The happening is a new series which first appeared on A July Dreamer.
So much has happened in the last (almost) 3 months and I just wanted to find a way to document everything happening in my life on a weekly basis. I sometimes feel so overwhelmed that even though I consider myself organised I have been out of sorts. So today is the day I make a change and write an impromptu post about this week, the good, the bad and the ugly.
The Good
Last week I started looking at apartments after making a decision to leave the current residence I am staying at. I have been living in shared accommodation since I left my parents house over 5 years ago and now I am ready to be an adult and get my own apartment.
This week I put an offer on a place and they accepted me so now just signing the contracts since all the background checking has been done. I am so excited and so scared at the same time, I will talk about this in another post once I get chance to write it.
As a (newly naturalised) British citizen, I applied for my first adult passport last month and it had been taking for ever. Today I got a text saying they are processing the application so fingers crossed I get it soon.
The Bad
Though I am excited the passport people are now processing my passport I have less than 6 weeks before my scheduled trip to Korea. I can not ask them to speed things up because it’s my first British Adult Passport so I have to be patient.
Though I am very much excited about moving into my place it suddenly dawned on me I will be alone (with occasional visits from Boo) and I have to buy everything for the apartment. To make matters worse I am getting the keys almost at the end of May on Wednesday and that Friday I have to travel up north for my Brother’s wedding so I literally have 2 days to move, buy the items and still go to my 9-5 job as well as make the house ready for the days after my brothers wedding.
The Ugly
I do not think there was anything ugly in the last couple of days/weeks except for when the background checking people contacted my landlord to ask about me when I hadn’t even had chance to tell the landlord I was leaving. Though my landlord is not upset it just created a lot of unnecessary uncomfortableness
So that is all for now, I am even tired just thinking about it. I know to some it’s nothing but for me sometimes it’s too much hence the blogging about it. Now it’s out of my head creating room for more.
What has been the Good, the Bad and the Ugly for you this week?

We moved into our first place almost 4 years ago, we just moved again into a bigger place. It was scary but pretty amazing to have our own space!
Kelly Hutchinson says
Living on your own for the first time can be scary, but also very liberating! Great strides are being made towards adulthood!
JoAnna Kopp says
Sounds busy! I know how hectic everything can be before you go on a big trip like that. Hang in there!
Debi says
It sounds like a lot of things are going on. How exciting to have your first place and I bet that trip will be amazing.
Racquel Schroder-Bregg says
The good, bad and ugly has all been one and the same – so busy doing the baking that other things have slipped, but many exciting things on the horizon! Life just keeps throwing things at you!
Mia Myrabev says
Life does that indeed

Thanks Yona
Natalie H. says
I met a friend, been talking to them a lot, it’s nice. That’s the good. The bad, the laziness and no motivation lol. The ugly.. my ex husband? haha
Mia Myrabev says
Its always nice when we make new friends who we can talk to freely.
Cherri Littleton Megasko says
How exciting … your first place on your own! I still remember mine and that was 39 years ago! Try not to stress over it and remember … you’re making memories!
Mia Myrabev says
Thank you Cherri, I appreciate that.

The good is that I only have one week of school runs left, the bad is that I still have one week of school runs left, and the ugly is that I still have a week of school runs to get through 😉
Mia Myrabev says
hahahaha, or bless you Sarah. Just one more week lol
Kori says
Our ugly happened last night and I’d just as soon like to forget it now. But, I can’t expect for every week to be perfect.
Mia Myrabev says
Sorry to hear that hope will be better next week.
Roselynn787 says
Congrats on such a big step! I think six weeks will go by faster than you think it will. I wish my week was like yours and didn’t have any ugly, mine has been full of it.
Mia Myrabev says

So much has happened this past week! But I never forget
to be thankful… 🙂

Always important to be thankful for everything we have and don’t have.
crystal says
I’m glad to hear that there hasn’t been any ugly in your week. I’m hoping everything is going smoothly for you now. I haven’t had much time to slow down and think about how my week has gone thus far. I’m just taking it moment by moment.
Mia Myrabev says
Thank you Crystal. Taking it moment by moment is the best way to go about it.
chubskulit says
First, congratulations for this big step and good luck to you! Here’s hoping that you get your passport on time. I think you can do it!

Thank you so much, I am very happy and hope I get passport soon
Ann Bacciaglia says
This has been a great week for me. My daughter arrived home from her spring break trip safe and sound so i am happy.
Mia Myrabev says
awww so glad to hear that, you must be over the moon
Liz Leiro (CaliforniaPretty) says
Moving is so stressful, but getting your own apartment has to be so exciting! I can’t wait to get to that step in my life. Remember you don’t have to do it all at once! You probably have a lot of the essentials already. Enjoy yourself at the wedding and worry about furnishing your place later so it is fun and not stressful. 🙂
Mia Myrabev says
I think I keep forgetting that I don’t have to do it all at once. Thanks I can not wait for my brother’s wedding.
michele d says
Your week doesn’t sound that bad. Actually going to Korea sounds awesome. I bet your passport will come early.

Thanks Michelle, I am patiently waiting for that news and no my week has not been too bad.

Mia Myrabev says
Thanks hun I am hoping for the same, since my sister in law is planning it it will be awesome lol
Holyjeans Chic says
You have a lot going on lol. Congratulations on the new place, sounds super exciting even if it is a little scary. Just think to yourself, the crazy part will be over soon, and then you can be comfortable in your new pad….with Boo lol.

I am glad to hear that and hope it stays like that next week too

Here in the US, you can get your passport expedited. It’s a bummer that you have to wait. I hope it comes in in time 🙂
Mia Myrabev says
Thanks, I wish I could have it expedited but all is good I will just have to be patient
