(no subject)
Today was a pretty rough day. I've been up for 18 hours and I'm exhausted, but only taking a nap because I want to go to bed around 10 AM for my shift tomorrow night.
Accomplishments for Monday 11/20:
- Went to work and got through my CPI training, which sucked mentally and physically. I'm fighting a cold so I'm flaring, making it really difficult to move around. It also was mentally really draining because everyone else in my class were teachers or TAs at the school that were so out of touch with the challenges of how understaffed the residences are.
--Seriously, nothing made me angrier than when the instructor rambled on about how switching out is available for staff as needed when it very well isn't for me. In my 10 hour shift, if I'm lucky after 8 hours more staff may come in, who are unwilling to relieve me. If it weren't for the fact that some of the people taking the class with me were the same staff I would have been compaining about, I would have been more vocal about it. Not that it would change anything.
- Went to TOPS for the first time in a few months. I know at this point I don't think I can lose all the weight I need to so my dress doesn't need to be taken out, but anything will help. I already paid for my yearly membership, so I might as well keep trying. Weigh in was 199.4 today.
I didn't get anything else productive done today, but I was out of the house for 13 hours. My friend from work came over shortly after I got home which was good to destress. Napping for a few hours then getting up to do a short work out (to get back into it) and write like crazy. If I can get chapters 4, 5, & 6 sent off by Friday I am going to feel like I'm in a much better position for my directed study. I'd really like to get through to chapter 10, but large portions of 7, 9 & 10 are already written.
(Excuse me as I keep repeating my stupid mantra of "I can do this, I can do anything.")
