Made it

I haven't posted for awhile because my interwebs got disconnected a few days before I left for Spain. Speaking of Spain, I'm here now. Getting here was stressful, I'm not going to lie. The short layovers and just the sheer size and layout of the Madrid airport really threw me for a loop. I'm missing John and Jupiter but trying to remind myself I'm lucky to have love at home instead of just dwelling on the fact that I'm far away now. In a few days, I believe it will be fine. I will have a roommate tomorrow; tonight I'm alone. My first real act in the apartment was to take a bath. Epic fail. The water pressure is super high, and since the shower runs through one of those nursing home style hoses, it got loose, fell to the ground, and shot water up my nose. That's why I gave up and just filled the tub. But the spigot for the tub shot out orange water, even after I let it run for several minutes, so I just held onto the hose thing and filled up that way. I'm really tired and don't feel like recounting every detail of a stressful trip. The point is, it was rough, I did it, I'm here. I hiked to the market and bought an ethernet cord, and now I have interwebs. It's amazing how much you can suddenly miss things like a phone and internet. After multiple failed attempts at calling home, all I wanted was internet and skype. Who knew it would be so difficult to get it? Anyway, I should go to bed. After being awake for somewhere between 36 and 48 hours, I'm too exhausted to clean just now. Want to have things straightened up when my roommate gets here tomorrow. Sigh, I just feel so much better having John closeby with Skype and Facebook. We all get a little sucked into technology sometimes, but it's making my life easier right now.
