Pressures of Life

This week have by far been the most stressful week that I have had this year. I know that sounds crazy because it only April but it so true. The week started on a good note on Monday but it did not last for long, immediately after walking into my office I was bombarded with a list of projects that needed to be completed by the end of the week along with my weekly projects for school. On top of that when I arrived home on Tuesday, I walked into my bathroom to find water everywhere. I immediately called emergency maintenance who informed me the issue would not be fixed until the next day!!! I stayed up until 4 am because I could not sleep with the constant noise of the water running and fear the my entire apartment would be flooded.

Thank God, I finally received my break today! After a month of failed searching and being overwhelmed by prices, I finally found my perfect apartment. It will require me to downsize slightly but it is a welcome adjustment for the community that I am about to join. I no longer have to worry about a sketchy character approaching me on a routine trip to the grocery store, I know this can happen anywhere but in my current area it is more likely to happen every time I shop. For me this is the most important thing when I am looking at a potential neighborhood. I can't stop smiling or obsessing over the details now I have to deal with the hard part, de-cluttering and getting rid of things that I no longer need. I am such a pack rat so it will be an emotional process for me.

Overall being an adult is much more difficult than I thought, but day by day I am learning that things happen and you have to deal with the good and the bad. although this is not the life that I envisioned for myself as a little girl, I would change any moment of it. I know that the old saying "everything happens for a reason", is completely true and all of my life lessons come in handy.

Until next time. Have a safe and happy rest of you weekend!
