The Power of Words

Day 1- A photo of myself and a description of how my day was.

Yep it's true. I have fallen victim to the 30 Day Blog Challenge. For the next 30 days I will post that days assignment.

My day really started technically at 12:00 am this morning. I was up talking to a family member about my relationship status and what not. It seems as though after that conversation that I have to make a decision quick. I have been stringing it along saying it was nothing but a high school relationship. It has started becoming something more and there is something holding me back and my lovely cousin Davina agreed. The traditional "break" is no use anymore. Today I get to do something I have been dreading. Wish me luck.

So if I had to sum up a few words to describe today it would be dread, apprehension, upsetting, and tiring.

Take Florence For A Midnight Bike Ride

I just have to share this secret to happiness. This tip will be brief, I do promise. The tip? Take yourself for a bike ride at night and blast Florence + The Machine. It is one of the most exhilarating thing you will ever do in your life. Let the cool wind blow in your face and through your hair. Just let it go. Let your stress and your worries spin off the tires into the dark oblivion. It is magnificent.

And not to still thunder away from Florence, but another fantastic song to ride to is, While We Were Dreaming by The Pink Mountaintops.

Enjoy! :]

Autistic Girl Finds Voice Through Typing

Play. Stop. Rewind.

The past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind that I do not wish to repeat but am doomed to eventually.

Being home is an interesting situation. Having all the freedom I had for that month taken away is kind of brutal. Just a little bit. It truly is a bitter-sweet situation.

I bought a ridiculous amount of houseplants. I had a little bit of buyers remorse but by the time I had all 9 plants put into place it quickly faded away. I love my plants. The only drawback is that I can't let my Jasper come sleep at the foot of my bed anymore. He's already tried to eat my Lucky Bamboo, which is sooo not cool by me. Sorry kitty.

Spring break is wrapping up and the only thing I have to show to it is a garbage full of tissues. An impressive amount of tissues. Tuesday, the second day in, I came down with the worlds worst, most brutal, body beating, cold. After being steamed, vapor rubbed, nose blown, medicated, congested, and coughed into oblivion I am still sitting here, on Friday night still sick, unfortunately. It's a beautiful thing being a snot faucet.

Today, I ended up watching Tangled with my little sister, who is also sick. I went to go make popcorn for her and while I was gone she watered my bamboo. Which normally would have been fine but I had put it on top of my t.v. to get it some more light for the day. I came back we watched the movie and all was well. I hadn't noticed that she had watered it for me. So when I went to go move it back the water sloshed out and on my t.v. Now we just hope that it will dry out... Because for the time being I have 2 t.v.s to operate what that 1 did. Thanks Ray. Love you anyways. It also doesn't hurt her case that every time we watch Tangled, when Rapunzel gets her hair cut and it turns brown, she exclaims, "YOU LOOK JUST LIKE RAPUNZEL!!!" I guess I finally found my princess. Yeah... it doesn't hurt at all.... :)

Happy Birthday Corrin. We haven't forgotten you. We love you.

Silence

So as this week comes to a close I can honestly say that the first week of being settled in a new home is boring. It went from being so hectic you could claw your eyes out over the insanity, to complete and utter boredom. There is the occasional dish to do. Maybe you need to vacuum a little just to say you are doing something productive. Making dinner has gone from a pleasure to just an everyday chore. Homework, well it's done. Even my online classes. Thanks for nothing school. Photography, unfortunately, is a no go because of my shoulder. Oh, how I miss the feel of a Nikon in my hands. I am not being mentally challenged at all. I don't even have background noise of screaming children or the everyday life sounds of a busy household. The quiet was nice until it became a constant and there is only so far blasting music can take you. People come and see what I am up to now and again and I go out every once in a while but most of the time my life is enveloped in silence. However, I can't complain because this is what I've been asking for, for years. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

A Dose of Insanity

Well to start things off, I've moved. I no longer live under my parents roof, which in some ways is majorly awesome and in other ways it is a major buzz kill. But it's a part of growing up and I am thrilled to be taking this next step in my life. Along with the move came a lot of emotions and many mood swings. Some good, some not so grand. However, I am truly blessed to be accompanied on this little adventure with my dear, dear friend Chani Cottam. Kudos to her for putting up with me thus far.

And to add to irritation I kind of hurt myself in the process of moving. I really shouldn't have expected any less from myself.

Also, among other things, there has been countless episodes of drama. Don't you just love people? Sometimes I think I'd rather pass on that second helping of drama.

Here's to another week and another round of relentless life experiences. Cheers.
