Like I previously said, March was full of post accident recovery. I was out of work for quite some time and was free to do almost anything that didn't require physical stress. Through my recovery I wanted to divert any negative thoughts that had to deal with the accident, at the time I was still very fragile & weak at the idea of driving, being driven or being in a car, that's how scarred I was. I decided what better way to recover then to hang out with familiar faces, so I hung out with a lot of people and visited an old teacher, Mr. Dahms, to inspire future designers.
When I was finally able to go back to work I was welcomed with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a huge card signed by my amazing co-workers. I was so thrilled to be back at work, to be back in the city and most importantly to be back to normal - driving still went on with much difficulty as it is present day (but I'll get to that later) - the days that followed upon returning to work was just as it was before I had left, perfectly ordinary but extremely fun.
Apart from being in good spirits about recovering & being back at work, life had another present for me for having done so well since the accident (or so I'd like to think :P) On St. Patricks day I purchased my first car! Charlie wasn't under my name, but Murfee, yes Murfree, is. Words couldn't explain how grateful I was for being able to 1. purchase my very own car without my parents 2. being blessed of still being alive and able to go through this experience. So that basically made my weekend and I am more than ever so careful with my car and so in love with him, but just keep in mind that Murfee could never replace the love I have for Charlie, he was and still is my hero.
All was well until this little grey cloud decided to stick around for a while and hover with its thunder clasping and unavoidable shower of pathetic events, of course this is all metaphorically speaking, however in retrospect I couldn't have thought of a better description for what happened. Long story short, on March 22 (2 days before his birthday) we took Markie to the hospital and had to put him down. It was heart-wrenching and the feel of guilt overpowered any other emotion (if any still existed during the time). I miss Markie till this very day but ever so glad that he's in peace now, because let's just say had he stayed put he would have been miserable, so I do have a peace of mind that I had done the right thing, though it feels like I didn't. R.I.P Markie boy, I love you (:
Remember how I said I was "ever-so-careful" with my car? Yea, not even 2 weeks have gone by and some dumbnut hit my car with their door at the Metrolink station. I am beyond furious because I've been parking there for the past 3 years and parked 4 different cars in the same spot and the ONE time my car gets hit, it's Murfee. I don't even want to get into it with the damage or how I really feel BUT rest assure I am angry with this person, LOL.
March went out with a bang when I decided that I was going to venture out from the ordinary life that I knew (and the fact having dealt with such a roller coaster) and stayed in Downtown over the weekend. It wasn't to my surprise that I had an amazing weekend in the city, my co-workers are pretty much the best people you can work with and has such a good vibe. Thursday night I spent a well fed evening at Mignon with Cody & Blake, the whole day I was looking forward to indulging myself with Moscato and filling up my stomach with delicious food and believe me, it was worth every second of waiting. Friday night, we as a company decided to hold a happy hour event for Angela who is sadly leaving the company to pursue other opportunities. We hung out at Bar & Kitchen and just had a really good time, I had the option to drown myself in alcohol or gingerly sip through a glass of wine, I had chosen the latter for good karmas sake. After happy hour, Jhomar and I went to watch 21 Jump Street and OH MY GOODNESS, it was HILARIOUS, I definitely recommend it. Soon after the movie I went home and knocked out. Saturday morning Jhomar and I met up at the Coffee Bar to get some coffee and do some reading together, later I splurged and went to Glendale Galleria and bought a new outfit for later that evening, come night time Melissa and I joined Jhomar and Pete at Dublins and headed over to the Staples Center to watch a Clippers game exclusively provided by our CEO. It was my first game and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, it was so close to the court to the point where I could tell just how tall Blake Griffin was. By the way, I'm still a Lakers girl, kay. After the game we headed back to the loft and pigged out on pizza and wine, the rest was history!
[No Picture T_T]
Sunday was a more relaxed day, I left the city and drove myself to Orange County to see my beloved boyfriend who I scarcely see due to our hectic schedule. I slept a lot since I was so pooped from my weekend adventures but I still had enough energy to have a good day with him. We said bonvayage to his parents who was going to Vietnam for 2 weeks, after that I went home and unpacked and knocked out.
I usually don't type this much for a monthly summary, even more so I usually provide a huge picture of the month and then use a bullet format to express my journey, but I wanted to do something different. That and I'm still making the picture, actually I should probably back up my phone before something unfortunate happens, stupid reoccurring grey cloud.
Be that as it may, March treated me fairly well but in its defense, like I've always said life is full of ups and downs it's just in the matter of your mindset & how well you want to act upon it. With all that being said...
Dear future Krislam, you've won the battle of recovery post accident and witnessed your first tragic death at hand, you got this yo :]
Until next time, world!
