I’ve been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan I’m going home to my city by the bay Good night, California. I will miss you. See you in 4.5 months. It was great to see all you guys!

In 12 hours, I’ve gone through an entire roll of toilet paper (used as kleenex) to blow my nose with. I kept waking up last night to have to blow my nose.
