Day 5

August 11th

Everything is ready for my mom to come today! She's staying for the weekend for the Bradford Reception. We've cleaned the house, washed her sheets, changed the gross shower curtain, and I'm going to wipe out my car on my way to work. It'll be so nice to see her! I'm really thankful to have her so far away. It makes these visits that much more special.

In other news, no one is going to be at the office with me today, so I'm wearing workout clothes and no makeup. I went to the gym today to lift weights and didn't really sweat. I plan on wearing the same clothes to work no matter how gross that is.

I also got bit by a bug yesterday and my foot has swollen up so big wearing my shoes is a bit of a pain. I feel like the pressure is helping with the swelling though.

Lastly, I started Macbeth last night. I got twenty pages into the prologue where it simply explains what to expect in the book and how to read shakespeare. From what I remember in high school he did move around the words in sentences causing the stand alone sentences to not make sense for various reasons. It'll be interesting to decypher what he is talking about and what each paragraph as a whole means. This paired with a bunch of words I won't know is going to make this book a hard one.

I feel like my next book should be one that isn't a Shakespearean novel because of this. But we will see!

Day 34

Yesterday was a hard day for America. It was the Las Vegas shooting as well as Tom Petty died at 66. There are reports that over fifty people died in vegas and hundreds were injured. It's the worst shooting in American history. Apparently the guy passed all the background checks and no one saw this coming. Apparently he camped out in his hotel room overlooking the concert and just started shooting. He even reloaded before any new what was going on. They say he even had bombs in his room. He ended up turning the gun on himself before anyone could get to him. These are the times we live in.... I'm not sure what is worse, feeling numb with that situation, or not being surprised that it happened. I intentionally stay away from large crowds because of these types of things, and am constantly aware of my surroundings so I'm not in a situation like this. It's terrible to think that that's become a lifestyle. I want to donate blood to help with the need of saving othe...

Day 3

August 9th  Why are Wednesdays the hardest days to workout on? I have never liked to and I can always talk myself out of it every morning. As I sit here with my coffee and undeserved smoothie, I think about how much better I'd feel if I had gotten up and went to my cycling class. I'd say I hope I workout on Wednesdays but man oh man do I hate doing that.  I'm also deciding on if I want to wash my hair today. I was told by my hair stylist to only wash it three times a week, but if I don't workout on Wednesdays I can get by with two times a week. I can't believe how thick it's gotten by doing this. It's extremely healthy and I barely have any fallout or breakage now. It's a miracle cure I'm telling you.  Work was alright yesterday. Justin actually complemented some of the things I do. I don't live off of his approval but it's such a rare occurrence it really is something to note. It wasn't on anything big, just that I'm sounding m...

Day 33

I think I shared some of my dark thoughts with Matt this weekend. I've realized that it's become an issue and I need to read about what to do to not have these thoughts. I also think I'm going to be limiting my drinking for awhile so I can really get a handle on these things.  I've started following a bunch of podcasts and am reading articles about which books help with this type of thought process. I believe I have a inferiority complex as well as a hard time feeling vulnerable with others. Thankfully there's a lot to learn on both subjects which makes me feel hopeful. I don't want to be the crazy one that ends the marriage because I pushed Matt away.  I've thought about counselling but want to try things on my own first. If I still feel this way in 4 months, or worsen in the next 4 months,  then I will go talk to someone.  I also know that a lot of this has to do with work and how bad it is. I really need to step up my game with finding a new career....
