Month: May 2016

Today started off well with some great cuddles!!!

Who could get out of bed when she wants cuddles??!!

Work was a bit crazy

This helped me through hahahahaha.

After work I hit the gym for a quick 30 min spin, loosen the legs up a bit for my half marathon tomorrow.

A delicious pre-race dinner

Salad, pasta, and beer battered fish fillets.

Everything is laid out for tomorrow.

Thankfully it’s a small, laid back race so I’m actually not too nervous which is nice.
I am staying up until the last minute so I can hopefully get to sleep quickly.

A little ‘revenge ‘ anyone?

I’ll let you know how the race goes!

So either way I think I need to find a new place to live and besides 1-2 leads that aren’t calling me back i cannot afford to live alone in the Portland area and I don’t think I can live with strangers.  This leaves either a significant raise at work or relocating to a new place.

My brother lives in Houston, Texas I looked and found apartment after apartment that would allow me to live comfortably, pay off debt and still have a life, my brother also said that there are jobs a plenty and Craigslist supports this.

My other idea is Indiana near the Kentucky boarder one of my best friends just moved there in November.  Craigslist shows jobs a plenty in the Louisville area and there are more apartments than I can count that I could again live comfortably in, pay off debts and still have a life.

Obviously I could go back to Reno and I have wonderful friends there but I feel like if I move I want to go somewhere new.

Both Texas and Indiana would be huge leaps of faith for me but at least this time I would have friends/family there. Also I want a farm and a husband who wants to farm and to have kids and both those places seem like they might have some men options for that hahahahaha!!!!

On the other hand I have been doing meetup.com and my training and I am finally feeling like socially I am starting to get my sh*t together. I love the women in my book club, though I could use meetup.com in both those new places and true bonds haven’t been formed with these women yet so yea.

Anyone want to give me their advice/thoughts/opinions?

Well today wasn’t bad. I trained at work so I was bored out of my mind but it was ok.

I did stretch/strength with my trainer this morning that was awesome.

Tonight was book club. I am loving my book club!

The book on the left is what we read, very cute fun read. The horribly wrapped book on the left is a fun idea we did called a book blind date. You wrap a book and write 6 things about it on the cover then we each picked a book.

So read my description and here is the book it is for

Ill tell you about the book I got tomorrow.

So I got home and was making a quick dinner while getting all my stuff ready for tomorrow when one of my roommates came home and both roommates have found a place to live. One is moving out by June 1st and the other thankfully will stay until either I find a place or we get kicked out because the place sold.

So now the clock is ticking and I have the impossible task of finding someplace I can afford and still feel safe and comfortable……in other words a unicorn.

If anyone finds an apartment for less than $900/month with less than a 45 min commute to wilsonville and takes dogs. Please let me know.

Happy Monday!!!!

What do your workouts look like this week?

When is your next race?

Last night was trivia and it was super fun! I am really enjoying it.
I haven’t worked out since my run on Sunday. I gave up trying to schedule my workouts with my trainer this week after 3 failed attempts.

I have been sooooo excited and don’t feel like I’m getting enough rest and have been blaming on stress like I told you on Tuesday.

Today I resorted to this instead of full throttle though I only drank 3/4ths of it.

I had some healthy food

And drank some Gatorade mixed with water

Which helped me get in 7 glasses of water.

And after talking to a girl at work I think I may have………ALLERGIES!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I have gone my whole life never having allergies but I guess stress can agrivate it more so I may have allergies now.

I bought this at lunch. We will see how it goes. This weekend I will get some local honey to help as well.

How is your week going?

Work is still crazy. I haven’t slept well in 2 days, I cancelled my Monday and Tuesday workouts. After work today I picked up some dream water to help me sleep well tonight.

This morning my roommate let me know that tomorrow a realtor is coming by tomorrow to check out the house. I got to come home and clean. Super fun. Now I just took my dream water and am excited to sleep and hopefully let the stress go.

I have no idea what I am going to do, rent around here is soooo expensive.

Wish me luck. I’m going to pass out.

Happy Monday!!!
