Girl with the parking lot eyes.
Oh, transitionary states.
No fun at all.
For the last week and a half, I've been completely consumed with getting in better shape. I've been eating well, and hitting the gym almost every day. I weighed myself today, excited to see my progress, and alas. The needle has not moved a fraction. And so I continue, in the state of working to lose weight, but still not actually in the state of weight loss. I'll try again in the forever of another week.
I'm still afraid to finish unpacking, because I don't know how long I'll be here. On the other hand, it's starting to look like I'll be here longer than I thought, because I planned my vacation at the worst possible time, and I refuse to reschedule because heck, I haven't had a vacation ever.
I'm unsettled that I might be stuck here longer than I anticipated, but on the other hand, I'm not as disturbed as I could be. The more money I save, the better, in excess of first and last and damage deposit. Also, gives me more time to hunt down a roommate/roommates. And lastly, it's really not that bad. I'm getting used to the drive to Seattle, it's good to be surrounded by family, I have my own room again, and I have practically no expenses. It's a beautiful sort of thing.
The only huge thing bothering me right now is that I hardly ever see Teague. And the longer I stay, the longer it will be before I can see him on a regular schedule again. It's amazing, and frustrating the way our two schedules are mutually exclusive. We keep saying someday, next quarter, next year, and it never comes.
On a lighter note, I have been loving music lately. The drive to Seattle and back again is a huge opportunity to listen to all the CD's I buy and then never look at again. I'm not such a fan of the new-ish Pearl Jam CD, but I lovelovelove Neko Case. I discovered she is in the New Pornographers as well, so I think I'll buy a bumpershoot one day pass so I can go see her/the rest of the band in September. But mostly to see her. I am in love.
And, I just bought Blind Guardian tickets for Teague and myself. Oh, the excitement.
Also, I borrowed the first DVD of Arrested Development from Alexa, and practically made myself sick with laughter.
Music and clever television programs make me happy. The refusal of my body fat to move, and my indecision about moving does not. It kind of evens out though.
Tonight I'm going to Cinema on the Lawn with Alexa, and Teague, and some of Alexa's friends, and possibly other people from the store. Anyone else who desires to come is 100% welcome. They are playing Napoleon Dynamite, and it's freeeeeee, though with a suggested donation of $5. It starts at 9. And I am excited. Woo!
Kia.
