Thank you Ft. Collins

Today was my last full day in Fort Collins for awhile. Tonight is my last night in the place I've called home for the summer. It's been so amazing I'm grabbing my stuff and coming back to stay! It is glorious waking up with mountains daily, not having traffic and being able to make money here.

I started this journey (the summer of Jenn) because after everything went to shit I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do or where I wanted to be. The last two months have given me everything I've been searching for. I have friends that are like family (that I've known for over 15 years) and new friends that will be like family close by. I am sold!

I worked a little today and like every Tuesday I've ever worked anywhere (except for Freeport, IL for some reason) it was super slow. I came home and gathered the rest of the things going with me for the next leg of my journey and cleaned my spaces. There will be someone else staying here for the 90 days I'm gone so I wanted to make sure it was nice and clean for her. The lady of the house and I had some vodka drinks and the resident pre-teen made me a bracelet for this weekend.

Tomorrow I'm up early to hustle a bit more and then my night zero will be with my good friend from Chicago at the Mish for Jamestown Revival. He is the one who introduced me to the band and he's never seen them. So I get his Jamestown cherry and he gets my Mish cherry. Then 4 nights with the best band in the land and more friends and good times.

The current plan is to stay somewhere near the Garden of the Gods on Monday night. Maybe an early morning hike to see the sunrise and then I'll be in Albuquerque to visit with family before making my way back to Chicago. So many people I can't wait to hug.

Much love ❤️

Ready to Rock!

I cruised into Chicago last Thursday with pretty much no brakes. Went straight to my girls house and partied a little too hard with some of my favorite people and then woke up super hungover ready to deal with the car issues. It's been one problem after another with that car and finally yesterday one of my mechanic friends told me it was time to drive it off a cliff. So after a couple of days in my mom's basement (the irony wasn't lost on me) today I'm ready to go west with a new ride. So very thankful for all the help I've received this week. Tonight I'm headed to Stockton again to finally get some good loving and Thursday or Friday I will head to South Dakota. Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th Much love ❤️

Rage. Rest. Repeat.

Landed in Boston super late on Friday and took an uber to some friends. We partied until the Sun came up and didn't really rest. We were supposed to go to the Lotus show last night but it was 2 hours away and we recognized that after the night we had it wouldn't be wise to make that drive. So we went and hung out with more people and stayed up too late again. Finally got a good night's sleep. Got woken up to coffee in a really cool cup and now we're going to find breakfast and go hiking. I'm in Connecticut and it's beautiful. Can't wait to explore more. Tomorrow I'll be back exploring Boston and then I fly out super early on Tuesday morning. Much love ❤️

Sorry mom, I'm drunk

When I decided to start documenting my summer, I vowed to not do it while drinking. But here we are... I got into Chicago around 11am today. It was nice to make a bunch of money, it was definitely needed. I'm staying with my favorite Brit and met him at the bar across from his place around 5pm. We ate, drank and laughed entirely too much. Brisket tacos with goat cheese I asked them to please put on the Cubs game and was told that the Ricketts are making it very difficult for bars to show the games so I had to settle for all the Boston sports and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Red Sox were winning when I left, Celtics won and Vegas was up by one, incase you needed to know. The Brit and I laughed and laughed. My favorite things that came out of his mouth tonight were, "Jenn, you are irresistibly attracted to poor people" and "Keep making terrible decisions, I enjoy it" With friends like this... lol. He's been in a very long term relationsh

As safe as I can be
