Recovery Part 2 - The Cape

I'm back at the cape. It was fantastic having mom and dad take care of me for the last month, but it also feels very good to be well enough to be on my own. Though only sort of on my own since Jim and family are at the house. The diet that mom and I have so diligently followed for the last 2 weeks crashed and burned last night. There is nothing even phase 2 compatible much less for the last 2 days of phase 1. But there is also no room in the kitchen for me to go shopping. We had pizza for dinner. I will start again on Monday.

So today I went to the post office and then stopped at the cafe for brunch. I haven't been here in at least 6 weeks, but they brought me tea rather than coffee and felt bad when they didn't remember how I prefer my eggs. I said, "It's ok, I haven't been home in a while." And after I said it I thought, oh... well close enough.

I will spend most of August here, though I'm not allowed to do anything like bike or kayak before the 15th. So it will be a quieter time than usual. That's probably good though. And at the end of the month I'll be able to be a bit more busy. Mom and Dad are coming out for the end of August; I wonder if I can talk Dad into kayaking with me.

The Woods Hole Film Festival starts tonight. I'll be leaving for it in a few minutes and the rest of the blog posts for this week will likely be me being all giddy about what's going on. At first I thought I would skip tonight because Linda doesn't show up until tomorrow and it's more fun with a partner in crime. Then I discovered that Debbie (my favorite teacher at BU) wrote a script for a short that is screening tonight. So I am going to go for that and then possibly hang out for the opening party. We'll see how tired I am. Most of this week is going to be based on how tired I am. And the opening party is a big, noisy affair that isn't really my best venue for talking to people and networking. On the other hand, I'll be there, I might as well stay for it. We'll see.
