I've thought about posting a lot in the last few weeks. I don't know why I haven't. My excuse is that I was keeping up with my fitness blog, on which I finally accomplished something, even if it's not actually what I was going for.
So, in the past two months - let's see what's happened.
I was maid of honour in a friend's wedding. And the pictures, all of the ones with me in them, are horrid. I do not photograph well. But I already knew that, so we move on. It was a beautiful ceremony and a great day over all. And then she and her new husband went off on a Mediteranean Cruise. Add to that, my aunt was also off on a Mediteranean cruise at the same time. And another friend went on a Disney Cruise. Talk about a week or so of complete and total envy.
Work ... sucks. But not because of the job, or because of anyone actually physically in the building. Politics are winning out. It's a miserable culture in that town right now, and we all feel fairly harassed by people who are supposed to be supporting us, and who give us the direction that they're trying to say isn't right. It's so difficult. Add that to the idea that I'm not particularly thrilled to still be there anymore anyway, and the week's just continue to get longer, and longer. And the week-ends are far too short.
I've gotten a seasonal position with Northern Reflections again this year. Not as desperate for the spare money this year, as I was last year, but if I can use it to buy Christmas gifts, that will be wonderful. And working for the same person this year, in the same place and she was lovely, so it should be a good deal.
Other than that... I don't think I've got anything to report. NaNoWriMo starts in a few days, so I'm hoping I can do that again this year, but I tend to have good intentions and then end up with nothing less than two weeks in. Maybe I can find some writing discipline this year. It's not like I don't have the ideas, I just have trouble making them become something cohesive on the page.
And my new mantra - though I'm still working on changing it - is: I'm not fat. I have fat. I was able to complete my goal of walking 365 miles. Finished it on Wednesday, in 298 days. That's pretty good. So I gave myself 4 days off, before I start a new routine on Monday. I need to give myself random goals though, in order to accomplish anything. I can't just have abstract things like "exercise every day." There has to be an end goal. Right now, I'm going for a month long plan. I need to make it through that plan. Beyond that, I'll have to figure out something else. But I'm not looking beyond it right now. Just like I didn't look beyond my 365 mile goal when I was working on that one. And I do feel more fit than I did before I started. And I have a bit of a workout ethic now, which is saying something. I haven't lost the weight I was hoping for, but at least if I'm healthier that's positive.
And I think I'm done rambling for now. Hopefully, I can keep up on this blog a little more now that I'm not blogging as often elsewhere.
