I cannot believe I have been so busy I have actually gone weeks without talking to you guys. Now that is amazing! It’s like me going 2 days without talking. I say 2 because somehow in life I actually made 1 whole day in my life without talking once, I was completely and utterly distraught. Anyways, in this time frame I have finalized personal decisions that will change my life forever, gone to Europe to and had a ball, and managed to come home to feel strangely foreign.
We officially closed a facility I worked at for nearly a decade with was emotionally draining to me. It really was hard for me as I was the only original staff member left. With that said there are other opportunities arising internally and externally that may change the dynamics forever. I already do not feel I fit in with the newer staff at the new facility but with the internal opportunity I am not sure how this will work. I feel as if we are sort of bonding some days and other not. Maybe I just really needed my vacation and to loosen up.
However, the external one has me leaving my comfort zone all together. We shall see.
Then there was Europe! —a brief synopsis as there will be a whole few blogs dedicated with pictures to just Europe!
I was like a Cheshire cat. We all were. Though I did not get to see all the things in France I wanted to I guess it just means I have to go back one day. I did get to see everything in London I wanted too. I literally LOST my smile in London. My MG kicked in and after smiling so much I literally thought I was smiling in one of my pictures and there was not even a hint. I laughed so hard later when I could smile I cried. I actually have the evidence as it was when I went the Warner Brother Studios and saw the ‘Making of Harry Potter’ and you go to see the Set where it was all done. Yes I am such a geek and it’s another thing off my bucket list!
However, with all the change and the timing of it almost being the end of September, I have to create a new annual bucket list and there were things I obviously did not finish on the last one that I may try to see if I can squeeze in before the end of the week! It may indeed be a busy week for me. I see at least 4 more things I can do before the end of this month and 3 that I can do without being reprimanded by someone that loves me (saying that I am doing too much as I am in a bit of a weakened state right now).

Omg I’d love to see where Harry Potter was done! I went to the Harry Potter scene in Orlando Studios, awesome experience. Everything about it I acted like I was 5 years old again, lol. But man I’d love to see the actual sets of where it was filmed!!

Ah I wasn’t 21 yet when I went to Orlando studios or best believe I would of had my butter beer! I was a child walking down Diagon Alley, I went into every store they had open. I got myself an Elder Wand (since that’s the wand Pottermore assigned me) and a Slytherin necklace (house Pottermore put me into). I recommend checking out Pottermore if you haven’t heard of the site!

Oh it doesn’t actually contain real beer. So you are fine! Yes I am a member of Pottermore and it assigned me to Ravenclaw. I bought a ravenclaw scarf.

Yes. I loved it! I knew it couldn’t have (at least in the UK because they were offering it to the school age kids and there was even butterbeer ice cream there.
