Goal Seven

Goal seven is something I have been mulling over for a while and it kind of stumbled it's way into my lap today as I randomly had the day off. I decided to spend the first half of the day outside of my apartment which led to me on many adventures. I looked at apartments (found one I LOVE), did laundry, stuck to the basics of my schedule, made a return, dropped off the dry cleaning, did the dishes, bought the cat Christmas presents, gave and received support from a friend, watched a comedy show on Netflix for an hour, called about my hospital bills, paid my insurance premium, cooked dinner, went grocery shopping, exchanged one of the cat's presents for something else, and somewhere in the middle of all that I went to my local library and got a library card. 

I've been wanting to get back into reading for a long time. The friend that I spoke with earlier said she had so many books to read once we graduated because she finally had time. While I don't necessarily have a ton of free time to read, I want to make time. So goal seven started today when I checked out two books (below). I want to read at least 6 books, cover to cover between now and my 26th birthday. I love young adult fiction, its fantasy and escapism at it's finest and I'm perfectly okay with mediocre plot/dialogue as long as I don't have to think about real world problems for a little bit. 

Today was great, hopefully a day off will come again soon.

In the beginning...

I started a project. It came to me one day while I was looking over all the things I needed to accomplish. Go to the gym. Eat better. Organize. Look at the car.  The list was becoming endless. I thought back to some other times when I felt like I had to juggle a ton of things and writing as something that was there to help.  I turn 25 this year. Apparently this is a big deal? Something about a quarter of a century? Becoming mature? It's going to happen; going to happen very soon actually (like as I post this). So let me introduce you, whoever that might be, to Twenty Five for Twenty Six.  Here I'm going to attempt to complete 25 goals by the time I turn 26. I have a year. One full year; 365 days to complete a set of tasks. Have I completely decide what those twenty five things are? No. I'm going to give myself a little time to figure those out. I know I need to work on losing 25 pounds but the rest of the goals are kind of up in the air!  I also want ...

These Are Not Joanna Eggs!

If you don't know who Joanna is, please see above. She's a Goanna (reptilian creature who crawls on all fours and eat eggs and things) who is a minor character in "The Rescuers Down Under."  The reason she is featured in today's post is because the theme song for that Disney movie has been playing all day at work as part of the fountain show. I heard it mid afternoon and immediately recognized it. I even said to myself "Well now I have to watch The Rescuers Down Under." And here I am doing just that as we wind down for the night.  Water intake was good today and food was decent. So far breakfast has been the low calorie density meal and based on the scale, I have lost three more pounds. But we shall see. Tomorrow is supposed to be a WellDressedWednesday.

Goosebumps

I am all over the place for sure today (the last few days really). Between worrying about things that I have no business worrying about, trying to complete my goals, work, and general adult skills I feel defeated. I’m struggling to find inspiration and motivation to be consistent. I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I find myself exhausted the moment I get home (because my Job is exhausting and so is being at home). I look around my apartment and it’s a disaster (even for me it’s bad) and yet I have no energy to fix it. I can’t focus on anything for very long, I’m getting headaches and joint pain again (I was like this all through out high school). And yet I don’t feel nearly as stressed as I did as a teenager. I don’t understand it at all.  I’m sure that people who see me in person and then read here may be confused. I’m seemingly fine  most days. I’m good at masks. I feel the most authentic at work with my clients. Useful, mostly happy, and capable. I’m good at my job. Why ...
