Mediocracy at it's Finest.

So, my last post was, perhaps, less than "sunshine, lollipops and rainbows". I was about to apologize, but I think I did enough of that already. You get the picture; life is a bit different now. I do, however, apologize if anyone read my last post and went into crisis mode, under the impression that I have become a depressive homebody. This, is NOT the case, let me reassure you. Dramatic at times, yes, but far from an under melancholic existence!

With that written and done with, my days have somehow managed to fill up, despite unemployment and very little to do outside my apartment. I have been baking up a storm, which is perhaps not the safest thing to do while by yourself. Someone needs to tell me to quit sampling my creations and to start doing a few more crunches. But what kind of aspiring chef would I be without a taste here and there...and maybe a bit more here, and I think I need to try that again too! It has been an excellent week for baking, something I enjoy doing, despite my loathing of having to follow any given recipe. Granted, it always seems to taste better when I do stick to the recipe. Go figure, or rather, there goes my figure. See what I did there; yeah, I thought it was clever too!  

I've taken up practicing guitar a lot more now as well. I pity any of my neighbors who are privy to my constant failed attempts to properly play an F chord. "F" you, F chord, I say! It certainly is a workout for your fingers, moving up and down, curling in the most unnatural positions. How have I never noticed before the beautifully sculpted fingers of performing guitarists? 

 

 

As I was saying...

So, that's been a thing. Also, bought a ukelele, which I intend to master like a boss. Who says "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" won't give me the street cred I will eventually deserve? Everyone, but that's besides the point. Nah, it's been fun playing it, though I do need to re-tune it every time I bust it out. I can say one thing for sure, I am going to be a freakin' hipster babe this summer strolling around with my ukelele in tow. Take that, World!

Immensely looking forward to visiting friends and family this upcoming week. Trying to mentally prepare myself for a bit of a shock to return "from whence I came", but it shouldn't be as frightening as I'm currently envisioning it to be. 

Plans are up in the air right now. It's all a little bit hazy, the future. I know what I would like to do; it's how to get there that I need to figure out. But, there's still time for that. For now, let them eat cake! And what's dessert without a show to accompany it? Hang on while I find a song that doesn't use an F chord...
