Anemia.
How you torture me. I haven't had it this bad for a long time. Not really enjoying being so exhausted and sluggish; definitely letting my kiddos down.
Looking forward to feeling like myself again in a couple of days.
(Can't come soon enough.)
Ugh.
Aside from feeling like I've been hit by a freight train (took a nasty spill on some black ice yesterday which uncluded cracking my head on concrete, and now my entire body is in ridiculous amounts of pain like I've never experienced before), 2014 is off to a wonderful start.
First off, I'm buying my first house with my beau which I am absolutely ecstatic about. We're customizing it to fit us and to be everything we want in a starter home. It's a huge step for any relationship, but it truly is what feels right. And in being realistic and knowing that anything can happen and that relationships can end, we are preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. (Just in case anyone was questioning how quickly things are moving and how smart the two of us are being.) In any case, this is a very exciting time in my life and I really could not be happier.
Secondly, I've had the chance to see and catch up with many friends whom I haven't seen in a long time ... a year and a half to be exact. Had lunch with my friends from University and it was great to spend time with them and all the Linguistic-nerd glory. Seeing more friends tomorrow which makes me more happy.
Overall, I find that I am quite fortunate and blessed to have this life of mine. For all the hardships and adversity I've faced in past years, I find I'm on the upswing for a change and hopefully staying on this trajectory. Everything good that is happening makes me feel like the struggles were worth it.
Here's hoping 2014 continues to be a great year. I hope everyone's year is going well thus far and will also be prosperous and full of joy.
Much love,
Adrienne
I'm loving Mexico, especially the food and weather, but I am terribly homesick because I left a huge part of me at home. Between the differences in schedule (time zone is the same amazingly) and the ridiculously slow internet speeds or even lack of connection at times from my end, it's making this so much more difficult and frustrating.
I've never been one to really proclaim how I feel, especially when it comes to missing someone, in the public forum. I usually find it awfully saccharine and tacky when others do it, but I find I need to this time around. I left my heart at home and the void is starting to get to me.
Who gives a fuck about your first love? Give a big round of applause for your second love because they taught you love still exists after you thought it never could again.So here's to the one that I'm truly getting to experience "nothing ever comes easy, but it's worth it" with. The one who can piss me off like no one else, but make me smile the next second. The one who gives me a vision to look forward to. The one who accepts me even at my absolute grouchiest ogre-ish moments. The one who truly keeps me grounded. The one who takes care of me. The one who understands my stupid little quirks. The one who completely obliterated the walls I put up and stole my heart even when it was still in pieces.
