#82

"I bow to realize that the object of love and longing is life."

This morning was a unique start of the day. I slept over at my friend's place and the first thing we did in the morning was hitting the gym. It felt really nice being back at the gym and I cannot wait to go back to my old routine living in downtown. The mortgage payments are stressing me out, but I have plenty of cash to survive the next two months so I am going to focus on re-establishing my routine for now. Maybe after a month or so, I will look into rental situations.


Rest of my day was just getting to know the house a little better, and cleaning portions of the house. The house is VERY old, but it is certainly liveable. The whole part of me getting this house was to learn how to be a homeowner, so I should not complain that there are problems.


My way of unpacking today was a definition of me. I begin taking on way too much responsibilities at the beginning, such as opening up ALL the boxes to unpack, instead of getting things done portion by portion. And then I end up being overwhelmed, or simply run out of time to finish everything. This is a very different approach from my girlfriend's, which seems to be way more effective and less stressful. That being said, I am not going to open up any more boxes tomorrow, and am just going to finish off what I started.
