A Day in the Life-March 4th

I arrived in Coventry,CT safe and sound. I was physically a wet dishrag and no matter what I did I felt like I had been put through the wringer. My friend Mich was the same way. I think it was lack of real sleep for the 3 days before I arrived. That and the 6 day headache I had that just wouldn't quit. Sunday was the day I got nothing done.

I am staying in the little apartment that they have that adjoins the house. Its nice to have a little quiet space to retreat to. There is a door that adjoins the kitchen so if I want to talk to my friend when she is home and is working on her Uberkuchi.com business...I just open the door. I can sit in "my space" and work in the lap top she is letting me use and still keep her company.

Sunday I got settled in my apartment and we tried to watch Long Way Round with Mich's husband. But as luck would have it the DVD player wouldn't read the disk. We had to relocate to a different room and watch the movie on the computer. We barely were able to do that since Andrzej fell asleep and Mich and I were both fading fast.

Monday was spent answering emails, checking my art accounts, Mich packing up shipments for orders placed while she was away. We were able to go to a few "ethnic" grocery stores I had asked to go to when I had arrived. I was able to pick up a few spices I had depleted and a few health care items that I couldn't get living in Eldred.

We had intended on going for Indian food, but every time we found a place it seemed to be closed to prepare for the dinner shift. We ended up at a Vietnamese place. I had never eaten that typed of food so I was really excited. The place was really clean, the women who owned the place was very nice and the food was excellent. I had a grilled shrimp noodle dish which had mint, cucumbers, carrots, bean sprouts and a fish and mild red chili sauce. The portion looked large so I was happy that I hadn't ordered an appetizer. It was the perfect end to our little road trip. I joked with my friend that we had had a successful hunting-and-gathering trip.

We were finally able to get the DVD player to work so we had movie night when Andrzej got home. We watched Rogue Trader and a few episodes of Long Way Round.

So Today is Tuesday and Mich is back to work. Andrzej has the day off but is doing some construction work on the house and I am back to my research for my future. I hope I find some leads or get some ideas, because I am getting really depressed and panicked.

I would like to start my life and not live on the good graces of my friends any longer than I have. It makes me sad that my inability to fix my life is stopping my friend who I am living with in NY from getting on properly with his life.

I wish the Universe would give me a little bit of a break..and I don't mean a break of any bone in my body.
