doing.


oregon is over, which makes me a little sad.
i'm happy there is much talk of the next reunion...texas, i believe?
today has been a day of unwinding, which entails sleeping in, lounging, reading and writing, unpacking, things of that sort.

angela read a whole [thick] book and is on another.

all i've eaten today is about 1/3 of a box of gluten free nutty rice cereal with hemp milk [which is my new favorite, not including hazelnut, which i've only seen in jamaica even though it's america-made] topped with tons of blueberries, a small bowl of cottage cheese with blueberries and sprinkled with flaxseeds and cinnamon, two huge glasses of ice water, and now i'm eating a giant mug full of cherries and drinking iced darjeeling.

i'm hoping to attend the aveda institute [not random. been wanting to for YEARS] in minnesota since my uncle suggested that one and offered for me to live with their fam while i attend. that would be so great-i'll be able to spend time with my grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles i miss...which means i must capitalize on living near ama right now and visit her much more often! [because that is something i was looking forward to upon returning from jamaica]

i can tell that i'm becoming much more healthy in general now that i'm eating gluten-free foods.
i got to see trigger and dave at a show in portland. that was fabulous.

i miss my hume friends and hume lake and friends from hume who aren't there.
i am very excited to go to kayla's wedding tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm also very excited to go to jamaica on monday. it's funny, i just feel like i'm popping across town.
