    Did it Jenny. One more step forward. Did you enjoy the movie? That whole scene about what happened in prison was pretty funny yeah? "I was butt-f***** by a Filipino dude, OK!!! Solve your dilemma of what part of the world my ass traveled to?!?" Made me laugh anyways. I wish you were here. You would have peed your pants over that one.
     
    The rain has stopped, the clouds have broken and the suns just starting to give up its fight for the day. I wander slowly back to the cottage taking my time and watching people as they hurry in and out of shops. People don’t seem to know how to slow down. They’re all bustling towards their next errand or destination. I don't have worry about that. I have nothing to get home to. I could stay out all night long. I could stay in all day long. No one would care. It’s a liberating feeling really. I smile to myself as I turn left to the path leading to my cottage.
     
    I dry off one of the patio chairs and sit with a glass of wine staring out over the ocean lost in thought. The warm summer breeze picks up and hazel eyes assault my thoughts. Who is Colin and why am I so pulled to him? How ridiculous. Chances are slim I’ll run into him again. My fingers move over my palm where his hand clasped mine momentarily. I take a deep breath and push out of my chair. Maybe another glass of wine and making dinner will take my mind off of him.

    I finished my protein shake for dinner and it’s left me feeling less than satisfied. Even my workout and classes at the gym today did little to distract me. I wonder what she's doing right now. I can't get those green eyes, freckles and a simple name out of my head. It seems like everything has changed . She’s too old to be a college student, otherwise I might have walked around the local campus looking for her. I’ve never been so taken with someone just from exchanging hellos. I keep picturing her little button nose wrinkling up and her eyes going wide when our hands met. Whatever she felt scared her but I felt it too, like a tug. No, that’s not right, it was something more. She unguarded me, her smile took me in and hooked me. When I’d tried to explain it to Ben later he laughed and said I just needed to get laid. Maybe he’s right, but that doesn't explain the strange draw I feel to her, to find out more about her, to wrap my arms around her. I grab a granola bar and crash onto the couch hoping something good will be on TV to distract me tonight.
     
     
     
     
     
    DAY 3
     
     
    I definitely drank too much wine last night. I woke up this morning sore from sleeping on the couch and the TV was still on. I don't even remember what I was watching when I fell asleep, I just remember the wine tasting delicious. My mouth is dry and my stomach is rolling in protest. I tried drinking some water but only got one good chug down before I thought I might throw up. I gave up any sort of productive ideas for the day and have been lying in bed reading for the last five hours dozing in and out of sleep occasionally but haven't gotten in the really good nap that I think I need.
     
    At five I decide to finally roll out of bed and take a shower. I hope that will wake me up and make me feel better. By the time I finish in the bathroom I do feel more refreshed and awake but I’m also starving. I putz around the kitchen looking for something to make but am in serious need of hitting the grocery store. I really don't want to get dressed enough to eat out and I don't know any of the local delivery places so I throw on some yoga pants and a tee shirt and walk to the grocery store.
     
    I skip the cart and grab a basket, I can't buy more than I can carry home anyways. After picking up some staples like pasta, sauce, bread and tuna I head to the produce section. I need to eat more fruits and veggies. My diet has seriously been lacking in healthy foods lately. Plus I have a kitchen again. I can cook and enjoy whatever meals I
