So it's been 2 years since I've spent any time here at all. Covid has been a life sucking force, in more ways than one. I've recently felt inspired to start writing again, in the hope that maybe it will help me move through this pandemic with a more positive attitude and a little more grace. I haven't been kind, I don't like people right now and I'm feeling apathetic 90% of the time. So here we are.
Life has been a series of ups and downs lately. I've been single since last Summer, which is for the absolute best. My relationship was no longer serving me and it was time to move on. Its given me time to learn more about myself, what my wants and needs are and where I want to be in the next few years. So, dating during a pandemic is a good time! It's been a wild ride, meeting new people and navigating through this phase of my life with 2 tweens, who like to be in the know at all times. (There are some things they just don't need to know.) I'm quite content just doing my thing, until the right person comes along. Eventually I'm sure it will happen.
Work has been a source of stress. I don't think it matters where you work or what you do, most people out there would say the same. I'm not used to the feeling of getting up in the morning dreading my day and all it might entail. It's so opposite of how I would normally feel. I love what I do. I just don't love this year and everything that comes with it. As much as we're being told there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm not seeing it. I am so ready for a break, as I'm sure we all are. Less than 2 months to go.
I hope that with a little bit of self reflection, some warm weather and fun, that things turn around for me a little bit. I've always been a Summer kid; Needing to be out in the heat, on the lake with a cold drink in my hand. Get me out of this city and take me somewhere beautiful. If we have nothing else right now, at the very least we have Manitoba lake life. That's always worth looking forward to!
Until next time, I guess.
xo Kris.
