Equinox

From Left: Conor, Maddie J.

With a stem of porto, the end of Dexter season 7 and Poops curled into the back of my knees, I welcomed spring. This time last year I had my Focus packed to the top in 25 years worth of my life, accompanied by my grandparent's car & toting uhaul. I had worked to the last minute in Boulder, organizing racer manuals for Gemini Events when my 70+ year-old grandparents & tiny lil mum moved my things from my 3rd floor apartment. I don't think I understood it was Equinox then. I don't think I thought of anything outside of myself.

My friend from Boulder, Maddie J, is currently driving Northwest to live with me for a few months as she partakes in her clinicals through Denver's PT program. She is a gem. My mum & I have set up a bedroom, which felt like nesting I'm sure, for the both of us. I haven't been this anxious in a while. I made this conscious decision to stay at home, and though I love her, and though it's such a small piece in time, I feel like a piece of something I lost is coming back to me.
