i've had an interesting few weeks...and i feel like i should say more about it...sadly, i'm having trouble matching words with events and aligning what happened with a particular day...details are way too fuzzy...i know that, on some days, i was downright defeated...on others, i was cautiously optimistic...there were even a few instances where i felt disappointed with almost everyone...
a few days ago, kat's kitty, moo cow, had a 5 kitten litter that i helped her deliver..this was my first experience in any kind of childbirth from that end...i was a little overwhelmed and sad watching each new life begin but very excited, proud, and hopeful at the same time..and and and, they are soooo freaking adorable...moo cow's being an excellent mommy kitty, but i think her neediness is driving kat and andrew bonkers..i hope that part doesn't last very long...
friday morning after work, i had my first experience with an automatic car wash as a car driver/owner...it was pretty fascinating..my opinions on washing cars is that most of the time, it's pointless..outside is dirty, and birds are prone to pooing on them...i didn't want to show up to my planned social event later that evening with a crap covered car...i paid $7 bucks for a basic wash, and it didn't even remove all the crap...i feel like i wasted the money as i parked in a garage away from people, and there's already poo on the car again...
this past evening was a venture in being social...as overwhelmed as i was by the whole experience, mostly by sheer amount of people, i'm really grateful that everyone was nice and polite as can be...i'm satisfied with the overall experience..and i had two awesome people around that made it worlds easier..i think i'll go back next month (finances permitting, of course)...
gavin's 8th birthday and his party are today...we have to be out in j-town by 5pm...i'm pretty stoked about hanging out with gavin on his birthday, having fun, and playing laser tag, but driving in j-town infuriates me almost as much as driving downtown AND the lack of sleep may be an issue later on as well as tomorrow morning at work...i'll suck it up for him, though...i hope he has an awesome day!
i've also been working on a few aspects of myself: mostly physical and mental health..i'm not sure how well i'm doing since feedback is rare outside of the onslaught of arguments that is my relationship these days..and don't worry..that's not how i see the entirety of the relationship..i find some comfort and entertainment there, too..i just hope for improvement, but i digress...kat and i have been jogging for 4 weeks, and we've made leaps and bounds..it's exciting watching the results, but stressful moving on to the next step in our program...i'm definitely proud of how long we've stuck to it and how far we've come...i've been watching my portions and calories...not too closely on either, but just enough to be aware..i've been more diligent about taking my thyroid medicine because i know that will help keep the weight off and be healthier...i've been trying not to yell or get worked up as much, but it's difficult...i'm an overemotional creature...those feelings are hard to curb and control...i fail way too much, but i keep pushing onward...
fall semester started a few weeks ago..i was ahead in both of my classes...now, i'm a bit behind..i plan to remedy that very soon...probably not today, but maybe monday or tuesday...i'm starting to feel more confident in my ability to code...i just have to fine tune my style and pay more attention to my math and logic...
as for work, sunday and monday were both optional sorts...being that i need a bit of extra cash, i decided to work both...sunday is regular pay, and monday works out to be triple time for me...holiday sorts tend to be super, extra, mega slow and sometimes sorter than normal...i can get into that..i'll probably get paid for reading and/or chatting most of the time..i can live with that...i like easy money....
i guess i really could go on and on and on...i had more words to say than i thought...most of this is trivial and serves no other purpose than for me to sort out events and my thoughts...sometimes, information is easier to process and understand when you see it in text or hear it...
i suppose i'm going to keep chugging on, plugging away, and attempting to better my station in life...
until next time, be safe and have as much fun as possible...
