Back to enjoying life a bit more

It’s been an interesting week and half back in New York. Most of the time has unfortunately been spent trying to get our apartment in order. I am someone who likes to get shit done and it’s hard for me to leave unpacked boxes or things out of order.

As such, I spent most of my Friday evening putting up a shelving unit so we had some places to hang our pots and pans. Then I spent most of our time Saturday shopping for things for the apartment. Combined that with raising a 6 month year old and I unfortunately have had little to no time to enjoy the city much or see friends.

I did realize yesterday that most of this is my fault. I could probably use a chill pill or two in regards to the apartment. I also probably have my priorities completely wrong right now. Instead of enjoying my time off to go enjoy New York and see friends, I’ve beating myself up trying to knock out my checklist of shit to do.

I suspect that this started over a month ago as we started to plan for our move. I’ve been so focused on the move that I started to live my life off my to-do list. That’s no way to live life and it’s time to change that mentality. I live in NYC after all and there’s too much fun shit to do to spend my entire weekend running errands.
