Its just one of those weekends

I'm not having one of those days, I'm having one of those weekends. The thing is I'm perfectly fine with it, because I need some serious downtime. At the moment I am on antibiotics and fighting a crazy bacterial infection, I am on my period with my uterus feeling like its going to fall out, and I have three exams next week that I'm spending all my free time studying for. It is halloween weekend, and I am doing nothing to celebrate. I probably would not be having too much fun if I was out, which is why I am content with staying in. The truth is I need lots of rest right now.

The past few weeks have been good. My mind is usually all over the place with ideas and worrying. I realized how crazy I was being. I was seriously, freaking out about something that won't occur for another 8-10 years. Hah! So much stuff will happen in my life in that time span. I took a step back, and prayed to god to help me clear my mind. And he did. I've been thinking about things a lot less, and just enjoying life day by day. The future will come, but I need to enjoy the present!

taking the time

Its been a weekend of lots of work but I'm not done yet. I feel like I've been living at the museum these past few days. In fact, I actually worked 11 hours hours on Friday trying to finish things up and prepare for our opening. Overall our opening went great! We have over 3,500 attend and the whole street was closed off for a block party. There were vendors, performances, and food trucks. Overall, I'm in love with the new exhibit. There are some great pieces and cool artists that we are featuring. I'm still in amazement. My free time has been spent eating, shower, and working on hw.  I can't believe I didn't go out at all this weekend, and I'm glad I'm didn't. I've already been tired and drained, there is no way I would have been able to go out and party. I've also been sore even though I haven't worked out since Thursday. I'm planning on going on a run after work today.

But overall the past few days have felt good! Focusing on myself and keeping busy!

weekend re-cap

This weekend had to be close to perfect. What a lovely way to spend my last complete weekend off before going back to work. Friday was spent resting and then heading out downtown to dance for a friends bday, Saturday was spent at the farmers market in little italy and a bit of shopping downtown, and Sunday I worked all day, bought new shoes, and did some homework. Productive & Fun!

My main goal of October is to take care of myself, which I've definitely been doing. Mondays and Wednesday I tend to sleep in. I don't set my alarm clock and I just wake up whenever. Although its relaxing, I realized how much of much time I waste. I will now spend Mondays and Wednesday waking up and working out. The past week I've been running, hiking, and doing some strength training. My body has been one big ball of soreness. I've also cut back on going out so much...I feel like I'm kind of falling out of my partying days. I've never been a hermit, but now I would just love to spend quality time with someone special. And of course consuming less liquor will greatly help in my quest to drop a few pounds. I know with work starting up I'm going to be very tired anyways. I have to be at work Thurs-Sunday of this week. Its going to be madness but I'm excited to start working again.

PAUSE

Check out my new ring, and my favorite fall nail polish!

This past week was my breather week. I got lazy and rested after all the madness of last week. But now its time to get my shit back together. Lab reports, papers, and of course taking care of myself. I'm trying to focus on me this month. I'm excited to get back to work and make $$ again, and of course start my new position. I've started running again, am thinking about joining a gym, and have scheduled some doctors appointments. I'm trying to get better and start feeling better. Too many times I'm wrapped up in school and not about my body or me. Time to change that!

October Goals

Oh what a week its been, and I'm so happy its the weekend. I've been running around like a madwoman and living in the deep dark depths of the library. Two tests are down, and I have another one tomorrow and another on Tuesday. And then I can breathe! I plan on fully celebrating taco tuesday. But what the heck? I hate having midterms that feels like finals. Four exams in a matter of 6 days? Not cool. Too bad it happens again at the end of this month which means more than likely I won't be celebrating halloween. Lame sauce! And this is why I decided against going to optometry school. I complain about weeks like this when in reality I would have these types of weeks probably every other week. Yup, definitely couldn't do it.

Goals for October:

1. Eat healthier! I've seriously been feeling so sick to my stomach lately and I think its because of all the horrible food I consume. Around midterm/finals time its really bad. I need to work on that!

2. Schedule in a run 2x a week even if its not on the same days week by week

3. Be good at my job! My job re-opens in the middle of october. With the new exhibit, I'm going to have to re-learn everything. And I'm starting a new position. I want to start off strong from Day 1, even if that means studying everything a few days ahead of time to give our visitors the best experience.

4. Health! I've been holding off on schedule doctors appointments for the longest. I don't even know why. I'm not afraid of the doctors, but I feel trying to book an appointment is the hardest. Anyways, I really want to change things around. Start taking care of myself!
