Giving up caffeine.
I made it almost 4 days before the intense headache got the best of me. It may have just been a stress headache from some issues going on at work, but I think it's just a bad time to stop the caffeine. Even though I was sore and feeling gross tonight I still wanted to work out. I had my Eminem cd goin, and I walked down to the gym, all pumped, only to find it being occupied. Sigh. I figured I'd wait in the pool area until the machine i wanted was open. Sigh. They lock it at 11 now. I felt my blood boiling so I figured I'd use my adrenaline for good, and started to jog. I probably jogged close about 1/2 of a mile before my body realized that my brain was irrational and I'm supposed to be feeling tired. It wasn't the workout i was looking for, but hey, it was still a decent workout.
I just found out today that the autistic girls mom might want to move her to a state hospital (no socialization..she'd be there for life) so she'd be closer to home... I am praying that it doesn't ammount to anything, because she's made so much progress and it would all go downhill if they go back to freakin' straightjacketing her when she acts outs... It makes me feel so helpless. I've done such a good job of detatching myself from the kids, but it'll kill me if her mom pulls her out of the program right when we are making progress. I'm glad I wasn't informed about all this before her mom was at the program today (returning her from an HV). I don't usually work wednesdays but I came in today because our other girl had a dr appointment in Austin and the autistic girl has trouble when her mom returns her. Anyway.. I don't think I could have kept my cool with her mom (who loves me...) if I had known of this information. I'm hoping this won't ammount to anything, but if they pull her out I may just look into transfering to another facility in San Antonio. We'll see...
My parents and I are looking for a nice 4drm house in SA since they want to move down within the next year. It's been really fun looking at houses and stuff that would cost so much in MA, but are a 3rd of the price here..and gated communities! The yuppie in me ays Wee!. I'm looking forward to (slowly) decorating the house piece by piece. Here are some examples...
If the room is suitable to be painted red...
If the room must stay white...
This is sort of the look I'm going for...
And the living room; something like this.
We've got the black leather couch already, but I'm not sure if I'd go quite as dark for the room.
Last...I'm on a hunt for these
They are called "bubble chairs", and I've yet to find them for less than 2,000 dollars. Find me one for 500 or less and I'll give ya a pat on the back, M'Kay?
Materialism is a good stress-blocker, eh?
Loveyoumeanit,
