Insane Random Ramblings

It’s the day after New Year’s Day and it’s already dragging. The day after a holiday is usually a really slow day. It just drags by and seems to go even more slowly than usual. But today feels weird. It feels like it’s a Monday instead of a Friday. I keep thinking about things that I need to do “this week”, but they’re things I really need to do next week.

The plus side is that it is Friday and the weekend is here.

I made yesterday my spa day. After I watched 2 football games I went and started my treatment. I took a nice long bubble bath. I exfoliated and just really pampered myself. I think it took me at least 90 minutes in all. I felt really good once I got done. I plan on doing this more often.

Then only downfall is that I scrubbed a little too hard so my skin pretty sensitive today. Now I know the next time to take it easy. And there will definitely be a next time.

Christmas that is. I don’t live near my family and I couldn’t go home this year. I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the holiday season at all. I’m just ready to get back to normal. Well as normal as can be until after New Year’s Day. Then everything will really be back to normal.

And just guess which things got left off of my list? Of all of the things to leave off, it was my writing and my spa day! I really need to get both done too. I have some ideas that I really need to write down. I don’t know why I keep procrastinating either. The longer I wait, the more diluted the ideas will be. I need to write them down while they’re fresh in my mind. I know this yet I still don’t do it. Hopefully I’ll get some writing done this week.

I don’t even know why I skipped my spa day. I really do need to exfoliate my skin and that seems like a nice relaxing way to spend the day. I’ll probably do it this weekend. Who knows, I have off on Thursday and I don’t have any plans. Maybe I’ll do it then.

Ugh it’s terrible. The worse part is that I know exactly why it looks the way it does. Last week I wrote a post about how I ate a bunch of junk food. It was mostly chocolate, which I’m allergic to. Anyway this week my face looks like swiss cheese. I still had a bunch of chocolate left and I hurry up and ate it just to get rid of it. Now I want to go get some of the best fat burners I can find that also flush out your system so I can get rid of all of the chocolate. At least then maybe my face would clear up.

The next time I order candy from a coworker, I’ll make sure to freeze some instead eating it all at one time.

Have I mentioned how much I hate Winter lately? I really do. I was supposed to go somewhere yesterday but then there was this snow/ice storm so I couldn’t go. Now I have to either go tomorrow or wait until Saturday afternoon. Of course Saturday will be a madhouse with everyone doing their Christmas shopping.

I’m trying to do everything I can to make sure that this is my last Winter in the cold!

At least not on Saturday anyway. I have my eye appointment for 10:20 in the morning. That means I’ll have to be up by 8:00am. For most people that is sleeping in but I consider 10am sleeping in.

It’s cold outside and I don’t even get to rest. Sigh, at least I don’t have to worry about doing homework. That’s something I guess, right?!?!

Ugh I know I shouldn’t eat a lot of junk but this weekend was really bad. I ate almost a whole box of chocolate covered pretzels. Did I mention that I’m allergic to chocolate in large amounts? Yeah that’s gonna be a good look for me next week. I’ll be some kind of scary looking. I’ll have hives all over the place. Did I mention the candy plus the piece of cheese cake. Oh and I have a pizza for dinner tonight. I love pizza.

I guess it’s a good thing I’m still working out or I would have gained a ton of weight over the last month. I don’t think diet pills alone would have helped me. Maybe it’s over-eating because it’s Winter or maybe it’s just the holiday season in general. Whatever it is, I’ll be glad when I get back on track and start watching what I eat again.

Because it snowed like crazy. There wasn’t a lot of snow, only about 2 inches. But the salt trucks had never come out and the roads were really bad. There were a bunch of accidents out there too. Most of them were people that just slid off of the road because of the ice. Driving on ice is even worse than driving on snow.

Maybe I’ll go this weekend coming up. If I don’t make it then, I doubt if I’ll get it done before the end of the year rush which will be a total bummer.

I am so tired. I haven’t been sleeping lately at all. Between being stressed about work and school, I’m lucky if I sleep for 4 hours per night. Then I sleep all day on Saturday and Sunday trying to make up on the sleep that I didn’t get during the week. I thought about buying one of those Rancilio Silvia expresso maker thingies but I decided against it. Instead I’ll just keep drinking my Diet Coke and going on my famous 11am run for energy.

Just 1 more week and school is done for the semester. That’s a major stress reliever right there.
