Music: With A Little Help From My Friends - Ellis Island


Austin has finally moved home! I'm so excited. Over the past 10 months, he lived in Eugene while I've stayed in Portland. We managed to see each other every 2 weeks which was so nice. The hardest part every time was driving away. We'll have to do this again in September, and maybe for a little bit the following fall, but otherwise we're on the home stretch!

I went down last weekend to help him clean, pack, and move stuff to the storage unit. He had been feeling pretty sick the previous week, and I was teasing him that it was just allergies, trying to keep him from believing he was sick in an effort to keep him from getting sicker - does that make sense? Well anyway, I came down with a sore throat, congestion, body aches, fatigue, and chills on June 14. He really HAS been sick! And I got whatever this is from him.

I just gave up Facebook for Lent. I'll probably start blogging more now haha! Facebook can be so toxic and stressful sometimes, so this will be good for me. It's such a habit! Hopefully afterward I'll use it less. One year, when I would blog every day in my Livejournal, I gave up LJ for Lent. Afterward, I rarely ever posted. I was happy that it cured my habit. I don't want to be tied to anything on the computer. I want to get outside more, visit friends and family more, and be able to check more things off my to-do list!

Here's to technological freedom!
