3 hours it took me to mow the lawn this afternoon. Three hours! We have an electric one...so it's not very powerful, plus its been raining all week and then some, and the grass hadn't been mowed for 2 weeks; and it grows super fast; it was probably like 3 inches high! Man.....good workout to say the least!
Another big change in my life....I did originally move in with Andrew as a temporary thing... after the debacle with Carl; I wanted to live on my own....but then as I lived with Andrew...I liked it more and more...and never wanted to leave; but it wasn't the agreement; not that he would ever ask me to leave, but still....I didn't want to overstay. So Friday morning; I finally find that number of the manager of an apt that I had been looking at for a while; and called him. Turned out the original one I was looking at, and was taking time to be renovated, was still about 3 months from being completed; and dear heavens...was it small! He showed me a corner apt...and it was tiny and expensive...so I was a bit bummed; but then he said July 1st; the one next door would be vacated; and it was $150 less a month (definitely in my price range!) so we looked at it....and its still tiny tiny, but my bed (and not much else) fits in the bedroom, and the living room and tiny kitchen are enough for me....how much time does one really spend in their apt anyways? So....I talked with Andrew and told him....and I told him that either I wanted to stay living with him for more of a long term thing; or I need to take this apt; because its not going to get better than this.....hes away this weekend; and I'm thinking about things myself.....I'm half and half about things; I do want to live on my own; but I'm also a bit scared of being lonely and just not liking it....I feel as though I should live on my own....but I do like it here so very much; and boy will I miss having a backyard (which I'm currently sitting in)....
Met a boy last night....sort of; won't go anywhere this I know....but its still a step? I suppose it is.... I went out to an Irish pub last night with some friends, and they had an Irish band playing, and there I was dancing to "Galway Girl" by Steve Earle; the song from PS I love you; the one where Jerry is playing when he first meets Holly....haha....and over comes this boy; who is quite cute and we get to talking...hes from Germany; and boy does he have a heavy accent; not easy to understand in a quiet place; let alone a loud bar! We dance (actual dance....which was about the most fun I've had in a long long time....), and I left and we exchanged numbers....I noticed him talking to other girls also....so I'm not holding my breath...but who knows.... felt a little odd yes.... I am slowly beginning to look at guys again; but it's also tough because I am so busy, and just want to focus on my career; that I'm not entirely sure that I want a relationship....I do....but I don't know if I have time to give to it..... we shall see. If he calls I suppose I'll go out with him and see where it goes...
Other than that....not much else going on! Today I woke up late and found that Sushi had died during the night....(a little gross...his head was all bubbly.... )....so I went to the pet store and got two more...haha so now I have three....figured with their life rate in about a week; I'll have two.... *sigh..... so now I have Bacon, baba ganoush, and garbanzo bean.... I like naming my fish after random food apparently....
Finally feeling better also.... took only one cold pill yesterday; and not a one today! Glad to be feeling better; much better....
Hope you're all having a good day!
