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...

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...

And the point is...

Whoa, life got busy there. Crazy week. Good for business but not good for my me time. Sometimes I wish I could breathe think dream medicine, then I wouldn't resent it for taking all my time from me. It always seems to come first, takes over, and pushes everyone and everything else out. Sigh. But all things must come to an end, and just like that *snaps fingers*, its Friday already and here I am waiting for my flight to Vegas. Wish I were going for pleasure, I have a work conference to attend. Nevertheless, am excited a bit. I have never ever ever been in Vegas, flown over Vegas, driven through Vegas or even looked at Vegas. I was supposed to go with a co-worker but due to drama and shenanigans, am going by myself. I am kind of happy about that, cos I was kind of dreading going with this person. But, at the same time, this means I really have to get out of my shy mode and make an effort to visit a place or two on Sunday. I was thinking of maybe thrifting but am not sure. Speak...
