rosewritesI guess I'm on a once-a-week writing streak. I wanted to write earlier this evening, but then my feelings weren't as intense, and it lessened my desire to write. But I thought about how I always feel so satisfied after articulating things in writing, so I am doing this anyway.
Tried Jerry's Grille for breakfast today. It didn't live up to the hype. The food was a little bland, and the place felt dirty. It also had a stale/sour bar smell -- gross. But I'm glad I got to try it.
Went to a nearby park afterward. It is expansive, and I love it. I can't wait to go back. It has a 1.75-mile path.
The afternoon was relatively lazy, until I finally gathered the strength to meal prep. Going back to the office tomorrow, I wanted to have some food available so it's one less thing to worry about throughout the week. I made creamy garlic pasta with roasted veggies, from Workweek Lunch.
Last week, I went to yoga for the first time in about six months. It felt incredible, and I hope to pick up the habit again. Lots of things have fallen by the wayside, and I guess this is a good lead-in to part of the reason why (which I intended to blog about forever ago and haven't had a chance to).
We bought a house! We moved on Nov. 5 and closed a month prior. Ever since our offer was accepted, we've been nonstop with projects on the old house, and after we closed, we have been nonstop with projects on the new house. It's been exhausting, but worth it. We did take a few weekends off in December because we had exceeded our capacities to handle everything on our plates. I love the house -- I have a yoga/writing room and he has a football/music room. The kitchen leaves a bit to be desired, but I plan to remodel the entire thing. The backyard is stunning and even has orange and lime trees (and I think, avocado)! And our neighborhood is even better than what we could have hoped for. I love walking to the boat ramp. We had to take action immediately when we saw this house listed, and I'm so glad we did. I love our new home.
Our old home also went on the market the weekend before Christmas. We got 20 offers! We are in escrow with a buyer and hope it all works out.
This feels like a really uninspiring entry, but I guess it's good just to note some of these life events even if I am not inspired to expand on all the details right now.
