I think it is pretty amazing how quickly one can fall out of a habit.

I haven't been able to wake up at 5am like I used to do, maybe the time change + this damn cold, and so everything has fallen out of order. No workout. No breakfast. No lunch. Sleep late. Rinse, repeat.
Hmm. Am pondering on that one for a minute.

So what do I need to do to get back on my exercise kick? It doesn't help that the weight is dropping off anyway, since I am not eating. Although, I did, might have, maybe overindulged a tiny bit this weekend. Am not telling!

I thought the horrible lunch I had yesterday will kick me into gear. It certainly made me not want to eat dinner last night, but at the last minute I started starving. BUT I didn't give into gari and sugar. Am too proud of me. I actually ate my baby carrots, which were sweet and refreshing and made a tuna tortilla wrap. LOL. Don't ask. It was all I had in the house. I really need to go food shopping.

Actually, I have some random random that I threw together the other day. Cabbage, chicken, and tomatoes. It was really good. Don't make that face. LOL.  That will be my lunch for today.

So my chair, I saw this divine fabric at Hobby Lobby but by the time all is said and done, I would have to spend $60 for the fabric.It was really really nice though.  I should go visit Joann's Fabric and see what they have, and for how much.

I also finally return my library book to the library. Do not ask. And I did not read that dumb book either. I don't know why, even in the midst of my boredom, I couldn't get past the first page. I don't think I gave that poor book a chance. Anyway, they do have some upholstery books, ironically all at the branches closer to my house so maybe this weekend, I will find the library, pay my fine (scream) and take out the book and start studying this thing.

I also think that I will stain my trunk and make a seat for it. Just don't know what color yet. If I had skills, I want a black top with bright white piping with tufting. Oooh, I found a simple DIY. All I need is a staple gun. But am not going to be able to do piping. Hmm.

I tried to write yesterday. I know there is no such thing as a block and I should write through it, but I couldn't get into the groove. I know what needs to be done to get it done. I just need to do it.

I don't even have a title. I haven't been waking up with a song in my head these days...

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.

Writing Life.

So, it is day 16 of this NaNoWriMo thing, and I am happy to report that I am still here. Writing away. Last night was a good night. I came to the page with great reluctance, confused and sleepy and distracted but once I got into the groove, I got into the groove. I even surprised myself. At the end of the night was at 26058, and I added 3000+ words. Are those words any good? I don't know. I will deal with that at the edit stage. I found this cool writing tool called Scrivener . Actually, I read about it on one of these NaNo pep talk letters. At first, I was like why would I need a tool for writing a novel, like I couldn't get it. But then I actually read about the features and I got it. What got me was the fact all my scattered word files  could be stored in one place. So I have been writing this novel separated into years instead of chapters, with the major characters telling each year from their view. I would put each year in their own file and then after I edited, woul...
