Today was my last real day at work, which means my winter break officially begins. Here’s what’s on the agenda:
Laying in bed
Watching movies in bed
Sleeping as much as I want
Running errands that I have to run, reluctantly
Cooking something yummy like homemade spaghetti sauce and beef stew
Eating
Going on some walks
Organizing/cleaning my room
Laying in bed some more.
In which I predict the future...Again?!
I’m glad the big holiday is over now. What a relief. Really though, it wasn’t that bad. I guess. I told someone in my family that I needed to not talk to them for a while. That I needed a break. We’ll see how that goes. I’m not sure he’ll respect my boundary, but hey, look at me putting boundaries on relationships. That’s a first. This Christmas I realized that...
Yesterday was a pretty good day. I mean, I worked at 5am so I was tired. And then the tire pressure light came on in my car so I took it to the shop and found out that there was a nail in the same tire I literally just replaced about three weeks ago. Seems funny because there is literally less than 5,000 on the thing and I drive like 3 miles a day, if that. Anyway, the good news was that my tire...
Another 2011 intention I have is to give yoga a decent chance. A few months ago I wrote about how I am starting to like the practice and found a teacher that suits me. However, she only teaches twice a week and my schedule doesn’t always align with her classes. So, since I’m not going to be working next semester and am making every effort to take better care of myself, I finally bought...
This is some crazy shit
So that movie Black Swan really fucked with me on multiple levels. I felt depressed the rest of the day and couldn’t really shake it for a few. That night though, I had a strange dream in which someone I know from work invited me over to watch the movie Footloose. On a superficial level I thought the dream was strange just because I hardly know the person in the dream and Footloose is like...
New Year Intentions and being an orphan
I think this is the third year now that I have found making New Year’s intentions are much more satisfying than resolutions. Don’t set yourself up for failure, people.
I have to say, 2010 has been a good year to me. It was the year that I really started pursuing my dream, working hard and found support in myself for the first time. In 2010 I found a good therapist and started doing...
WatchThanks Erin for sharing Pummelvision! Pretty dope.
I am admittedly not perfect. But I never want to bring anyone down. I try to be nice, helpful, insightful, loving and sharing. I try. Again, I am not perfect. When I am met with defensiveness I stop and wonder, did I do something wrong? Am I projecting and it’s not being taken well? I ponder. I think about what I did to cause the defensiveness. I take my responsibility in it, if any. But I...
I’m not going to give anything away but I saw Black Swan today and it resonated with me on so many levels. The movie is straight-forward yet completely metaphorical at the same time. It’s the ultimate battle of true self v. false self. Who is the real person? Who is holding you back? Who are you fighting against? Who wins? Sometimes the two get so intertwined you can’t even tell...
