An Ex, Hint of Summer, and Finding Routine Again

I spent a good portion of Saturday with my ex.  We had always been best friends, now with good time and distance behind us we have been able to keep a loose friendship together.  it was an interesting day to ponder the peace i feel with the situation.  We are two great people who just didn't belong together beyond a friendship. He is still the kind of person who would drop anything for me, money, time, plans, yet there would always be that special something missing. The passion was never there.  It's nice to have the decision behind me and still feel so clear and satisfied with the outcome. Amazing how easy life is when situations are resolved.  As he had done many years ago, my ex was one of my best shopping companions, helping me pick out some new rags for summer at my favourite boutique in Burlington, Joelle's.  a few bills later and I was ready for summer to start! Insure do miss having someone to shop with...

Saturday night I ventured back into the city. A long weekend and some gorgeous weather, I met some friends at the Sky Lounge rooftop patio at The Drake hotel.  The excitement of summer was in the air. I was determined to have a weekend to myself full of friends and fun no dates or time committed outside of friends.  For a moment, the world floated around me as I stood in my new dress and favourite Kors sandals...I am so excited for summer, the clothes, the shoes, the fun, the laid back outdoor activities.  Satisfied by midnight I disappeared back onto Queen Street West and took a taxi home.  I crawled into bed and was looking forward to a good nights rest.  If there's one thing I learned about city life so far, it never stops from Monday to Friday.  I can't say I've figured out what keeps people running at that pace...

Is it the single search for companionship, the genuine craving of the vibe? Whatever it is, I still crave my downtime...some quiet, some time alone.  

Sunday I woke up, super stoked for the amazing weather and busy day I had planned. I rolled out of bed and without blinking had brushed my teeth and skipped out the door to the gym around the corner.  I finally found a GoodLife location around the corner, a former Extreme Fitness rebranded.  Routine is finally coming together for me again, over 3 months after moving downtown.  I lost myself in a good old fashioned leg workout.  Drenched in sweat, exhausted, sore, yet somehow pumped full of natural adrenaline I made my way home to get the day underway :)
