It was a regular old food crawl!

Today is going to be a photo journal of my day yesterday! Since the world shut down days before my birthday, I didn’t really get to celebrate. Okay, if I am being honest, I didn’t celebrate at all! It was all so new that there was panic and stress and trying to figure out the way through the new reality. it’s been such a stressful year and some change and I am SO ready to STOP saying that! Isn’t everyone though?

As much as I can’t wait for life to go back to normal, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t even know what normal looks like anymore. I feel so adapted to this reality that it’s almost scary to think about what the normal would look like again after all of this. It’s made everyone angrier, sadder, meaner, grumpier and all around changed peoples souls. Some for the better, some not.

For me, it’s changed me for the better. It FORCED me to take a deep dive into myself and look at what the problems were instead of ignoring them or doing destructive things to avoid what I was really going through. It changed my soul for the better. It helped me see clearer in the way that I now know what matters the most in life. I actually respect and love myself and I am learning to cope with the hard things that I used to ignore. Since I couldn’t leave home, I learned to stop and appreciate the little things around me. Because they are actually the big things, I was just too blind to see it.

Anyway, here is my day: We went to breakfast, then to a brewery for drinks and bar type food, did some shopping (okay, quite a bit of shopping!) drove around, walked around and then went to dinner where I went FULL carbie Barbie (not sorry!) then finsished off back at my parents house for an obscene amount of cheesecake and old videos from my childhood. I didn’t get home until 4AM and I am STILL in a full food coma and tired to boot! But it was such a fun, blessed day!
