It has been almost a year since I have had the time to sit down and blog. School is now officially insane. 20 credits, 2 break ups, and a car accident later, I am alive and functioning.
First of all. I got challenged to drink a gallon of water each day for a month. The first days were hell. Literally hell on earth. My life was centered around drinking so much water. When i wasn't drinking water, I was looking for a bathroom. But as time went on, the bathroom breaks became less and less frequent. and i didn't feel as waterlogged and bloated as the first few days. After a month, my skin looked much better. So now it is an everyday thing to try and drink a gallon of water. Some days i make it, and others I don't. It is just a matter ofhow i feel starting off my day.
So the last post i wrote about my then boyfriend, AJ. We did end up being together for 13 months before he left to Turkey for a two year cycle. I found out that he was using me. It took me 13 months of being madly in love with him before I could see that. The bad thing was that i wish i had noticed earlier about his lack of interest. Well it was supposed to end well, but it really didn't. It ended with a large fight at 2 in the morning on my birthday and a good long uncomfortable silence before it ended well. We are now just friends as that was the better solution than to hate each other.
Well with the stress of everything I developed eczema. Its a terrible thing where your skin gets super dry and itchy. It is either an autoimmune issue or it is brought on by stress...guess which one I have. While all this was happening, i was literally scratching holes into my leg. It was terrible. Actually it still is. It spread to my right forearm and now that is the worst I have ever seen it. To be honest, it deserves to rot in hell. I am tired of always itching and then having the area swell from all the itching. And yes I have tried pretty much everything. And nothing seems to help. Well actually not getting into the pool helps alot, but as a swim instructor, its kind of hard not to get in the pool. So i get in, dye and then take a hot shower to rinse off all the chlorine.
So i got with my friend Chris shortly after. I did give myself enough time...before anyone can question it. He was great, but he had a temper on him that made me walk on thin ice the whole month we were dating. Im actually not sure if id call it dating. We never actually did anything. He promised a lot of things, but got mad when i brought it up later. He would always get mad that i never made time for him because i was always in school or working. No, duh! I have to survive somehow! And so it ended over text. When you are ignoring me, leaving me on read, and not even responding, excuse me for not wanting to make the effort to talk to you. Well, that is another box checked off for experience. Oh well.
Now I am just planning on doing me for a while. Working, going to school, busting my butt and working on Mikey. Speaking of my precious car. He stopped running early april. So i parked him and pulled the engine. The simple engine pull turned into me wanting to completely restore him. So that is now the plan with Mikey. My good friend Alex is helping me. It is so nice to have two friends that promise something and actually go through with it! I just need money. If anyone would like to donate car parts, that would be lovely!
Honestly the thing that got me through this bullshit called life is being in contact with my best friend Maia. We would email and there were definitely some times where email were a month or two apart just because life got super busy, but i loved getting the email and just over all having that constant (give or take) form of communication with someone i really care about. I miss her and can't wait to see her for christmas break!
Car accident. So after mikey stopped running, I got a 2009 Mini Cooper s. It was a cute little car and so much fun to drive. Long story short, i got into a wreck with her a couple days ago. The feels when your daily turns into a project car hahaha. But now i am working my life around not having a car ready to drive, at my disposal. To be honest, it is kind of a hassle and I dont like it. But oh well. At least I am ok and Minnie is less than ok, but I can fix her easily.
So there it is. The long story short of why i haven't been able to write in a while. Hopefully things should calm down and I should be able to write more.
