So my trip to the Dominican Republic was pretty rad. I spent time with my family, and got to know my brothers better, which was really nice. I'm glad I went. I also visited some villages populated by Haitian refugees and Dominican families... I helped operate clinics (we set up in the schoolhouse) and fed old people and met children and some truly, truly amazing souls. The joy and love I encountered there is unrivaled by anything I've experienced anywhere...
Now I'm back in Calgary for a few days - then it's off to Vancouver - I'm moving back (hurrah!). I wasn't sure it was what I wanted but traveling alone and spending so much time with my mind helped me to learn that friends and family are what make places worth living in. I am a lucky, lucky, lucky girl; I have a wealth of amazing friends in Vancouver, and everyone else should come visit me, gosh darnit.
That said, I still want to live in Sydney one day.
I'm going to school in September, finally. Yes, I actually will! I promise! I'm registering for classes and everything, and I'm really excited. I'm getting my life in order... (and that means I have to pay my taxes too.)
This is me at Lavonne's house... I took pictures of her, too, but I got really nervous because she's such a great photographer...
I have so many big, big plans for this spring and summer. So many people to visit, so many projects to start, and of course a new home to live in and love! I got rid of most of my things before I left for my trip to New Zealand and Australia, which I sort of regret now... I had some neat stuff. Oh well; so it goes.
(The morning after.)
Speaking of regrets, today I listened to "A Plea From a Cat Named Virtue" by The Weakerthans and cried a little for Mosley, my lost kitty. I regret leaving him when I did. It was rash and now he is lost, without me. I hope that someday I see him again. My heart aches. He is a very, very special guy.
What have you lost which you wish you'd had the presence of mind to keep an eye out for, but which is now gone?

It's getting more and more likely I'll be in Canada as soon as the beginning of April. Eek!
