My Random Thoughts

Current Mood: Happy

I HAVE to use 4 weeks of vacation this year. Yes, have to, as in if I don’t I will lose it and one thing I don’t want to lose is 4 weeks of vacation! We have some tentative plans to take some long weekends here and there, but I didn’t think we were going to do a big vaca this year….that is until Leslie called yesterday.  There may be a live-aboard in our future - WOOHOO! Now we need to figure out what we’re doing, where we’re going, when we’re going, but that gives me something to look forward to. Now the research needs to begin.

Other than that, we still have the plans of a few long weekends and I’m going to be taking some porchview vacation (can you say lay by the pool with a good book?). Its funny how my whole attitude has changed. That was probably the best thing that happened today!

So - here were my goals:

Fitness Goals: 5x Week Cardio, 3x Week Strength
Creativity Goals: Write More! Stamp More!
Educational Goals: Photography Class, Dance Class
Professional Goals: Finish Certifications, Attend Meetings

Let’s see - I’ve been achieving my creativity goals in different ways (hello crochet). My fitness goals have been waxing and waning…..educational and professional are on the back burners while I figure out how to balance creativity, fitness, work and life! Its getting busy over here.

I have many thoughts spinning around in my head, but i’m not quite sure how to put them down. I guess I need to start and see where they go…..

I feel like I’ve worked a week in the last 2 days. It’s pretty sad when I have to ask people what day it is…..now that I know its Tuesday, I know it’s JERICHO day, of course, I hope I can manage to stay awake long enough to actually watch it tonight. I may have to catch it on the small screen on the web tomorrow morning.

Life is good. That may be quite the segue, but it’s true. I have a purring cat on my lap (ok, under my arm). I’ve been trying to switch their food to a ‘human grade’ better quality, no grain diet. I’d like to put them on a raw diet, but just small changes right now. Even with the small changes, I’ve seen some big changes in the girls. They all have more energy. Of course that’s not good at 2am, but overall, it’s good. The litterbox is better, and they seem happy and healthy. My research is telling me that its better to have a diet for them that is closer to their natural diet. Last week I was wondering if I was going to be able to do this. Champagne seemed to enjoy the food, but the other three walked away. This week, they all seem to be liking it. By next week, who knows what they’ll be liking.

My crochet habit is still going strong. I’ve completed placemat - and i’m half way through the 2nd. I wanted to make 4, but I don’t think i’ll have enough of the same type of yarn to do it. I may have to use a different color.

Ok, doesn’t feel like i’m going to make it beyond the next 10 minutes, time to make jeffy’s lunch and find the bed.

Work has been busy. My new hobby is keeping me away from the computer ( I think that’s a good thing ) .  This time change is killing me. I hate working when its dark in the mornings. I love the extra sunlight at night, but i don’t know that’s a fair tradeoff.

I got a new light for my workspace and i’m still getting used to it. Haven’t figured out the right adjustment where I get the light I need without having it in my eyes.

I want to go back to sleep for an hour, but I don’t have that luxury. Too much to do.  Although i think I will get my status done and then entertain a nap.
