Life

So, I've decided to write down those journal prompts down in my paper journal. I come to Blogger pretty regularly, but when it comes down to typing out the prompts, I just don't have to motivation to catch up on whole weeks worth. Plus, I think it'd be kind of cool for my - hopeful - posterity to dig through my journals some day. I'm a journal/paper nerd, so I have a lot of differently sized journals.

Anyway, I'm going to my assigned ward in about 12 hours. I've been avoiding the whole BYU singles ward scene since I moved back to Provo. The Bishop made a surprise visit yesterday morning. I was still in bed after finishing yesterday's graveyard shift. I think I had made it to 4 hours of sleep before they came. I'm surprised they're even letting me attend the ward at all. This will be a good jumping off to start some introspection of things I need to work on. Pretty vague, huh? Let's just say that there is a lot that I need to work that I've been putting off simply because I'm scared of what I'll have to do to get to the light at the end of the tunnel. The unknown just scares me silly sometimes.

I have so many things that are in the works. A few them are at the jumping off point, I just have to wait for the money to come in the accomplish these goals. Thank goodness I've been able to do my taxes early. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get my refund soon, pay 2 months worth of rent ahead of time, and then get my education off the ground and a few other things. I'm saving some of my refund for a vacation. I just don't know when or where I'm going. A friend of mine wants to go to Hawaii for a week. Spending all that money on a plane ticket kind of makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe I'll just take a road trip or a train trip somewhere. I don't know...we'll see.

Anyhow, life has been pretty boring. I work, sleep, occasionally eat, exercise. I need to do more of the exercising though. I found a routine that I'll be able to stick to. Then 4 or 5 days of 30 minutes of cardio on top of what I can do in the comforts of my own bedroom. I hate struggling in front of people, so if I don't have to sweat in front of people, then that's what I'll do. I really want to buy the TRX suspension cords. It looks really cool and challenging. And, again, it's something I can do in the comforts of my bedroom. I think I would just have to move my desk.

So yeah...that's what I'm up to. Not a whole lot.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

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...

Things I Don't Talk About Much

"I have learned that we feel like a failure when we make mistakes even when we profess a belief that the purpose of this existence is to make and learn from them." Growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have had this belief that - as the quote says - we are here experiencing mortality to make mistakes and to learn from them so we can, eventually, become exalted beings and live with our Heavenly Father. In it's simplest form, that is why we're here. We have steps that we have to perform to attain such exaltation; faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, enduring to the end, temple ordinances...you get the point. The first three things I mentioned are always ongoing. We're baptized with water and every week with the sacrament, we renew those covenants. It's a time for reflection of what we've done during the week. What went wrong, what went right, what we need to work on.  Anyhow, growing up in the church, I fe...
