A lesson learned...

O.K., I think I'll write about my weekend instead. It's a bit difficult to focus on this prompt right now and I had a really fun weekend.

Friday night, L and I went to the Yellow Sofa cafe and listened to a local gypsy jazz band, Swing Caravan. They sounded great and I discovered a new favorite drink: Matte Latte, steamed milk and Yerba Mate. Oh heaven. So delicious. So full of caffeine. Or matteine. Whatever.
It was great to have some solo time with L. It's been a while since we've hung out together partially because out friendship has been changing. I don't think it's a bad thing but we've been going in different directions with our lives. Sometimes I feel that maybe we should allow ourselves to grow apart but I don't really want that. L an I have been through many trials of friendship together and it's possibly one of the most challenging relationships that I've ever been in. I think that we can try and make our relationship work even through the life changes but sometimes it's hard. It's like being shut out and uncertain when you'll be let back in. It will take a lot of belief on both sides but I feel like there is a reason to keep going.
The next day I had to work. I love my job at the store but lately, life has started to become really busy so it's not always easy for me to be there. I love my customers and always enjoy absorbing new books and games but I know that one day, I'll have to let it go once I get a "real job."
During that evening I went to F's ___ birthday party which was awesome. I think it was fun because there weren't tons of people there but it was a good crowd. My favorite type of party. The lovely K was hosting the party (Glee) on an amazingly stormy night. It was one of those storms that is super warm and windy. I love storms like this because they always blow something new into the world. It's a time where Mother Nature helps push everything she's nurtured into the next stage. I felt like I was standing on board a pirate ship.
Sunday, I woke up early (eek gad) which was not easy after getting home late. I put away all of my Summer clothes in exchange for the Fall ones and got ready to study at Packard's with L & R. When we goth there, I had the best burger in the World. The Ultimate Beer Battered which is essentially a jalapeno popper burger. It still rests like a stone in my belly.
