on my own

Tolga has been gone all week. He went to Istanbul (between the Black Sea and the SEa of Marmara), then Bursa (just south and across the Sea of Marmara), and now he is in Kayseri (southeast of Ankara, just below the "e" in "Turkey").

I went and saw a movie with some American friends last night. I laughed so hard I cried . . . which was a good feeling.

I kept myself busy today with laundry and cleaning, went out for coffee with a friend, shopped on Tuneli and bought some new contacts, and walked home - uphill the whole way. (I was breathing kind of hard). I haven't really filled a day before in Turkey with domestic errands by myself. It sure wasn't boring.
