Hives and BBQ's

So, this morning as I was trying to store up the few of hours of sleep I had left before work this morning, I realized, about two hours into my "nap", my stomach was crazy itchy. Kind of like a million ants had climbed into my room in the wee hours of the morning, chomped on my abdomen and left. Naturally, I start itching and itching while I was intermittently trying to just sleep as much I could. I sleep for another hour and my legs, my arms and my chest start itching. So dear readers, if I don't make any sense today, it's because I am going on 3 hours of sleep trying to recover from the mystery hives while bbq-ing at my brother's for Pioneer Day.

Ugh...what a day it has been so far. I've worked 6 days this week just to make up for the lack of hours I've worked in the past 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be short on my rent for August. Hopefully, I'll come out with enough money. idk. I suppose I just need a new job where they aren't going to short my hours regardless of the availability of projects and seats.

I'd really like to sleep right now, but I know if I take a nap, there's a snowball's chance in hell that I'll be able to get some decent sleep tonight. This whole week has been a little ended up with me a little discombobulated. Ha...I don't think I've ever used the word "discombobulated" in a sentence before. It makes me chuckle...haha.

Uhm...let's see, what else has been happening? My sister lives in Utah, again. I'm way excited for school to start up again. Having a terrible job will do that to you though. Oh! I've been playing tennis at least twice a week with a few people from my ward. It's been sooooo fun! I'm pretty proud of my tennis racket callouses that are forming on my hands. I heart tennis. A lot.

My pumpkins and zucchini have finally decided to bloom. They're late bloomers that's for sure. I think I planted them a little late, so that'd explain their shyness. But I'm excited to have pumpkins and zucchini this fall. Hopefully, they'll both be prolific. I'd really like at least 1 nice juicy pumpkin for Halloween/Thanksgiving. If I get another one, then I'll be super happy. I'm going to try and make pumpkin pie out of at least one hopeful pumpkin for Thanksgiving and some confectionery goodness with the second hopeful pumpkin (i.e. pumpkin cookies and pumpkin bread). I'm hoping that my zucchini will kick into action soon so I can at least grill one on the barbie before the summer is out and then freeze the rest to make zucchini bread and goulash. Yum....I love zucchini in stew and goulash. I'm almost looking forward to cooler weather just so I can cook and make the house smell good.

My brain is wanting to turn off right now, so I think I'll humor it and watch a little t.v. and do some proper vegging out.

Toodles.

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? ...
