Send Me Some Sunshine, Send Me A Rainbow

Very very very VERY stressed. Upheaval. Deadlines. Moving. Hopes. Projects. Construction. Dreams. New activities. An upcoming visit. Frustrations. Unstable weather. Laundry. Stressed, stressed, stressed. Crazy wheel. One difficult thing makes another difficult thing yet more difficult, making everything even more difficult in turn.

Where do I start?

I've been working on a personal project since January. It took forever to get all the pieces together, but I finally have them. I am trying to have everything ready by tomorrow, and tiny little complications keep popping up. Logistics.

For various reasons, I'm very behind - drastically behind - with two uni projects. I need to be spending every waking moment on that, but I can't. Logistics.

I was due to move on the 11th. A couple of days earlier, I got told that the new place was not ready and found out that I could not stay longer at my old place because it's been rented out. I decided to camp it out somehow. Just a few days, right? I had my phone and internet service disconnected as planned. Logistics.

It's the 16th, and I'm still sleeping on the floor in my old apartment because the new place is everything but liveable. That state of the matter is unlikely to change any time soon. No clothes, no dishes, no food, no phone, no internet, no table or chair and a whole lot to do. Logistics.

Did I mention logistics? That says it all, so I'll skip the long story.

Perhaps I shouldn't be a rainbow chaser. How can you chase the rainbow if the drama never seems to end? :) The above paragraphs just barely skim the surface of a very complicated story. Good things? Plenty. :) Spring is here. Green leaves, and lily of the valley starting to blossom in the shade. Violets, and blooming cherry trees. Lush green grass. Rolling down a hill with a good friend, laughing out loud and inhaling the gorgeous sweet smell of strawberries. A new yoga course, and a new skating season, and good jumps. Ethiopian, Indian, Korean, Thai, Middle Eastern, Vietnamese, French and Polish food in expedient white takeout boxes. Thunderstorms and smell of freshness in the air. Random tunes playing themselves in my head over and over and over again. May, as in May the month. And never stopping to chase that rainbow.
