This last week

I have decided that I don't blog enough, and that I should try to blog more often. Usually when I do blog they're just philsophical quips from deep inside my mind, so this will be a summary of my week, as well as my comments.

I moved back to Windsor a week early this year. I chose to do this for many reasons. It was easier on my parents, it was easier for me to get settled in, room unpacked and everything set up. I needed time off, time to myself to rest and regroup. I knew that I could not get this in Welland, especially working 40+ hours a week. If I left work early, but stayed at home, I would feel guilty for not working that extra time. It turned out to be a great decision. I got the advantage of a quiet house, tv time on the couch, and getting to hang out with people that I would never have met otherwise. My room is spotless and completely unpacked, I am all settled in, Meghan was here last weekend, and I also get to see Sarah while she comes to pick up her boyfriend. This kicks ass, I'm happy I get to see her, and I got to just chill with them, both of them at the same time. We shopped, we chatted, we ate, we saw Beerfest which was wonderful, and we got to be ourselves. I am thankful for moments like that, where I can be myself and still be loved.

I made lunch for them, which I am proud of, because I had everything ready last night, and I made enough food to feed a small army. It worked out well, and I have plenty of leftovers for this week.

I took myself shopping and decorated my room, which looks great. The best it's looked in three years! I think I am finally growing up, and gaining the maturity that I need. I'm happy with where I am, and happy with where I'm going.

Here's to the nights I feel alive and the next year!

Wonderful Weekend

I have had yet another weekend that makes me thankful to be alive, and thankful to be me. It's one of those times where I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's in the world, and nothing else would make me happy. It was great just to hang out and go out dancing again, after not doing that for so long. I don't want to go home, I have no real desire to see anyone there. As bad as that sounds, and I do feel bad for even typing this, it's how I feel and I can't ignore it anymore. Thankfully I'll be in Windsor for the next 10 months, even though some will only be there for 8, some will still be there which will be wonderful. I lead completely opposite lives in my different cities.

All for now, to be continued later.
