Things change

I knew that when I left that things would change back in the States. I was and still am quite excited to see what has and has not changed when I get back. I changed my ticket so that I got a refund from the Buenos Aires ticket. I bought a ticket to leave from Lima, Peru on December 15th to arrive in Phoenix on the same day. I'm doing great. I do not mind living with Antonio and my Spanish is really improving. My teacher is amazing. I'm have the flu right now but am getting better. It was only a two day event.

It is not hard to live with Antonio because it is not like living with someone really long term. I do not have all my things to fit into his life. I'm not changing his set up and I do not worry about bills. It is a short term thing and once I stopped freaking out about it, easy to do. I'm getting restless and will move on in a week or so, but I'm not so excited about traveling on. In the future, if I travel again, I will make plans to stop and actually live somewhere. Have my own place that I need to clean and make decisions about.

That is all normal. Back in the States, there is a new president. There is still people caring way too much about social issues that do not effect their lives. I have a friend going to Russia for a month. And I lost Whiskers. She was put down yesterday because she was old and turned anemic. I do not let myself think about it because that is what I do when I grieve. I have no pets now. She was very important to me. I have made very few plans for my return. Get a job and live with mom. But I had already started to plan on when I would get her back and trying to figure out the kitty litter situation. So that is the main purpose of my blog.

My cat is dead.
