Sam is on a plane right now flying through the sky headed  home. im sad because i miss him already, and i wish he could have stayed for longer and traveled more. But i'm so glad he got to come and saw so much while he was here, AND that i got to be the catalyst for his first trip abroad...i got Eleena to go to south america by herself too for 1.5 months... apparently if you want to convince someone to do something i'm your woman. i catalyze. that would sound good on a business card...

um, but besides missing Sam, i'm mostly ex.haus.ted. had a busy day yesterday running around and preparing for the "birthday party" which i later just dubbed Sam's goodbye party (because its been already a month since me and Elena's birthday and i wasnt in the birthday mood last night, i was already 1 month old by now, 24 years ago!) but ya was feeling kind of mellow last night and the cravats and killer heels theme wasnt what i was vibing...tampoco yelling over blaring music and small talking in spanish about how someone lost weight or works at a chocolaterie. so i kept on disappearing for long amounts of time, because i'd quarantine Katy, or Sam or Carolina and have more meaningful conversations with them that would require a degree of privacy or just not a 5000000 decibel "background" noise level...

im super tired because the party went on till 6 am... true to spanish form. and true to Shayan form: i fell asleep at 3 am. in my bed. but Sam and Carolina were in my room hanging out and people were raging just a meter outside my door so... really, didn't sleep till everyone was gone and then i received 4 drunken calls from a friend between 6 am and 8 am and then I woke up at 8 am to take Sam to the airport. and I just got home. i'm about to re-sleep right now.

oh but before i go, yesterdays workout was SUPER. I finally found the light weights at my gym and i went to TOWN and basically re-created the body sculpting class i took once or twice back in college. I LOVED that class i just loved how it toned everything and it makes your body so much harder and fit. and you feel so much stronger (mind you the heaviest weight i'm lifting are like 6 lb weights...i think thats like 2.5 kilos) BUT STILL its so much fun and i miss that class and taking it with AMY...we had so much fun togethaaa... and i finally got to work out my upper body which felt really good. but i think i may have gotten too excited cuz now, i cant navigate stairs...or use my arms for things. im in a significant amount of pain when i move but i kinda like it. ill lay low today and then go again tomorrow!

im hungry.
