who manages to always, ALWAYS have a mishap.
Smooth Sailing- i breeze through the ticket counter thanks to my muscleman. That's boyfriend in case you didn't catch on. Grabbed a cup of coffee, said the suppressed tearful goodbye, breezed though airport security (although, this is Africa. I'm not sure if that really is a good thing.. what else is new) saw my terminal was A1. I went and sat and waited- then waited. Boarding time was 7:30.
I glance at my phone, it's 7:28...hmmm not too much going on down here, looked at my gate. A1. Seemed to be in the right place, then i start seeing attendants and not in the correct airline colors. 7:35, I get up and decided to ask an attendant once i hear jabbering from other people sitting next to me about Munich. I looked confused, the attendant looked confused. Finally I was told I needed to be at A11 which is all the way down on the opposite side of the airport. Well shit.
I call the boyfriend running down and around screaming I've been at the wrong gate for the last 40 minutes. As if i'm already drawing enough attention to myself, i realize my boots give the appearance that there is a galloping horse in the airport. I hang up the phone and arrive at A11. It's desolate, NOONE is there. No signs saying anything. Nothing. Zilch. Nada.
I run and ask someone. they have no clue. Run into a lounge where a woman tells me my gate is A30. Just go back the way you came, take a right at the escalator and down there ramp. Say what, I have no idea waht you're talking about.
"Well you better run, because boarding started 20 minutes ago..."
Frantically running and finally finding an escalator hidden in a secret corner. Sweating. Out of Breath. I made my flight and 30 minutes later another group of people rush onto the plane.
I ran for this ?

a list
Mainly because I can't seem to focus my brain on one single subject at the moment, I'm going to make a list. Then you will semi-understand that I think I am going insane,
Note to self, write this down. Map out + brand your blog future.
side note: create another new blog that fits the purpose to write freely and creatively.
To visit the United States or not?
A prayer: Jesus clear my mind. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to dream or not dream in my slumber but just give me clear focus that isn't hazy from irrational notions of fear and paranoia.
Maybe I should take a technology fast for a bit. Or maybe it should just be a pinterest fast. I miss the days of creating without there being a shadow of someone else being exactly like you. Or someone saying, Oh yeah I say that on pinterest.
To move or not to move?
Is thinking about buying a house even a good idea.
I miss having a 9-5 job. I hated having a 9-5 job. In general, I miss having a job.
It would be really awesome to have a house that's community based and Jesus-centered. Plus, have a community garden and some chickens.
Note to self: Read up on Pinterest how to garden.
Are my thoughts normal?
I'd love to photograph people more. I'm afraid of people.
Maybe, I should learn how to drive again. Meh, another day.
I miss sandy toes and the ocean's waves.
I should make a happy list.
I wish I created more.
I just forgot my next thought.
thinking
still thinking
it's gone
Maybe I should go work out.
No, I'll let the french toast I just finished settle.
I wish Jayde was here.
His job sucks.
Maybe I should consider grad school again...
The list actually continues but writing down all my thoughts is kind of exhausting.
Am I having a nervous breakdown?
