But all the essentials, except for food, are here. My bed is even here, so I can sleep here now. I just got out of my shower in my new place, and I'm really getting settled.
It makes me think of how much my life has really changed in the last year.
Some things include the most amazing changes....I love kickboxing with a passion I can't describe. And it's evident in little changes people notice every day. When we were moving my mattress yesterday, my brother was all impressed by how strong I was.
And today....though my abs will hate me for it tommorow, I kept up as well as I could with Olivia's fight ab combo. It's really nasty. You want a workout that will make you cry, I'll share it with you.
I also managed to run two and a half laps today without stopping. A new record for me. I have to thank my fellow classmate, and motivational coach Shawn for that one. He's awesome at encouraging people.
But I've also realized how keenly I miss some of the things from my life a year ago. I sorely miss the cuddling and casual touching that was a part of my circle of friends. I would even cuddle with my best guy friend hanging out in the King's Head. My mom has this great picture of my former friends and I in a cuddle pile on the couch. I kind of feel a little like one of Laurell K. Hamilton's leopards in the regarding to tocuhing. I like it, it heals me in a way that few other things can, and I just don't get it that much anymore.
Thank heavens I still have one or two friends that like the hugs. But I miss those puppy piles.
Other things to note: The oven is nearly clean enough to cook in, the internet is hooked up, and I actually have a phone. Now, if I could just manage to get some food to my apartment....
