You were a mix of weirdness and surprises and fun. Let's take a look back shall we?
Here are the highlights:
- Went back to the gym
- Paddleboarded my way through the month
- Productive at work
- tried dating again
- House Hunting
I started the month of with a broken heart.... As you know, last month I dipped my feet back into the dating pool and while it didn't turn out EXACTLY how I invisoned it, I am happy that I tried again. I don't know if I am a sucker for punishment or just extremely curious but I tried again and..... you guess it, it didn't work out. womp womp.
I have realized that dating in my 30s is hard and I believe its because the sheer fact that we all have our own routines and rhythms about us so ingrained in us already that its hard to incorporate another person into these quirks of ours. Trying to find a mate that has similar routines and rhythms is hard.
On a bright and fun note. I received at work not one but TWO beautiful bouquets of flowers from two lovely clients that I helped. I didn't do anything above and beyond ( I don't think), I was just kind and put myself in their shoes and realized that this is hard to do. Both clients had the bouquets sent to the office and while the guards downs stairs found it hilarious that I had no idea who sent me the first massive bouquet of flowers they thought it was sweet when i finally stopped laughing (and being slightly worried) and read the card.
I got to spend a lot of time outside this month and that made me so happy. Lunch time walks, SUPing the river, sitting in my backyard (as I write this post), and the beach. This year, more than ever, I have embraced the outdoors and the calming effects of it. Life is hard, we all know that but being outside, at least for me, makes me calm and reflective.
We spent Father's Day outside at the beach and it was honestly the perfect day. Over the past year, I have grown to love and appreciate my parents even more. Their sacrifices and what they have done to make the life we have now is pretty impressive.
Another fun/exciting/scary thing I did this month was started house shopping again. One morning while perusing Redfin, mama and I found a house that looked too good to be true. We just had to see it. My agent was able to get us in to see it that day and while whoever did the photoshopping, should win an award, the house was a hot mess express. I get it, real estate everywhere is CRAZY but this was rough. My parents and I learned a new term, yankee basement. A yankee basement is not something I want nor should anyone actually want.
So two things didn't work out this month- dating and house hunting. I think by the end of the month, I just laughed. How could I have such bad luck?! Well, I guess these things weren't for me and that is okay!
My favorite thing this month....going back to the gym for the first time since March 2020. Was it weird, yes! Was it fun and did I miss it, YES! It was nice to see the old cast of characters and how the gym really didn't change. Did I waddle the first week because I was so sore and not used to work out, YES but did I care, nope!
June, what the crap? HA! I guess every month cannot be amazing. Looking forward to see what July brings.
