Today Rebecca and I rode the BART to the city so she could do wedding errands and I could freshen up my summer wardrobe by purchasing fifteen new versions of my favorite tank top at H&M. It was the first time I'd been to the city since leaving six weeks ago and after we went to try on her dress at the very grown-up gallery on Maiden Lane, my heart sunk more than just a little bit when we made our way back into the Metro station and I saw that the next N-Judah outbound was only six minutes away.
Do I really not live here anymore?
My mood lifted once we got home and Mark suggested we go out and have a fun dinner as a special treat. Sushi at Chaya followed by the two of us going on a wild goose chase for Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, all of us together curled up in the living room wearing pajamas to watch Best in Show...I was a little homesick, or more accurately pastsick, for my old apartment at 1000 Judah and my usual job at Brandeis and my truest of friends who are here at sea level while I am up in the mountains, but it turned out to be nothing a little ice cream couldn't cure.
