just a few random thoughts...

So this past Saturday, after weeks of halfhearted consideration, 

I finally got around to moving my bedroom around.  

It took the whole day, and I had serious doubts midway, 

but once everything was lovely and done, I was incredibly pleased.  

My desk use to sit by my window, and as lovely as that sounds, 

my window faces fencing… so it’s not really lovely.  

I also like leaving the window partly open 

and I can’t do that if I’m working because then I get too cold.  

My desk now sits against the opposite wall and I’ve posted up pictures 

and posters of things that inspire me so that I can stare at them while working. 

I moved my poster of Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhone at easy viewing distance 

(it was situated high and above my closet before, basically out of my line of sight) 

and that in itself makes me very happy.  

I lose focus easily… 

so surrounding myself with things that inspire 

and remind me of my own aspirations really does help me focus.  

Really, why didn’t I think of this before?

Midterms have come and gone.  

Apart from one essay I have yet to write, I’ve done incredibly well 

and I’m looking forward to devoting a little less time studying and a little more time relaxing.  

That said, I’d like to share the pack of goodies that really kept me going.  

Unfortunately it is mostly carbs and I did gain weight, 

but I’m now back to my veggie loving self and having more time to walk the dogs, 

I’m hoping to lose some of the extra wobble in my wobbly bits. 

With the Christmas holidays just around the corner, 

I may have to pick up a fitness weight & include a few squats/lunges in my routine,

unless I plan on hiding from all the requisite holiday pictures.

But before the Christmas comes Halloween.  

(I’m severely lagging here and have not decided what to dress up as.) 

So I’d like to end this post with this cute couple I came across walking round last week.  

C’est très adorable, non?
