The (mis)adventures of Super-S

In my past blogging life, you just couldn’t shut me up. I don’t know why I have such a hard time posting this time around. The difficulty of it would suggest that maybe I should just stop trying, but there’s something I like about knowing that there’s always a place where I can go to bore people with the absolutely uninteresting details of my life.

Here’s what I’ve been up to since the last post: I rode a proper European ferry for the first time and loved it. I’ve only ever ridden the ferry in New York and that’s more like a barge. This? This was like a huge cruise ship. A cruise ship that took me to Scotland, where I made my way to Edinburgh and spent a fabulous four days with Sambagirl. I love her. I love her life. I love Edinburgh.

I have also started up a new life regimen. No more wasting time (ha!). No more eating junk (less, ha, but still ha!). More regular exercise. (I have actually been really good about this so far.) I chart all my “progress” on excel sheets. I am becoming a regular nerd. It is totally new for me, and it is difficult but it’s been a good experience too.

On the relationship front: SuperM and I are most likely going to be living on separate continents come the end of August, and finding out about that initially made for some rocky days. But lately – and I don’t know if it’s because the weather has been gorgeous and the sun has been shining a lot more and he is such a golden boy anyway that when the sun shines on him in a certain light I start to think I’m in a movie – but, man, lately I am so in love with him. And I am so grateful to have someone in my life who will call me up just five minutes after he’s left my place to yell down the line, “Enty gamila!” (Arabic for: You are beautiful) because he knows that I’ve been feeling a little bummed about myself. I am happy to have someone lay his warm, sleeping head on my lap as I read about the intricacies of the European Convention in an effort to “log enough work hours” for the day. And come August, we’ll see what happens.

Till then I’m just trying to make the most of what I have.
