Yeah Yeah and I'm Alright.
It may be the end of the week, but I feel like it's time for a fresh start.
I promised myself to make it good last week, and I've been trying. I went out and applied for more jobs, and I forced myself to at least try to do things that make me happy. I did some cooking (although uninspired cooking has proven itself difficult), went out for a few walks (being unable to run has also been extremely difficult), and worked on my grad school essays and application some more. I even weighed myself last Thursday and have managed to lose a couple of pounds, which I did not expect (if anything I expected to maintain, if not gain, weight) because I have not been running at all.
This afternoon (or maybe tomorrow) I'm leaving to go home for the next two-ish weeks. I'm gonna hang out with my family, help my mom out a little, bake Thanksgiving pies with my Nana, and spend some quality time with my baby sister. Also, I still have my old gym membership back home, so I'm seriously going to the gym EVERY DAY. And I actually have friends back home, so I'll get to see them! Yay!
You know, for someone who usually tends to be pretty anti-social, I've been admittedly very lonely! I have about... well, two friends here in Grand Rapids. One of whom I've met up with once and has a very busy work schedule, and the other is my boyfriend, which doesn't even count. Do I have any tumblr friends in GR? Let's be real-life friends plz?
Anyway, today I'm getting stuff done. I have a feeling something is going to change for the better very soon. Hopefully that will mean getting a job, or maybe I'll win the lottery, or find out that I actually have some secret trust fund full of money that my family has been hiding from me, or somebody in France will ask me to come live with them and take care of their children, or... something, since I'm literally almost out of money. Oh, life... Something's gotta work out for me one of these days, right?!
In the meantime, this playlist has been getting me through the cloudy days. It started out as a fall running mix, but obviously I haven't been running, so it's turned into more of a fall-feel-good-and-be-happy mix. (If you don't use Spotify, you should really sign up. It's free and totally convenient. This is a collaborative playlist so feel free to add any tracks you think fit the mood!)
What are you doing today to make it good?
