Last Saturday I went home to get some stuff figured out, see family and friends, etc. It was a whirlwind trip - I left early Wednesday morning. But in that short period of time I: spent the afternoon with Dad and Celeste (we discovered that Revere beach is not a shit hole and had some amazing French Cambodian food), had ice cream with Alyssa, had several awesome conversations with Amie, bonded with Orie and Hakuna, spent an afternoon with my mom (I got us completely lost in the Fells - it was GREAT!), drank a beer and obsessed about school (among other things) with Naureen, went to the gym, went running twice, had a doctor's appointment, laid in the sun and finished Unaccustomed Earth, drank about 5 million bottles of seltzer, met with my professor, spent some lovely time with Jen after a year of not seeing her (and remembered how awesome it is to spend time with her) and enjoyed many many iced coffees. It was so short and so amazing. And amazingly hard to leave. Sigh. The weather was great and I could walk around without getting drenched in sweat. Ok...I need to stop thinking about this. Homesickness. Ugh.
I officially started my job as of 8/1, but then was away until 8/5, so I started 8/6. Today was my third day. I'm feeling a mixture of overwhelmed and frustrated. I need to read a lot and organize files, etc. But all of my like tasks (i.e. things with deadlines, actual products, etc.) are on hold except for one report that I'm editing. I hate waiting on other people, particularly when they are very busy. Oh well.
What else...um...well I decided to go hardcore on my diet/exercise routine. Very exciting - I know.
Oh super sadness - my cat, Harpo, is missing. He wasn't at home when my mom returned from her visit with me last Monday and he hasn't shown up since then. I still have hope - he is the coolest cat. He simply can't disappear. Send a little cat prayer out into the universe if you have the chance. Look how cute - this is him when he was just a teenager:
