I don't want to post. I really don't. I don't know why, I can't explain it, I have about a million posts pre-written in my brain, but I just don't feel like putting them down. I will, someday, not for you, but for me. I need to remember how my brain is dealing with things right now.
Long story short, I'm getting more settled into my new apartment everyday. I almost didn't leave the apartment yesterday (I had a case of the saddies and couldn't bear the thought) but then I remembered the rule I made that I will leave my apartment everyday, even if it's just to take a walk. I'm in FRANCE, gosh darnit! So I went on a 20 minute walk and on my way, found a bread vending machine (France, pour qui tu te prends?) outside of a Boulingerie, and I bought some vaguely sketchy grapefruit juice from a vaguely sketchy convenience store near my apt. There is no expiration date on it, and the box was covered with dust but ... we'll see. I did have a face-to-face human interaction in it's purchase which yesterday, was worth 1€50.
Today was a better day. Better energy, more interactions, plans for tonight. Now I'm going to make some dinner which will involve rice, eggplant, and curry sauce I treated myself to at the grocery store when I was looking for a big trashcan for my kitchen (the one I have currently is bathroom sized -- NOT big enough) but the cheapest one was 14€. What?! But I did buy two (2) drying racks for clothes. Success!
OK, rice!

Good job Kinzie. Remember, one foot in front of the other!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard when being home was so incredibly amazing for two weeks! Ahhh, but in 27 days...and then maybe in the spring...hmmmm. Hope big! Love you!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, leaving the apartment everyday is a good resolution! I just might steal that one from you!
ReplyDeleteGoing outside every day is a great idea! I get far too comfy just staying in and watching movies, reading, or doing nothing, even in the closet where I lived last year. Must spend more time out in the world.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's been pretty rough sometimes, and I don't always want to go outside, but it definitely helps my spirit if I spend a bit of time breathing fresh air.
ReplyDeletei totally understand what you mean about having entries pre-written in your head, but when it actually comes down to writing them, you're not in the mood.
ReplyDeletealso, it is a good idea to leave the apartment everyday, even for just a little bit. i make sure to do that so that the winter blues won't get the best of me.
Oh man, bread vending machine = super sketch.
