Things I Am Loving and Hating

This past week has been a roller coaster of emotions for me. One day I’m depressed, the next I am excited and positive. Here is what is driving me crazy and what’s keeping me sane.


I Hate…

• That Derek and I are both losing our jobs. We work at the same place and there is an unusually low amount of work, so A LOT of people are being let go.

• The GIANT pile of dirty laundry that is taking up my bedroom. Seriously, there has to be at least 80 pounds of laundry that has to be done. Talk about Clothes Mountain.

• That my running motivation has been very sub-par this week. When stress hits, all of my gumption goes out the window.

• When a company won’t even give you and interview! Seriously, my resume isn’t THAT bad. Rude.

• That people feel the need to CHECK IN at every single place they visit. Chill out, I don’t care that you are at the gas station.

This. I hate that this exists, it’s disturbing and really sad. I got really mad over it yesterday.

• That Derek might not be coming to DC next month. Who knows what his job situation will be like?

I Love…

• The support we have around us while searching for new jobs. Co-workers and friends have really stepped up to help us look for work, it’s definitely helped ease with the stress.

• That I have a 3 day weekend! My nephew was supposed to come down this weekend to visit, so I took Monday off to extend his trip. Unfortunately he isn’t coming anymore, but now I have an open 3 day weekend! What to do? I am considering finally painting our bedroom.

• That I still have 3 of these delicious cupcakes left.

• Cadbury Mini Eggs are out!
• That we finally have our wedding photos and they are amazing! Now, I can truly write a wedding recap.
• That my small bout of depression/anxiety over this job situation is over. It was like night and day on Wednesday and Thursday. I woke up on Thursday feeling 100 times better than I did the day before. Things can only get better and I am looking at getting a new job as a positive opportunity.
• That it’s almost Spring! Happiness is just around the corner and I can’t wait to feel that sense of renewal and energy that comes from it.
• The Rock n Roll USA Half in DC is only 3 weeks away! I am so excited, it’s going to be such a fun race and trip. I am crossing my fingers Derek will be able to come!
•This picture makes me very happy. I still can’t get enough of our wedding :D
