The Big Changes to Come

Hey friends. Yeah last night I posted this blog about my total weight gain for the year, 50 pounds. Somehow in the back of my mind, I was telling myself that I didn't deserve to wake up in the morning. Like I was going to die in my sleep. Dark eh? Well, I was blessed with waking up today and its a chance for a fresh new start. Believe me, I don't look at that lightly. I do feel a certain change and a "Alright, prove it then" from the universe. But hey, I did it before, I can do it again and go further! After I type this blog I am going to go out for a walk. It all begins now. I'm tired of living this way.

Starslam 2 is still in progress. I have three pages left to color and then words to happen. I have a timetable in my head of when it will be done. Don't worry. You will see it very soon!

This past weekend I had my boys overnight. We all had fun together. 

After that I drug my ass out of the house to enjoy some drinks at my friend Crystal's house. I met her roommate and his GF and they are awesome people. I drank waaaaaaaaaaaay too much and ended up passing out. Then got up at 6am, vomited outside and then headed home to sleep some more. I was messed up all day. 

Screwdrivers and Schnapps. Shut ups!

This little girl kept me company at Crystal's house. Man, I want a cat!!

This week I signed a lease to a new apartment. Its a one bedroom back in East Lansing, the other side of town from where I am now. I started back in January 2015 moving there, and then moved here to Grand Ledge on the west side of town in July. And now in August I am moving back. Same lower level, building across from the one I was in before.

When I lived there I didn't really get to enjoy it much. I was nursing a broken heart and working two part time jobs, getting no sleep. I had no bed or TV to speak of. It basically was like a storage unit for my stuff and my life. I was honestly barely there. But toward the summer I started to enjoy it. I had one or two days off where I spent time at home working on stuff and jamming to records. I opened the window and took in the breeze and jammed out. Its a small one bedroom place but plenty for me. I found that I missed the apartment and the area. East Lansing is where MSU is. Younger folks. More shopping and cool culture to see. Grand Ledge is super nice but away from the hustle and bustle. I could use a bit of noise in my life. Thats why I decided to move back. I looked around for other apartments but this one just seemed right. So I am going back. 

Here's the sample living room from their site. Mine will look similar.

A small--ish bathroom, but its all you need.

Only "complaint" I have about the apartment is that the kitchen isn't that great. Cabinets are old and no dishwasher. But honestly, thats ok. At my size I don't need to be spending lots of time in there anyway. Just stock up on some fruits and veggies and get it done!

Sample bedroom. I got a queen size bed now that will fit in there nicely. No more sleeping on the couch like I did when I lived there last year! I will have a real bedroom! When I lived there before I didn't even use the bedroom. This time, I hope I will. All sorts of shit is gonna go on in there! Naughty shit... like reading and sleeping! HA!

I've already started helping Misty pack her stuff so she can move it to Detroit. I'm happy to help and it gives me something to do. I probably won't start packing my stuff until, probably June. I'll keep my stuff out and try to enjoy the time I have left here in Grand Ledge.

This next time I will have all new matching furniture and an actual adult looking design scheme. This one is all me. No compromise. I'm avoiding thumb tacked posters on the wall. Everything in frames! That is as adult as I can get. Actual matching furniture and decor. Clean slate, fresh start. Every apartment I've ever had I shared with a roommate or a significant other. This time its all me and I'm in a good head space to make in truly MINE. So let's see what I can come up with.

I'm excited for the move. I'm excited for the changes I'm going to do with my dieting. Its about time I grew up a bit and got rid of this shit that has plagued me for too long.

BUT - I can sit here and type it all day long. Its time I go out there and make it happen.

OFF I GO!
