It's been a really shitty two weeks, I think things are starting to look a little more shiny and good again, we'll see.
Some random cryptic updates (my nearest and dearest will know what I mean)
1. I have a new no-nonsense, tell it like it is, tough love lady in my life. It's hard hearing what she has to say sometimes but I know it'll be good in the long run.
2. He moved to Toronto, dates have been scheduled. I need to go shopping for an outfit and some serious girl-talk with close friends.
3. I have rediscovered my adolation of the gin martini with a twist. It's refreshing and tasty and helps fight off scurvy.
4. I am determined to purchase a credenza/sideboard in the next few weeks and am well aware of how gay that sounds. It will sound gayer when I mention that I am also looking for a fun decorative bowl/plate thing to put on top of it for my keys and cell. In other decorating news I am also on the lookout for a comfy reading armchair, I am trying to resist IKEA but my willpower is slowly cracking as I look at my cash flow and my desire to decorate. (I tend to nest when I feel scary and damaged, I think it's because I feel that if my home is a nice and warm place then I can't be that scary and damaged).
5. I am determined to teach myself to enjoy cooking. I still hate it.
I am actually really looking forward to getting back to classes and teaching again. I missed teaching more than I thought, it helped to provide structure in my day and gave me a routine. I am pumped for my new TA gig as it includes an office (well a desk in a shared office, but that counts right?) It'll be nice to be able to leave stuff in my office and not have to lug everything back and forth from campus like a gypsy (did I ever mention I was once cursed by a gypsy? true story). I think I'm going to try and head to campus at least three times a week, isolating myself in my apartment is making me go a little crazy.
I ripped this off of Joelle at Tenth Muse (I am so excited that she started blogging again!)
