I have decided that if I move again..I want an apartment with hardwood floors. I have this perfect apartment in mind..that I am quite sure I will be unable to find in Lexington..and if I were to find it, I would not be able to afford it. I want an apartment that is perhaps in an older home or building..that has been fixed up. So..I would like the hardwood floors, huge windows, french doors, old fashioned bathtub..but also new nice appliances and nice counter tops. Yes, this is what I want. How cool would it be if I could just purchase an older place and fix it up to my likings? Yes, it would be cool, but expensive and not practical. A friend of mine is moving out of this one older home and it is just making me fall in love with the idea. An older home that I could make part of my studio..if it was partitioned correctly. One of those little places closer to downtown..which would make it good for business. Like I said..not practical though..and too expensive.

I have discovered that evidently I do have lots of friends and plenty of things to do now that I have normal hours.:-) Every day since my new schedule has started I have had something to do..it's a bit crazy. Of course last night I elected to stay home. I was so tired from the week..so I came home and caught up on all of my television shows and was in bed well before 11pm. Yes, can you believe I was in bed that early? Really..that was a struggle. I would like to have crashed by 8pm to be honest. Anyways, I am finding myself in better spirits since I am regaining a social life. I had dinner with friends, hung out with friends, went to Bible Study, helped a friend move, etc. etc. It is nice to be able to have a life again. I think that my schedule was affecting me more than I realized. And you know this may just be an influx of things to do because everyone realizes I am suddenly available at normal hours, but I am hoping that it will continue to be like this. Maybe a little less busy:-) but still seeing and visiting with friends. It is good for me...you know I am such a extrovert so I strive off of social interaction. It is good for the depression too: stay busy and interacting. I am preparing to jump in the shower and get ready to go to dinner with friends. Tomorrow a movie and a super bowl party at Lisa's. Busy, but fun. Good for me definately.

6 months. This is the new rule that Stacey and Nick have proposed for my healing and well being. No dating for 6 months roughly. And by dating..well they mean pretty much an significant contact with the male species. It is not really hard to begin this as I have pretty much removed all barriers as of current. Of course I have imposed some exclusionary criteria...of which are still being debated. For instance, does it only count within the country, etc. :-) I may take a trip to Europe in a few months..Ireland...Italy..not completely sure yet, so we must make sure we are clear on all the guidelines. I may fall in love in Venice and never return...who knows. And well I love Ireland the country in general so all it would take would be one wink from some Irish lad and I would be gone forever.:-) However these are considerations with the 6 month rule. I haven't decided if I am going to contract to this option, however either way I know that I need to take a break from dating and my heart needs to heal so that one day I can have it to give again. Anyways, let's all ponder on this.
