No not a good groove either. I’m talking about the groove of getting up and going to work every day. I was on vacation last week and I didn’t have to get up until I was ready to get up. I did wake up almost every morning at my normal time but I had the pleasure of laying back down and sleeping in.
Today is my first day back and I’m already tired. Hopefully this week will fly by and I’ll get to enjoy our upcoming 3 day weekend.
And I am totally out of money! I can’t believe I waited until the last minute to decide that I wanted to go somewhere for vacation. I have no idea what I’m going to do for an entire week. Had I planned ahead, I could have gone on a nice vacation. Renting one of the Outer Banks homes on the beach sounds like a really good idea right now. I may even be able to still get a reservation but I don’t have anyone to go with since it’s so last minute.
I’ll figure out something to do close to home so I won’t just sit around the house. And I may just be able to squeeze a few days at the beach in there after all.
I don’t even know what’s wrong. I do know that I took off 2 days this week because I needed to de-stress from work. Then on Wednesday, my first day back, I sat at my desk and started crying. It was brief but I couldn’t believe I was crying at work. I’m under serious pressure right now and it’s starting to get to me. Most of it is self-imposed though. I put way more pressure on myself than anyone else ever could.
I don’t know what’s going on but I’ll be glad when this passes. I don’t like this feeling at all.
And it’s not working at all. I really want to go on vacation for my birthday. None of my “friends” want to go. Either they have kids and can’t go or they’ve already gone. Most of them go to places I don’t want to see or they only stay 3 or 4 days which is not really worth it in my opinion. So I’m trying to plan a solo trip but it is super expensive.
I just don’t have that kind of cash. I don’t know what I’m going to do yet because I really want to go away. I still have at least 2 weeks before I have to make a firm decision. I’ll use that time to try and pull a rabbit out of a hat.
Unfortunately I can’t take advantage of it. I just realized that my car inspection is due right now. I’ll clean out my bank account paying for the work that needs to be done on my car. In addition to the inspection and emissions tests that I need, I also need brakes on my car.
I’m sure that will set me back a pretty penny. So a short trip is out of the question right now. Especially since I still need to look into getting something like CLA to help me lose a few pounds. The last thing I need is to try to get on the plane and be told that I have to buy two seats. It sounds like a joke but it’s really happened to people.
That would be a horrible way to start or end a vacation.
Not a lot though. Probably 1 or 2 thousand or so. I have to fly or earn miles every 18 months to keep my miles active. I haven’t flown in that long and I won’t be flying before the end of summer. I have almost 60,000 miles in that account and I don’t want them to expire. I plan on using them for a really nice vacation within the next 2 years.
I could buy something through the airlines shopping service. I mean I don’t really need an excuse to buy a new 55″ Samsung HDTV but I’m trying to hold off on that until my one of my tv’s dies. They’re both going strong so I won’t be buying a new tv for a while. There are also certain things I don’t like to buy online. I don’t like having heavy things shipped because of the cost so I buy them in store.
The miles could take up to 6 weeks to post after my purchase so I’ll be better off just buying a small amount of miles. I need to make sure the miles post before the end of the month because I don’t want to lose any of the ones that I have. Looking on the bright side of things those miles will bring me closer to my dream vacation in a year or two.
I haven’t felt like exercising for the past few weeks. I’ve seriously slacked off of my exercise program recently. I used to exercise 5 or 6 days per week. Now I’m lucky if I get 3 days in. I also have a ton of junk food in the house that I need to eat or get rid of. I can’t even imagine throwing food away. I’ve been planning on going to weightlossstories.org to see what other people have been doing and what works for them. I do realize that not everything will work for everyone but I’m curious as to what’s out there.
I plan on losing some weight this year and I need all the help I can get.
I did want it to be a quiet week but I really wasn’t looking forward to being bored for the whole week. I went out the other day and I massively overspent my money. I bought a bunch of junk really. No not useless junk, I mean junk food. I bought hot dogs, chips, and soda. I did buy some fruit but not as much as I usually buy. It doesn’t even matter that I’m taking weight loss pills because with all of the snacks that I’ve been eating I won’t be losing any weight. Not any time soon anyway. I have to get back on the bandwagon with my exercise and eating program.
Since I don’t have any plans for this week, maybe I’ll plan a menu and actually cook on my days off. Who knows, stranger things have happened.
Man I thought today would never get here. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks at work and I really need the time off. I think it’s because of the fact that I only have 2 weeks worth of vacation now. That’s not really a lot of down time to relax.
Today was also the first day of my vacation. I don’t have anything to do because I don’t have a lot of money. I don’t mind having the extra days to just chill around the house though.
Hopefully my neighbors will cooperate and it will be a nice quiet week.
And I’m am so ready for it. I’m exhausted and I really need a rest. I haven’t really had any days off this year except for sick days and the few holidays that we’ve had. I haven’t had more than 3 days in a row off since last year. I don’t want to think about anything while I’m off either. I may do some shopping for Fall and Winter clothes, Halloween invitations if I decide to have a small get together and things like that. I will go visit some of my family but I don’t know for how long.
I want to rest on my vacation and I hate to say it but my family can sometimes stress me out more than my job.
