one last night.

I'm sitting at my living room desk in my apartment, cooking Annie's gluten-free mac-and-cheese and trying not to die from the heat. I'm listening to "Carolina In My Mind" and "Sweet Home Alabama." That's right....I go back to North Carolina soon!!!!! But more specifically, tonight is my last night in the city. Oddly, I'm kind of sad, but not so sad that I want to stay. I've been busy on a medical writing freelance job, and this weekend has been full of work and packing and cleaning. 


And - I finally met my next door neighbor. I held the elevator for her while she was locking up her apartment, and we got to talking in the elevator, because I had a bunch of recycling I was taking down to the basement. Banner day today. 
And ironically, her name is Faith. 


Still looking for a regular job down South. I emailed the guy at NCSU in the English department that Jill McCorkle told me to email, and got in touch with the Chapel Hill Library. *fingers crossed*. 
In all honesty, I need this time out of the city. I'm worn down, exhausted, have sensory-overload and need to recharge my batteries. I need to fill up my heart again.

But I did it. I survived the year. :)
