Visiting old friends before the adventure!

     So its been a few weeks since I have written in my blog. I have been super busy. I have been running around like a mad woman trying to get everything sorted out and whatnot before taking off. So let me give you an update of where I am right now. 
     
     So far I have gone through everything I had to see what I needed to get rid of. Who knew one could be such a pack rat. Everything else went into storage. I have since bought an old military pack which I now live out of. I took my car to a junkyard and scrapped it. With the money I received from junking my car I bought a greyhound bus ticket to Kalamazoo, MI so I could visit old friends before I actually hit the road. 

     I have been so happy since I been back. I love that I get to see all these happy faces and good times before I hit the road. Especially after the rough time that I had back in Massachusetts. I now have a place to stay until I leave which is really nice. Not only is it nice to see old friends but its been nice to meet new ones already as well. I know that I was only gone for 4 months but it seems like i was gone for at least a year, part of what was nice about coming back was that it felt like I never left. Everything just came back together. Chillin with friends like we had just hung out the other day. My first day back I was thinking to myself why did I even leave, and even though I did not have the greatest of times out east I learned a few lessons and some good times were had, so regardless it was worth it. 

     I feel so blessed that coming back out here to the Midwest I was welcomed with open arms and am receiving help until I leave. I can donate plasma again which is nice for some short term money until its time to go. That will be nice. The one thing that I already do miss though is not having a vehicle. Even though things are in pretty close proximity it definitely still takes a bit of time to get from one end of town to the next. Walking is definitely good and much needed on this body but in this hot sticky weather its just no fun and more of a burden than a good time.

     Anyway its about time I start my day. I will try to post something tomorrow. I've gotten back into my writing so maybe I will post something like that in here within the next week. Until next time...
