How To See Yourself As You Really Are

Beethoven's 5th

I have to do responsible stuff today! I have to do laundry, which means I have to go to the store and get detergent and dryer sheets. I also have to get ramen (part of your balanced breakfast), ibuprofen, tweezers, a mirror, mouthwash, olive oil, coconut oil, ice, toner, a plug for my bathtub so it can live up to its title, aaaaaand... that might be it. That's a lot. I'm going to have to take my little red wagon. Squee!

I hope my new neighbor appreciates my taste in music, because I am LOVING playing music while showering. I've been playing my classical playlist. I think every shampoo rinse should be accompanied by an impressive crescendo. ;)

A welcome change...

I'm feeling really good and healthy today... Plenty of energy and a robust appetite. It's about damn time. :)

In other, somewhat related news, I'm trying to decide whether to make a big, intimate, important blog post. I know I said in my first post that this blog was to be my refreshingly unfiltered outlet, but I gotta say--this topic is really giving me pause.

On the lighter side, I have very much enjoyed some kitty time lately. :)

EATING IS MY FAVORITE

Tonight I had a pita for dinner and so far I haven't thrown it up!!!

Yay for eating!

Big city lights

3am thoughts:

It never gets dark here. Ever since I moved, I've been waking up around now and had trouble getting back to sleep. For some reason, every time, I always check the clock first, then look out the window.  And every time, I am surprised to see an eerie orange sky. The first time, it took me a bit to realize it was from all the lights illuminating the atmosphere. Every time since, I immediately am aware of that; so why am I still surprised? I guess it's just one more thing to get used to.
Silly small town girl.

Hello Portland

Some pictures from my new town.

In other news, tired. Stressed. Grateful for work.

Welp, Portland.

So... Here I am.

Two interviews down, one more today. Then maybe a callback from yesterday's?

Grey sky out there today; what did I expect?
