Crossing my fingers
I applied for a studio apartment. It was gorgeous. Perfectly located, in a well maintained, beautiful, historical house with balconies, and a large front porch. I would have a storage locker, and a solarium style back balcony to grow some vegies in pots. The concierge, a nice lady in her 50’s, with a stunning, tastfuly decorated unit warmly welcomed me.
We could tell we liked each other, and had a lot in common. She hugged me goodbye, and I completed the application as quickly as possible so it could be sent to the headoffice. I’m crossing all my digits, and toes because this would be a dream place. I saw two of the tenants, and they were kind, calm, and joyful. Please life, grant me this one wish, please let me have this place.
I’ve been surprisingly productive regardless of the time I’m taking away from studying as I’m searching for a new place. I had one extra chemistry class this morning, two apartment visits, I submitted my lab report that I completed in record efficiency, listened to half of my algebra online class, spent time with new school friends, and ate all my meals calmly and on time. Even if it takes time for my brain to start working in the morning with the neurostimulants, I still sustain better energy levels throughout the day. The one thing I have to improve is going to bed earlier. Going to bed at 9 pm would be the optimal schedule, but most days I can’t manage to complete my tasks before 10 pm.
As my interactions with schoolmates are increasing, which is fabulous, and helping nurturing my emotional needs, I have to make sure I wrap up my days a little sooner. My friends are all aware of my chronic fatigue, and do understand that I don’t study late. I just have a hard time saying goodbye because I enjoy their company. A new healthier life balance is starting to take shape, and I’m confident all will soon fall into place.
