Ahhh, Friday arrives.
Hanging out at the office. Feels so diurnal ;)
I'm out of the habit of actually updating live journal. I used to be in that habit, all the time, constantly. I think I annoyed people with all of my old posts? lol.
Now days, it's harder!!!!
Last night was super good and super lame.
Good because I did a bunch of stuff that had been piling up and I'd wanted to.
Super bad because I spent a bit of money and it limited my time with Jim considerably.
A week or two ago he had said Tony was talking about getting tickets to the Gallagher show. He's a comedian. I love comedies - and Jim mentioned it specifically regarding me going with them. The way he brought it up made it sound like I was going to get to go.
Sort of jazzed me up and I was like, "Hey look - Jim actually DOES plan cool stuff for us to do," in my head. He struggles at planning anything. I think back to our first date when he said, "errr. I'm not very good at planning stuff to do." Heh. If ever that was a fore-shadow to what years later would sort of irritate me.................
I could say Jim wasn't planning that at all - it was Tony. ;)
Most of our major interesting events were certainly either planned by me, or one of our friends.
Needless to say, he didn't tell me WHAT night, in fact never said another word about it.
Seeing as Jim's schedule has been massively fucked lately... I've been relying on the evenings to make up for the weekend that they didn't give up last weekend.
Wednesday night was nice, we hung out, ate at the brand new Subway on Front street (it opened this week) went to the cupcake shop next door where we had tiny cupcakes instead of their regular giant sized ones.
Walked the dog at the park. While I shouldn't allow Thursday night to over shadow this, I get off work on Thursday, go for a run as soon as I get off the clock, come home to shower.
He is talking on the phone with someone and I realize after he tells me, while trying to make it sound like it was "Tony's" fault ... turns out Tony couldn't have gotten another ticket - and furthermore, the show was THAT night. I was like, "what?!" So, as a Virgo... I really do not like not being with the program ahead of time. AS in - tell me what the hell is happening when, because I sort of arrange my brain around what to expect for the day. Yes, I can roll with it. But is it my preferred mode? No.
I knew if he went to this thing, I wouldn't see him the rest of the night. Or until possibly Friday night. My pet peeve was more about coming home and finding out at the last minute. After he made it sound like Tony should bear the brunt of this... he finally let me know that Tony let him know way in advance what day it was, he just forgot what day it was until today.
Now, that sort of things DOES annoy me. More than re-arranging my brain around an evening by myself. (AT first I was super bummed). Ugh. He spent like 15-20 minutes talking about Tony this and Tony that. Finally - the truth leaked. And he saw that maybe he should take responsibility for the whole thing. I knew intuitively that it wasn't just Tony springing this on him. It was Jim springing it on ME.
Blah. I am a bit of an extremist. I began to think, "this is how he manages every aspect of his life!!!!"
It is probably why he is seldom upset - he really lives in the Now more than a lot of folks. He is not thinking about the future or the past nearly so much.
That's a bonus: He is a buoyant optimist.
It's a drawback: He sucks at planning, thinking ahead, or even pondering backwards.
While I think it is bad to constant be planning - and referencing the past....... doing it to some degree is handy!
Sigh.
I sort of just bailed at that point. I'm not batting 1000 with inter-personal relationships lately.
I'm sort of striking out. What used to come natural - (being social, responding to requests, wanting to put a lot of effort into fixing/keeping things smooth) is getting a bit difficult lately. I just don't want to deal with people - leaving me largely solo in many ways. I guess that's alright... I mean, I'm causing it largely. So - I bailed without saying goodbye. I was just like, it's going to annoy me for him to come try and be sweet as he left to his stupid comedy show to have a good time.
I think it's easier to be independent when you have a social life. I don't.
I don't even know a damn thing about what's going on with OLOTEAS this weekend.
When and Who stole my old life and shat all over it? I'm curious!??! Oh wait. That was me. I stole my life and shat all over it.
So, the evening ended up being okay, after I did some cool things like facial relaxation and eye movement exercises in my car in a random parking lot. It worked better than I thought.
Also been experimenting with arch angels as guides for the moment. I don't even care if they're real or not, at this point imaginary friends are starting to look more and more enticing, opposed to my solo-lonely-life experience.
I went to Sports Authority to buy the UnderArmour shirt I've been wanting (a second one, I bought another one a month back and have really liked it for running and stuff as right now I'm not feeling uber confident about running sans-shirt in only the sports-bra). I'm getting there though!!!! This week I have been trying really hard with the food balancing and succeeding really well!!! Just in time for Lubbock next week, where I hope I can find control over there.
