Stress Down, Angst Up

Good morning!

I am in AWE of the beautiful summer days that we have been having around here recently. The temperature is perfect, the  skies are blue and clear, it’s breezy (not balmy, for once!). I feel so lucky and blessed to have this time of ALL times to sit back and enjoy my surroundings for once.

In the days immediately after my departure from my last job, I was SO psyched (<– who says that anymore…) to have some free time, but dudes. Holy. Cripes. I have been at my wits end these last few days!

Now, to be fair, I think a good part of the strife has come from a variety of bizarre medical things that have popped up here and there. (Seriously, it is the weirdest thing. I am usually a pretty (knock-on-wood) healthy girl, but it’s like the minute I left my job, my body decided to plague me with all of the things that it’s been holding back for the past decade during which I never. stopped. moving.) Last week, I nearly landed myself in the emergency room with a migraine unlike anything I had ever experienced. That whole night knocked me back for about two days. On top of that, I am getting (unnecessarily) frustrated about trying to purge, deep-clean, and organize our apartment. Ironically, I LOVE cleaning and organizing, but it can also be quite an undertaking.

 

Add to that two parts of “What Do I Want to be When I Grow Up?” and a dash of puppy training and you have a little bit of a mess. A joyfully under-scheduled, constantly ruminating, slightly broke, but actually pretty happy mess.

I am 100% confident that my little streak of bad luck will soon be over. I have a very exciting trip coming up with the Almost-Mister that I cannot wait for! I am also spending more time writing, reading, and am finally beginning to learn how my camera works! Thanks for our patience in the posting schedule. In no time flat I will be back to posting once a day, if not twice!

Thanks for reading!

Xoxo

Me!
