I went home to Albany for the weekend to take a little break from Buffalo and sleeping on a futon. I left my brother and his fiancé with the new puppy and drove 300 miles across the state with an iced coffee and a freshly burned Ingrid Michaelson CD.
I love driving and road trips. There is something so relaxing about just driving fast on an open road, with so much to look forward to. I love the time to myself to just think or belt music that no other human ears should be subjected to.
The weekend was just what I needed to lift my spirits and feel a dose of Albany-summer. I spent time with good friends, saw an excellent Italian film at the Spectrum, went to Grafton Lake to get sunburns and went shopping. With a trip to the diner and a night of Gilmore Girls the weekend was complete.
Being home was great but it makes me miss everyone that much more. I miss friends from home because this summer was supposed to be time spent with them and I miss friends from school, after being with them all year. I’ve been video-chatting with Lee Doran and Greg Turner tonight, as well as Alex Castillo (these are shameless shout-outs). I love what I’m doing this summer with the publishing company and spending time with Jon, Ellie, and the recent addition of Audrey, but I will be excited to go back to Albany in August and Boston in September.
So much to do and so many places to be. It’s not always easy floating between three cities.
