I’ve been meaning to make a new layout for this site for quite some time but I just haven’t had any inspiration to do it. Every time I try I get frustrated and stop. But not having a  look I liked was keeping me from blogging – cause every time I would go to my site I’d think about doing the layout and that would kill any motivation to blog – so I went and found a free theme I liked. This one is very simple and suits me well. I will likely tweak it to make it more personal in the future but for now I’m leaving it alone.

I’ve gotten some good rest since the move which is great. I do still have off days, like right now, where I just feel blah. Joshua and I went over to the park earlier and took a walk down Colley Ave afterwards to see if the coin laundry over there was cheaper than the one at our building (which theirs was a dollar more + blocks away so screw that). I kicked around the soccer ball with Josh at the park, but after about 30 minutes there my allergies were in full swing.

All this pollen is hurting me bad. I have to take meds about every 4 hours to keep it at bay and even then I’m still itchy. My nose/throat/ears and even the skin around my mouth itch sooooo bad! Popped pills a few hours ago and my lips and soft pallet are still somewhat itchy. It’s very annoying. The only good thing is that it rains a lot here so it’s helping take the pollen out of the air, which I am very thankful for (I loved rain before but knowing this makes me love it even more!).

We’re still really enjoying the apartment and we’ve tried a few places over on Colley Ave now because it’s a short walk to get there. I can just imagine how much different things would be if we had just moved into a place near here instead of buying the house, but oh well. We’re enjoying it while we can. (I honestly don’t think we would have hated living here as much if we’d have lived here in Ghent rather than elsewhere in the city)

Tonight we’re biking down to the mall to see the midnight premiere of The Hunger Games. I bought the tickets last week and have been super excited about getting to see it tonight. I’m hoping it stays in the theater for a long time (I highly doubt it won’t) so that I can see it again with my sister when I get to Texas.  I’m going with the expectation that there will be bits and pieces missing of course, just like I have with every other book to movie experience, but I am feeling very positive about it being wonderful.

And tomorrow night marks the return of Fringe, my favorite t.v. show <3 I’ve never been so addicted to a show as I am to Fringe. I will be very sad when it is no longer around.

Just over three weeks till I say farewell and good riddance to Hampton Roads. YAY! :P
