Grinding gears

[burado]

I feel I'm losing myself here, in Toronto. It's tricky to live an unsettled life with no proper home, but it's much harder because I rarely stop. I'm running to class, to the train, to the post office, to the library. I've got to get this thing done so I can get to the next one. Stopping is so important.

Congratulations on stopping. I did that myself just this weekend. (Turned down invitations to two parties to do it. It was glorious, and man did I ever need it).

Commiserations on the Toronto lifestyle. That's one of the reasons I never felt comfortable there (even during short stays). You've put into words a good portion of the unease that I felt.

Interestingly, one of the things that helped me get back to me after a frantic couple of weeks was reading. I know that you read a ridiculous amount for that degree you are working on, but I picked up two books and read them both as a guilty pleasure. It didn't do a whole lot for my sleep patters last week, but it was fantastic for my mental state.

Hope your stop time was good, and best of luck surviving the hustle and bustle.

All the best,
