All the pretty things

So, we meet again. I propose we pretend it wasn't that long ago...yeah, let's do that.

I can, however, explain what I've been up to. The fact of the matter is, that moving in with my boyfriend has proven much more of a challenge that either of us had anticipated at first. Set aside my near-crippling ache for back where I used to live, and the fact that it has been exactly a year since I was in the USA, it's the jobhunt that really sucks. Finding work is hard, like, really really hard. Not only beacuse there's not a whole lot to choose from, it's especially mentally draining. But not just for me, it has been a real challenge for my boyfriend as well. And as anyone can predict, that can lead to some unpleasant moment at times (not a lot, thankfully!). But, on the bright side (and there are many, even if I live in one of the most cloudiest places on earth) it has made us stronger, and we appreciate eachother even more than before.

 For me, it has been important to unwind every now and then, get out of the house and just be somewhere else, remind myself that life is much more than work, or in my case: looking for work. But it doesn't have to be anything fancy, as long as we're having fun and enjoying each others company. I like to think we really excel in that :)
