It's the last Friday morning in July. As expected this month slipped by me so fast I barely had enough time to recognize it. Regatta took place and that was amazing. Annie came down with my family and we spent every day on the boat, roasting in the sun and drinking when we tied up. We spent a lot of time with the Rage crew in the evenings and just had a really good time. Coming home was good. I detoxed for about a week on fruits and veggies and got my life back on track. The weekends following were laid back which was nice because I really just needed some calm. I worked a promo here and there, took Milo for walks around the neighborhood, and watched way to many episodes on Investigation Discovery.

This weekend is Jens birthday. In celebration Annie, Jen, Katie, Katie's friend, and I will be setting off for New York in a few hours. We've got a hotel room booked at the Marriott Courtyard and are going up on the Megabus at 2pm. While I was at first frustrated by our late departure, I'm coming to terms with it now that I realize how much I still have to do. Plus, this just means less time for shopping up there which I'm sure is something I can't afford right now. As usual, I'm really excited and anticipating this weekend, but there is also a small pit of worry. I'm not sure why or where it's stemming from and I'm hoping I can just shrug it off.

Work is going as work goes. My house is going as my house goes. Lia moved in for a bit and accidently contributed to a massive flood in my basement. But I can't be mad at her - she felt really guilty and I know she simply just didn't know what she was doing. Regardless, it was a bummer having to miss half a day of work yesterday to shop-vac the basement for hours. Especially when I missed Tuesday for the Warped Tour and today for NYC.

Warped Tour was fun. Everyone keeps asking me how it was and I keep summing it up by saying it was long. Getting there was frustrating and took hours but once we were finally inside it was okay. Nothing ever really felt comfortable I suppose. Dan turned around to go home because he felt sick and we missed Yellowcard so there was nobody I was really too stoked about seeing other than Taking Back Sunday. I hung with Merrick's family and Sean a lot, as well as Jenna and Meredith. After the entire show was over everyone started to unwind and pull out the keg. I salvaged Patty from the crowd because I was worried about him driving so he hung out with us a bit. Ramps and Jen's sister showed up later in the evening and around 12 we decided to head out. Danny and I had casual talk which was refreshing but overall, our encounter seemed unsettling. Jack and I are getting back to a place that is real but I still feel slightly wary.

I'm mostly looking forward to my birthday weekend coming up in two weeks. There is a slight chance I went overboard on the invite list, but at the end of the day every person I want to come is coming which is exciting. Of course the person I wont to come the most can't but I've grown used to that as it's been the theme of summer. That being said, Noah and I are more than halfway through his leave! Just three more months to get through. I'm confident we can make it.

So that's a wrap. I have to do some laundry and pack my bags. Lots of stuff to do still! Until the next time...
