More choices to make for a Libran, why God why?

Happy New Year. It is 2019 already. And a lot of things happened in the last 3 months. I went to Canada. I started the gym ( well, joined long back, got regular for 3 weeks, break for the trip & re-started in the new year again. fingers crossed) Best part of the gym - going and coming back with husband dearest. Good thing - makes the first quarter of the day productive. Bad thing - dont feel like going out of the house later.
Entered 2019 with a lot of baggage. My applications are pending. SoPs are pending. Bad news - my MDP is not eligible for any of the scholarships I had been chasing. Which means, chances of pursuing the course almost hit a zero. Too expensive. Hopes on TCD, the application has to go in first. Have to apply for courses eligible for scholarships. Huh!
I really don't have much to write on the blog today. I have to work on my SoP. Just wanted to say hi. And also mention about the two-day brainstorming exercise for taking or leaving 38, The Elms. End verdict, health is important than health. ANy day! And the delta R in the rent saving can be used to travel to Europe. Good luck to my Schengen Visa. Heads up to kick-starting of Euro travel!
Before all that, finish applications. And yes, interview on 15th Jan. All Together in Dignity! First one of the new year. Anxious, but don't want to get my hope rising. Bored to hearing - You have a great profile but we found someone with more relevant experience.

 Cheers 2019 - You have to be a career change breaker. Life changer would be a big word :D
Good Luck

Happy Birthday to me :)

One of my best birthdays so far... Smooth, warm, sunny and cozy.
Yes, I am 32. And I am in a position to see how the meaning of celebrations changed with time. The energy levels and the aftermath.

For one, a lot of to-do things have been stricken out. Bobo's burgers.. This has been on my list from the time i heard their advertisement on the radio. I know that I am a big advertisement additive shoppers, but yes, a good catchy advertisement is worth giving it a try. If they put so much effort into the advertisement, they might as well put in more into the product they are serving.
Next, irish coffee and brownie. Ta da.. both in one, topped with whipped cream and chocolate ice. Bliss. Murphys Ice cream was not on the to-do, but glad to have ticked it off. It was worth the cost. May not be the hype. I did enjoy the ice cream conversations. The reflections. And how not having a lot to choose from influences the customer. This is something i do want to explore more into. And the best part, how easy it is for a Libran to not have to make choices. What do I want? Brownie? What is your speciality? Irish Ice cream? Can I taste it? yes. Do you want a scoop of irish coffee ice cream with your brownie sundae? Absolutely! Problem solved. Wow
Red velvet cake. M&S didnt have a fresh cake but this was the best we could find. And... surprise! it turned out lot better than we expected. Moist and just the right amount of sweet. Ticked off. The cake seemed so irresistible, I cut it IST time. New night dress + bday started in the time zone I was born = bday celebrations start. Followed by cake for breakfast.. ah! those times :)
And my long due hair cut! Oh I was so so happy with the hair cut. It just felt so better with my husband's approval. God bless the young man :) He worked hard to make the day special for me. How it means so much to me

I have to pause this jottling for now.. cya in a while
