Currently: Mid-September

Small Towns are Full of Assholes Trunk available at Firecracker - The StoreI did my first “currently” post here because I’d never done one and kind of liked them. Today I’m coming back at you with a second edition. Since we’re all friends here, (Right? We’re all friends??) I’ll be transparent and say that at 9pm last night I realized that I did not have Thursday’s blog post ready to go. *gasp!* And since I set a goal this month to get back to my Monday/Thursday schedule, I had to get something ready to go. Fast. Sooo….to distract from the embarrassment of my unpreparedness, let’s get on with it.

Currently I am:
reeling with excitement from the launch of Firecracker -The Store’s social media. (Instagram / Facebook) Seriously. So exciting!!

dying at how funny that sticker is on a trunk I have in the shop. Small towns can be full of a bunch of assholes…

feeling so incredibly loved from the amount of support and kind words that have been sent my way lately.

regretting committing myself to a party at my “new” house in less than two weeks.

working like a mad woman on said house.

making lots and lots of lists.

looking at what might be one of our best months in real estate thus far. Four closings just this week! *happy dance*

trying yoga. For real. Like in a class with an instructor. I’m as shocked as you are.

actually liking yoga.  

writing more and more each day, thankfully.

waiting on the weather to turn.  (Bye, Felicia! – that’s what I’m saying to summer.)

drinking all the pumpkin spice lattes.

thinking 
about Christmas.

reminding myself that done is better than perfect.

focusing on making the right decisions, being the best version of myself possible, blocking out all negativity, and trusting my gut.

What are you up to so far in September? The month is half way through and it’s been a busy few weeks already! I’m looking forward to wrapping up the month strong. What are you most excited about this month? For me, it’s the *fingers crossed* possibility of FALL!

Currently.

April CurentlyI’ve seen these “currently” posts all over the Internet and I’ve always loved them. It’s no secret that @elisejoy’s were always my favorite. Considering the awkward spot of life we’re in right now, I thought this might be a great time to try one of my own. So here goes.

Currently I am:
rebuilding my house.

taking pictures
of all the flowers.

thrilled
 that there’s Sheetrock back on my walls. (Seriously, so encouraging.)

choosing
paint colors like its my job.

learning to live comfortably in a camper.

trying to find my words again.

being thankful for a place to live, for the opportunity to rebuild, and for amazing friends/family and strangers.

working hard and fast.

stalking Emily Henderson’s blog for design ideas.

adjusting to 1,000 new things and emotions.

driving my car with the sunroof open and music up loud. (Not right this second, obviously.)

enjoying little tiny moments that might have otherwise slipped by.

growing a real estate business.

eating way too much ice cream.

loving the warm sunshine.

embarking upon a few new adventures, in spite of the madness.

sending so many thank you cards.

waiting excitedly on the new season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

These are just a few of the things I’m doing currently. It’s no secret that our lives were turned upside down after the flood and for a bit, I struggled to bounce back. Each day it gets easier, and though I’m not back in a routine and my writing has suffered tremendously, I’m back at work and back at life. Each day gets a little easier and each day I feel a little more like my real self. We’re slowly finding our new normal. We appreciate the well wishes through the flood and for understanding as things have been a bit harder lately. Currently, I’m thankful to be deep into the recovery stage where I finally feel my head’s above water…both literally and figuratively, I suppose.

Since I’ve strayed from my regular Monday/Thursday blog posting schedule, feel free to keep up via Instagram @pamelapetrus for now.
