Still alive

Still alive. Still in Wisconsin. I'm getting into a nice little weekend routine of spending my afternoons at the pool, soaking up the Midwestern sunshine and trying to forget everything that consumes me during the week. I try and catch up with phone calls to family and friends, and not miss everyone so much I want to cry. But I'm starting to make some friends here (I'm headed into my seventh week here in Wisco, and I can hardly believe it), so the loneliness is less pressing than it was at first.

I still really miss my amazing Plaza hotel bed, though.
