+/- of the Week

-T has been out of town for work all week

+he gets back this afternoon

+I’ve been able to/made time to work out and eat well all week

-valve behind toilet started leaking Monday

+managed the leak with plastic wrap and emptying a large bowl until maintenance could come yesterday morning

-8am yesterday: value breaks off in maintenance man’s hand and water geysers

+get the water shut off and the flood under control and using every towel in my apartment, including beach towels to soak up water

-maintenance man goes to get parts and my idiot upstairs neighbors decides in those 15 minutes he’s gone to take a shower/came down to the basement and apparently turned the water back on

-by myself trying my best to keep the water spewing from the broke value/pipe under control. 

+maintenance man comes back and shuts the water off

-start using tshirts to soak up water since I’m out of towels

+get everything fixed and sopped up. Maintenance man brings a pro grade fan to dry the carpet that has some minor water overflow

+Maintenance man and I wring out all the soaked towels/shirts and leave in the tub for me to deal with afterwork

-Come home from work to do a shit ton a laundry, start 2 loads of towels/tshirts to come back and find the water for the washers was still off and I wasted $$ and time. 

-drag wet/detergent covered loads to building next door’s laundry room. Only one washer is working. Spend the next 4 hours and $20 doing laundry

Moral of the story: days like yesterday really make me miss my dad. Tomorrow would have been his 66th birthday, but it’s been almost 8 years since he’s passed. Even if my dad would have been alive he couldn’t have physically helped since he prob wouldn’t be living near me, however just talking to him always calmed me down and make me feel less upset. I was able to talk to T and that helped some. I told T about how all of the chaos of the day really made me miss my dad and how I could call him anytime. T sweetly reminded me that he’s always there for me to call. I still miss my Dad terribly, but T was very sweet and comforting.

SUN-day

T and I enjoyed all the daylight savings sunshine today. We went to Gravelly Point Park to watch the planes at Reagan take off and land. We then spontaneously walked the Mount Vernon to one of the DC bridges and went to the Jefferson Memorial before walking back. I CANNOT wait for more outdoor fun! 

I can’t believe it’s 7 years today that I picked up my lovebug. He more often than not gets called by one of his many nicknames. I’ve never once felt lonely with Freddie at my side, he’s been with me through the best and the worst of times. Here’s to at least another 7 more years! #freddieversary

No More Filler Guys: Why You Should Wait For The One You Deserve

No More Filler Guys: Why You Should Wait For The One You Deserve

Stop caring about those who don’t care how you feel.

I love this article. I spent so much of my twenties NOT wasting time on boys that weren’t worth it. There were times when I thought maybe I SHOULD be wasting my kisses, love, and time on the wrong guys just BECAUSE (because everyone else was/seemed to be maybe?). 

However now I’m proud to admit I don’t have very many guys I wish I never kissed or wasted time on. My boyfriend (and other quality guys I’ve known in the past) are/were always shocked that I haven’t had a string of boyfriends and that I’ve spent a majority of my life single. I dated, crushed, and had some drunken make outs, but really I saw the time I spent with people as a valuable commodity and didn’t want to waste it on “filler guys.” Instead I have some of the deepest and closest friendships around, I’m educated and advanced in my career, and best of all I really know myself and love myself. 

Now at 31 I’m in a strong and secure relationship with the kind of guy I always dreamed of and you bet your ass it’s worth the wait!
