Inspiration, where did you go?

I'm really searching for inspiration these days, and can't seem to find it anywhere. 
No new ideas for outfits, nothing for writing, food or even the apartment. 
Thrilled that we got the new couch in place, and bought a bunch of roses today, but there's just something missing. Think I might be a tad bit... bored I guess. 
Things seemed easier when I was living in Lillehammer - just because I always had someone to call, something to do. Here it's basically just work, gym, sleep (which doesn't come easy), and yeah. All my friends are working, and whenever they have some time off it seems I have to work. 
And yes, these are trivial things, I can't blame anyone but myself for feeling like this. It just hit me really hard right now - my bf is asleep on the couch, I'm just sitting here doing nothing, and this seems to have become a part of our routine. 
Going through all of pinterest and weheartit right now, searching for inspiration and new ideas. Maybe I'll start baking again, or get new ideas for the apartment. I hope so. 

Over to something that's more uplifting! Things are finally starting to feel finished in our apartment, which makes it a lot easier to actually relax and have fun. It also makes it easier to focus on other things in life such as going to the gym, making food (that's not out of a box), and spending time together. The last part has been kind of neglected the past couple of weeks - even though we've been in the same room it's basically been like a constant weight on my shoulders. Which in turn has turned me into somewhat of a bitch. Been nagging him and we've both been rather grumpy (sorry sweetie). At least that's getting better now! We actually had a proper meal together at the dinner table today.

Oh, and it's my bf's birthday next week! He's turning 25, which gives me about six months to tease him with being older than me. And of course I have to get him a present.. Any good ideas?


After some searching I found some inspo, and now I'll go through my entire wardrobe trying to find something to wear tomorrow!

New Year, new life

Well, not really. 
But it is a new year (has been for 16 days now), and a lot has happened during these days.

Moved in with my bf, which was a lot of work. 
We're still not done, but it's getting there. I mean, it's four years of my life and six years of his stuffed together in one apartment. Starting to realize why people are buying houses... Spent all of last weekend running back and forth, putting up furniture, throwing away stuff that neither of us wanted to keep, tried to decide which books that we'd keep in the bookshelf and so on. It was a long weekend, and something tells me I'll spend a lot more time on this before I'm pleased. He doesn't really care all that much about interior (I think he does), and keeps telling me that whatever I think is probably the best (I agree, hah).

what I want... 
Joined a gym, along with the rest of the world it would seem like. Been thinking about it for a long time, and know that I really need to work out if I want to be able to do my job for more than a year... So far, so good. Really need some new clothes tho, can't keep cleaning my two tights every other day.

Other than that life has been pretty normal. Work, friends, family, bf, food. You know, usual stuff. 
Oh, and I have no sense of day and night anymore. Woke up at 2pm today, went to work at 2.45, got home at 11.30ish, went to bed, and woke up at 2am. Now it's 4.30 in the morning, and I've decided to go to the gym in half an hour. Just because my body decided that I only needed a powernap. Will probably go back to bed when I'm done, and since I have a date at noon, I kinda sorta have to get up again at 10.30. As I said - usual stuff. 

Always wake up after 2-4 hours of sleep and NEVER able to fall back asleep on my days off :(
