Congratulations on the house! That’s very exciting. It’s like you’re a real adult. Someday I hope to be one myself. We’ll see how that turns out.

I’m looking forward to fall, too. The knees are doing alright. I did the left one in April and have the right one scheduled for 10/5. I’ve got 11 more days of work before then…. or 88 hours more of being at work (not necessarily working, mind you), but who’s counting? I’m dreading going through it all again, but really my orthopedic surgeon can cause me no more pain than I already feel everyday by just having to go in to work a job I loathe. The hardest part of all of this is biding my time until I’m free. I’m so excited to find a job better suited to me and move to Chicago. I can’t wait to get started on all that after my next surgery. I’m also headed to NYC on Friday. I’m staying with some friends and can’t wait to explore the city and spend time with some great friends from college. I also started meditating about a month ago. I took a short class from a guy who teaches it, which basically started me on this journey. I really like it and want to learn more about it. There are a number of meditation centers around Mpls so I’ve been checking them out in my spare time. I’ve realized I really want to be more spiritually connected with the world around me and this is definitely going to get me there. Aside from all that, not much else is new with me. No special guy at this time… surprise, surprise. I’m really hoping that a move to Chicago jars something loose in my head and I can somehow make that happen. Although, if they were all just a little bit more like you………..

Anyway, it’s great to hear from you. Do you have anything fun coming up this fall? Any special guy in your life?

P.S. I attached a picture of my friend Carmen and me when I visited her in Chicago in June. Just in case you forgot what I looked like… it’s crazy it’s been over a year since my exit from facebook!
