flu bug.

okay so for the past few days i have been feeling a little bit of a cold coming on, but nothing too severe. so i thought, "okay, take some vitamin c and some multi-vitamins and everything will be GOOD." but instead i awoke this morning to find that i had a fever and things were looking great for the day ahead of me.. ICK! i feel like ive been sick like 121984029384092 million times in the past year.
anyways, on a happier note i was really productive today even though the flu has been hanging over my head.

today i:
went for a walk in the morning.
showered and was at work by 11, and worked till 6:30.
then back home to clean myself up... and then to staples where i finished the new menus for work!
and then to hang out with alex for a bit!

him and i have changed our schedules a bit so we have been able to see eachother more than just once a week! and i LOVE it <3
i want to spend as much time with him as i can before he leaves on his trip to austrailia on the 1st of august. it will be the first time we've been apart for a month :(
im sad that he is leaving but i cant wait to see all his cool pictures and to hear all his stories about his trip!

i really need to go take some sinus medication for this situation im having..

today: not for all the love in the world - the thrills.

so this house was designed by frank lloyd wright and i learned about it in school this past year. he designed this house on top of a waterfall that cascades on 2 sides.

this house represents peace, unity, calm, tranquility, and carry a zen-like quality.

its simple, yet dynamic.

i love it. <3

repeats.

so today is another day of working and the usual routine. this morning i got up around 7 and went for a short run (it was revitalizing) and then back home to get ready for another days worth of working. since i've been home, it seems like its just been a repeat of tasks.

my usual weekly schedule goes like this:
monday: off work, and weekly chores like laundry and such, and a run.
tuesday: gym in the morning, then work from 11-8
wednesday: run in the morning, then work from 11-8, and then if i'm lucky.. some time with alex!
thursday: gym the morning, then work from 11-10
friday: run in the morning, then work from 11-10
saturday: errands, then work again... from 4-9
sunday: work from 12-8

i've been starting to feel "sluggish" from the same thing week by week. so this weekend i think i'm going to spend my time to try and figure out how i can make life back home more exciting.

anyways, enough of the ranting. my break is over and i must get back to worky.

peace love unity.

just one more.

ps. i just thought of another...

i want to see a shooting star for the first time...
i've never seen one, and i am DETERMINED.

sketch an outline.

before i came back to cranbrook (my hometown) for the summer i decided that i wanted set some goals to accomplish over the summer.

here's the initial list:
-get better at running.
-go out to the lake more.
-work lots to save money for the upcoming school year.
-learn/take-up a new hobby.
-get a better tan than i did last summer (lack thereof).
-start thinking about portfolio ideas for my applications to U of T and Ryerson.
-teach alex how to cook.

and even though i've been working 40ish hour weeks, i've managed to find the time to add to the list of goals. i've taken up knitting, and sketching, and i've re-decorated my sisters room and also mine! i'm pretty proud of myself :)

as the summer goes on, maybe i can add even more to the list!
hearts.
