1/23/2013

I've decided that I will use this blog more like a diary then anything else, tracking my life for myself, but please feel free to read and comment.

Yesterday was the anniversary of my sister's birth.  Happy Birthday Jessica, you are the best and worst sister.  Hah you are the only one so you are all things sister to me.  Anyway, I hope it was a good one and maybe I'll see you this weekend to celebrate.

Work was alright yesterday.  I'm responsible for finishing up all the paperwork to closeout a seven story hospital tower.  As you can imagine there is a paperwork overload.  But I've pretty much got my stuff squared away.  I have a meeting in a few minutes to go over my progress and figure out what the next move is.

After work on Wednesdays I have a guitar lesson!!! Which is something I usually look forward too. And it was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of life. I pick up it up very quick yet I don't practice often which will be my undoing.  I know what I should do, but my fingers don't want to go there.  It's amazing how little dexterity I have with my fingers, but it's getting better.  I told my instructor that I wanted to read actual music and not just tab.  He was a bit taken aback, he said that most adults don't want to learn the music reading portion  I am not most people.  My goal this week is to practice a little bit, even if it's just five minutes, every day.

Then it was off to Fullerton College to see a counselor and make sure the Trig class I registered for at Mt Sac would transfer back to FCC. I finally feel a bit less stressed out after registering for Trig.  That's one of three classes I want to take this semester.  I've got to petition to add College Algebra the first week of Feb, and then register for a metallurgy class in mid Feb.  But now that, it's all figured out and taken care off I feel so much better.

Originally, I had an appointment at 5pm to meet with my SCUBA instructor but she had to cancel, so I headed to the gym early and read my book for a bit.  I really love Game of Thrones so far, it is a great story.  I worked out twice yesterday, that was intense.  I did the normal WOD which was crazy, and then another from a week or so ago which was OK.  Then home for laundry and sleep :).  That's it.

Some asides.  As I'm trying to get certified for SCUBA, it's very important to be able to equalize your ears which consists of blowing air up into those ear air spaces.  My mother has bad ears and had always told us never to do this.  So my whole life I've been afraid of this action and now I'm trying to do it frequently throughout my day to get used to the feeling. It's strange, haha.  Also ran across The National Smokejumper Association today, I'm intrigued...

One of my goals in life is to be healthy and with that in mind I've been working out a lot and also want to improve my eating.  For a while I was eating pretty strict paleo and losing a lot of weight but then I got sloppy.  Now I want to start putting that discipline back in.  With that in mind, I think I am also going to include what I'm eating, my workouts and how I'm feeling on a daily basis. EEK

Wander on my friends, wander on.
