I guess I'll get this going today!  I don't know what's going on with me right now.  My knee gave me horrible grief on the 12th, so I took a week off running, but then it was horrible again on the 19th.  So I'm calling my orthopedist this morning and w

Good morning everyone!  It's Monday and tomorrow is my plastics consult - eek!  I'm excited and nervous.  Aside from class and voice lesson today, most of the day will be spent getting ready for the rest of the week which is significantly more busy.  B

My consult with Dr. Michaels is Tuesday.  Sooooo excited and nervous!  I have a ton of questions for him, but the most important two are "how many surgeries" and "how much money."  :P

It is gorgeous here today!  It's going to be in the HIGH 60s (WTF!) and I'm looking forward to running in shorts and a t-shirt.  In February.  

Today should be a good day for me.  I slept in until 8 which felt amazing after having alarms for 6

Yay, it's the weekend!  Once I survive this morning, I should be able to enjoy the rest of the weekend a bit :)  This morning I'm meeting with my first local literacy council student - a young person who wants to improve their score on the ASVAB, parti

It's Friday!  Thank goodness.  The end of some unexpected craziness is almost in sight!  I've got fitness classes this morning, then some time in the library to finish up my essay that's due tonight.  Then it's bereavement group (for which I haven't ha

Today is a running day, but I opted to skip it to give my knee another day of rest and avoid the 30 feels like BRR outside.  I'll probably regret that choice in the future, but right now I'm okay with it!  I got a 98/100 on yesterday's anatomy lecture

I ended up snacking, again, yesterday.  Today I need to work hard to pay attention to potential triggers and conquer them because this is not okay.  

I've got my first big anatomy exam for the term today - respiratory system!  I feel pretty com

Hi all.  I was giving the opportunity (and I'm still all o_O about it) to meet with one of my congresspeople on Saturday to talk with him about ACA.  I'm trying to gather stories and information so that I can be intelligent and engaging on the topic an

My knee seems to be feeling better today!  If that changes before the end of business, I'll call my orthopedist to schedule an appointment.  I sort of feel like I should schedule one anyway, but I'm wrestling with myself over it because I do NOT want t

Happy Monday!  My only plans today are class and voice lesson, so I'm looking forward to a relatively calm day.  I didn't manage to run my planned distance yesterday due to knee pain, I still ran almost 9 miles, but I'm frustrated that I couldn't do th

Yesterday was crazy.  I went to my college to write cards for Planned Parenthood in the morning and then I hosted Tamalada until about 10pm.  We made around 300 tamales in various savory and sweet flavors. So much fun!  (There were three families prese

Good morning all!  I've got a busy day ahead - I'm hosting a tamalada with friends (three families, ten people total!) so people are coming over around 1pm for that.  We'll be making a TON of tamales, since they're easier to make a billion of all at on

Today is a little different than normal because I don't have my regularly schedule math class and it's my partner's birthday!  So with the time I'm gaining from not having class, he and I are going out to lunch to celebrate.  Woo!  He took a week of va

It's hump day!  And another day when I get to come home after school instead of eating lunch there and being out for the rest of the day.  That makes it a good day in my book :)  The weather is supposed to be nice again today too, which is good since m

Happy Tuesday!  It's going to be warm enough here that I plan to wear shorts to class.  In February.  WTF!  When I go out to run shortly, I'll be in capris and a LS heatgear shirt, because it's not QUITE warm enough yet for shorts and a t-shirt, but it

My weekend ended up being surprisingly productive so I'm actually feeling ready for the week to come.  That was unexpected at the start of the weekend!  Today I've got anatomy class, voice lessons, and date night with my partner.  Plus all the homework

Another busy day here, but, seriously, when is it ever not a busy day for me?  At least some of the "busy" is getting to go see a movie and running 4.4 miles :D  I also get a break from school on Thursday, since my prof is out of town, so that's someth

Today is an exciting day for me!  I've got literacy tutor training for most of the day so that I can learn how to tutor adults in basic literacy skills.  I'm super nervous and excited - I hope I'm up to the challenge and responsibility!  When I get hom

How'd it get to be February?!  My sense of time is weird right now.  I've spent every day this week so far thinking that it's much later in the week.  I've got training on Saturday to be a literacy council tutor and I have FOUR hours of pre-training wo

It's been a month with my 2017 goals and I'm happy with them so far!  They're challenging, but attainable. Yay!  

Plastics

1. Reach plastics goal by March – 18 pounds to go. (I assume, I didn’t weigh this morning.)<

It's been a while since I've posted one of these, since I eat out so rarely!  But I'm meeting up with a friend for dinner tonight and I'm excited.  It's restaurant week, so I get to pick one option per course.  Pretend money is no option (lol, I wish)

There's snow today, but I still have class because school only had a 2-hour delay.  This is a good thing, because missing class doesn't remove obligation from learning the material.  

1: protein shake
2: tuna pouch (have to eat lunch at sc

So my day got a bit more hectic.  My immigrant partner decided that he wanted to go protest the immigration ban in DC today, and, of course, I'll be going with him.  Then it'll be rush home to make it to the cookbook club dinner.  So this morning, befo
