iSmartNetwork Magazine The online magazine for you…
happy friday everyone. i should now sitting alone on my lounge in my robe and 4 blankets( i am becoming that person and i love it) i thought i would just come check in because i haven’t in a while. the recent months has been kinda strange…
after 6 months of a lot of trip i felt super worn down, physically and emotionally. we both actually get extremely ill with a bacterial infection in beijing last month and part of me doesn’t feel 100% still. it was actually really scared because justin got sick first and i have never seen him like that. i’ll spare you the details but basically throwing up everywhere and in a lot of agony. and then it came to me the next day! but you know what? it kinda brought us closer. it’s not easy being somewhere unfamiliar, sick, it can be difficult to communicate( i was just running around the streets looking for a pharmacy or someone who could help me quickly before “ive decided to” wheel him across the street to a infirmary) but while we were going through it, we were together, sometimes laughing at how bad it was, ordering toast and congee to the room on recur, basically get bed sores. it took a while to retrieve!
i’ve also been going through some personal material, my mom and stair father( who’s been in “peoples lives” since i was 2) are getting divorced. and while i have been through divorce once before, it hasn’t really been easy to accept and it’s was put forward a lot of feelings. i’m working it out in therapy and luckily my drug has so far been preserved me actually on track with my feeling most periods. but i’ve definitely been putting up a hurdle around me, staying residence, prepare, hanging out with justin and occassionally having a pal over. it’s been simple-minded and slow and i like it for now. we chose we are going to stay in california for the holidays, decompress and cook a big thanksgiving meal at home. and then maybe run away to vegas for all you can eat buffets for christmas. TBD but sounds merriment and weird.
in exciting report, marriage scheming is proceeding really well !! we have the date, location( new orleans because justin is from there !) the venue, the florist, the dress, the photographer, the catering…it’s all working out and i am so pleased to see you both! we really aren’t doing a ceremony, only a big dancing party with tons of southern meat. i want to keep it as stress free and fun as possible. but i guess that’s everyone’s goal right?
joanie and i started cooking school…a 20 week program at the brand-new academy of cooking. more on that soon because i would have liked to record things we have learned! i’m trying to really focus and follow this new passion of excavation. never is common knowledge that could come of it, and for right now, it’s “re giving me” a lot of pleasure!
hmmm what else? we are heading to ireland in about a week, i’ve never been! we are street tripping around for a chore and trying to find a cluster of cool stuff to do and document. let me know if you have any favorites, please! and is it SO scary to drive on the other side of the road…i’m a little spooked.
ok i hope you have a very chill( or very exciting, whichever you prefer) weekend. it feels nice to check in, i need to more often! xx bri
