Back to work now for 3 days. WOW, I wish I was still on vacation. I miss it. I miss the beach. I can't wait for another one. Slowly trying to get back into the swing of things.
Many things going on. First, I have an appointment tomorrow to see a new apartment tomorrow. I'm terrified. I'm excited, but crazy nervous. This is basically every single thing I was looking for in an apartment, but I don't know if I can afford it. And that scares me the most. What if I love it but it costs too much? Then I know where I want to live, but I just can't. Then I'll feel even more stuck where I am right now. I really need to move out this place. I know that. I just want to make sure I move into the RIGHT place. SO that's tomorrow.
Tonight was "week 1 training" for the 5K. I had 16 people show up at the event. It was GREAT. SO exciting. I can't wait until next week for week 2. I think this is going to be a great event. I know it will help keep me motivated and on track to run in this 5K event. I need this!
Hmmm... what else? OH!! I know!
Because I am thinking of moving sooner rather than later, I am really going to need to downsize and clear out the clutter. I started my new plan today. Clearing out the spare room or going through all of the clothes I have accumulated it a daunting and overwhelming task. To make it easier and a more manageable idea I have committed to taking a minimum of 1 thing out of my apartment every day. It can be more, but it has to be something.
Today? 25 books are in a box in my car. My friend Robyn is going to donate them at a church near her house. They are doing a book sale to raise money for a counseling center. I think that's a great idea! And I also got a bag out trash out of the spare room. That's pretty good for day one! I'm excited. I need to start to think of more stuff to take over each and every day.
Also on my 101 list.... I have done a few things and I have stayed on track with the 2 things a month outside of my comfort zone, 2 entries per month here and 2 meet up events per month (Ok so I am the organizer on 3 events this month with one group alone!) I'm slowly trying to inch my way through the list. Some will take more time... the 5K isn't something I can do overnight, but I'm already training and the event is in October. Plus, I put do 3 charity walks... this is a charity 5K, so I can count that one for it too!
And if I move, I will kill so many of them with just moving. First, I'd be out of the ghetto, 2nd the spare room will finally be cleared out (has to be if I move out, right? And honestly, I don't know if there is any other way for it to really be cleared out.) 3rd, I will be donating SO much stuff when I move. Hmmm... I forgot, just donated a box of books! I didn't count that one! But I think I have 3 more bags of clothes on the list. Yup, clearing out my clothes will EASILY give me more than 3 bags of clothes. So just moving will cross many off the list! :)
Overall, even though I am back at work, things seem to be going pretty good right now.
