Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my previous post. Each and every one of them made my heart squeal the fact that people who I met via this blog left them makes me happy.
I really don’t have a specific topic planned right now. Currently, I am chewing really minty gum, drinking water, and considering breaking into my mid-afternoon snack which is an orange and a light Mini Babybell cheese (love).
So far, today has been pretty lame and uneventful. My heart is still breaking from events that occurred last week and I am trying to move on instead of think about them (which is hard). My stress level has been high which in turn has made my face look like an STD. I have a huge rash on the bottom part of my face. It’s so huge that every time I’ve seen a co-worker today I say something like, “Hi. How are you? Please excuse the Herpes on my face. Thanks.” I hope it goes away soon and it’s just related to stress instead of something worse.
This weekend, I went to visit Dan in DC. It was super fun although I wasn’t feel that great. I was supposed to have a blind date with Kristen from Puddles of Run but I decided to cancel last minute (NEXT TIME!). I just wasn’t up to socializing with anyone other than Dan, the TV, and a glass of wine.
So, here I am back in Pittsburgh. Honestly, I’m not too happy about that. I need the next chapter of my life to begin. The one where I get a full time job that pays me enough money so I can buy myself a couch. I’m over this chapter of graduate school and internship (at least for now). I need a couch, a boyfriend who is not long-distance, a pet, and a full kitchen. Life is too short not to go after what I want and need.
On that note, I have to remember that life IS too short, indeed. How often do we read stories of people who lost loved ones and we think, “Wow. Life IS short!” We need to live this life to the fullest. Let’s not be angry at each other. Let’s see the positives in other people and realize that everyone IS trying. Their methods may not be the best, but most of the time they have good intentions.
Have a great Monday!
Julie

I’m glad to hear that you’re at least trying to look on the bright side of things. I personally know how hard that can be when it feels like life took a huge crap on you (pardon my french, hehe). But give yourself time to heal. It’s okay to be going through a tough time and being in a bad mood every once in a while. Take this time to focus on *yourself* and what it is you need to do to move on from whatever happened. As cliche as this sounds, time will heal everything, and you’ll look back at whatever you’re going through now as an experience of growth. Best wishes! xoxo G

Girl, this post totally made me burst into tears.
I want to hug you through my computer. Except my computer is pissing me off so I refuse to hug it.
So… big hugs from Indiana! xxo

Can’t wait for the next time you are back! I know the feeling about just needing a break! Always remember that life is short and that you don’t want to wish your life away. I have to tell mylsef this quite often. Before you know it you will have a job and you and Dan will be together all the time again! You will also look back on this time as just a memory! I hope you have a great week!!
Any runs planned for the week? I need to get my act together and get back at it!

I am so glad to hear that I’m not the only one who’s skin flips out when I am stressed! Not that I’m glad it has happened to you, just know you aren’t alone.

I totally agree and I’m jealous you are meeting her!
(Soon at least 
) Good for you for taking a break and I feel like I’m in the same place. Being taken advantage of because everyone else has more experience and stuff. Unfair! You’re almost done though, hang in there

Hope things begin to look up shortly. Isn’t this internship/Pittsburgh thing only one year? It will be over before you know it. <3
