text: "just fed my bunny"
there is a little bunny that sometimes hops its way into his yard. whenever he sees it he goes inside for some bread and tosses it to the bunny, and watches as it eats.
hee hee : )
edit: "i think i'll call him mister bunny."

there have been some rough patches these past few weeks.
always the same- no matter how far i am, and how far i have come, the things i want to change the most are not "fixable" by me. they never will be, they are beyond just my own control. and they hurt the most, mean the most, because it's family. oh, family...
but god is always great about giving me perspective just when i need it.
to open my eyes to see that i am so freeeaking beloved. so privileged. so blessed.
that NO MATTER WHAT, i will never be beyond his grace, his love, his hope.
i found tears of gratitude and joy :)
how great is our god?

oh and
fred is doing well, but no thanks to me. i've really been neglectful of him ever since i moved him out into the living room (because i got him a bigger space that won't fit in my room). out of sight, out of mind. sigh. tonight i will make sure to clean his hizzay, give him a treat, and shine a lamp on him for some extra heat.
it's so sad that you all ask me regularly how he is doing, and even though i automatically reply that he is okay.......i don't really know =\

my new apartment
-teeeeeeeeeny tiny studio
-1 mile from my current apartment, still in edgewater
-5min walk from lake michigan :)
-3min walk from the train and LSD bus routes
-right off broadway = super easy access to uptown, devon = tons of viet, indian, african, etc food
-gut rehabbed, with a lovely new kitchen (stainless steel/granite!)
-mine, all mine, to decorate and fuss over
the neighborhood is known for having lots of gang and drug activity. it is also known for its incredibly proactive, resilient community of refugees, working class families, and students. i will be safe, i will be smart, and i will do my part to keep the community beautiful!

leave me alone
i realized today that it is july. holy cow, i meant august. yes, august..........
july was sleepless. i talked to a lot of people, a lot of the time. i did a lot of listening. there were many, many fun activities. but there was close to zero purposeful alone time. and if you know me, you know that's something i not only crave, but NEED in order to function well. maybe that's why my head feels so cotton ball-y.
i want to sleep. i want to catch up on all of my korean shows and pbs docs. i want to read for pleasure without feeling guilty. i want to journal. i want to lay out by lake michigan (alone).
tonight is my first free evening of the entire week, and tomorrow my first free morning. i am going to sleep for at least eight hours......and then do whatever i want. YEAH MAN!
ps. i am a big liar re: previous entry. i realized that life was not going to happen in a good way if i kept my plans the way they were. the trip home has been canceled, my bffl's visit here was also sadly canceled, my dad is coming to chicago to help me pack and move, the LSW has been pushed back to september.
