Snap BACK to reality

 Snap BACK to reality...

    There's nothing like vacation-especially, baecation. But the downside and possible worst part is the coming back. The apartment's a mess, I somehow still have laundry to do even though I swore I just did it, bills are coming in which means work has to kick it up a notch. I wish I could stay in that little vacation bubble, suspended in time between a dream and reality. Now it's back to Boulder's unpredictable weather and the long draining drive to and from work with little to show for it most of the time and the equally draining act of work itself. The daily tasks and to-do's feel easier when snow isn't constantly on the horizon and paychecks are low because of that always impending weather (that's what I get for working in Rocky Mountain); Winter sucks. 

    I need to remember the hills and valleys of life, as cliche and gross as it is to iterate such a mantra. I've been in a slump, which is probably as obvious to the blind reader left with open gaps as it is to me. I hate this feeling of self-pity and no motivation because the voice in my head, my other me, the girl I see in the mirror and my closest confidant is saying, "Get over it, girl. We have goals, unfortunately." She's annoying sometimes but she's usually right. Not to be schizophrenic, merely introspective. So, with a long sigh and the only motivation I have being that thing's usually get better, here's to spring!
