[Every sky was your own kind of blue]

Today was freaking busy! I studied and had lunch with the girls. I sweat my butt off on the way home, showered and chilled for an hour or so and then dad and I went grocery shopping. 2 hours and damn near $300 later, we got home, tired and sore. Grocery shopping for 2 weeks is hard work! 

I need to study tonight but I am not motivated. 

Tomorrow I am taking my car to get checked out and going with mom to get some stuff at Sam's. Then I have to find a daycare to observe, I have to turn in the form Tuesday and have procrastinated all month. I hope I don't have any problems... I need to write up my child interviews and the daycare observation this week cuz I have to start on a major project next week and have an Adoption seminar for school Friday. I need to go through a bunch of clothes to either trash, donate or keep sometime this week too.

I've also been planning my birthday, I think we're going to go to sing karaoke at this place in Houston if they have room. I emailed the place about reservations and am waiting to hear back. I am a little nervous about this but I gotta face my fear sometime!

[Say goodbye to my heart tonight]

I need to be asleep right now but I just can't quite make it to bed. There are so many other things I could be doing (like not studying).

Yesterday, my car a/c stopped working. I just had the compressor changed out for a different problem a month or two ago, I'm hoping that there is a warranty or something that will cover this. I'm assuming that they put in new freon... I don't know what else it could be. I was not a happy camper yesterday after I spent time putting on makeup and doing my hair only to have it ruined by sweat and wind.

Last night was my classmate N's birthday, we went out to a pub with a handful of other friends from school and had an awesome time. I got home late and slept in til 11.

Today, I studied for a bit then helped dad shave Kody and Pepper. Mandy came over and her and mom made pecan pancakes with strawberries, yum! I meant to study this evening but I was tired. I ended up watching Vampire Diaries, Castle and Bones with the fam. I'm SO happy my shows are back on!

I finally got to talk to C this morning, yay! He had a busy day yesterday and is still looking for a flat so he hasn't been around much :( I hope he gets settled soon. It's only been like 10 days since he left but it feels like it's been so much longer! I think the longest we have spent apart is 2 weeks; when he was at chess camp last summer. It sucked then and it sucks now. I'm trying not to be all emo about it but sometimes I can't help it. I am glad that I have awesome friends (and fam) who are there for me. <3

What Scent Yankee Candle Are You?

You Are Autumn Leaves

You are even-tempered and good-natured. You've chosen to minimize drama in your life. You are patient and empathetic. You have a lot of sympathy in your heart. You're always willing to do a favor for someone you care about. Your generosity knows no bounds. You are a great listener and a great friend. People are lucky to have you in their lives.

The First Rule of Blogthings Is: You Don't Talk About Blogthings

Here I go again...

I finished up my last clinical at the children's hospital yesterday. I was in the clinic this time and gave vaccinations and watched the nurse do hearing and vision screenings. Most of the kids were in for Well Child Checks. I was running around a lot but it was fun and I learned a lot.

My sister had her surgery yesterday. They removed her stent and tried extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), she's sore but glad to have the stent out.

I went to the doctor Tuesday and, as I suspected, I gained all the weight I had lost last year back (and more!). I'm not happy about that. The doc suspects diabetes and wants me to check my blood sugar twice a week. She also put me back on metformin but only 500 mg (I was on 1500 mg last year). I want her to increase it, but I guess I'll wait til I see her again before I start questioning her.

I joined this daily challenge thingy through facebook and am really liking it. I am also finding out how out of shape I am. I used to be really flexible, now I'm not. I want to build that back up. I searched online for exercises but I can't do half of them so I got the bright idea to search for plus size exercises and had much better luck! I found a lot of sites that recommend walking and yoga and not just regular yoga-fat girl yoga!

Yoga for Round Bodies
Heavy Weight Yoga
Mega Yoga
Plus-sized Pilates and more!

I'm gonna see if the library has any of these and if not I'll probably see if we can order one from amazon. I am also going to start walking again. I need to quit making excuses and just do it.

I really miss C. Having an "online" relationship sucks after having a real life one for a year. I feel like I don't have a boyfriend sometimes, it's like we've lost that connection. We don't get to talk to each other like we used to and even though we have voice chat, its not the same. I haven't spoken to him in over 24 hours so I'm a little frustrated. Hopefully, we'll be able to talk soon.
