I know I am. Life is peachy and I feel incredibly loved.
This is me, blogging from my new computer and loving that I can do so much on it already without having it be silly and need to reboot every five minutes.
This is bound to be a longer post, so buckle in and keep your eyes on the page. Things are going to be very interesting and I'm going to have to say all the things on my mind. It may or may not be in any specific order either because this is a test to see who's following along or lagging behind.
So anyway, I've been through exactly four weeks of school now and with mild amounts of success mixed with frustrations and setbacks that make pretty much no sense most of the time. I'm doing alright actually. Now that I have this beautiful new computer which I am using at Deb and Tony's right now, I feel like life is going to be just the more peachy and enjoyable.
I have been pretty much (knock on wood) migraine free for the past four weeks except that I took some of my meds yesterday and had to take things slower than I usually do for a Thursday. Yeah, I think I've mentioned before that Tuesday's and Thursday's are my busy days and that I really don't do a whole lot of anything when Wednesday's and Friday's roll around. (Yes, I know that I need a job but finding one is easier said than done.)
On the topic of meds, I was at the neurologist in Ann Arbor on Monday (9/10). The doctor told me that the Chiari malformation is not the cause of my head pain. She showed me pictures of my brain, and she explained everything so I am going to have to agree with her that there is nothing wrong with my brain at all, except maybe the scattered part sometimes that makes me think of things like my amazing stories.
I'm thinking that you probably want to know anything I'm willing to tell you about my birthday too. What if I said that I'm not willing to tell you anything. What happens on your twenty first, stays......okay that doesn't make any sense. I'll just suck it up and fill you in on the amazing week I had.
Labor day weekend, I was in Hicksville with Deb and Tony and my cousins. I had a great time like I always do when I'm here and Tony made a really great meal of duck with a mushroom risotto and an asian salad whose name I can't remember for the life of me. My boyfriend even showed up on Sunday to partake in the wonders that are Tony's cooking. Plus, the wine and the company were great so I can't imagine why anyone would dislike repeating that night.
The week of my birthday was from Tuesday on, absolute, pure to the core, chaos. Between classes and friends and other commitments, I was seriously swamped in things that were going on in my life.
I made up a lab that I missed when I went to the neurologist this past Monday, on my birthday from 7 to 9 pm which was not my idea of having fun but my roommate (who is an absolute doll) made my day worth it by keeping my spirits high. Then I got these lovely roses in the mail from Sara and Ian. They were and still are absolutely beautiful. So that made me smile even more. To add to that, all these wonderful friends of mine wrote me on my facebook wall to tell me Happy Birthday because they were thinking of me. I felt so very loved. It was great.
So as you may have guessed, I did not go out at midnight to drink on my birthday or whatever it would have been that I would do to celebrate being of legal drinking age. I was responsible enough to wait until Thursday night to have drinks with Anne at Trotter's with dinner, which of course was a great time! I then proceeded to go back and sleep in my dorm room so that I could get up just before noon on Friday in order to partake in the free massages over at the counseling center's open house.
Then of course my friends stepped in to make my day even better, and taking me to get a pedicure. So I have purple toenails and soft beautiful feet.... yeah that was probably more than you wanted to know but I don't think I care... (insert evil laugh here)
Okay so back to Friday before I get distracted again..... I've been writing this blog now for like 3 hours or something. It's slightly ridiculous.
Ahhhh!
Back to Friday!
Yes, ummm... okay, so for those of you out of the loop, I have a boyfriend but that's all I have to say about that because I'm trying to get all of this down before it leaves my head for good.
So Friday night, my boyfriend took me to Columbus for dinner because he's an amazing guy and it was a really up-scale place with some really good whiskey, scotch, bourbon, etc. and the food was good too! The place is called Barrel 44 on High Street and I really had a great time. I would suggest this place to anyone with any sort of taste-buds because it is definitely worth the drive.
Saturday, I went to Black Swamp Arts Festival up town Bowling Green and walked around there, looking at all the art and thinking about past years of going there and thinking that it's been way too long since I've seen some of my friends from high school. Oh, the reminiscing that is happening right now and that was happening then. It's so hard to believe that this is my 3rd year being in college.
Saturday night, Carmen and Eric took me out and we had a good time until they had to leave and I hung out with a friend until around midnight. Carmen made me an amazing necklace by the way. I haven't taken it off since she gave it to me and I don't plan on taking it off anytime soon.
So yeah, now we've come full circle and we're back to Monday because I didn't do anything exciting on Sunday at all unless of course you count homework and sleep on your list of top thrill activities..... then of course it was an amazing day too.
This week has been uneventful and I'm pretty happy that I get some down time. Sunday, I'm hoping to see my boyfriend and spend some time with him. Maybe we'll go for a picnic but that's only if the weather doesn't tear up those plans and decide to rain on my parade of joyful flower picking, tree hugging and rolling in the grass one last time before the leaves start to fall. Then, I'll have to break out my hoodies....
So my friends we've come to the end of this one. I know that I promised a long one and that this isn't so very long as I thought it would be but I mean you could ask me anything you really want to know that I don't have up here for your reading pleasures...
That means you'll have to leave a comment or something. Until then I'm running this show and you can't do a single thing about it.
As always,
Blessed Be!
