How did we get here?

-
Lordy, it is the last day of the year! How did we get here?  Where has my time off gone?  I have barely accomplished anything. Oh well, maybe I will be more productive in 2015.

I really wish I had a couple more weeks off. I go so hard during the year until I find myself just not wanting any schedules, responsibility, commitments or forced interaction when I have time off from work.

I had been holed up in the apartment since Christmas Eve. I ventured out yesterday to go to the store. I tell ya, folks did damage to that poor Trader Joe's! They barely had anything left on the shelves. And they can't blame it on the weather because the weather has been relatively mild. Actually now that I think about it I did venture out the other night. Walked up to the main drag and got a salad to go. I need to go out again today before the stores close. I really want a nap though because I got up and started cleaning up for the new year. You know the old tradition, everything clean and fresh for the new year. So I am doing laundry, cleaning the floors, bathroom, and kitchen.

So I bought a new comforter but it has been sitting around because I wasn't ready to put it on the bed. I figured I would put it on the bed for the new year so washing the sheets, blankets, etc. Got fresh pillows. Also got new undies! Wooo hooo! Don't know why they are so expensive these days. I saw Patricia Bright said that she regularly starts fresh with the knickers. TMI~

I colored my hair but I still don't love it so I will probably get it braided. Just too lazy to go up to NY to my girl I used to go to and it is so expensive down here. I need to go to Sally to try a product that was recommended by a natural hair blogger.

I also need to get my cooking started. Been dragging my feet and it doesn't help that the stores have been out of my main ingredients.

Plans for New Year's Eve: I will make up my bed in the pretty new comforter and sheets, find a bottle of mid-price champagne or prosecco, light a candle, put on some smooth jazz, and have a spa night in the bathtub! Turn up for what??? If I can't get it today I want to get a mani-pedi and eyebrow wax. Gotta keep the brows in check with the short hair!

Have a wonderful and safe start to the new year! See you on the other side!

~Peace~

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
