Despite sleeping well last night, I didn't wake up and go to the gym. Instead, I tried to take it a bit easier - I got ready for the stupid bridal show, went to the ATM, put gas in my car, you know...the daily crap that always gets in the way of life. At the moment, I am waiting for my mother to arrive. I will not be letting her in. My place is that cluttered right now. I have teaching stuff EVERYWHERE!
I decided what to do with some of the extra kitchen stuff. I am going to put all of it in the teacher lounge at work. I am tired of looking at stacks of dishes, and the teachers never have enough plates and silverware in the lounge, anyway.
I wish my mid-winter break at work and spring break at school coincided. I would love to be able to get the hell out of Michigan for a while. Jeremy and I could have flown somewhere warm.
I will be hitting the gym later this evening. I am considering going to during Simpson's time. I'm sure there will be on at least one of the sets.

quiet time
Some random thoughts...
1. I like that banks are FINALLY trying to disguise checks when they send them. They now look like packages from cigarette companies. I find it strange that I know what cigarette companies send, considering I am very much against smoking.
2. I imagine how distraught I will be the day one of my cats dies. I don't know how I will keep from doing something stupid.
3. I do not have many secrets, but I do have a few that could change my life drastically if I divulged them. Some better, some worse.
4. I think the rest of my life will fluctuate between contentment and being miserable. I don't see a lot of middle ground.
5. Sudafed lowers my heart rate a great deal. I was having trouble sustaining a good aerobic heart rate while exercising at the gym tonight.
6. I have no idea who I would like to see as our next president.
7. I haven't done anything teaching-related all week! I have so much to do tomorrow.
8. I hate that my mother is dragging me to yet another bridal show on Sunday morning. I'd rather be working out - and I don't like working out and exercising all that much.
9. My place is drafty.
10. I am a terrible house-keeper lately.
11. I want to throw my couch in the dumpster.
12. The rattling component in my dryer stopped moving tonight. I keep checking to see if everything is done.
13. I gained back all of the weight I lost last year. I can't wait until the weather turns warm again. I want to hit the trails again with my bike. I really don't like the hamster-in-a-wheel approach to fitness. I can understand going to the gym for machines and weights, but I HATE jogging/walking/climbing stairs/biking on machines.
14. I would bet money that most of my senior English students haven't done anything for their test on Tuesday.
15. I have to order more items for my classroom - that is, if I don't leave the school for another job.
16. I really want the job in TC. That would make my life so much better. I'd be living near the water and forest. I'd be so much happier! Except for the fact my family is around here and my closest friends are here, as well. I couldn't go out with the Mikes or with Maureen regularly. Mondays with Mike V. wouldn't be a possibility at all. He might move to Chicago, anyway. His girlfriend is moving in about a week, and I'm sure he is considering a move, too.
17. I should go to bed. I have to wake up early and work out. Then I am going to a bridal show. Then I have all of my planning and grading to do. I then have a presentation to plan, as well as three papers. I think I will be okay, though.

humbling
I met with my personal trainer today. Now that was a humbling experience. I kept a good pace with the cardio stuff, but strength-wise - I got nothing! I couldn't even do a full push-up properly (damn those old teachers who always said "Do a girl push-up!" I should have never listened to you!!!). I am not very flexible, which shouldn't be a surprise as I haven't done yoga in quite some time. My former instructors would be so disappointed in me.
So, Jeremy and I really hit the gym today. I did forty or so minutes of cardio and I started with some machines (I am thinking I should focus on building some strength again - that way I can follow through with some of the different programs more easily). I didn't attend the class I wanted tonight, as I didn't get my homework done as quickly as I had planned (I suppose I can write my three remaining papers tomorrow during the day).
I am happy to have this week-long vacation right now. I was a bit frazzled.

Drunk again
I've missed this feeling.
If only I could feel this way at work. I am better with alcohol. I am laughing at Family Guy - a show I really don't enjoy while sober.
I have to get to bed soon. School tomorrow. Plus, I have a job to apply for - AND - I have a paper to write. It's nice to just take a night off, though, to relax and break away from routine.
Now, I am watching Scrubs. Life is good.
I need to call about several houses this week, as well as several reception halls.

Thursday
On Thursday, I helped Mike H. with his photo shoot. I really miss photography. I think I will enroll in a program at a community college after I finish my Master's degree.
Snow Day!
I am so glad that I didn't hop in the shower when my alarm sounded this morning. It's a snow day, and I am going back to bed! Or maybe I'll start my day with The X-Files right now.
