But I'm Not Dead Yet!

Good morning! Its been a while. I don't mean to ignore this blog, and with working part time I certainly can't say I'm too busy. I'm just boring.

But! All that has changed lately. Ready for a quick recap?

- Got health insurance due to the new healthcare bill. Because I'm under 26 I was able to jump on my dad's plan at no cost. Enjoyed that for about 3 weeks before my dad got laid off. I will be uninsured again shortly.

- Went home 2 weekends in a row. Had a great time but will never drive that much again.

- Started house shopping for real. Realized we can't afford anything we want to live in around here. Started condo shopping instead. Am not thrilled.

- Have to get a full time job to pay for a condo I don't want to live in. I'll work 200 hours a week to pay for a house but damn it I don't want to work 1 to pay for a crappy little condo.

- Worked on "appreciating what I have". Failed.

- Still haven't gotten into grad school. Still haven't figured my life out. Still waiting.

- Loved LA. Hated LA.

- Running a half marathon in less than 2 weeks. Super excited. Almost ready - ran 11 last week. Long run this week will be 12 to 13 and then I'll start tapering for the big race!

- I've always wanted to run the Boston Marathon. Looked into that and realized a qualifying time for my age is just over a 7 minute mile. Thought, "shit".

- Home caught on fire. Brother is stupid. I like him anyway.

I have some amazing stories to share - ok, 1 amazing story and a few boring ones - but that's going to wait for another day. I'll try to be better about posting this month, which shouldn't be too hard with all the stuff that's going on right now.

Happy May!
