I am exhausted. More things went wrong than right in all honestly.
The Bad: I am only able to post because I am creeping off of someone’s wifi. Not sure how safe it is so this won’t be too long. I have to pray that the Comcast guy actually comes between 1-3 pm tomorrow like they said. Tonight I am on my cot to sleep because I get my bed tomorrow late morning. My PO Box was broken so they had to switch locks. No internet or cable, go figure. You think I would get used to this. Didn’t get to go grocery shopping until almost 7 pm meaning I was less than inspired and got the same old stuff. Not part of my plan. I am eating, sleeping basically living on the floor because I have zero furniture. Not going to lie, I got teary eyed a few times today because I just wanted my family to be here with me. I feel like all I have done has spent money between paying the bills, paying Comcast… I have spent no money on anything fun in the past two months. That is lame. I wish I felt like I could but I just get so anxious to even think about spending money. 
The Good: Moving took an hour, yep you heard that right. I had only two trips in a small car to get my stuff. It was super easy and painless. I am completely unpacked, again taking no time at all. No appetite today ended with a desire for nothing. However, watermelon on sale for 79 cents a pound. Sign me up. I got my coffee in the mail from Lindsay’s giveaway (Island coconut, oh my!) and my sports bra from Ali’s giveaway. 
Tomorrow I start making action plans, get my bed, wait for Comcast. Another jam packed day. I will be beat so a nice bed tomorrow night could not come soon enough. I hope to catch some reruns of the Olympics, twitter is killing me with everyone’s posts! Posting will be a bit wacky this weekend, bear with me. Monday it will be back to normal!
Questions: What is your good and bad today? What is one essential thing you can’t live without in your home or apartment?
My good was a free glass of wine…and my bad was extra bad traffic. I think i cant live without a comfy bed- makes all the difference. A new bed is going to be soooo nice!! Fingers crossed for you that the comcast guy comes on time tomorrow
I really can’t wait for a bed. Ugh, traffic but free class of wine…love it!
I’m swooning over your new digs! In my first apt I too move in with no furniture. I was pretty broke so I ended up buying stuff from Goodwill as well as some couch covers from Big Lots. The final result was comfy, cozy and all mine.
The good news is also that you’re moved and the next thing that happens is you finally get to settle! It’ll happen before you know it. Enjoy!
I think that is what I will do, or try some sort of second hand place. Yes, moving in is great!
Ohh comcast. We got rid of them a few years ago, they SUCK. Hopefully you’ll get your bed tomorrow, even if it’s the only furniture you have, that’s going to feel SO good!
I think I may try world market tomorrow to take a peek!
Haha…when my internet doesnt work i mooch off the neighbors too! LoL.
It is terrible but I am desperate!
Watermelon!! Best purchase u could have made!! So glad u r in a new apt!! Best part of my day is my work being done at 10am!!
Thought of you immediately when I cut it up. Om nom so good.
This is a huge step for you and I’m so glad you finally took it. You’re inspiring me to go out there and do the same thing right now. Have a night in to yourself tomorrow with your big comfy bed, the Olympics, and some Arctic Zero :p
I hope I get cable because all of those sound like what I freaking want to do tonight!
Glad the move was painless!
My bad: damn time difference meant i fell asleep and mussed the live showing of the Olympics opening ceremony.
My good: I slept like a rock
I missed the olympics too, I am hoping to watch re runs because I heard it was awesome.
I know everything may seem like it’s just not going right, but as I’ve told you time after time, it will all fall into place. It breaks my heart to see you wanting and missing your family more than anything. Just try to tell yourself, that you are such a strong & beautiful individual. I mean you are making this move on your own, and your figuring out what they call “life”. Your getting your bills taken care, and everything that comes along w/ being an adult. Be proud of yourself girl.
Truth, I know that looking back I will be proud I did it all on my own. Something not a lot of people my age can say. You are always the best voice of reason for me! i appreciate that a lot.
