Buffalo

I am in Buffalo, staying with good friends who make me feel so very welcome and taken care of. I am comfy and comfortable. The added bonus at Robbie's is Mouse, the sweetest dog in the world. I often fantasize about a dog but stop myself because of the small place I live in and the time I spend at work. Someday I will cave and give in. Sunday I got to see where my daughter works, in her gladiator kitchen as she calls it and I ate at her food truck on Old Falls Street. Yummy tacos. We took a walk over to the falls, and talked about how the draw and gravity of the water draws you in. I actually got light headed. Sunday we hung out most of the day and then wound up at Milk and Rahwa's for dinner, courtesy of Milk grillin ribs and chicken. A great day. I did smoke a bit with Milk but just a bit, and did not "binge" eat after. My sugar level was normal this morning. Did not ask for some to take with me or to buy and today I have not thought much about it at all. I was with LC Sunday because I went to the Ujima play. But again did not crave it or think about getting it. And the first time Milk offered it to me, I said nah I'm good. But then later after dinner I had a lil bit. So that is progress. I went swimming this morning at the BAC. And I have been eating healthy. No chips. It is easier to be healthy at Robbie's because she practices what I do, and all the food in the house is super healthy I'm good. It is rainy and cold today. Tonight I meet the Ambush crew that I work with on Friday.
I am so looking forward to working the event for Terence. A..I am happy that I am here to help my friend. and B I am so happy to be doing what I love so much. It was good to be at TheaterLoft for the Ujima show too...kind of that back where I belong, like the song says. Or maybe back where I have a sense of belonging.  Lorna gave me my old director's chair that has been in storage there for, well ten years All I could say over and over was omg. It felt like I was looking at a museum piece of my own life. So although ten years has gone by, there are still parts of me here in my home town, that people know and recognize. I am sure that will soon be over. But for this week, I will enjoy it. Every minute.
