Journal Entry #4

Some highlights from my life right now:

1. Guess who's the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding? I've known for several months, but it still makes me so excited that I want to scream. I'm her maid of honor; I get to help plan her wedding; I get to plan the bachelorette party. It's so stressful and so exciting guys.
2. The boi and I have been dating for two months. It's so dumb to say, and it's almost certainly because of how new everything is, but I can't stop thinking about him; I bring him up all the time to everyone, and I'm surprised no one's called me out for being annoying. I've never been in a serious romantic relationship before, and it's almost overwhelming sometimes.
3. I'm trying to relearn how to read as a hobby. When I was a teenager, I could read for hours at a time; nowadays, it's hard to read for more than fifteen minutes. I still read a lot; it's just much more sporadic.
4. The same goes for writing. I just didn't have a lot of creative energy when I was working in kitchens, and now that I no longer am, I just feel so much more... energy.
5. I also kind of want to volunteer? I don't know if I actually will, but I'm collecting a list of places I could give an hour or two a week at, and I'll probably start following up on them Wednesday. (Not tomorrow, though; tomorrow the Boi's coming over, and the day's going to be all about us learning to make tacos)
6. The sun's out today, and I've had a pot or two of coffee, and I'm avoiding doing laundry, and I feel so *good*. It's going to be a good day.
