Nostalgia, Il Divo and Inflammation...

Hahaha!

I just had a conversation with some friends about inflammation of many things on the body... lol. I won't go into details, but as a girl, taking antibiotics, you'd understand. Even if you think you don't understand, trust me, you understand!

Speaking of antibiotics. I can finally sit up for longer than an hour without wanting to pass out. I've gone running AND have worked once already this week. I'm finally not feeling under the weather. Yay!!1 It's been two weeks and running since the sore throat started and such a sob story on going to the hospital etc... I think we've had enough of the being sick in Japan story...

Nostalgia has hit. But, I'd like to take it as my understanding just how blessed I am to have such loving and super, ridiculously, intelligent friends :). However, it's nostalgia. I was doing Pilates, listening to K-Love and a sense of nostalgia came over me. I wanted Lydia to be in her study nook studying (or in the corner four feet away from me lol) and my crazy babies running around and getting mad at one another. I wanted friends that know what I'm thinking and how I'm feeling before I act to be here, all living with me in my little apartment. So far, my phone bill is ridiculous! But, it's a small price to pay to hear the voices of my loved ones. Skype hasn't worked out thus far.

Il Divo makes me miss Ciro more than ever, but Il Divo brings back the fondest memories and makes me happy to listen. We still do our three-five minute phone sessions per night lol and on Sundays take more time to actually catch up in one another's lives. Sometimes we just whine on the phone, but it's nice to comfort each other. Il Divo is what is on my radio station now ;)

I'll have two weeks off in October :) Vacation time here I come.

I have my first volleyball practice on Saturday and have met, made a bad joke with and not understood my coach all in one night. I look forward to playing and sweating.

I've also acquired a running buddy! Yay Tai!!! He took me on a "trail" run and we ended up at track (said track that I always pass on the way to my staff meetings).

So, in an attempt to get through and embrace the nostalgia, I'm happy. Some days more than others. Some days I'm stupid happy. Other days I cry. Like today may be a crying day. We'll see. Granted... it's that time of the month again.

I had my first language exchange where I am helping a friend improve his writing. It's so much easier to improve the writing of others than to improve your own. But, whatevs.

Annndddd I'm done. Happy Thursday. Jersey Shore comes on soon I'll fist pump to that!
