A stiff drink can oft times alleviate all

[theatokos]

I am seeing Juneau through new eyes once again. Seeing its greyness, shabiness, faults and all. I still love it. I still miss it, but I realize that what was once so shiny about it was the life that I had here. A life that I no longer have here and cannot pretend that I do. And that is okay. It's not a painful realization, just..... a marking of a season past, or an acknowledgement of the consequences of my choices.

And I have been humbled today. By both my town and a good friend. Necessary moments. Uncomfortable, but necessary.

I rode the city bus here for the first time in YEARS. Being transportation-less in this town sucks.

I am also rethinking this LJ thing. Not sure if I will continue with it, but.... I am kinda ashamed to admit that I like it (oh Matthew, I know, I know).

Off to talk with the sis while she cooks dinner. Time for another drink, too.

But I'll miss you if you stop using your LJ! :-(

We're having similar experiances, being humbled, public transport- I'm looking forward to coffe/meal. Did we pick a time?

As I was stretching this morning I was thinking about quitting LJ and I realized that what once began for a specific person has now taken on a life of it's own. I don't plan to quit. I find that I look forward to you and one or two other people, as well as the goddess_wisdom journal. I won't go. :)

No we hadn't picked a time yet.... Mon.... you're busy from 2-5.... shall we do dinner? In the dining hall or elsewhere? I suggest dining hall because I am going to BROKE after being here. We can just sit at one of the two person tables and ignore everyone else!

yay!

(that was supposed to be a "pout" not a "put", from earlier :-)
