alright! so we moved to brooklyn. it's lovely. i keep forgetting that we're not "playing house", and that we are...doing house. our apartment is lovely, but i don't have internet access. we found a nice bagel/coffee place a couple blocks down on washington where there is free wifi. but i doubt i'll ever have time or motivation to lug my 'top down there and check my e-mail. we have no cable, so we've just been watching simpsons dvds. tonight i think we'll mix it up with a little law & order. i am at my parents house right now, while greg is at band practice. i figured out why my depression disappeared soon after i moved. before, i was stressed out about a whole lot of nothing. i'm still a big ball of stress, but at least now i have something to be worried about. things that are a challenge for me personally, but i know i can overcome. two weeks ago, i was stressed out about silly things. very silly things. and when i'm upset about something that isn't worthwhile, there's no way to fix it. because it's impossible to fix something that isn't broken. for instance, the second night we spent at our new place, the toilet broke. okay, no big deal. so we called maintenance and they called a technician to come fix it. okay, alright. then this guy tells us that we need a new toilet. by this time, the office we should call is closed, and we had to...use a toilet. so greg went with this guy to home depot and bought a new toilet. i mean, it went from the ceiling below us peeing blue urine water, to a nice new toilet. a good example of something to legitimately be stressed about. because it is fixed, now, and it is not on my mind anymore. overall, i am very happy. i'm a little scared about transferring full-time to one of the busiest starbucks in manhattan, and i feel like i'm going to vomit over it. i know my job well enough, and i am a great barista, it's just my comfort level. i'm quite comfortable in good ol' suburban east setauket, servin' up them lattes. i don't know how stressful it is going to be to have 3-hour-long rushes. oh well. all we need is furniture for the living space, and we're alright. so for those of you that read this, i'll probably only check my e-mail, myspace, et cetera, about once a week. wish me luck!
