Welcome back, Creative-Me!

I’m arguing with myself to not start this post with “recently, xyz…”.  Because, “recently” what have any of us done?  We are at all least in the same bubble, or should be.  However, recently in terms of this blog, there’s so much: I have a new work partner, a new role, and a new desk.

Having someone who works with you- works with you, not just has to work with you, is life changing.  I have that now for the first time in my work partner, and friend, Lindsey.  This blog entry is undoubtedly dedicated to her, for constantly being my advocate and telling me often that I’m very well written.

I haven’t posted on this blog for years, and so much has changed since then; and so much has changed since March of this year.  So, we’re in a double weird nice-to-meet-you situation.  Since March the world has changed, and so I am trying to change with it.  I want to still hold a constant, and maybe that is something I dug up from my past that I didn’t realize how good I was at, until I had a partner encouraging and complementing me on it.  Thank you very much, Lindsey; for seeing my words, and commending them.

I wish I could share a photo of the two of us, working together, but Lindsey lives in Florida, and regardless what does a photo with friends look like these days.  Let me just leave you with the knowledge that she is brilliant, chill, wonderful, and supportive.  She’s something that has caught me by surprise to be so lucky to have in my working and personal life.  She makes me work harder.

Hopefully everyone meets their Lindsey one day.

Including the kitchen sink

Today was devoted to unboxing, or so I said upon my waking.  Yesterday was only for finding a TV cabinet, and I did so.  So kismet is on my side, and I really want to unpack this place.

I placed my DVDs in my new TV cabinet.  I also watched a couple episodes of Friends, again, when that was not at all the plan for today.  Watching 20-somethings in the 90s be irresponsible makes me feel really great for being pretty responsible for 25 in 2015.  Ross says “you know, you reach a certain age where you’ve out grown a roommate…” and the whole ensemble looks at him glaringly.  It may be the only moment where I agree with Ross, but I really don’t want to live with some random person. And I’m not!

Today was made of good decisions, and I felt bored.  I rearranged the underlings of kitchen sink.  (My ceiling leaked this morning too, but that is a transient situation.)

Kitchen sink

Cascade.  Bounty.  Swiffer.  Fire extinguisher.  Me in my “Pirate Ride” Cedar Point T-shirt I got for Christmas two years ago.  I’m pretty much the biggest nerd.

I have made room for a table and more than one chair in my new apartment, now.  I know you’re jealous.  I am in disbelief still.