You are so welcome girl, anytime
My good: I got caught up on my sleep! You can’t beat a good nap
Bad: I didn’t get a great workout in. Oh well!
That’s so awesome that it only took you an hour to move!
Oh gosh I am in the need of lots of sleep to catch up, glad you got that.
Good – Relaxing after a crazy, busy work week
Bad – Freezing cold weather!
Can’t live without – My kettle! And tea…
cold weather, that just seems insane to me right now. My runs have been in the 80s 90s with so much humidity.
Sorry it’s been rough so far
. Look at it this way, it can pretty much only get better from here on out. You can do it, it’s only a little while without internet/cable… and you’ll be able to get furniture and decor along and along as you earn money. Trust me, you’ll come out of the move stronger than when you went in *hugs*. Good luck with everything!
Hahah, Ya I really did get over the worst part. Now it is all the fun decorating that will hopefully be cheap.
Hang in there! It’s tough starting out but hold your head high and know good things are coming your way
So true! Thanks for that reminder. always needed.
Aaaw,Alex,hang in there! You’ve almost made it through this tough and stressful time already,don’t give up now. Always remember we’re here for you,and we are not the only ones wanting to suppport you whenever and however possible. You’ve got so many friends and family members who care about you – stay strong. Remeber you’re loved. You will make it through,I’m sure of it.
Thanks Kat, sometimes I just want that comfort of my parents to help me make this place more homey!
My bad: I miss Lexi!
She’s gone until tomorrow. I’m going through a rough time and I miss having my voice of reason and rock so close.
My good: Yoga later! And a weekend in DC. I’ve been traveling so much lately that I’m exhausted.
Ya, Lexi seems like she has been doing a lot of awesome traveling! I love having a friend that grounds me like that. Have fun at yoga, always a great stretch.
My good today so far has been getting to hear from you!! I miss you but I am so happy that you are moved in to your own place… there is something comforting about living in a place that is completely yours! My bad today was watching Paul McCartney’s performance from last night of the opening ceremony… he is getting old man…
As for things I can/cannot live without… I cannot live without music. I drive an hour to work in the morning and evening in terrible “tunnel traffic” which is horribly discouraging and frustrating. However, I enjoy my job and save money by living at home so it is worth it
I can live without people texting and driving. These new commercials on TV showing peoples last text that they are reading/writing when they died are HORRIBLE and I HATE THEM! I wish people would just be patient and wait for a stop light or something at least…
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU, that is all. Miss you like whoa.
ughhh I HATE working with comcast. They are the most frustrating company on the planet. I hope you get everything worked out. And I hope you start to feel better about your new place. It can be a really hard transition even if you know its a good decision. Having things go wrong the first day in can be really tough too, and can make lonely feelings even worse. Just remember why you decided to move, and counter those feelings of anxiety with daydreams about all the awesome stuff you can do in your new place. Keep your chin up honey! (and don’t let those comcast guys get away with shit!) My bad yesterday was going out to b’fast with my sister and then realizing the place we picked was closed. My ED sort of freaked out when she and my uncle suggested Waffle House, and she and I ended up in an embarrassing fight. Then we had to cancel our paddle-boarding reservations because we packed our suits in boxes that got moved. My good happened later: the move went quicker than anticipated so we got to cook dinner and sleep in the new house! And i unwound with a celebratory glass of pinot (or 2…okay fine 2 and a half).
This is all so great. I am so grateful that you can share your experience with me, it totally makes me feel less alone. I am glad you overcome your ED and fought those thoughts. It really hates spontaneity so you beat that! Have a wonderful day in the new place
I’m glad the move went well! I always get stressed moving! And I super dislike waiting on Comcast… geez!
It was stressful but now that I am in, I am in!
When in doubt, eat more watermelon! Words to live by
Couldn’t agree more. Can I have a tshirt with that on it?
the beginning of something amazing. you’ll get to live so much more comfortably!
