I am rejoicing in the fact that 11pm sounds like bedtime once again and I am no longer braving the wilds of the New York subway system at late hours of the night and tromping through Astoria in worn-down heels.

That being said, my trip was wonderful.

The combination of good friends, good music, good food and the energy of the city lightened my head and got my blood moving again. I'm revived and I am joyful.

I feel like myself, and that is a good feeling.
