Day 23 at the Kushi Institute

Today I had to work breakfast and lunch in a row, but my ex-sister-in-law came to visit and I went with to spend some time with her and to see her house.  It was my first time out of the Kushi Institute since I got here 3 weeks ago.  I wa excited to see her because I hadn't seen her in over 5 years and I didn't know that she was only an hour away.  The drive to Conneticut was beautiful with the mountains and the river running through.  We stopped at a chicken farm that has existed in the area for over 100 years.  The chickens are free range.  They also had a big convenience store where you could get any kind of chicken item you wanted plus a lot of other items.  At the beginning I thought I might go crazy buying junk but then it passes and you realize that is dumb.  We then went on to her house and hung out and made dinner.  We caught up on all the news and just had a great time being together.  She made a lovely dinner of striped bass, ceasar salad without the croutons, and steamed spinach, portobello mushrooms and tomatoes.  I enjoyed my little escape, but I was glad to get back and finish up my last week.
