Crush

It's official. My crushless period is over. Short lived. I didn't want to part with it, but you can't plan life.

Crushing, crushing, crushing....

health kick..

I am seriously starting a full on health kick come Monday. And no, I'm not trying to put it off by choosing Monday, it's just realistic. I can't start a health kick prior to a massive house party, can I?

So, come Monday- daily exercise (which I have been doing, but it's going up a notch), healthy food and I'll start to feel great again! Oh, oh, oh!!! And- I'm going to give up caffeine again!! Been drinking way tooooooo much and I think it may be the main thing affecting my sleeping pattern.

And, tragically- I think it's time to cut back on the booze a little bit!! Not cut it out, not hold back, but maybe save it for events! This will also help in the 'saving money' process.

That is all. I will update my progress.

This week is awesome

Finally found out where I am teaching in September- bit scared. The school is so elite.. Not sure it will fit with my usual teaching style, but looking forward how this can shape me as a teacher!!

Op shop had the 'fill a bag for $2 sale'!

Trial Kennedy played a rad set last night- and once again, hung out for beers- they are seriously too nice.

Bought some kick arse artwork.

Found $20 in my car.

Added Nepal to my Asia trip.

The weather is warmer. :-)

Scored a second job!! Not that I should work any more than I am- but it means more money, means more travel- and opens more options. :-)

AVID tutorials begin. I'll be working with a Year 9 AVID class- can put it all into practice.

House is more settled.

House warming is Saturday- my closest friends and favourite people are all coming (the ones who are in OZ)!!

Found out teaching in the UK is most likely going to happen.

All this= Happy Meegz :-)

*sigh*

You don't tell someone in a standard, mediocre conversation that you are getting close with their ex...

Pretty simple, really??

I thought so anyway.

Always look on the bright side of life...

In better news. The op shop was having a sale today. Fill a bag for $2. I love my new reversible jacket. It makes me feel Icelandic. :-)

MONDAY, MONDAY, MONDAY

EVERYTHING IS GETTING TO ME TODAY!!

I have been soooo chilled despite a number of things going wrong- and now, they have all just got the better of me!

Leaking washing machine, No vacuum???, blown light bulbs.. All small and trivial- I know!

But then house warming this weekend- where's this BBQ? Lights? Music? And all these jokes about house trashing- starting to worry!

Bond, rent, bills...

Empty house every night..

Teaching away for three weeks- BUT WHERE?????

Money, working toooooo many hours for my work load!

FUCK. Just let me get on top of everything and I will be back to my usual, smiling self!! I hope!

Why not?

I surround myself with friends who, instead of asking, "Why?" are quick to say. "Why not?" That attitude is contagious.

6 months later..

It's been 6 months without him now and wow has that been a lot of time to reflect, focus and appreciate everything!

It is amazing that we let each other go so easily, not because we didn't care about each other... But, because we cared about each other enough to know it was the right thing to do.

Of course I still miss him, but life is good and mostly, everything is how it should be.

LISTOGRAPHY

While in the States, I bought a book called Listography. It’s set up to be similar to a journal, but in the simple form of lists.

I thought it might be fun to include lists in my blog. So I chose a random page to include here.

LIST THINGS YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD DO IF MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE (wow, big topic- so here’s three ideas):

1. TRAVEL THE WHOLE WORLD

2. Sky dive.

3. Volunteer in a 3rd world country

This is a list that will take a lot of thought… Everyone should add their own!!

The place I can't get out of my head...

If you don’t have a dream… How can you have a dream come true?
