*stressed*

Boom.

Life comes at you fast . 

My future has just become very unclear. I hope this doesn't cost me someone that I care about. I'm feeling a little pessimistic. 

Just need to let it perk, I've been told.

Let it perk...

I heart Kitty!

So glad my kitty is home! AND that I'm home.
Had the best sleep last night after my flight and my weekend in Calgary.

Last year I had an obsession with Imagine Dragons.
So far this summer, I am most obsessed with Fitz and the Tantrums. They are super fun and perfect driving music. I can't wait to see them this summer.

Guess I should get back to work so I can pay for my fun adventures this summer...

Calgary.

Two days is good for me.

Ready to go home to my lovely loft and fluffy kitty. 

Chicago.

Is.

Awesome.

That is all.

Bedtime. 

Wahoo!

It is always such a nice feeling when you waltz out of work knowing that you don't have to be there for a while. 

Today I almost wanted to skip. 

Leaving on a plane tomorrow for a short vacay. Ready to leave my awesome loft and kitty and relax somewhere different. 

 

Only 2 weeks until my double vacay, and I'll be out of here for 2 weeks. Big tings happening! Tings are changing in ways, but also some tings are back to normal. 

Hoping to sleep. Early start tomorrow. 

I wonder if it's strange that I talk to my bfs parents more than my entire family put together. Home is where the heart is. 

Huh...

Then... Today happened. 

A little "wtf" is going on right now. Not sure how I feel about what just happened. Not sure if I can work around it or not. Definitely a little confused, hurt and betrayed. 

Power through. Maybe not the happy ending I thought. 

On a Whim.

I've been sick for the last few days, which really put a damper on my jogging schedule. However, I float along on a cloud anyways so it doesn't really matter. 

People have told me that things always just work out for me, mostly because I don't take no for an answer. But to validate my point I'll use the example of my phone. I dropped it in the toilet last week, thinking that it was toast. Buttons weren't working and couldn't make any calls. However, after a few days of just being "whatever" about it, my phone magically started working properly, and maybe even more efficiently than before the toilet incident. I'm content with that. 

On a whim, I decided to go on a holiday. I don't have a ton of money, but hey, I'm a believer in spending the money you make on things you love. My life is going to become more complete in 3 weeks, which isn't a very long time at all. But for someone with no patience and someone that has been waiting for months and months for this moment, it feels like an eternity. The answer to this? A holiday smack dab in the middle! So excited.

I may be broke, but at least I'm happy. 

Spontaneity is one of the only ways to live life to its fullest. 

Bliss.

I've been looking at the screen for a while, with so many things to say but not sure where to start. 

I feel like I'm floating on a cloud sometimes, skipping down the street and singing "la la la" in my head. Life is too perfect to put into words. I may not have much money in the bank, but the fact that I've taken off more vacation just in 2014 than most people in 3 years, I can't really be upset. I truly have been working to live my life fully, and working less hours than anyone I know. Some may think I don't take my life seriously, but in reality, I take my life more seriously than most because I live. I have my stressful days, once in a while, but generally I float along in my little world finding it hard to relate to people because I'm happier than them. 

I have my perfect loft, my kitty for company, a job I don't hate, and the ability to vacation all the time. To top it off, I have the blessing of loving someone unconditionally and having that love returned, plus more.

This probably comes off as conceded, but I don't think there is anything wrong with admitting happiness. Bliss. People take it the wrong way because they are envious and not sure how to get to this level. 

I realize that this type of happiness doesn't always last, so I'm making note of it. Maybe to reflect and motivate me later. However, it's spring and soon will be summer. Last year was one for the record books, and I have hopes that this year will be, at least, on par. 

Less than five weeks and I'll have another two weeks of vacation. Then after that, every weekend will be an adventure. 

Who knows what will happen over the next six months, but I am ready for all the shenanigans that will entail.  

Back to the Grind.

Got home last night to my life seemingly falling apart. Guess that's what happens when you ditch your life for 3 weeks. However, everything is working itself out again. 

Moving must be one of the most intense stresses in ones life. It's so draining. There is a constant to-do list : days leading up to, including day of, and days after the move in. What a pain. Luckily I am downsizing so I'm able to get rid of most stuff rather than moving it. 

I'm purging most of my belongings that I've been holding onto for .. Whatever that reason. 

Today is living room, dining room, second bedroom and bathroom day

Tomorrow will be conquering my room

Thursday will be kitchen 

Friday I move!! 

All progress is good progress. 

10 days until my love comes to visit! 

Just need to stay positive. Moving in a new and different direction. Almost spring time. Life can't be all bad. 

Get my kitty back tonight!!! Ahhh can wait to smush her perfect little face. Today is her 5th birthday. It all works out :)

Homesick.

You win some , you lose some .

Feeling a little homesick today. 

Missing my kitty. 

Counting Down.

Oh nelly, only 8 days until my 3 week vacation. I never thought I would be so excited for a chai latte in my life. However, after a trip to Vermont and endless cafés in Toronto and Montreal, I still have not found its equal. It's been months of research, and all ending with disappointing results. 

Only a few more days!! 

Definitely looking forward to another vacation. 

5 days left of work. Counting it down...

I think this year is going to be a good one. Fingers crossed, knock on wood, no jinxes. ❤️🇺🇸

I applied for a new job this week, and this is the support I get from the best boyfriend ever. 

Is this for real? How did I ever get so lucky? 

Oh god, barf.

Subtitles.

You know you've been watching too many British television shows when the voice inside your head has an accent. 

Great shows though.

Got the apartment!! The loft is mine!! Moving in March. 

But before that, I have another holiday. 

18 days until I have 22 days off.

Life is actually wonderful. 

Grinning ear to ear 😀.

Finally back at home after a wonderful winter holiday. Things are moving forward and I like it.

It's a time to move on from the familiar, so I've decided to move closer to downtown. Signing the papers this week. A little nervous but ready to do something different. Plus, who gets the opportunity to live in a loft in high park? I would be an idiot to pass that up.

I've been so happy over the last few months, and I hope it continues. 

Life is on my side. 

I'm so lucky and so grateful for what I have ❤️.

I wonder what will happen next!

2014.

New Years.

Montreal. 

Going to be interesting. 

I love holidays. 

Plus, I'm a natural skier. Doesn't hurt that my boyfriend was on the US ski team. 

Christmas.

Arguably the worst day of the year past the age of 12.

Round 2.

This is a little déjà vu.

Without power... Again. Just like the summer, but this time it's cold. 

Up to 3 days? 

May be an interesting Christmas. 

One more day of work then holidays!!

Happy as a clam. 

❤️

Content.

Zeds dead or Tommy Trash tomorrow.

Decisions, decisions.

Charley.

So tonight I had the worst muscle spasm (charley horse) in my thigh I've ever had. It was frustratingly painful and I sat on the floor for an hour. 

Luckily I have a good friend who brought me pizza, wine, muscle relaxants and a heating pack and now I'm feeling pretty damn good. 

I have a feeling I'm going to sleep well tonight. I also get to sleep in tomorrow which is always an added bonus. 

3. 

Getting close!

Friday the 13th... Anything can happen. 

Boom.

Sons of Anarchy.

Epic.

Blew my mind...

Figuratively and literally? Ha.
