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.

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.
