Better

Hello again!

Since my last weird post, I'm feeling much better. On Tuesday I went out to dinner with 2 other au pairs and it was really nice! We're meant to be going to see a movie tonight as well! I like getting to leave the house haha.

On Monday when I went out for my walk, I went via Good Karma. I was looking forward to trying a 'Cinderella' but (shock, horror) they've changed to their Spring Menu! So I am looking forward to trying a whole range of new drinks! There's the Buttercup latte and the Dandy Lion and the Spring Fling and my gosh all the names are so cute! I walked into the city in a completely new way, so I got to see a whole bunch of new things, which was fun. I ended up having lunch at Shake Shack, an American chain of burger restaurants. The Cheeseburger and Fries were average (sidenote: why do people put cheese on burgers? IT DOESN'T BELONG THERE), but the Shake (or frozen custard) was made of magic. After Shake Shack I wandered to my bank, and I have to say something I never thought I'd say - I love my bank. Everytime I go in, there are at least 3 people I recognise behind the counter. Last time I went in my favourite teller exclaimed that she hadn't seen me for 2 weeks! And asked how I was. This time I had a new teller, but she was super lovely, asked about my accent (which she correctly identified as Australian, not British!) and was generally really friendly and helpful! 

Unfortunately this walk meant that my blister doubled in size, so since then I've been avoiding walking as much as possible! (Which basically means I've had an excuse to stay in bed & watch The Good Wife for 3 days in a row... shhh). Today I went grocery shopping, which was pretty fun! Leaning on the trolley helped me avoid walking on my blister haha! 

So this is just an update to say that things are going a little better. I'm still not the social butterfly queen of Philadelphia, but I'm feeling happier. 

Lots of Love,

Jess
