Been A Minute

So it's been a minute. Been a little busy moving across the country, state lines, and then across the county.  Lots going on since the last time I was on here. I am not going to go over all of the details - just some recent info that might interest you.

I am sure as hell NOT going to talk about the Pandemic that is happening in our world. It's already everywhere so I am SURE that you don't want to read about it AGAIN.....so moving forward and upward. 

I decided a few months ago that I am DONE with TV and anything else streaming (for the most part - there are some new things coming out that I do want to see, but that is besides the point).  The point is, I missed reading. It's so calming and relaxing. I am a super slow reader - are you the same? I fall asleep. It's like my eyes just get so heavy - like 10 pound dumbbells or something - and I can't keep them open. It doesn't matter how good the book is either. I just can't. I want to but I just can't. 

I would love to hear what you are reading. Comment below so I can find a new book. I am always looking!

 I clearly don't have enough books (insert my sarcasmic eye roll), even though my B&N credit card is completely maxed out. BUT, did you know that they will send you $25 gift cards! But, honestly, have you EVER, ever in your life, kept it under the gift card amount? I think I did ONCE! Actually I know that I did it once. It was a new book, just released and one of my very good friends had sent me the title and told me how good it was.  FYI, it was AHHHHMAZING! And I couldn't sleep at night for like a week because it was THAT GOOD! It was SUPER Skkkkkkerrrrry! But soooo good!

Because of that, I have a new favorite author! 

By the way, my ADD just kicked in - Have you heard about this? Drunken elephants

I am pretty sure this is my favorite story EVAH! 

My last words of advise for the day:

Be An Elephant! 
💜
Have a fantabulous day! 

Arizona Bound

The past couple of days have been a complete blur! We looked at over 20 houses and a few apartments while visiting Arizona last week. But, believe it or not, we found one! One that the three of us agreed upon. The others will love it as well! NO DOUBT! Pool, grill, bball court, and a veranda. Wow! I am STOKED! 

But now, back in Ohio. Reality! In a matter of weeks - I will be an official Arizonian! (ftr, I will still scream for the Bucks - even though most of the time we don't need to scream...we just win) 

One minute, I am happy with tears, and the next minute, I am sad with tears. I can't believe that this is finally happening!

I am trying to stay positive. Look at the great things that are to come. Example - there is a freakin' BIKE TRAIL next to my house! I mean, it connects to my lot! WHAT! Oh, and I bought a yoga backpack last week. It will hold my laptop, all my other goodies, and my yoga mat. Which means, I can ride my bike to Yoga and to the coffee shop. Again, WHAT! This IS the life I have always wanted. I just didn't expect it to come so soon. Or so far away from everything I know. 

But wait, this is a good thing. I have to stay positive and keep my head high! My family and friends will visit. If I get too homesick, it's an airplane ride away! Only 3 hours and 45 minutes to fly back home! That's IT!

I can do this!
I am going to do this!
And I am going to freaking LOVE this!

My front yard view.....yes, that's a mountain - Camelback Mountain to be specific 

Today Marks a Special Day

Today was a tough start for me. My "oldest" -not by age- client's last day was today. Since I am moving across the country, he has chosen to take this summer to work on his Pelotonia Bike Ride. He is putting miles and miles in on his bike and needs to put his focus there. I had planned on being in the process of moving by June so this isn't a surprise for me. We had already discussed it weeks ago.

But still, it wasn't any easier saying good-bye. He is my friend who I will sincerely miss. We have laughed, we have cried, and we have worked very hard for his health and well-being. He is an amazing man, a true inspiration to the world, and a giver in so many ways to our community. He is a special person who I will always hold dear to my heart.

I am so very anxious to move to Arizona and get started with my new challenges but leaving my family and friends behind is probably going to be one of the toughest moments in my life.
