Embracing Adventure: A Glimpse into the Life

Complete rawness from day one. No masks here. It is what it is, as someone told me one day.

You ever just sit there and think, holy smokes, how did this all happen? Let's see - if we reverse things all the way to the womb, some things are clear. But we're gonna start from today, let's work backwards and once it makes some sense, we'll come to the present.

This morning? I woke up later than I wanted to. Still early, it was a little before 7am. But it wasn't the time I would have preferred to wake up. That late evening frozen matcha last night worked. Kept me up late. I was SUPPOSED to have put it up to delight in it's green, grainy, creamy goodness this morning. Story of my life. What I was SUPPOSED to do. What a joke.

Anyways, so here I am. Waking up later than usual. Laundry basket looks like it could suffice for a load. Or another day might make it worth it. Let's think about this. I have the choice of today or tomorrow. I know what today should look like, I have no idea what will happen between today and tomorrow and I'm old enough to know better. Bam, clothes go in the washer. Bam, they get washed, dried and put up. While I also take out trash, make breakfast, feed the dog, water my fat aloe baby. By the way, if you've never tried it (and maybe this is a one-off but I think there's solid science behind it), water your plants with Pedialyte every once in awhile. If you get the same results I did, you'll have some fatties to put a smile on your face.

So, laundry, breakfast checked, dog taken care of, the whole nine yards. According to me, that is. Younger me would have included a five mile jog and been awake at 5am for it, but this is mid-thirties with a messed up back and an appendix and gallbladder out. This isn't my prime.

The rest of the day was uneventful, a basic Monday. MBA report, done and dusted. Two classes left and I'll be free for a semester, hopefully. Emails, addressed. Restaurants I've been helping open - on track. A single highlight, if we so dare to call it. A conversation with my sister, who's been living in Europe for some time. Seeing my niece and nephew is a mini-win.

Since this is my first post, let's get to the point. I started this blog as my online journal, of sorts. But also, because I've done so much and met so many great people - I think my experiences and things I've had to spend significant money and time on - you might get for free. Just follow along. Enjoy your life. Things are usually fixable. If not, it wasn't meant for you and there's more adequate things up ahead. Don't sweat it. EVERYONE goes through it. Rich, poor, skinny, fat, ugly, pretty, white, black - life doesn't discriminate.

Slainte and good night!
