Tales of Octavia

Once upon a time, the weatherman announced Nashville would be experiencing an ice storm. I laughed. Pshh, Nashville doesn’t ever actually get winter storms. Then this happened:

Well, more happened but these are the remnants left almost a week later.

I grew up in California and Florida. What is this slippery stuff that keeps causing me to fall on my butt? Why is Taco Bell closed at 10pm? I don’t understand.

Don’t get me wrong, it does excite me a little bit to see this winter wonderland outside my window. However, it’s not as much fun when you realize most of it is about 2 inches of pure ice. This is only fun when you’re wearing ice skates and listening to cheesy pop tunes. Not when you’re simply trying to get dinner.

It appears it may actually get above freezing tomorrow which is apparently exciting. Who knew 40 degrees was cause for celebration.

Fingers crossed that this ice-pocalypse disappears soon so Nashville can step out of panic mode.

Here’s to warmer days and driving at normal speeds!

Real Life, Man.

Remember that time I graduated?

Yeah, I don’t. 

It has been a whirlwind of job hunting and resume fixing and freelance working since that fateful day in December. Currently, nothing full time. I have been dabbling in freelance social media, though, and it seems to be right up my alley. So for the time being, it’s the closest thing I have to a job.

Basically, it means that I’m completely neglecting my own social media and blog because I’m juggling multiple other accounts simultaneously.

Remember those resolutions I set up for myself?

Yeah, not sure I do either. 

Fingers crossed that one day soon my life will settle down enough that I can get back to those goals I tried setting for myself.

Until then, keep on facing fearless.
