thrihyrne | Back in Oregon!

So I moved up my flight and am now with my best bud in Eugene, spending a good 9 days or so before returning to Portland. I'll be living with my former roommate, Julia, and I really do think that will be a healthy environment. I've been reassured that there's more heat, and while she and I had a few awkward moments, we really do have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. I'll take a month or so to focus on getting reacclimated, getting internet set up again, and focusing on my mental and physical health. I'm enjoying Eugene as well, though I haven't seen too much of it. But even just standing in the yard of this gorgeous house where Jen is living in an adjoining cottage and looking out to see the mountains and fir trees is like being given pure oxygen. And Jen is an amazing cook, and uses all organic ingredients, so my body has never known it so good. She may even have convinced me to go caffeine free, which is no small thing given my predilection to drink copious amounts of Diet Coke.

It'll be around the 5th once I'm back at Julia's and if people want my address, just send me an email. All said, it is good to be back. I think that in order to move forward, I needed to get out on my own and use the resources that I have in Rose City/Stumptown. I won't have a car this time, so that will make things different, but they do have an amazing public transportation system.

So glad you're back in location you love, so sorry it sounds like it happened under not the best of circumstances. I hope it doesn't take you long to get all settled back in Portland. Take care of yourself!

We need to meet up at some point! Grab some food or something.

Safe trip.

I'm glad to see everything is working out nicely. :)

glad you're having a nice respite.

I'm happy to hear that you arrived safely! And I'm sorry we didn't get to have one more visit before you left. But it sounds like things worked out for you and it's starting to shape up nicely for you out there!
Enjoy every moment, luv! <3

I am, too. The exit could have been less dramatic, but I'm here now and things are going well. It shouldn't be too challenging to get settled in; mostly it'll be getting internet set up so I can look up the bus and train schedules. I'm being very well taken care of. :)

We do! I'm not sure what area you're in, but once I'm getting more comfortable with the public transport I'm sure I can find you and go to a place you recommend.

Me, too. There are nearly always hurdles to get to the place you want to be, but it's all good now. BTW, I shared that Indochine "Marilyn" video to my best friend today. She enjoyed it, too! ♥

As am I. I've never eaten so well, and so healthfully in my entire life! And you wouldn't believe the yard of the house where she is; I so wish I'd put my camera in my bag and not my boxes. :(

I know— I wrote you an email today and said that my primary regret is not getting another visit prior to my relocation. But you can come see me! And no doubt I'll be back to visit. I'm enjoying every minute. This morning I was standing out in the yard, seeing the mountains and mist and it was so beautiful… I cried with joy. Things are indeed going well.

Glad to hear you're safely in Oregon, and enjoying your time in Eugene! I hope once you've gotten yourself settled back in to Portland, we could find a time for a visit. Welcome back!

Yes indeed! I'll take a little time to get settled, do the basics, and then of course I'd love to visit. Thank you for the welcome! :)

glad things worked to get you to Oregon, but it sounds like there was some drama involved. I'm sorry.

take care of yourself *hugs*

There was a little drama, but it's all passed and I'm on a healing, healthy path now. Nice to see you! Hope all is well in your world. ♥

Back in Oregon!
