Creative Meanderings

Although I was quite happy and content with my previous relationship, I often felt taken for granted for the many things I did. Most importantly, I felt as if my body and mind were not fully appreciated. When I changed my diet, my body changed. When I started yoga, my body changed. For someone nearly 40, I think I look pretty good. 😉 It became fairly apparent that I was not being appreciated…

There was a lot of booze consumed by my body this weekend. Not really a good thing. Even after a full day of trying to recover I feel as if I still have alcohol in my system and I gotta say it doesn’t feel nice…. Somehow I have really lost tolerance for too much booze. I can handle a couple of glasses of wine or maybe a bottle of cider, but when shots…

So…it is official, the new residents from just under a month ago are here to stay. They are growing ever bigger and taking on their own personalities. I have adopted them and they are settling right in. 😀 [shashin type=”photo” id=”8210,8212,8219,8218,8207,8240″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] We are also in the process of potty training in terms of using the toilet for the bathroom instead of a litter box. It’s a slow process, but…

So, last night I took a night off to stay around home. Initially, I had planned to work on my research applications that were due on Sunday. However, I managed to get a week extension and so decided to relax, watch some TV and get to bed before 11/11.30. Just an hour difference in my bedtime was significant. I did not sleep any more than I would have, but I got up early…

😀 Okay, so I’m really tired. Too much fun being had lately – is that such a bad thing?! 😉 So, I’m just in need of some quality stress-free sleep. I’m not sure when that is going to happen, but maybe I will put it into my schedule! haha. ;D Anyway, all is good – just tired. Off to the next thing… -T 😀

That is my mind at the moment. I am not sure if I am just too tired to think or if I am so content that I don’t have much going on or if I am so much going on that I don’t know where to start. Maybe it’s a combination of everything? In any case, things are really good. I feel content – busy but content. So, I don’t know what to…

I am still enjoying the feeling of calm and joy from the other night. No, I’m not talking about sex. 😛 I’m talking about having an over four-hour night of engaging conversation over dinner and coffee with a friend. Most of my really good and true friends are the people in my life with whom I can talk on and on for hours. Take my BFF, for example. We can have marathon sessions…

So…I’m most definitely NOT in a hurry to find another relationship. However, I also think there is nothing wrong with meeting new people and maybe going on a few dates. You gotta be open to the possibilities of the right person coming along after all. 😉 Since my big event out on V-day, I have been keeping in touch with my new friends. While I do not consider that I am dating anyone…

Now that I am back in my own space again and fairly settled, I have decided to return to the world of Couchsurfing. I just feel like I am blessed with extra space in my apartment that is not being used that much, so why not offer people an opportunity to stay somewhere for free on their travels? Maybe one day I will get to do the same. My friends have said it…
