Slow Down

New York was crazy. I wish I'd been in a better place health wise. I got my stitches out on Thursday afternoon and then flew to NY early the next morning. I had a pretty ugly skin graft going through various stages of healing while I was there. It was a dark purple for the majority of my time in New York. I forgot about it for the most part, until a kind New Yorker would say, "Hey miss - you got something on your nose!"

I did get to do some touristy things while I was there -- I shopped on Canal Street, and went to the top of the Empire State Building, got lost on the Subway -- asked the New York fire department for directions when I got lost.

We ate at some really fine restaurants - and it was all paid for, which was really nice. Fortunately, there was a guy on the trip who'd never experienced New York before; unfortunately he was a guy :) It would have been nice to see more of New York, but didn't want to cause any weirdness -- no carriage rides through Times Square etc... :P

Times Square was amazing all lit up -- Another thing I was amazed at was all the cheap shopping, maybe the women I was with just knew where to shop, but I was impressed by all the deals.

I feel like I haven’t had a moment to breathe in all of this. There has been so much transition and there will be so much transition for the next couple of months. Sometimes I feel I can hardly breathe from the weight of it all.

Tre and I have been moving our stuff to our new house. I think he was shocked by all my books - I'm shocked by all my books. He's living there now and I'll be joining him in 38 days. It's such a short distance away and is compounded by the fact that I'm in a wedding in 2 1/2 weeks and I'll be going to LA between now and then for 10 days.

Life is not slowing down -- please pray that I can stay afloat.
