June Gloom

It has been cloudy lately. The first couple of days of June were nice, but now it's cloudy. Not surprising, but I wish it were sunnier. The clouds make me apathetic and then I just feel pathetic. I had a hard time getting up and going today. I laid in bed for a while and then got up and watched some documentaries and ate my oatmeal with nectarines. I've been good about my eating lately. Correction. I've been good about my morning and afternoon eating. Night times are the worst when I want to snack. And I usually give in. Anyways, I finally got up and got enough energy to go to my dad's office to clean it.

After that I went to Ralphs. Now, I looove grocery shopping (no seriously, I do). I love walking the aisles and deciding what is a good deal and what I can make meals out of. I got a lot of produce again. Mini-watermelons, kiwis, and pineapple were on sale. Also cucumbers, broccoli, and romaine lettuce. I even got canned beets for my salads.

Then I went home and got dinner started for when Doug came home. I made a chicken teriyaki meal. Then we watched Eclipse, then went for an adventure to Target. We walked to the one that's about a mile from our apartment. It was a lot of fun to spend time together. Doug needed more gel for his canker sores, and we figured we could use the walk. We picked up cards also. And Doug let me get two books :)
We also got donuts. haha

So I guess we walked those off on the way home. We figured it might be a good thing that we won't be here when the new Target opens up across the street because we'd be going there all the time for snacks, and justifying donuts because we walked the 100 yards to get there.

We are definitely moving out next month. We got a letter that stated that the price to renew our lease would be $1559 a month. It's ridiculous. It's not even in the best part of town (there's been graffiti in our hallway), we get woken up 3 times a week garbage trucks that empty the 6 dumpsters outside our apartment (which not every apartment has to deal with), we've been on the waiting list for over a year for a single garage, there is always something wrong with some of the gym equipment, and they advertise pilates class, but there are no pilates classes. So I'm really okay with leaving, I just can't believe they think the apartment is worth that much. I'm ready for a new chapter in our life. It'll be fun.

This past week Doug was gone for three days at a convention down in Anaheim. It wasn't as hard as the first time he was away from me, but still was rather lonesome. I had fun hanging out with Allison though on Wednesday. We made foods that Doug doesn't like and watched a movie that he wouldn't have liked (chick flick). I really did miss him though. I was happy when he was home.

I'm still in the middle of my current book, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." It's interesting, but I'm trying to find the point, or the plot line. Maybe I'm not far enough into it yet. Or maybe there isn't one.

I only have one more week of being 22, and then I'll be 23. It really is weird (and rather depressing) how quickly time goes by when you're older. Soon I'll be 30!
