A Day In My Life

I've debated the title of this post for about an hour now trying to remember if articles in a title should be capitalized or not. Look, I made a choice, let's just move on from this.

Today, I wanted to take you along for a typical day with me, because I spend 97% of my time alone and it feels better if I imagine I have you guys there with me. Cyber hugs! Keep it above the waist.

I started out the morning bright and early at 5:00 am to watch not one, but two movies in a row on Netflix. You'd be surprised to hear that Don't Be A Menace and Annie actually pair quite nicely when watched subsequently.
There it is again. Articles in a title, and underlining vs italics. I need English lessons.

After that, I chugged two cups of coffee and had every intention of proudly sporting my slipper shoes into Salvation Army to buy silverware--don't judge--, but within almost minutes my bowels were screaming from my previous beverage choices and all I could think of was the safety of the Target bathroom where I was headed next.

Can you detect the hustle?

At Target, I proceeded to purchase only the items on my list, and successfully made it through checkout without any attitude sales pitches from the Target lady. Seriously, if you ask me about that debit care one more time....

I bought aforementioned silverware, because girl can't keep a fork in the house around here....



...and curtains, the rod to which I strategically used to cover my five head/pose for an awkward wizard-like selfie.

I also snapped this photo of Zoey on the outside table, which Zack hates because he fears she will fall through the glass and shred herself to bits and which I secretly encourage because of cuteness reasons. We're great parents.

After avoiding picking up this small piece of trash on the floor for the rest of the morning, I decided I would treat myself to some sushi for lunch.

Aren't you grateful for this visual aid?

The trek to get sushi was somewhat less than enjoyable. If you have ever tried to parallel park a long bed F-150 on a busy street you understand. Oh, and there was that moment when I tried to take a paper from The Pitch dispenser and was unfortunate enough to discover that someone had peed in there.

But all in all, it was a pretty good, productive day. I came home and outrageously almost forgot to take a picture of my food before I ate it. 

Following my food coma, I took a three hour nap and am now sharing it with you fine people.

Thanks for hanging out with me today. You're the best imaginary friends a girl could ask for. Byeee!

Welcome Back!

I'm baaaaack!

If you're returning from several months ago I'd like to say thank you for coming back to visit me.

For the newbies,.... why did it take you so long to get here??

Just kidding. 

I needed to take a short little hiatus from this and other forms of social media to really refocus on myself, blah, blah, blah, long story short I'm back. Doing this again. Maybe reactivating Facebook. Maybe not. Not sure yet. 

I guess the best way to get going here is to just catch you up on what I've been doing since March??? (gasp) 

So let's see....

I decided I'm ready to work day shift to get back to sleeping at night and being awake during the day.

Vampire life just doesn't work for me anymore.

We've been slowly but surely finishing the basement to finally have some more living space. Thank you Zack and Dad.

My sister graduated college and has been living with me temporarily while saving up for her own place, which she just found so, yay Aubs.

And I guess, circling back to why I started this thing in the first place, I've been seeing my counselor now for 10 months!

That is the longest amount of time I have ever committed to anything. Period. 

Well, aside from my husband.

I have been doing really well with that for several months now and quite honestly am considering terminating my treatment at the end of this year. Again, we'll see. 

That is also, however, why I was kind of struggling with jumping back in here because I can really foresee that this eating disorder thing isn't going to be such a big part of life anymore. So I guess this is where I should insert the disclaimer that I may not be talking about that as much this go around. I suppose I could just start a new blog but the name More Than a Fork and that cheesy little banner art up top took me more time than I care to admit to come up with, so... I'm staying here. (snaps)

What I can instead offer you are stories/updates about myself navigating this early-to-mid-twenties-quarter-life-crises-of-sorts. 

Wow, that sounds so disgustingly entitled and I think I may have overused the hyphen.

Anyhow, if you've ever drunkenly tried to make a box of macaroni and cheese with your vanilla almond/soy milk or just narrowly walk the line of agoraphobia like myself, welcome and pull up a cupcake. ??

And for the takeaway please enjoy this extremely edited picture of me. Byeee.
