It's 11:10 PM on Sunday night - the last night of the Thanksgiving weekend and I'm hunkering down in the Starbucks on Nassau Street in Princeton. In my caffeine induced state I'm procrastinating on going through my work emails while Ricky studies. I'm wiped-out. This mono thing still has it's claws in me - and certainly my flitting around the East Coast this holiday has not helped. I've been averaging 10 hours of sleep, even while on holiday and I'm still out of it. Sleeping late up here and then home tomorrow night. Caffeine is my God right now. I'm so freaken tired yet amusingly awake from two triple grande lattes (six espresso over-priced yet addictive shots to the uninitiated).
The weekend of meeting the family went especially well. Northern Vermont is beautiful - beyond my expectations. We rented a car at Newark and Hertz upgraded me to a Range Rover which has been fun. Ricky's family (Uncle(s)/Aunt(s) and Parents) live in and amongst some of the prettiest environs I can imagine. Add to that their progressive politics and you can imagine how unique an experience this is/was for me. Strange to be so accepted and welcomed by a boyfriend's parents and extended family. With no apparent preconceptions either. His dad and I watched football, basketball, talked hunting and cars while another moment may have found me playing cards with his Grandmother and Aunts (no pussy games; Poker, for cash).
Sort of crashing out now so I'll add more to my journal later.
Later.
