tienes chocolate?

Hey, blog. I keep padding back & forth between this blog and the other, like I feel bad abandoning the blog I so tended to for six years. Is that weird? Does it matter if it's weird?

Going skiing after work! Excited to have after work times open for playtime again. Getting worn down on the hammer of requests that won't stop, so getting up in the mountains is a good way to let the day's frustrations out. Plus it's good to spend time with Alexis, this will be our first after work ski adventure.

My toes are all tappy, eyes are starry from the butterflies in my stomach. It's so great to have met someone who is so fully happy and content with themselves - someone who I feel really mirrors what I want in life and have been looking for. My brain keeps checking in "is this real" and I keep coming back with the same answer: yes.

And I love every bit of it!!

effen insomnia.

Why. Whyyyy. It's a monthly thing but I can't tie it to any habit or event that comes up. Last night was my night of insomnia. Went to bed around 10. Was putzing around the house when my brain said "hey, you're tired. go to bed." So I did, body was exhausted and mind was at rest. But as badly as I wanted to I just could not get the brain to shut off. Work, planning, future, all these things are zipping around in my head and wouldn't turn off. I'm not even stressed about anything - that's the usual culprit.

Typing is hard. Fingers are tripping over each other and my brain is moving slower than they are typing. Try that on for size - it's a weird feeling to have your fingers ready to move but brain hasn't kicked out the content for them yet.

Had an amazing holiday. Life is a complete 180 from where I was this time last year. Love looking back on life as a timeline. I've been told I'm good at that - keeping track of things, pinpointing places and faces to the year or month. Anyway, this holiday was full of snowboarding, smiles, hugs and kisses, swapping and creating of stories, food and drinks... the list just won't stop. It's all good and it all makes me glowing with sunbeams inside. Absolutely love it to death.

Totally putting off the work this morning. Incredibly hard to be motivated when my mind wants to slump back to slumber. Slumper < Is that a word?
