Tia and Maria

Travelling again,
I know exactly how its gonna end.
The routine daydream starts as I get off,
I’m holding up the queue,
Just cause my ticket wont go through,
I know it though be simple,
But its not.

So dont take my photograph,
Cause I dont wanna know how it looks to feel like this,
As cars and people pass I feel I’m standing still,
But I know.

I’m just moving uncomfortably slow.

(Will start to look for a new job in Saltaire when I get home. May as well since *fingers crossed* we’re looking to live there!)

This Monday has been so much fun!

We’ve finally had some decent weather!! Joe had ANOTHER job interview, so we thought we’d go a bit early because it’s in a nice place. We had ice cream and a chill on some grass outside our potential new flat (fingers crossed cause I LOVE it!!). Then he went and did his thing, and I went to the park.

I chilled there for a bit, just taking in sights and sounds and thinking up some lyrics and that kind of thing. And a reeeaaaally adorable little Spaniel came up to me, and her name was Keeley and she was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. She was soaking from the river, but we hung out until she had to go. But it’s been so nice just catching up again.

When we went to see the potential new flat, and I spent the whole day skipping around in a bit of a dream being all “lalalaaaa I want to live here” so I tried to keep myself a bit more grounded and had a look round, I also tried to see any downsides to living there and what might be an issue…but I love the flat, there’s a doctors surgery at the top of the road (I’m ill aaaall the time, so that’s handy!), they have stock-up-your-freezer deals at the butchers for £20 (which is awesome cause even though I’m veggie, it has eggs and things like that in it so everyone’s happy!), there’s a green grocers, where I can buy cherries and strawberries and all sorts, there’s a canal with a walk path that I could run on. I just really want to live there! It’s perfect. It’s exactly the kind of place I wanted to move up here for.

Also, I just had a call from my new boss and he wants me to work all day tomorrow. That’s a nice £50 to put towards the flat (or my trip home!)

Yay!!

If your Monday wasn’t all you’d hoped it’d be, here’s an owl who doesn’t give a fuck.

I’m just going to write this post with no actual direction…so, yeah :D

Joe had an interview this morning, and I had work an hour later so we caught the same train into Leeds and I walked him to his interview and just grabbed a coffee and sat around for an hour.

While I was sitting around I realized that I don’t really often just hang out with myself. There’s usually distractions like the computer, or the xbox, or my phone, or a book. So when I found myself practically alone with my own thoughts for the first time in ages, I thought I’d get some serious thinking done.

I never realized how hard actual thinking is…I got stuck on the first question! I thought I’d try and figure out exactly what it is I need. I don’t mean things like more white shirts for work, or razors, or my wage, or some better shoes, or my camera charger from home, or to book tickets to Wales, or to sort my flat out. But what is it that I actually need to make me happier.

And it totally boggled me.

I get ill pretty much every other day. I had some problem’s with food when I was much younger, due to some psychological damage, and it lead to stomach problems. Just minor stomach aches and feeling ill. But while I was exercising regularly, when I was training with the circus and kiteboarding and doing yoga and pole fitness and Zumba, I didn’t used to feel it that much.

The only thing that’s really bothering me at the minute it my relationship with food, and my emotional state due to lack of exercise.

So that is definitely what I need! I need to go for a run, I need to go back to Yoga, and Zumba, and that will help my relationship with food and will help me feel a bit more energetic. Going for a job before or after work always seems like a good idea.

Note to self: bring running shoes from Wales!

So, though it may not be the answer, I’ve figured out what I need for now! If you can’t make time to hang out with yourself, then next time you find yourself chilling out with no distractions, definitely ask yourself what it is you need. Because I feel a little bit like a weight’s been lifted now, enough though I knew I needed more exercise, it’s nice to feel like I’ve addressed an issue!

Love and learning!

Good day at work!
So glad after last weeks mess ups! My hands smell like limes, and chilli, and herbs, and olive oil…which is actually really nice!

Also, I got to finish two hours early because it wasn’t that busy. AND now I’m going home, getting changed into a nice summery dress and we’re heading to a bbq!

Today is a beautiful day!! :D

Firstly, I definitely owe an apology for the lack of Monday Loving this week!

And secondly, I can’t believe I haven’t had a camera this week! It’s been amazing!

My boyfriend’s band (The Human Project) were playing a gig last night at a thing called Jellyfest. Which is essentially a load of bands playing in a basement for a day. The basement was very very small, much too small for such a loud band and my ears are still mad at me. But the atmosphere was awesome. Joe could barely move without jabbing someone with his bass, and the sound was rubbish but it was a really awesome looking gig, it would have been amazing to film, and Instax pictures would have turned out so well! I hope they play a gig like that again soon, I’m not holding out hope cause in his 10 years of gigging, he hasn’t played a gig like that.

That’s pretty much been the highlight of my week! I love their music, and I genuinely love going to see them live, the people who go to their gigs are really nice as well. It’s been really nice going to Joe’s gigs and having Joe at mine :)

Things that have been super awesome this week!

Gigs: Supporting friends!: Not drinking: Having a laugh with my boss: Having hours at work!: 3 hour Skype sesh with JoeP: The new Random Hand guitarist: Watching Joe play Trials: Feeling sleepy…

So sleepy…

Have a grand Wednesday!!

Love,

Ti :) x
