Homeward Bound!

 Well, I'm doing it.  Six years after my last trip, I'm on my way back to Spain.  It's only for two weeks because I have to work like a normal adult (in the USA...surely if I worked elsewhere I could get a decent amount of time off, but that's neither here nor there at this point...).  Anyway, I'm super excited for obvious reasons.  Because it's been six long years and it's still rather strange that it's already been six years, dammit!  I'll be spending those two weeks in Getxo with my Spanish BFF, and she's already about as excited about it as I am.

She even invited me to the Bruce Springsteen concert in Donosti in May, forgetting that I was going to be there in June, not in May.  It's okay though.  She knows I would have gone with her, even if live shows aren't really my thing, and even though she's going with her parents and her uncle.  It's all good.

Now I just need to find how else I'm going to spend my time, as she's going to be working during the week so I'll only be able to see her late at night and on weekends.  Maybe.  I did get a message from one of our old family friends from Sevilla, and we'll see if I can make it down there for a few days.  A Barcelona trip doesn't look like it's in the cards for me this time due to time restraints, but I'm trying really hard not to complain about it, because I'm going to see my best friend again!  The one I haven't seen in six years but whom I've known since I was thirteen.  Which was well over half my life ago.

Anyway.  I have a little over three months to keep planning this out.  So we'll see how everything goes.  This is definitely a well-earned and I'll even say well-deserved vacation.  Considering everything I've been through in the past year.  What I'm still going through.

Depression and anxiety suck, guys.  Remember that.
