Weekly Post

Man, I am so happy for having a day off work during the week. Work is closed on Sunday so having 2 days off in a row = bliss. I made myself sleep in today. I literally had to make myself sleep. My body pretty much woke up at 7 am and I had to kick myself. Like I mentioned in my last post, I LOVE sleeping. I can't really function correctly without at least 7 hours of sleep. Otherwise, my brain just can't think straight. So I slept. Then I kind of cleaned my room. I still have put stuff away, but the big "elephant" in the room was my overflowing clothes hamper. When I'm tired or haven't been sleeping when I need it most, my room turns into a war zone. Literally. I hadn't put my clothes away from last week yet, I had socks and shoes and books and yarn all over the floor. Okay, it really wasn't that bad, but for me, it was bad.

Anyway, I'm procrastinating going home right now. When I get home I really have to get crackin'. The bathroom has been ignored for the past little while. Well, really, since I've started working. I haven't cleaned the toilet or sink or shower in 4 weeks. Gross right? Yeah...totally obscene. I might be complaining right now, but in the 20 minutes it'll take me to clean the bathroom will really be good for my soul. Clean bathrooms will do that. Anything clean will do that.

I also found out that the program that I wanted to get into and start next week is F U L L. I'm a little bummed, but there is another option for me. So not all is lost. The program that I'll start in 2 weeks will still bring in the needed money that I'll use to finish my bachelor's and if I specialize or expand my skill base, I'll get paid more. So, all in all, it's a good trade. Thankfully I'll be able to cut back on my hours at work a little bit; which honestly, that is a little gem of happiness. I don't necessarily hate my job, I am very grateful I'm able to work at all, but all the drama is getting a little overwhelming.

It is what it is, right? Well, life is moving along quite nicely. I really can't complain a whole lot about what I'm doing. I'm on my way to saving for my education and a car. A point a to point b car anyway. It's all I need. :)

JOYCE! Man, it's been awhile. I see you've moved to Ogden. Too bad I don't live in Logan anymore. It would have been nice to be that much closer to each other. How's life? Hope you're well!

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...

Book Report

So, remember when I told you guys that I was going to start reading autobiographies and biographies and the like? Well, I FINALLY finished this book. I had to renew it because I made the mistake of getting two Harlan Coben books and well, he's one of my most favorite mystery/suspense author's EVER. The Harlan Coben books were of course read in less than a week. I don't know how I did my homework. Good thing a lot of it is online and not due for a while...but still. I need to stop this habit of reading books when I should be doing my homework. Anyhow, The Road to Woodstock was a pretty good read. Lots of history. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog is really into Jimmy Hendrix or anyone from that era, but it was really cool to get an insiders perspective on what went on. The organizing of Woodstock was a pretty big undertaking but in the end, the organizers just let everyone in regardless of if they had purchased a ticket or not. Did you know that? The organizers of...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
