Weekend Warrior Syndrome

-
I wish this wonderful weekend didn't have to end. It isn't like I did anything spectacular, but as you know by now I value my personal time and long for more time to reflect and introspect. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. I got out both Sunday and Monday (go me!)

The weekend started out by going out to dinner after work with my friend. Wednesday was my birthday and I was mad as hell all day long because I couldn't get the day off. That is a story for another time. I spent Saturday tucked up in the house because as you know I have to have a whole day of doing absolutely nothing at all. Sunday I intended to go one place but wound up in Home Goods. I didn't buy anything because I am on a tight budget right now but if I had the money I would have picked up a few things. I am trying to manifest a windfall of unexpected money.

Yesterday I went on a sort of hiking adventure and discovered a trail I hadn't been on because I was afraid to go into the woods alone. There were a lot of people out there so it was actually quite safe and should anything have happened to me someone would have discovered me. The weather was perfect for trekking through the woods and I didn't overexert myself. I know I had to have burned a decent amount of calories. Now if I can just be more consist about exercising and eating healthy I might actually get this weight off. I hope the weather remains pleasant and the sticky, humid weather this region is known for stays away so I can have more outdoor adventures. I want to be motivated to either walk or get in the gym (and eventually pool!) regularly. I think I am mentally ready to become fit again (I know I've said it before).

I am also debating transferring. I don't think I posted it here yet but Kobe (my boss) is leaving! I had a phone interview that didn't pan out and this weekend I was supposed to get resumes out, but as you see that didn't happen. I also brought a pile of work home that I pulled out of the bag and has sat on the counter all weekend. So, needless to say that my work is piled up and I will probably spend the week playing catch up.

Well, I think I am pretty much caught up here. I have to hit the shower for a short work week which in and of itself can be stressful. Trying to make it stress free and sucka free! Until the next time...

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.
