Sometimes Things Just Happen

I've been contemplating this post.
But first of all, may I suggest listening to "Ophelia" by The Lumineers while you read this post? I am so freaking in love with this song.
While I was taking the ferry to work I wrote it out in my notebook I always bring.

I haven't posted in about a week and I have my reasons.

1. I didn't want to post anything lame but guess what? Life happens.

2. I've been feeling off.  I've been fatigued, moody, no libido (TMI?), and it's just been weird.  Plus I've been eating pretty healthy this year and have been gaining weight, I now weigh the most I've ever weighed.  Anyways, I had a hunch and went and got my blood tested for my thyroid.  Turns out it was slightly off and my meds have been regulated again.  Will it ever be normal?

3. A week ago today my wonderful man got laid off from his job.  He's applied to lots of places and even off of our island and no where has any work available for their own workers.

4. My work has finally posted positions (yay!), but they're all part time.

5. I paid all my bills today.

We went from not worrying about money and saving for a house to stressing in a matter of five days.

We've been short with each other some days but never go to sleep mad which I think is important.  We've talked about moving and what would happen if he had to go away for work but none of it works because we don't really know what would happen until it's actually in front of us.

Getting out of the house helps.
Him having a project (his car) helps.
Me working out everyday helps.


This week should be better.
Next week is a short week for me because of the Easter weekend, we have planned for months to go to a car show in The City, which I am so excited for and hopefully it's just a smooth week that will go by quickly.  And it's pay day.

I apologize for the lame, kind of downer post but that's just how life goes isn't it?
Enjoy your weekend!

A Little Catching Up

I missed this Friday Five, next week's will be special then.  Somehow.
It's been a stressful week.
I had to do some travel for work which makes for long days, my boyfriend and I each had a family member in the hospital, and my brother's place was broken in to.
And I'm generally just an anxious person, so there's that too.

I really wish I had more exciting things to share.
Boyfriend and I only get one day together and we don't do too much.
Our Sundays consist of me sleeping in, then maybe wandering the mall, and then we tend to lay in bed the rest of the day.
Today was more exciting though but I am exhausted now.
Boyfriend and I went to the diner to have breakfast, then his mom and I shopped for home decor/Fall stuff.
I only bought some stamps from Michaels, as I've been Fall shopping for a couple weeks now.

On my day off I'll try to get a haul post done.

I'd really like to start working out again, but I am so pooped lately.
I did find out my thyroid medication was a little too high, so that could be the reason for the no energy and more anxious than usual feeling.

Well, as the leaves start changing and the cooler air begins to take over I'm sure you'll see more pictures from me.
I just love Autumn.

Have a lovely week!
