My Thirty Something

Exhausted

You would think that after a four day weekend I would be well rested and ready to start another week…..but I’m not. I am exhausted. Looking back it doesn’t even feel like four days passed. Even yesterday afternoon I didn’t believe that it was already Sunday and that I’d have to be back at work today….I soooo wasn’t ready. Considering the last four days I have not hydrated well I was committing myself to drinking just water the rest of this week. But I realized quickly in the car this morning that it wasn’t going to be possible to go the whole morning without some sort of caffeine. Naturally the only solution was a trip to Starbucks for a triple shot grande soy cappuccino. I thought it was going to be a little much but in reality I could’ve had four shots and still felt tired. Without it I’m fairly certain I would’ve been passed out on my keyboard before the clock even reached the double digits.

It was such a fun weekend. I love having family and friends in town. Of course we wanted to give them a taste of Jax. And the result of our eating extravaganza is that I’m actually physically tired of eating. We went to all of our favorite places while everyone was in town and now I want nothing to do with them….ever. Alright I’m being over dramatic but I think you catch my drift. Some of the stuff we did with them this weekend were things I haven’t done ever while living here for the last three plus years. Fireworks down by the river, a Jags football game. Now I’m just trying to tidy up the place….it feels like it is out of control. haha.

A recap of the weekend. Fam arrives. Workout. Dinner Preparation. Dinner. Black Friday midnight shopping. Workout. The French Pantry. More Fam arrives. Dinner at J. Alexanders. Workout. Family breakfast. More shopping. FSU game (I don’t want to talk about it, still LOVE them). Fireworks. Church. Publix Subs. Jags game (with a win). Smashburger. Time to relax and say our sad goodbyes. Love my sisters from another mother. 

Have a wonderful week loves. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Change Is Good?

Happy Halloween all. This year I will not be partaking in the festivities. I take that back if handing out candy counts then I will be slightly participating, no costume though. And I’m not even sure if we’ll even get trick or treaters. I haven’t noticed a lot of kids around our neighborhood so I’m thinking we’re going to be stuck with these two giant bags of candy for the rest of the year, and not even a good mix. Scratch that I guess it isn’t half bad, they have sour patch kids and swedish fish in them. (I will be taking them out before they make it into the bowl to give out)

My friend was telling me the other day about an article he had read about the three most stressful things people go through in life: ending a relationship, moving and starting a new job. Well I’ve done all three in the last four months. I love the new job, but if I’m being honest the first week there totally freaked me out. The girl showing me what to do was just constantly throwing new things at me, things I didn’t know how to do and it felt that even though I had been doing this same job somewhere else for the last three years that I had learned nothing. But then the weekend came and the next week and the way they do things started to make sense to me. And now as I’m wrapping up my third week I’m getting there. I don’t know why I thought I should get everything on day one. That was a little crazy of me and it was hard to get out of my head the way that I had been doing things for all that time at the other company. But it is so unlike my old job, my boss is wonderful and kind and doesn’t freak out at the slightest bump in the road. I’m really loving it there. 

Well have a safe night loves.
