I'm feeling...

a little claustrophobic at the moment. Maybe it's because I'm wearing a lot of layers. My ankle is kind of killing me as well. I started the gas station job today. Didn't smell one whiff of gasoline the whole time I was there. That makes me happy. I did, however, have to stand for 5 hours straight. I escaped to the bathroom for a moment just to sit down. I got a free breakfast sandwich today too. Thankfully...I was kind of starving when my boss gave it to me.

I need to look up ankle exercises. I don't think my ankle likes me standing up for mass amounts of time with no real break. Or maybe I'm just getting soft from having a sit down job for the past year.

....oh brain fart...

I watched the newer version of Pride and Prejudice last night. It was pretty great. I really like Mr. Darcy for the sheer fact that he's really such a gentleman. But I don't think I'll ever be truly in love with him because I actually enjoy working and things like that independence wouldn't really fly with Mr. Darcy. Even still, he's a pretty fine specimen. Anyhow, the movie made me start thinking of a certain formerly afro hair guy who just got a hair cut. Can I swear off guys for a little while longer? They're confusing. They say things that they don't mean. Ok...not all of them are horrible. I know a few guys who are just really good and kind. This former curly haired boy is part of the that group. I like him. I've never considered dating him because I liked his brother. But now that I know for certain his brother won't do anything about dating because he's too dang shy, I think I'm free to like the younger of two.

The end where Mr. Darcy has stepped out of Mr. Bennett's office and Lizzy goes in to talk to her father, that part always gets me. The emotion of it all...

Anyway, I can't really focus right now. My mind won't stay in the game. Maybe I need a nap...

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

New Things

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...
