A Good Day

So I got up this am to the sun shining!  I did go for my run and felt so good after.  I ran around my neighborhood of Ranelagh, to Rathmines, and up by Portabello, then back.  It wasn't that long of a run but goodness, I needed it.  It was nice too to be able to see things I hadn't and to put some places in my mind of where I'd like to go back. 

I went back to the studio and showered to go out then got a call from Allan saying he wanted to make sure I was up and making the best of the day, not sobbing in bed for being alone!  Ha.  I went to the bank and got my account set  up and then walked around the area just outside the bank (Baggot St).  I'm not sure what that area is called but it was cute too and I got some things from a hardware store that I've been needing (incense, a colander, a card for Aunt Pat's bday, and a wine opener). I found a TESCO which is good and also saw some other cute cafes, etc.  I found a video store and bought a movie for tomorrow.  I have to be at the apartment in the am for internet installation so I figured I need something to watch.  Actually, last night I found out that the E-Reader Craig gave me already has a bunch of books on it so I started reading one.  I found Wuthering Heights too, so that's a classic to fall back on. 

I got a call from Luke this am too and guess, what?  He's "hiring" me.  I will be volunteering at his school starting Monday.  It will look great on my CV (resume) and will get me out of the house and not spending money.  I'm so excited.  I'll have coffee with the American Chelsea first on Monday, then go to "work" and finally have drinks with an American from NC who found me on FB.  She's coming to Dublin with a friend and thought she'd reach out to me.  I'm so excited.

I've got plans tonight with a friend I've not yet met.  It's Donal's brother, Eoin.  That should be fun.  I met a guy who just moved in next door to me too.  He's from NY and here at UCD (where I might go) to do his Masters.  He said his name is Josh, I think.  Things looking good so far, and it's only 3pm.  Just thought I'd keep you posted, since you're sooo interested in my little life!

Much love, HES
