hello all, sorry for the delay in updates 
I’m currently sat watching tv for the first time in a while (it takes a lot for me to find the motivation to sit down and engage with it)
I’ve had a busy week. really ust a busy few months. I moved into a new place at the start of august andn enoy spending time at home so much more. My first weekend after movig, I left for the weekend to visit a friend from college and had the best time catching up. A few weekends after that, I took a trip back to the pnw and got to see old friends and family which was so fulfilling. the end of my trip took me up to leavenworth, Wa for my second friendly reunion (!!!) I had the best time and felt like it allowed me the space to reflect annnd see what I needed more of in my daily life. Upon returning to richmond i signed up for adult gymnastics classes annd recreational volleyball. I haven’t been super consistent with gymnastics because its from 8-10 pm and thats super late whenn I take my 7am work start time into account. volleyball has been consistent annd veryyyyyyy fun though which is great to live through.
This past week was chaotic for me. I got a flat tire onn wednesday and disn’t have a chance to patch it before needing to drive to work so it ended with me ending to replace the tire[(s) *GULP*] amonng other problems that the va state inspection brought to light. simply, friday was lengthy and expensive but I must PERSEVERE I guess. I, on my own, CHANGED my car battery, ENGINE air filter, and cabin air filter to hopefully avoid future problems. hoping for the best here.
my daily life here feels monotonous so i never want to update too much. I’ve started a secod job (as a production ASSISTANT for a pastry chef…v fun) but am trying to plan more small weekend trips to see friends. I’m looking forward to, and SIMULTANEOUSLY trying to figure out, my future.
thanks for READING!
