Catching up on my slacking when it comes to writing. It doesn't mean I haven't been enjoying life, just trying to be in the moment with those special events.
I have found happiness in so much lately. The other day I was very appreciative on my way in to work. I had a great cup of coffee which the taste reminded me of a friend. A song by the Shins came on that made me smile, and the cool crisp Fall morning made me happy.
My only problem lately is remembering to take my medication. However, being away from the stresses that were bringing me down has made a huge difference. I obviously know that I will not always be this lucky, but for the time being, I really appreciate it.
In the meantime, I'm trying to make myself get up more and be healthier. Living back at home, it's really easy to eat all the sweets the family buys for the kids. I spent a good chunk of time yesterday prepping some meals for the week. That's something I haven't done in quite a while, so it felt really good.
In other news, my friend Megan and I are looking into options to get out of the country. For nearly a decade we've talked about taking a dream vacation to England/Scotland/Ireland. It's always been difficult to do though when you are moving around and paying a shit ton in rent to be in a city you like, doing a job you love that pays not a lot. This time we are getting serious. I know I have a lot of debt to pay off, but right now seems like an ideal time to do it as I currently have no rent to pay. So fingers crossed on this working out. I want to see Stone Henge, Big Ben, the TARDIS! It'd just be great to do something big for myself, especially with one of my best and oldest friends.
