This One Life

I'm either traveling the world or spending every free moment on the couch with Netflix. There's no middle ground.

Teaching 2 yr olda

Sometimes you leave work and everything you eat or drink tastes like poop. Literally. #toomanydiapers

I know this is kind of a general betrayment of my species but I love mondays. I am well rested, it's been a couple days since I've worked so the day is more enjoyable, it's been a couple days since I've been to the gym and so I feel stronger and am less sore. Anyway, sorry. But Mondays are sooo much better than Tuesdays. Also my mouth is full of banana bread. So that's nice too.

Our server got creative last night.

Strange Campus-Person

What is happening. It's cooler outside than inside. Probably only for then next hour or so but still. Sometimes 7am feels good.

Learning New Things?

So I was just reading a dumb post about things that people had learned way too late in life and it was really embarrassing. Then I learned something new. How is the word “Segue” pronounced “Segway”??? I have literally never connected the two words and thought that “Segue” was just another word for a transition. What the hell.   

I thought I was done but my mind is still blown.

So

Don't get me wrong I love the weather so much. I love that it's hot and I will 100% be complaining about the cold as soon as it hits 75. But it do really miss the breeze that you get when the humidity is "Oregon-level" and the coolness that is in the morning and evening. I saw someone's picture on Facebook of their front lawn in Corvallis in the morning and I had a second where I remembered exactly what it felt like.

tldr; Crush the Patriarchy

My tldr was too long for me to type. Quick version:

It sucks as a women to remember how stressful and scary it is to walk alone at night because you are used to walking with a man and realize that they feel like you do with them all the time. My brain is nice and lets me forget in between times but then it happens and I’m like, “oh yeah” there are too many creepos out there to feel safe anywhere.

Also I’ve been spelling the word “Mores” like the eel for 7 years.

Today I only tried two lockers and 3 combinations before getting them both right together. #success

Productive

I came home all ready to be super productive (after successfully convincing my brain to make myself go to the coop on the way home from work instead of straight home) but instead I danced around my living room in my underwear to country music. I’m much less productive-feeling but very happy so... win? And honestly one of the things I was trying to be productive about was posting on Tumblr so... doing good so far. 

I’m also trying to convince my brain that it should get itself together to make some banana bread tonight to take to leave in the break room tomorrow to help introduce myself more widely to people at work. I might keep dancing instead though.

Missing this today! I still think about our hike all the time and about how hard it was, and how frustrating and how amazing and rewarding and thrilling. It’s weird (but cool) to have been walking together for ten hours and realize that you’ve been talking the whole time.

Colors

I'm really glad trees are green so that the buildings at UO didn't have to be as green as the buildings at UT are orange.

Roads

The roads here are so bad. It's like a bad chair massage every time I go biking.

It’s Hot

I’m having some kind of mild heat exhaustion thing going on I think. I didn’t drink enough water yesterday and even though I’ve been drinking a ton since last night I still have kind of a headache. Me and Kyle went to a super amazing totally delicious lunch today at Mi Madre’s which has totally tasty tex-mex but we had to bike over a mile there and back and it’s really hot out which probably didn’t help my situation. I’m planning on staying inside tomorrow hah. With maybe a dip into the pool if it’s still sunny. 

The food was so good though. 1000% worth the heat and biking. I got this crazy enchilada, avocado taco rice and beans combo that came with queso. It was good. Really, really good. Now Kyle’s doing some errands for school and getting some reading printed off while I cool off. We got a hot/cold pack too that I have in the freezer so soon I’ll have that on my head and that will be super great.

My Life:

So I had an interview this morning for a job I really want, and it went well and I feel like I asked all the right questions and answered their well but they still have someone to interview tomorrow and then will decide sometime mid next week. Anyway so I get home from this feels-pretty-good-but-who-knows interview and sit on the couch for a second and then fell asleep. And had an what felt like an hours worth of one dream where I was in the interview and then the other person they were interviewing turned out to be Kyles sister and she was awesome and drove a really fancy car. The whole dream was all about this fictional person being way better for this job than me and getting the job and then I got a subway sandwich and the guy serving it felt bad for me and gave me extra pickles and cut off the crust. Moral of the story, I need lunch.

Update:

There was something wrong with the table but a brief call from my Dad who somehow figured out what was wrong with the table from another state it is fully fixed and supposedly functional.
