So, things never go according to plan. I ended up buying my car before I paid off my student loan, but oh well. Sometimes you have to take calculated risks. It's a 2012 Mazda 3, and I love it.
I'm embracing fall so much this year. I can't wait for sweaters and boots. I bought a little pumpkin from Trader Joe's and I carved it. I haven't done that since I was a kid. I plan on baking the seeds, and maybe trying to do a ton of different pumpkin recipes for the next month since they're so cheap. I love pumpkin & pomegranate time of the year, mmm.
I bought a sewing machine, so I could finally give that try. I have two men's small t-shirts that I need to completely alter because I look like I'm wearing a circus tent. If that goes well, I might try to make a dress. The YouTube videos all seem so easy...
I'm getting so out of shape, it's really upsetting me. My knees have randomly started hurting, which was never a thing before. I started doing yoga stretches before bed, so hopefully that helps. Being really thin can make your bones hurt sometimes, which is weird. My ribs hurt from sleeping on my side. A massage sounds so amazing... *dreamy sigh*
The new girl that filled my position at work is amazing so far, and she mentioned wanting to do yoga for trade somewhere. She seems really cool, and I might ask her if she wants to go with me. I would feel too intimidated to go by myself, and having a friend up here for a change would be nice.
Things have been so weird for me lately. I feel like I stumbled into some new phase of my life, which is just "acceptance". Perhaps I've just taken apathy to zen levels. It feels good. I ate grapes as I took a bath while watching tv today, and I thought, "this is nice". There is nothing. The jingle of my keys, a meowed greeting, comforting foods, lost time online when I should be reading, hot baths, staring at the illuminated hotel windows next door, ginger ale, trying to be more flexible, the soft pop sound of a text message, a cozy bed, the winds of fall seeping in, silence.
