I got totally caught up with trying to figure out a plan to go to Greece tonight. I found a flight to Athens, did some research as to which island or islands to go to, checked out ferry schedules and places to stay. Liz pointed out, in the end when she asked how much it would cost, that it would simply be too expensive for me to do right now. The other thing I was thinking I could do is go to Cappadocia. That would actually be pretty badass and much more affordable. The flight to Athens is more expensive and then the ferries to/from the islands are a little spendy as well. Flying to Cappadocia and spending a few days would be a simpler, I think. I’ll have to do some research on traveling in that area and how long I’d want to spend there. It looks super beautiful.

I had a pretty good conversation with Jim earlier today. I last spoke with him when I first got to China. He provided some good insight into my life and everything. I don’t feel like I’m in the midst of a crisis, but I suppose I sort of am. It’s kind of a crisis that’s been going on for a long time now that I think about it. The crisis started shortly after leaving my last job over a year and half ago. Hmm.

I’ll figure something out. I mean I’ve got to, right? You hear stories about people having breakdowns and coming through the other side of it all the time. I suppose you don’t hear about people having breakdowns and not figuring it out because those stories aren’t told. Hmm, I sure hope I don’t become the poster child for that. Fuck.

I found myself walking today and at several different times started laughing at thoughts I had that I found to be funny. That used to happen all the time before I lost touch with my sense of humor. It was a nice relief to have it happen again. I take it as a great sign. I’m getting stronger and becoming more of myself again. At least I hope so, anyway.

Tomorrow is another day full of new opportunities and challenges. I hope to meet those opportunities and challenges in a good way. Today was a good day.
