Moving is like Interval Training
Moving! The joys and pains.
I love unpacking. I love trying to best figure out where things should go. I love seeing what I do and don't need. I love buying new things (when I have to). I love the cleanliness of new houses, especially brand new suites that haven't been lived in yet.
I hate the actual moving part. I am good at putting my jeep together like a jigsaw puzzle but it's not fun. I am actually in pain from all the moving and bending and running and lifting. I don't like having to sleep on the floor. I don't like working so hard that I don't want to actually go to work or work out. I don't like knowing how much crap I actually have. I don't like buying new things cuz I don't like spending the money.
All in all, this place is going to be great. It's brand new. It has built in appliances including a dishwasher. It has huge closet and storage space. Tons of cupboards and shelving. A fake fireplace thing - generates heat but doesn't actually burn wood.
I unpacked my kitchen first. Shocker. Not. It's my favourite part. Then the bathroom stuff. I don't have my big furniture yet so I can't really undo the other stuff until I know where I am going to store it all.
Should I put my tv in my room? What should I do with the extra room? Do I bring my couch or do I buy a new one that will better fit in here? Where do I take all the garbage I generated?
I do want to buy a desk though! For sure! i have a 1 year old printer that has yet to come out of the box and a ton of office supply things that I would love a place for. I am not in school but to type on my desk on my laptop rather than my bed would be awesome. So purchases:
- desk
- night stand
- couch (don't know yet)
Other than that I am set. Ready to live in Ocean park and be closer to work. Ready to be super close to starbucks and other grocery stores. Ready to be super close to the ocean and my favourite set of running stairs!
Yay!

26
Greetings!
It appears that I haven't updated this thing in a really, really long time. So since Mar 25 I have discontented my contest prep, for many many reasons. Too many to go into right now. Also I don't want to relive the bad couple weeks that was that week and the few following. Since then I have been working like a mad woman, making tons of money and just living life. Need more excitement though!
I like being 26. I like going to play basketball outside without a care in the world. I like not feeling intimidated anymore when punks and skateboarders and big groups of people are hanging out where I am playing basketball. I like knowing who I am. I don't care what preppy girls think of me. I am an athlete and bodybuilder. I am confident in this.
I am moving back to White Rock in June. My roommate has already moved out. It's fun living alone again. I have this place all cleaned up, organized and I have purged probably half of my stuff to decrease the amount of "stuff" I have. My new place is a ground floor suite in Ocean Park underneath the home of one of my past clients and her 2 sons. The place is newly renovated with a brand new kitchen. There is lots of light. There is a fireplace, an onsite bathroom, a very large bedroom, another spare room/den/extra room, and a good sized living room. I am so pumped to live close to the ocean and my favourite set of stairs!
May brings our family trip to Kelowna and the rest of the summer just points to Jon's wedding in August. Can't wait!
Later days!
