hello everyone!!

it's only five and so far I've:

• spent an awesome two hours climbing with Lundy, getting back into the groove of the harness. my hands are chapped and chalky and my shoulders ache, but damn, it felt so good to be working out! climbing has always been the only sport i can tolerate and i can definitely see myself becoming a regular of The Rocknasium in Davis. the staff there was incredibly friendly and though slightly small, the gym has a good variety when it comes to difficulty. next time, bouldering!
• caught up with my indiana buddy. i'm so glad to hear that his impromptu vacation went well and that everything is right on track for him!
• gone shopping. it's funny how a year ago, i would have turned my nose up at even a sale rack in Macy's. now, goodwill is the only place i really shop. i got three new dresses and two tops for what one dress in a regular store would have cost. funny how the little things make me so happy. :-) i have no money, so i've stopped caring and now i just have fun thrifting!

now, i'm at Angela's in Sacramento on my second beer, eating fresh baked cookies and waiting for her to come home. Much love to everyone in the universe. I hope you all are as happy as I!
