The Sunday Evening Post.

Everything seems to be running rather smoothly over the past few days. Chad left on Friday afternoon, which was a lot harder on me than I had anticipated. Upon his request, I stayed one last night with him on Thursday, which may possibly be our last night to spend together forever. It was very sweet, we slept on a sleeping bag with homemade blankets and a bunch of pillows with a space heater going to keep us warm. He had sold the bed earlier that day which explains the make-shift bed. I hated saying goodbye. I cried so much and although I've spent nearly a month & 1/2 living apart from him, it hurt me so much more knowing he wasn't going to be here in Arizona for a while. I'm glad he at least made the best decision for whats going on in his life currently, but I can't help but feel a little selfish wanting him to be back here. It seemed like I had just started a new chapter in my life, that brand new "I'm on my own now, free from my parents in all regards" and suddenly there comes yet another chapter without even really finishing the previous one. I'm hoping with this new chapter comes a lot of wonderful experiences. In other news, I've been sick over the last week so my boss was kind enough to just give me the weekend off. I didn't even request it off, she just gave it to me because she intuitively knew I'd probably get a little worse before I actually got better and she was definitely right. I spent the weekend relaxing and went out to celebrate ASU's homecoming with a bunch of my friends. It was a little awkward at first not having Chad there but the night ended up being fantastic. Although, finding my drivers side fender and back door kicked in was not cool. I swear that people are crazier here than they are in the Northeast. Its nothing that can't be fixed but its the fact that people keep targeting my car. Stupid Honda's. Another mild downfall is that I woke up to no electricity this morning and it was out until about 7pm when I arrived home. I spent the day with one of my friends shopping and driving around the area so I wasn't here all day assuming that the electricity would surely be restored by the time I arrived home. As I pull into my complex I learn that it'd be another 3 hours before it would be restored and I was thankful I had went ahead and bought some candles earlier on as a precautionary measure. And of course, Murphy's Law would prove itself true once again because as soon as I lit up my candles and had them situated accordingly, the damn electric turned back on. Overall, things are going well here in the Southwest. I'd like to touch on few things on a deeper level but I think I'll save that for another post. Until then...
