today was the day exactly one year ago an airplane took me to the uk. there was no return ticket. this was a one-way ride. i still remember buying this one-way ticket. it was scary...because it was real. it was really happening. and, i had suppressed the actual goodbye at the airport until i got in line for security. that's when the impact of me leaving hit me. i was a blubbering fool as the guards waved that wand over my body because i always beep when i step through the metal detector. damn underwire.
anywho, a year's passed. and, it's almost midnight now so the day's pretty much over. i'm eating dinner...in bed. when you live on your own, you make the rules.
i decided i should do something tonight to honour the fact that i survived this year. and what a year it has been. there's been meltdowns. there's been realisations. there's been some pretty sweet moments.
so, i went and saw this, which i find kinda funny because i visit this place five days a week.
and before that...i bought these. you don't even want to know the steal these were. so...ridiculously priced. such a deal. and i've never seen the christmas special. win-win.
oh, and i've been reading this since sunday afternoon. i went for lunch at a couple's house after church and they let me borrow it. i had a profound moment on the train this morning and found myself crying. goodness me. but, that's a whole other blog post. one day. i bought new pjs tonight as well. these bottoms were inspired by the book. i like symbolism. it serves as a pretty good reminder. i like memory lane.
cheers to the next year...and good night.
