delgahi i’m in rome!
—
i spent my first week in london luxuriating in my new commute (half an hour! reading time!) and going to a heap of events. poetry readings! theatre! crochet class! i hit some kind of hormones-meet-cabin-fever-meets-change-is-weird high on wednesday and spent the whole day in a terrible wreck of sadness. not anxious, which is new; just heavy and miserable and fucking sad, which i thought was maybe homesickness, but a call home made things worse by just being incredibly irritating (we’re really bad at having conversations; it’s embarrassing). i don’t know if it’s a heap of malcontent but i did not dig it at all.

thursday was a heap of fun! there was a different cast this time - fewer understudies; more primary cast - and we were in the dress circle, which was a better view than the last time. the dude playing king george is bloody funny, in a way that i really wasn’t expecting, and the guy playing hamilton is tall af. taking esther was a trip too; i love other people’s excitement for the show.
afterwards we went to the real greek in marylebone. damn, the food there is so good!

macbeth was honestly kind of a mess, and it started snowing that morning which threw the rest of our plans into a tailspin. ruthy headed home earlier than anticipated, and my sister and i ended up taking the tube to heathrow to then take a shuttle to our hotel for the night.
getting up at 4am was a pain, especially when the snow delayed our bus, but it sounds like we were lucky to get on a flight at all, and once we were at t5, it was a breeze.
rome so far has been vast and rainy. tomorrow we’re going to the capitoline museum to see some goddamn sculptures and i’m already losing my mind over it.

i signed out of slack on my phone but forgot to do it on the ipad and accidentally looked through work messages. oops. i’ve sorted that out now. no working on vacation! it’s bullshit, and i am against it. leave is leave, and i’m on it.
