I imagine this will be somewhat satisfying for K-wrist. Since I'm using her computer and writing in her apartment about her, among other things.

I am in Boone. I have always not-so-secretly despised those people that are always all "Boone is amazing, I never want to leave, or if I did leave, all I want to do is go back". My ego decided that "life moves on, you have to progress" and that I would always have a fuzzy place for Boone in my heart, but I wouldn't pine for it.

Pine pine pine. Man am I pining. I had pretty uncontrollable emotions yesterday upon arrival. I NEVER felt this way upon returning to my actual home. Okay, so I'll subscribe to the fact that Boone is a magical place, and that everyone who gives it a real shot loves it. But I'm still holding strong to my "you've gotta move on" approach. It may not be for everyone, but being that I've already moved and started moving on, it's all I got.

Kristen, your computer arrow keeps clicking magically by itself and is being very detrimental to the flow of my typing. Is this some special setting? Because I HATE it. It keeps putting the cursor where it should not be.

The reason I came to Boone was for yoga. Dear, sweet, sacred yoga. Yoga here is not like yoga elsewhere. I can attest to this due to my attendance/working at one studio, in one town other Boone. I miss my teachers and friends. I do not like not having teachers. Can I take other teacher's classes in Knox? Sure. Do they "teach" me? Not so much. And being that the physical benefit is now not the primary reason for my yoga practice, it seems pointless to attend a class that only offers it.

I may be getting a massage from my massage guy here. My how I've missed him and his low rates. That he apparently only gives to me. And I'm okay with that.

I am staying with Kristen, and she, Sommer and I had a night of gossip, wine, and Thin Mints. I've really missed them, and it was the closest to our early college years relationship I've felt with either of them in a while. We are cooking dinner together tonight, which I am really happy about. Of all the people that I had intended to see while I was here, I am most content with just hanging out with the two of them. Perhaps because they are truly my oldest friends here. Even if our friendships took hiatus for several months/years at a time. I love them and I love being able to look at them and say "my you've grown, and yet you're still the same".

I am going to see the little guy I worked with here in Boone, and I really hope that I am mostly emotionally spent by the time I go to see him. Because being that he has autism, he probably will not get it if I'm crying all over him. And of course, I don't want to ruin the visit with blubbering. I'd rather just soak in the joy of being around him.


More yoga now.
