So, I was in Seattle last weekend – great fun and I’m glad I got to spend time with my cousins. We went to a TON of happy hours, and Seattle is actually really nice (lots stuff to do, but still has greenery, is clean and there’s public art everywhere which is cool). I also got to hang out with my niece and nephew (once removed) Charlotte and Duncan, the two most adorable half-Chinese and half-Australian kids ever. The weather was perfect. I’m also excited about going to Florida for Memorial Day, but I’m pretty sure I need to not eat until then if I’m going to put on a bathing suit thanks to all those happy hours. Oops.

Traveling tends to wear me out and to leave my life in a state of general disarray, so I have been trying to go out less and to take care of some apartment stuff (cleaning, etc.) and administrative life stuff. So, yeah, I’ve been pretty anti-social lately and will probably stay that way for a little while. I just need to recharge.

Christina’s last day was on Friday, and I am utterly and totally heartbroken. For a while there when we were in the same office and pulling crazy hours, we were spending literally 50-60 hours a week together. I’m so used to consulting her on every minor decision and to confiding in her about … just everything … I feel like my life is going to suck a little (read: a lot) until I get used to it. I’m going to have to find things to occupy my time during the workday, though I’m not sure what. So yeah, it’s going to be pretty quiet at work unfortunately. And Ron’s gone this week. Sigh. Bleh.

Otherwise, things are pretty calm. No pressing life decisions looming up ahead, and I’m drama-free … for the time being, anyway. I’m looking into moving costs and housing options and thinking about whether I should try out for the Chicago Law School Winter Musical or for Scales of Justice, which is their law school a capella group. It’s dorky, I know, but I miss singing, and I REALLY miss performing and being on a stage.

Oh, on a side note, I found the funniest birthday card when I was looking for a card for Christina’s Going-Away. It’s a picture of a birthday candle and it says: If someone tried to ruin your birthday, I’d ruin their life. Happy birthday.

Well, I thought it was funny, anyway. Alright, I’m off to bed. Tschuss.
