The cure for all that ails you.

I'm sitting here, in the summer breeze, strawberry-grapefruit-rum-freeze near one hand, a few freshly-cut, fragrant roses perfuming my office. watching the trees sway and wondering why I didn't think of this before.

the cure for all that ailed me last summer.

quick recap of last summer, for those who weren't reading between the lines:

worst breakup ever.
weirdest circumstances to lose a friend to date.
dreading the end of my contract at work.
weight-loss-inducing heat wave.

if only I knew then what I knew now: the cure for a broken heart. or at least, the balm. . .

the tall, bony-slender, brilliant, beautiful, boys of the city.

I suppose I tried this a bit last summer, to a limited degree...got a few good friends out of the deal, despite what people tell me about how you can't make friends of former lovers....

but this summer, I'm immersing in the joys of boys, boys, boys.

no crying.

no sulking.

no moving house.

no migraines.

no vegetarian communes.

no losing so much weight your clothes hang off bones.

just happy, perky, non-stop playing.

with a bit of reading and travel thrown in.

and if that doesn't pan out as i like, I can always see if jack was serious about that job in LA he was bantering about. as I recall, he had an amazingly comfortable...er...couch...despite the fact of it being in shudder california...

but for now, boys. boy oh boy.
