Weekly Favorites
♥ Thank the goddess for Tina Fey
♥ I am not a huge fan of Christmas and the season that just thankfully ended, but I LOVE Valentines Day and all it's cute heart shaped bullshit. SWOON!
♥ I'm not drinking this month to do a sort of half-assed detox, so naturally I'm starting to miss my dear friend booze. One of my favorite cocktails is a greyhound. Look at these yummy greyhound jello shots I found while daydreaming.
♥ I need a good camera bag. I guess I should concentrate on getting the camera out a little more often to earn it first...
♥ Just watched Trailer Park Boys "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys" last night. Hilarious. The Man ran it back at Mia's urging cause I missed Mr. Lahey penis shot when I walked out of the room. Shocking.
♥ David Bowie has a new song and may be touring!!
Friday finally
Made it.
It's Friday.
First 5 day work week in weeks and I made it.

Thank the heavens. I am grateful. I am feeling better than I
have since December 8th and have hope that this weekend will be
productive. I have a bunch of cleaning to do. The Christmas tree is still in
the living room. Dying a little more each day and it’s really got to go. I
haven’t meditated since last weekend and I want to do some yoga and some dance practice.
I have however practiced ukulele 2 nights in a row and was brave enough to show
my amazing musician friend Mia how far I’ve gotten in “Sea of Love” when she
came over for dinner last night. Which also indicates I’ve felt well enough to have
a friend over for dinner, so, that was a win as well. The Man has a 7 pound ham
that he and Pink are not gonna be able to finish, so he’s having people over to
help him. I really like this idea, of impromptu dinner parties focused around destruction
of ham before it spoils. Though from what I understand it doesn’t spoil since
it’s cured. I really have no idea. I’ve been vegetarian since I was 6 years
old, and while I’ve had several moments of wanting or trying or wishing to just
join the masses in their carnivorous ways, at this point I don’t feel the need.
There is also hiking on the menu for the weekend. I look
forward to this as well, because I look forward to feeling better about the
human form I exist in. Cutting out the sugar and not eating anything else after
9pm has helped to flatten out my belly this week, so, that’s nice.
I’ve learned, in many very painful examples, never to let my
guard down, never to pat myself on the back, never to sigh with relief. But,
still, I am so glad I feel a little closer to physically normal than I have in
a month.
I’ll go back to posting pretty pictures with quotes under
them now for your viewing pleasure.

Drained
Tired today.
Drained.
I don't want to sit here in cubical nation and try to concentrate on business, but I've taken too many sick days lately, and it's only the 8th day of the year...I need to save some in case I get sick again this year. Though, I really, really hope that doesn't happen. Back to back illness in under a month, I pray I'm done for 2013. I really want to spend the rest of this year making myself strong and determined. I was already so tired of feeling lost, weak and emotional. To add physically ill to the mix for the last month has kicked me in the butt. It sucks. I want to be done.
I'd like to save those remaining sick days for playing hooky. Long mornings spent laying in bed with the man I love. Having sex and then lazily wandering to the living room to drink coffee and smoke. Putting gas in the truck and driving up the coast to listen to the waves hit the shore and sip spiked lemonade under the sun...
Other days. Different days. Future days.
Not today.

New post about no new posts
Nothing this weekend. No happy song or rant or rave.
It was a really low-key weekend.
I've been sick. Still am. Got sick after my first Bootcamp class way back on December 10th and have pretty much been sick since. There was a small reprieve where I thought I might be better, then woke up sick Jan. 2nd. It's a huge bummer. Bootcamp resumes today and I won't be going due to still not being entirely well. I don't want to push it and end up sicker, or all over again. It's an awful flu/sick with fever and sweats and headache and runny nose and cough and dizziness. I've spent 3 days out of the office on it. I can't afford more. I just got my vacation days at work, but the sick days come in in October, and I don't want to use up more this early in the year. So, I am just going to sit at my desk and be a fat lump of a human and feel my tight blouse and tight slacks suffocate me.
There were wins to the weekend. I did meditate BOTH days and last night got The Man to sit don and try it for 8 and a half minutes with me! YEAH!! Fucking SCORE! I realize that I haven't explained how huge this is previously, but it is a really big deal to me that he even gave it a try and he also said he would be willing to try it again. It made me really happy.
Other win was finally deciding to start using Proactive for my hurting, gross, acne covered skin, it's day 3 and it does actually look better. I'm not getting my hopes up, as I know I should never do that, but it does look better already.
3rd win was went to the Fantastic Sam's across the street from my place and got my hair cut. This place had horrible reviews and I was really skeptical when I walked into a room of woman eating and talking in the back and not being greeted or really consulted about my hair. But, it turned out really nice! I love the way it looks now!
I also had a lovely visit with my older sister for my birthday and received some birthday money from her which will pay for a massage I am in desperate need of this coming weekend and will help pay for the dye job on my hair. :)
So, despite being sick and fat, life's not all bad.
