I think a lot of times when I’m not posting as frequently (a.k.a. lately), when I come to write a post I tend to have word-vomit. Like there are so many things that I want to catch you up on that I just start spewing random shit and then you get done reading my post and you’re like, wait, what?

So I’m going to keep doing that, because I really DO want you all caught up on my totally-boring, internship-driven life and have no better way of doing it than word-vomiting all over your computers. Sounds pretty delicious huh? Yea I thought so.

Anyway, today I’m in a decently good mood, and I’m not quite sure exactly, but I have a few ideas of why that might be…

Number 1: We moved. Obviously. I told you about that when I last posted but seriously it’s just as amazing as I had expected. No longer do I have to share a bathroom with a 24-year-old-doesnt-clean-anything-man (that’d be my boyfriend), I now have my own! Ok I’m making him look bad, if I’m really being honest with myself, I’m the slob in the relationship. My hair products and makeup are thrown all over the bathroom, with cords from hair tools tripping him every step he takes. My bad. Anyway, aside from having my own bathroom, we also have this gorgeous view of an intercoastal river and golf course now that we have a balcony. I’m currently sitting outside, sipping white wine and watching retired men and/or rich business men get their weekday golf-fix. Ah, life.

Number 2: My rotation. Also mentioned in my last post, but if you missed it, I’m in week 2 at the eating disorder facility. Not only do I love this because it’s an area of interest for me in nutrition, but my preceptor is great and so it the environment. Everyone is much more relaxed (I mean, compared to in a hospital), and instead of having at least one person wondering where I am and what I’m doing all the time, they actually give me responsibilities to stay on top of and don’t really care what I do otherwise. This afternoon, there was about 2 hours between two new admissions and the dietitians didn’t have sessions for me to observe, so I sat on a comfy therapy couch and read a book about mindful eating to pass the time. If that doesn’t sound like a good way to spend a Tuesday afternoon then I just, I don’t know.

Number 3: Vaycay next week! Kidding, kind of. My internship follows the same schedule as the university it is tied to, and next week is the spring break. I know, a little late, right? Whatever I’m not complaining, I get a week off! Also, my parents will be here next Wednesday for a long weekend so I’m excited to see them and take them around doing fun things, maybe driving down to Key Biscayne state park or even up to West Palm for this art festival thing. There will also be lots of restaurant-eating, so I’ll have a few good meals to fuel the inner-foodie in me. Trust me I’ll be posting on that as well.

Number 4: I just went grocery shopping. Ok call me freaking-crazy but I love a good grocery trip. So maybe I spent too much money this time, but I was like floating through the produce section just grabbing things that looked colorful and delicious. A giant bag of mini sweet peppers? Yum. This means I’ll be eating good food for the next week, and I’m happy pretty about that. Oh and the no dairy thing is going pretty well, and I’m already noticing some differences. I’ll do a post on that next week too (wow.. lots of promises I must follow through with).

Number 5: The weather. Wait did she really just bring up the weather, is she that dull? No. I’m not dull. It’s been nasty and rainy for at LEAST a week now and today is the first completely sunny day that we’ve had, and the humidity finally broke, and it is just faaaaaabulous. I know, poor me, living in Florida is such a drag right…

Life is good. And you know what, sometimes you just have to forget the past and forget the future and realize what you have right now, right in front of you. Stop worrying about things you don’t have control over, and start loving what you’ve got. This is so preachy it hurts, but just trust me on this one… there is always something to smile about.

What was so great about your day?
