Hey Friends! How’s it goin?
Last night when I sat down to come up with today’s post, I was so frazzled. I have so much going on in my brain and in my life that my mind couldn’t stay still long enough for me to focus and write.
I couldn’t help thinking that the Thinking out Loud Thursdays series created by Amanda at Running with Spoons was just what I needed to clear my brain. The only problem? I publish posts on Wednesdays. Bummer.
But then I thought, you know what? I desperately need a word dump right now so I’m just gonna do it.
*Cue evil snickering as I broke the golden rule and think out loud on a Wednesday* 
Thinking/Ranting out Loud Thursday Wednesday
1. This week has been a little hellish and I have a lack of food related posts to prove it. I’ve eaten out all week (including breakfast) and I haven’t been to the gym in more than a week. The only things I’ve cooked all week were a green smoothie for breakfast yesterday and a turkey bacon sandwich for dinner. Culinary genius at its best ladies and gentlemen.
2. My last day of work is today and I’m freaking out. I’m excited to go back to school – yes, I’m a weird one – but I’m also afraid of losing that steady income. A girl’s gotta live (read: eat), so hello part time job applications.
3. Still on the topic of work, it’s taking so long for me to wrap everything up. I worked here for 4 months, and I knew my end date when I started. Why didn’t I keep track of what I was doing at every step instead of trying to compile all that info in two days?!? Or yea, my middle names have apparently been changed to ‘Disorganised Procrastination‘. My real middle names are Zakiya Lydia btw.
Of course, I found the time to draw instead of working on all the last minute stuff I actually have to do. What do you think of my Snorlax?
4. I will be homeless in 9 days. I gave up my current lease before I found a place to live because I knew I didn’t want to come back. It’s a really nice apartment, but I’ll have 4 roommates next semester as opposed to the 1 roommate I have right now- and I already take up more than half the kitchen with all my shit. Is it too much to ask for more kitchen space? Apparently, cuz lack of kitchen space is an issue in every other place I’ve seen so far. Yes, there are ways to work around limited kitchen space but this is getting ridiculous.
If you’ve got a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment for rent in Waterloo, with a kitchen like the one above, holla at me.
5. I need a new laptop, like yesterday. My laptop bluescreens multiple times a day. I kid you not. And this has been happening for months. It makes writing posts a pain because the auto save doesn’t happen as quickly as you’d think. Either that or my computer knows the exact second to shut down for maximum word loss. Talented huh?
6. I borrowed my friend’s DSLR to get a feel of using one before I get my own and I’m so intimidated. I jumped from camera phone to the big leagues with no point and shoot in between and I’m way out of my depth. I downloaded the manual but I haven’t had time to read it. Mostly because I’m stressing about 2,3&4 and that damn blue screen is still making untimely appearances.
7. All these things I’m worrying about is making it hard for me to focus on blogging stuff. My social media accounts have been virtual wastelands for more than a week and I’ve had no time to respond to comments. Looking forward to being able to rectify that starting tonight!
8. Finally some good news. I went to Famoso Pizzeria yesterday for a last-week-of-work lunch with some fellow interns. I was prepared to suffer through intense stomach pains due to cheese consumption because hello…pizza. But I looked at the menu and discovered that they have a vegan cheese substitution. And guess what, it freaking melted!!! Day made.
This is a recycled Famoso pizza picture, because I was too busy devouring mine yesterday to take a pic. #sorrynotsorry

For some reason I thought you were in TO Laura…
But yep, Famoso has the best pizza 😀
I’m tired just reading your post. I hope things settled down for you soon and you can start the new school year off with a level head and a place to live 😉

Thanks Stephanie. Still looking but fingers crossed 😀
I hate the blue screen of death! I hope you have a great start to your school year!

Blue screen of death is a very apt description haha
Wow!! You have a lot going on girl!!! Good luck in school, and new apartment and everything else! And personally I think a turkey bacon sandwich IS culinary genius.
Thanks Danielle! And glad you approve of my mad cooking skills 😉
Girl, hang in there! Sometimes it feels SO good to have a word dump, so good for you. xoxo

I was about to blow and now I’m not, so I can attest to how useful word dumps can be haha
I just got my new computer two weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. My old one started with the blue screen of death and a year later started only giving me 3 min of use before shutting down. Hope you get a new one soon!

And all of a sudden I’m grateful that all I’m getting is the blue screen. 3 mins of up time would kill me 😮
So many exciting changes! Love it! I used to be all about the routine and comfort, but the older I get, the more I crave something fresh and exciting… to keel things from getting stale, I guess? Good luck with school and apt hunting! And that kitchen… ugh! Can I have one of those too?!?

I usually get on board with change pretty quickly after my initial freak out/ rant period lol
And everyone deserves one of those kitchens 😀
That kitchen is gorgeous!

Thinking on Wednesday?? Unheard of! 🙂 LOVE THIS! i would be so intimidated of that camera too, and you have the prettiest middle names ever!! Mine is Rosalie, but I want 2 now!

haha I like venturing into the unknown.
And thanks, from me & my mother (who is always raving about the awesome middle names she gave me LOL) Rosalie is a cute name too 🙂
p.s. don’t get all excited about the double middle name thing- filling out government forms can be a bitch -_-
Sounds like you have a lot going on! Remember to fit some time in there to relax! :]

I forgot to include it but I definitely relaxed yesterday. Pretty much slept the day away…twas glorious 😀
p.s. checking out your post on landing the job to help in my part time job search!
Even with the pizza being leftovers it still looks good. Never tried vegan cheese before.
