Helping Hands

Things are good. Friday was surprisingly sunny and beautiful and warm, so Laurel and I met up and took a walk up to the Alhambra and wandering around this beautiful secret garden type place. We got a pretty late start, though, so we caught a lovely sunset but it got dark pretty quickly. Leah had promised to make dinner do to the moneylessness thing, so Courtney and I went over to her place and we had an excellent feast of stir fry veggies with tofu, rice and bok choy. I got a migraine that night and went home to sleep, but Casey was online so we Skyped but with my lights turned off, since I was super light sensitive. The funny and tragic thing is that he was also really sick, like feverish and whatnot, so we were both just really unhappy and unwell, laying in bed and complaining to each other. Sometimes that's just what you need, I guess.

The snowy mountains look so beautiful at sunset!

So much yum!

Saturday I met up with Valentina to watch a movie, but it was beautiful day so we went on a walk instead and she went with me to the phone store to kind of decide what I'd want ahead of time and then we hung out at her place for a good while. I feel so lucky to have people that are so useful and kind in my life! That night I went to Camborio and Ben talked to his boss about getting me a free bottle of vodka since I was robbed there, and they actually made me drinks all night with it, so I just fed all my friends a bunch of vodka and ended up staying until the place closed. Needless to say, I was having a good time. Sunday I was that kinda goofy post-late night partying sort of sleepy and I went and hung out at Leah's and convinced her to go see a show at Vladimir Tzekov, which due to sleepiness we had a hard time understanding but it was really interesting, anyway. Next Sunday is an Alice in Wonderland show, so I'm really excited to check that out. Gotta get there early, though, this week it was PACKED.

This lady is all kinds of wonderful.

Despite the fact that Case and I were both basically incapacitated Friday night, he did open his weekly gift...

Pac Man candies! These reminded me of Casey because before I left, when we were working on a screen printing project with my mom and brother, he made a Pac Man T-Shirt.

In other news, I was finally able to buy groceries, thanks to my mom transferring money to Courtney's account, and Courtney getting money out for me! I was in pure edible bliss until I got home and realized that my kitchen is a shithole again. Thus far I have not had the will to deal with it, and so I am blogging instead of making my normal eggs and potatoes for breakfast.

Also, I want to say a huge thank you to my lovely aunt, Sis, who actually donated to the feed my travelin' belly fund, specifically to help me out with taking care of Gypsy. Thank you, Sis! Gypsy and I really appreciate it and it will really, really come in handy, especially since I'm hoping to take him home and I know that vet fees and stuff might be a little bit of a nightmare.

Do you see what I mean about being lucky? The Universe has surrounded me with amazing, generous people.
