bad day. good day

I woke up this morning, late, with one of those... I need to just stay in bed cause today is gonna be really overwhelming...kind of feelings. I was so overwhelmed by the anticipation of today that I wanted to just sleep until tomorrow. I realized that I couldn't do that, I really needed to go to work. I had so much to do, and I just needed to get started. 

When I was at work I was still overwhelmed at the enormous task that was, today. I made some lists cause I am OCD and it's always easier to gather myself when I make a list. Once my lists were made, I began the task of completing them and it was awesome. I got all of my work done. I returned all of my emails. I answered all of my phone calls. I met with and spoke too ALL of the people I needed to talk to today. I went shopping for camp. I came in almost $100 under budget. AWESOME. I found a place to store all of my frozen goods. I found pizza bites for .6 cents each!!!!!! 

What my mind made me think was going to be an awful day full of defeat and stress has ended with a sweet taste in my mouth. I'm so excited about this weekend and I think I just might get up early and go to the gym tomorrow. :) not a bad day...a GOOD day!

ouch

I went to the gym after work today. I was supposed to go in the am, but I was just too lazy to wake up after a wonderful weekend of bliss. As I was driving to the gym I began feeling really ambitious so I made a plan to work out for at least an hour and a half instead of an hour today. 

Once I was changed into my stretchy pants, there was no turning back. I mounted the cycle and entered my information and began my 18 mile trek to burning 600+ calories. I had to stretch like a crazy woman when I got off that bike. NUTS. 

My legs still hurt. Even though I stretched real good. I guess an hour of cycling cannot be stretched in 10 minutes.... :) I feel real good. I'm super excited that I reached my goals today. I'm going to wake up early and try again tomorrow morning. That way I can tell the girls at work that I rode a bike 36 miles since they've seen me last. AWESOME!!!

Good day!

it's quiet

I am sitting on my couch in my lovely Christmas decorated living room with my roommate, her boyfriend, and our good buddy. They are all so frantically studying for finals and finishing up papers and projects and breathing deep sighs and staring really hard into their computer screens. 

I on the other hand, am trying to figure out something to do, that is quiet and doesn't cause a lot of commotion, because I know that any wrong move could cause serious damage to the ambiance of finals studying. 

All this to say, I sure am glad that I can, free from guilt, write this dumb little blog about my wonderful sunday evening. I have stuff to do, I always have stuff to do. But, I do not have to study for finals and for that I am grateful. I need to make a shopping list for Woodleaf. I need to get my costumes together. I need to work out a little today. I'll do the things I can do quietly first so as to not get yelled at or receive an evil glare because I AM FREE!!!!

I'll begin by praying for my friends whose situations I do not envy. Jesus, help them remember and help them recall. Awaken their minds and bless their efforts. Thank you Jesus for my degree! Amen.
