Monday Blues

Waaaaaah! How is it Monday morning already? Am not ready!!!!!!!
I feel so exhausted. Been up since shortly before 6am but I've been snoozing then procrastinating on twitter.
The one good think about this Monday is that at the end of it this week, am not working! I finally get a full two day weekend. Yes. I worked six days last week and coupled with my jet lag, I've been seriously dragging.

I am happy though, I managed to finally clean my space. It has been a hot mess since I came back from Nigeria. Clothes everywhere, spoiling food, unmade bed for days, ring in the tub. I hate living in a mess and seeing that mess on a daily basis did something to me. In fact, I even skipped a morning workout session to put things to right. Now am back in balance again, fridge cleaned, floors mopped, no more ring! Even my closet got organised.

I had planned to hang up my curtains this weekend, I just needed to buy some curtain rods. I went to Ross and actually found one that I liked, it was on clearance but I wasn't too sure because I saw some cracks at the base where the ball connected to the rod. Anyway, I picked up the two, decided I needed a cart, put them back down, got a cart. Wandered for several minutes through the housegoods section while bbing with my friend, by the time I finally made it there, they had vanished. Waaaaah! All of a sudden, I really wanted my rods then even though they were imperfect and I needed three of them and there were only two. Just because someone else wanted them, they became more desirable. There is a life lesson there for me, I'm pretty sure.

Monday! Argh!!!!
Goals:
Complete notes before end of the day, I do not care if the waiting room is SRO, my notes must be done after every patient ok maybe every 3 patients.

Eat well and properly-- will i calorie count???? Salads at night and all carbs during the daytime. According to my trainer, this will help me get rid of my huge belly. Am paying him my hard earned money so I had better follow his instructions.

Need to finish cooking for the week. I wanted to make a stir fry and a base for my salads (lettuce, spinach, carrots and red cabbage) but got tired. I already made a chili and chicken tangine. Both recipes were from Fitness Mag. Actually, I made it the chili chicken instead. Which reminds me, need to reup on my chicken breast supply.

Workout six days this week. Am making up my training sessions that I missed in January. He is kind esp since he came to my house twice and I wasn't there. oops

Hang up my curtains. I must find those rods, my bedroom curtains make a big difference in keeping the draft out. My living room is so cold, my hands freeze sometimes. No, I will not be turning on the heat. Yes, am just punishing myself. LOL.

Lastly, make my bed daily and have a clean sink nightly.

Off to the gym. Sigh.

New Week

I feel so accomplished this morning. My weekend was productive for once. I painted my chair and it is finally in my bedroom. The thing is, I underestimated the amount of paint I would need and went crazy with dilution. My first clue should have been that the original pattern was visible under the paint. I filed it down a bit with sandpaper which took off the color. Then, because I ran out of paint, I wasn't able to paint the seat and instead covered it with an old ankara skirt that I was planning to turn into pillows. I was very disappointed with the results, but it's now growing on me. I might leave the ankara like that or change it for another ankara I have. Lastly, I tried gluing the broken leg in place but alas, it didn't work. I guess I had better just buy a new leg for the chair. My next project is to figure out how to stick mirrors into an old painting. I also need to pick up my hall table from the office where it has been waiting for me all last week. I really wi

Thank you LORD!

I passed my boards! I am so happy! To be honest, when I walked out of that exam, I was sure I was going to have to retake it. Allelujah (imagine Fountain of Praise singing that word on their song: I can't praise you enough. better yet, go hear it for yourself here .) i am so ecstatic!! Even better, I have the weekend off. I think i will be checking out the brand new heavies after all. oh yeah, third year is going fine. lots of work though, and i get so nervous about speaking in front of people. but i really adore my team. plus i admire my pgy-3 resident a lot, she is a firm and assertive woman. when i see her, i think to myself, i can do this! no room for shyness. in a minute. pgy=post graduate year.

The Saga Continues...

I guess I can only post one entry a month or something. Well, as of two fridays ago, I took my last clinical exam! oops i meant basic sciences . I was not able to feel relieved, excited or light like a air filled balloon because I still have my boards to take. I was going to be hard core and take in on June 9th but then I began to doubt my test taking abilities and decided to push it to the future. Whatever happens, I still have time to enjoy my life before third year begins. I can't believe that I am about to begin the second half of the year. Rather, that I have begun the second half of the year 2006. I am not able to do a good recap of the year thus far because quite frankly i have not been keeping up with my journal (paper that is). I do know that now that I feel settled about my academic life, my thoughts have turned increasingly to my emotional life - in short, i have been hit with an overwhelming desire to get married. It's funny to me that I feel this way. When I was t
