Long Time

So, in the last 15 minutes of my shift here at my second job...oh wait. You didn't know I have a second job? Yeah. New development. I guess that's what I get when I don't update at least once a month. Anyway, in no apparent order, here is a short list of things that have been happening lately:

  • I got a second job last week. Obviously, if we're FB friends, you'd have known about that already. But whatevs.
  • I ran out of money on my UTA (Utah Transit Authority) card, so I had to hoof it or bike to my new job all this past week. It's two miles in one direction. With this upswing in physical exercise, I've come to know that biking two miles isn't easy when you're going at a constant uphill incline. And one would assume it'd be easier going back the other way. But it isn't. The streets here in Provo going towards Y mountain have weird inclines and declines and well, if you're going towards Utah Lake, you should have a slight decline in the way the road goes. But you don't and I think it's stupid. 
  • Needless to say, with the upswing in exercise, I think my weight loss goals will be easier to attain this summer. On the nights I don't work my graveyard shift, I'll be stopping at the Provo Rec Center to go swimming or lift some weights. Plus, summer time is always a good excuse to stop by and swim...and people watch. 
  • I have been paying my hospital bills off. Slowly, but surely. It's been tight, money wise, hence the reason I got a second job. My pay days from both jobs just worked out so I could get a paycheck every week, so I'm excited. 
  • I got a raise at my graveyard job. I'm hoping that the Program Director sees how little he's paying his graveyard instructors and bump my raise up to an even dollar amount. It'd be a 55 cent raise, and it'd help. A lot. But I kind of doubt it. In any case, I'll be happy with my 35 cent raise. 
Anyway, that's the short list of things that have been happening. New things anyway. When I have a little more time, and I've gotten some sleep (I haven't slept since yesterday morning...at 10:30. Except for that 2 hour nap between jobs. ooof...). 

Till tomorrow. Or the next day?

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just ...

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
