I find myself spending less and less time in front of a computer when I'm not at work so chances are this blog will be updated even less often than usual.
What's new with me? I started a new job a few months ago and I'm enjoying it thus far. I like what I'm doing and despite the commute, I'm usually happy to go to work. It's been a huge adjustment to make with long days and I'm often tired but I love checking my bank account on the 25th of every month, CHA-CHING!
I'm super excited to be coming home on the 19th of November! I haven't been home since my grandmother passed away last January. I miss everyone terribly. It's hard to be here sometimes and as much as I can't wait to see everyone, I'm also very nervous. Whenever I come home, everyone looks so different.. Matt gets bigger each time, my parents look aged and my grandparents seem more frail. It's depressing and really heartbreaking. It's definitely the worst thing about being so far away but I've promised myself that I will aim to go home at least 3 times a year and to spend as much quality time with my family as possible. I'm not sure where this morbid mood is coming from but I don't want to be one of those people who regret not spending more time with the people they love when they pass away. I don't even want to think of that and selfishly, I hope I go before anyone I love.
But it'll be great to see everyone for one of my favorite holidays and of course Black Friday! There is so much I want to do while home and I hope I have time to do it all. There are so many people I want to see, so many of my favorite eateries to hit up, so much Cafe Patron to drink, my hair, toes & nails to get done by true professionals and so many hugs to give. I really feel like I need to get away from here. I haven't felt like myself here for a long time until recently and it's nice to have a bit more of me back.
Anyway, I really like the artist below. Easy listening music that matches my current mood:
