{V}Day and thoughts
V-day celebrating was quiet. Its still ongoing actually, kinda. Zak had to work, then he got a nap then we spent the rest of the night together and reminiscing about old days when we first were together.
His parents got their married children books: 1001 ways to be Romantic. I was skimming when I found the one about how overtime you develop a sort of ESP, cause you've learned each others likes and dislikes as well as habits. And how you should use the ESP to do something nice, like buying a Gift, not a Present which it says is explained in #16. So I flipped to 16 where it explains that a Gift is something that you're sure the receive wants and a Present being something you're giving the receive because it's something you want them to have (ex. lingerie). I joked that he should get me Gifts more instead of presents but then as I thought about it... hes always done nothing but that - gotten me things I've wanted, not things he wanted me to have. Just made me appreciate him even more.
His parents also offered to watch Riley for a day or two. Since we moved away they dont get to see him as much, I think its been since Christmas that they saw him last. They used to watch him 2-3 days a week for a year, then 1 day a week for the past 2-3 years. Hes been begging to see Jenny and Summer as well and when I asked if he wanted to sleepover for a night or two he was elated. So we brought him up yesterday, then went to dinner and a movie with Jon, our usual hangout routine, since we haven't really seen him and he happened to have no work that night. Next time I wanna do something different with Jon (and Tiff if shes not working). Something... not so blah. Dinners fine but watching a movie we don't get to interact much and he did mention their tight funds recently. I mentioned it to Zak so maybe next time... we'll see.
We got home and stayed up till 5am, and actually got to sleep in with absolutely no interuptions. Which sounded nice at first, but now, I think it subconsciously excuses my laziness, something I want to break. It was like saying "being lazy today is ok"... which its really not. But Zak mentioned going to the Pool Hall today. Maybe we will, whenever he wakes up.
...
Its been a while. I used to be hugely attached to my journals, writing in them every day, or every other day. Today it seems I forget or run out of time.
Scratch that. How do I run out of time? Im up till 2-4am lately. Ive been overly lazy it seems. Sleeping in till 11am or Noon - staying up till super late. I guess its from the lack of a job. I blame Zak a little as well, and so does he. His way of dealing with stress (work) lately has been to sleep till 10pm or 11pm after work so if I want to spend anytime with him, cause I do, I have to wait till he gets up.
I do have a job atm, but I don't. I'm working for the city "volunteer" ambulance crew. They paid for my class, tests and certification which was $700. But right now I'm on 'probation' so Im not paid. But what they pay isn't like a full time job anyway because its 'volunteer'. But other than that I'm not working. Which has been nice, trying my hand at a stay and home mom. But its lead to my recent laziness.
I was doing great with trying to eat right and exercising every day. I was on track for 3, almost 4 weeks. I lost 7lbs and almost an inch off my waist and hips. Then I really went off the wagon. I found 2 childhood favorite splurges I had forgotten about and it really got out of control when I decided to get them as a reward for doing so well. Sixlets and Salt and Vinegar chips, and not exercising. I'm trying to get back on track its harder than I thought. I gained 3lbs and 3/8'ths of and inch back.
