..has so far consisted of A) work, B) napping, C) a monster energy drink, and D) work..again. But the second time in tonight has reaped benefits for me in the form of tip $$. Which I've decided that I'm going to put all of towards gas for my trip with Lindsay to Portland come March. Of course I'll be putting some of my paycheck money into that fund as well, but I've decided that Jardin's going to have to be extremely unsocial these next few months, work a shit ton, and just put all my tips into a little jar reserved especially for gas. We've got nearly 3,000 miles to drive in getting to Oregon...so. I figure now's as good as time as any to start saving :)
Life is still pretty weird...I'm working things out in in my personal life, and it's still kind of hard. I'm slowly realizing that even if there's only one little part of my life that's going wrong, I shouldn't let it affect the rest of my awesome life at all. My life consists of plenty of amazing people, opportunities, moments, etc., and so to have one small aspect of my life negatively weigh down on everything else isn't fair to me and to my everyday actions.
But in other news, I got an email response back from Tristan Prettyman yesterday, one of my longtime musical inspirations and woman-empowering idols, as well as the newly engaged fiance of Jason Mraz. Two musicians in which I greatly look up to them both. So when I emailed her asking about getting some stickers mailed my way from one of her previous tours and I got an almost immediate response back, it definitely made my day. It's not hard to put a smile on my face, and so receiving her email in the middle of planning my Oregon trip with Lindsay, it put me into an even better mood.
Sometimes it's the small things like an email from one of your biggest inspirations that can help turn your day around, or sometimes it's stepping outside into the beautiful sunshine and breathing in the air and the moment, or sometimes it's getting an A on your final project for a class for which you thought you failed that helps turn even the shittiest day around, or helps get you through the rest of the day when the rest of your life seems to be falling apart.
For me right now, it's the Schoolhouse Rock theme night at work right now with Kara that's helping keep me in good spirits :) I'd say this is a great way to start off the new week and to leave the old week with a smile on my face.
Cheers to life everyone :)