Found a couple of new shorts (I had to buy ALL new shorts). I am trying to buy stuff that I can wear baggy when the time comes here, as I return to my usual smaller state, lol.
Found a shirt that said YOGA inside a heart. A little tighter than my lacking confidence mind wants right now - but I bet it will continue to fit great as I do shrink. Trying to spend my money and still be able to use this stuff as I shift gradually to my pre-April self.
I then was pretty hungry for dinner. So I went home and made myself a tuna melt with an orange smoothie for dinner (the 4.5 mile run caught up to my stomach at that point). Happily ate my meal, and then finally got out to the nail place to get a pedicure. I hate spending cash on pedi's, but I love it at the same time. And they DO last a long time on the toes, opposed to the fingers, which chip and suck within a few days!
Found a place still open, and had a very relaxing pedicure. I chose a color I usually don't choose: bright pink. I am really grooving on it, also. It felt SO good after that run to go to this place, where they took more care than some other places I've been to, to do a calf/foot massage. I was thinking to that asian girl who was my best friend for 30 minutes (my nail lady) "Could I just take you home and you can do this every time I come home from a run? Please????? I have a room! You can stay for free!!!" hahhaa.
It was getting late at that point. Almost 9. After that I went to Fred Meyer to pick up Jim some new socks. I've been wanting to do this for a while. None of his sock match, he rarely wears matching socks and nor does he care. Also his socks are all super old, have holes, and generally suck. Lucky for me they had a buy 2 get 1 free sale, so I bought him 3 packs of Nike Ankle socks. He likes those the best (me too) and they're all the same white, same style, same everything. So, as I find old socks, I am throwing them out 1 by 1. There will be no more gross boy socks in the house.
It always amazes me when I buy mansocks ... how big they seem. All of mine seem so small comparatively.
:)
So, he is now sporting a total of 18 pairs of fresh socks. Left them on his computer chair (he is addicted to social media and video games). He will come home anytime (probably like 30 minutes ago) and discover the expensive new wealth. Nike ankle socks aren't cheap. Fortunately for the moment, I'm still rolling it in?
lol.
After the sock expedition, where I also found jewelry 50% off - which enabled me to get a new chain for the one that had broken for my runner pendant - I headed home to my books, where I read until I fell asleep. I was super tired by then.
Only to awake and come back here. To the most boring place on the planet. My office.
Happy Friday! I have a 10:30 chiropractic appointment with my guest chiropractor (my chiropractor is out taking his wife (the owner of my yoga studio) to chemotherapy for her newly diagnosed breast cancer.
So shitty.
My warmest blessings to Annette and her family. :(
They are 2 people who have influenced my life in such amazing ways.
I hope Annette comes through this, and makes it out stronger on the other side. :(
Other random bits: I have been taking shots of Apple Cider Vinegar with glasses of water (it tastes nasty) for this week. I mostly just saw it shown in a video by one of my favorite inspirational women right now: Rainbeau Mars - as a good sports drink.
After using it a bit, I noticed 2 things: appetite suppressant. It's making my psoriasis go away.
For real. I take between 3tsp-2tbsp depending on my mood before each meal. Ish. It's been rather casual, not like a anal retentive thing. It is making that crap on my elbows vanish quicker than anything!!!!
I think there has been something off kilter in my body for a while. I have a very strong suspicion that this is setting it back into balance. This all by accident. Later I googled the stuff, and found out there were so many benefits to it, including aid with weight loss.
I was like, "really? Okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!" hahaha.
So if I can get rid of the psoriasis on my elbows, I will be a happy camper. I had never had it until about 9 months ago or so. Then one day I was stretching on the grass after a run and my elbow scraped against a dry spot in the grass and that seemed to irritated it. From then on, I slowly developed small/minor psoriasis on my elbows. First one side, then the other. Then every time I got uber stressed (which is a lot lately) it would flare up. It would ALMOST go away if I was relaxed for several days.
Sooooo yeah. I am noticing that I tend to retain less water with this stuff, and am seeing a different in my digestion. Like, a positive difference. So, even though it tastes bad, is definitely bad for the teeth - I am way too stoked. The elbow bumps are 80% gone, and it has only been under a week of actual consistency with the ACV. I can imagine if I keep it up, I'll continue to see them vanish.
And if it helps me shrink some too with easier digestion... I'll take that too.
Again. Happy Friday.
