Tonight it hit me - the carpeting on my floor is really just cheap, fabric tiles about a foot and a half long on each side, placed side by side to make carpet. This made vaccuuming even more fun because I was then able to break up the vaccuuming into several squares and therefore vaccuumed every single open tile one by one instead of aimlessly running the vaccuum along the floor. Yeah, I can be OCD like that sometimes. Also, I like vaccuuming and cleaning and stuff. If my room is a mess, I can't function. This is a short text conversation I had with my bestie Sabrina a month or two ago, hope it's okay that I'm posting this, if not I'll remove (^^) I haven't deleted it off my phone yet because it made me giggle.
Sabrina: Dude, what is wrong with me. I just want to get married and be a glorified housewife! Lol, please tell me you understand!!
Me: Haha, OF COURSE I understand that! :D I want that too! Oh, I just remembered - I told Will that when I was back in Iowa and he said "hell no, you're getting a job and we're gonna be equal." What's not equal about keeping the house clean in return for not paying for anything!? DAMN THESE MODERN-MINDED MEN
Sabrina: HAHAHA, totally agree!! Why can't men nowadays just want to provide for us by having a job. I hate being equal, lol! Keeping a neat house is a job of its own!
(>____>);;; Ahem...so yes. God, I suppose I'm lazy. The two of us always used to happily talk about how we just wanted to be housewives and sit on our asses all day watching TV and shopping, when we were watching TV and going shopping. LOL~ ...d'awwww, I miss her (>___<); sabriiiina. let's go to BJ and try on dresses sometime after I get back, even if it has to wait a few months until I know exactly what's going on!!!
I'll be completely honest and admit I haven't really been well the past week, and even now I'm just doing my best to stay distracted from how much I miss Will. Yesterday I decided I needed to take back my life (it seems I've said that so many times here, when I think about it) from my depression. I'm normally a fairly positive and optimistic person, so I try to remember everything that I loved from before. I'm also taking happiness from the little things in life - for example, today I bought watermelon and that alone cheered me up. I wore a pair of Roxy shoes I bought in winter and wasn't able to wear until now - and they're totally comfortable! To make things better, I got a package from my mom today with allergy medicine and American snacks like Sun Chips and Hostess cakes. There's 60 pills in this box, which means I will have almost enough to make it through the rest of my stay here. I'll probably have days I forget to take it, so that works out too. Weird to think I'm only here for just over 70 more days.
