I'm thoroughly beat up today. I switched my training schedule this week and quite frankly, I'm bruised, raw knuckled (if you don't believe me give a look at my Instagram photos documenting the week), and just overall sore. So as I lay here wishing for a hot tub to miraculously appear, I want to take a few minutes to project to the things that I'm really looking forward to in the close future. I'm doing this because all I've been hearing about lately is Valentine's Day, dances, and things for couples to do and I want to just kind of dwell on how happy I am by myself right now. Yes, I mean that. I'm enjoying concentrating on myself so unless some random perfect guy that I haven't met yet drops out of nowhere then I'm pretty sure I'm going to just keep my single status. Oh, and if the hot tub shows up before the guy, I'm totally keeping the hot tub and not even giving him a second thought.
I'm kind of in awe at how quickly January has flown by already. The days have been packed with training sessions, Krav classes, studying for my NASM exam, planning our move, general errands, & spending time with my daughter.
February is going to bring an exciting baby shower for a friend of mine. I'm pretty excited to mark this on the calendar because this is her third child and I have yet to be able to attend a shower for her. It's marked in Sharpie & I'm going. No matter what. Valentine's weekend will be spent with my cousin. 50 Shades of Grey comes out so there we will sit, wishing the movie had an NC-17 rating instead of an R rating because really...well, if you've read the books then you'll get it. The 15th will mark what would have been my 2 year anniversary with my ex so I'm looking forward to a great girls weekend and I'm happy to not have any drama in my life at the moment! The end of February brings my trip out to LA for UFC 184 which is sure to be one of the most exciting weekends of the entire year. I'm meeting Ronda Rousey for crying out loud and getting to hang out with her so you really just can't beat that.
March sees me going down to scope out our new living quarters. I'm checking out schools, gyms, grocery stores, and general location to see if it's going to be right for us. I also have a 5k I'm doing and then I'm back out to CA for the NAGA (grappling) tournaments out there!
April is Spring Break and my daughter & I have a Color Run we're doing together! First one of the year! Yay!
May has me traveling to FL for Krav Instructor Training for a few days. I may just add a couple days on for beach time. Because...well, it's the beach.
June is a 5k here in town and we're moving
July...who knows
August is the much looked forward to annual beach week with my cousin & her family!!!! I am SO excited about this bc we had a blast last year!!
September sees me in Vegas for my 2nd annual TVD Convention (hopefully we go early so we can actually have time to explore this year)
October is my daughter's birthday
November I'll be out in CA AGAIN for the Tinkerbell Marathon
And December...well, who knows. But, it IS Christmas so that's a plus. :)
There's a few more runs and races incorporated into that craziness but for now, I'm feeling happy with one day at a time, strengthening myself, and spending time with my munchkin. I have some friends out in CA I'd like to spend time with if possible when I'm there too! I really hope this year does slow down a little bit and maybe I can catch some concerts here and there or something. Who knows? I'm sure there will be ups and downs but as last year proved, I KNOW I can get through anything at this point and come out on top. So here's to being single, loving life, and not having any regrets. Cheers.
