Gettttt out of hereee Cheyenne Jackson!!!

Today I explored all Fort Tryon Park has to offer. Then Jordon and I ran from the highest point of the park all the way to our apartment. Ah yes, we jogged up those hilly streets all the way home. It was nuts and I almost threw up when we stopped, but it still felt amazing. Before that, I hadn't officially worked out or lifted since about 3 weeks ago. (Thanks to my never-ending cough that finally went away and not having time to attend dance or yoga due to moving activities).

I also held our apartment's first Sunday brunch today-complete with whole wheat blueberry pancakes and sugar-free syrup. Hurray!

Tomorrow I am venturing to BuonItalia to check out what Chelsea has to offer me Italian market-wise. I hope to buy the best Havarti and Asiago in the city. Because I have standards...when it comes to cheese.

And also, I think this is the week. The week in which I finally get to see the mothership of all motherships, aka what I've been waiting for for years: TOS.
Lottery, here I come. Wish me luck, y'all.

In recent news,
Bridget flew in to NY yesterday for good. Tim will arrive shortly also.

I love where I'm at right now. Physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. I love not knowing what tomorrow or next week will bring. I love who I'm living with and my neighborhood and being three blocks away from my friends. I love not being in college anymore. I love being surrounded by people that think like me, and walk as fast as me and are passionate about the same things as me. I love where I'm living and that it feels like home---even moreso than my original home in Michigan did, which weirds me out that something could feel so right and I have this strange peace of mind all of a sudden.

I truly do not remember the last time I was this happy.

Ha, and apparently even the people who I talk to on the phone recognize that- all I hear from the Michigan folk is "I've never heard you sound this happy before!" This is it. And because I never want to move my shit ever again, I'm just going to die in the Heights. But first, I need to live one hell of a full life. Which is why I need to go to bed.

I love..lamp.
goodnight.
