Just Another Manic Day

07:04

Finding it increasingly harder to fall back asleep after Jade leaves in the morning, I didn't do it today. I sat up and read a bit. (11 comics in one hour ... considering the content, it wasn't difficult.) I'm wondering if I should have laid down and tried anyway. Poor Spot seems to think so.

Woke up this morning to discover my poinsetta on the tilt and a decent sized chunk missing from it. I'm blaming the in-laws' cat, Ferny-poo, but I'm watching Spot, just in case. There is no puke upstairs though and in consideration, there should be puke. My cat comes to me when he doesn't feel well, so I'm still thinking is wasn't him.

I'm considering going to the gym today - just to get out of the house, if nothing else. Out of the house and ALONE! Jade looked at my going to swim and work out as a way of getting out of the house. Unfortunately, "Mommy-dearest" has invited herself to go with me on two of the three days. If she had just asked if I minded ... but she didn't. So, at the very least, we're in diferent pools because she doesn't like deep water.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind spending some time with her, but I really need some time AWAY from her too. More than one day. She thinks it's enough that she stays downstairs and I'm up in my rooms. It's not. I can constantly hear her. I'm always waiting for her to pop her head into my area and try to read over my shoulder to see what I'm doing. She misinterprets most ofthe things I say - even when I talk plainly. I ouldn't even get her to understand this joke:

Her: Where are you going?
Me: Crazy.

Fwoom! Completely over her head! *sigh* Jade said I need extra patience with her because she's blonde AND Polish. I think that's a poor excuse. And she's ignorant! Ignorant, racist, vulgar and if she has a respectful bone in her body, it's a small percentage and she hides it well. I regret my decision to move in here without laying some ground rules with her. I was told by my"Momma's-boy" though that they had been laid, and I was too busy to notice at first. Getting up at 03:00 and not getting home until about 18:00 or later on most days. I barely saw them. Well, either my dear lover was exaggerating or things have been allowed to go lax too much.

Anyway, not too much to write just yet ... I've only been up for three hours! :D

More later!

Oops! Forgot to come back!

Thought of the Day!

LOL! That one really made me smile, so I had to share it with you!

Did the swimming thing this morning. Got there at 05:30 and managed to keep myself occupied for about an hour. Had a nice shower (why use our own water up?) until the temperature suddenly became scalding. Ouch! No lobster envy here!

Went to the gym yesterday and was mildly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's a weight lifters paradise in there. I'm just not into that. I wanted fat burning cardio equipment. Maybe some toning stuff for later (I have to heal my shoulder first, and quite frankly I get lots of heavy lifting at work - when I'm working) But mostly it's a body builders room. Ah, well. If I feel the need for extra work, I can join a class. Or better yet, I can do a cardio routine on the treadmill, and then go swim a few laps. That may be the best thing ... especially since there are no change rooms, no showers, and no bathrooms in the gym area. Considering the size of the building in general, and the price I have to pay to get in, I'm very disappointed in this area.

Meanwhile, my results have already hit a bit of a plateau. Damn bloating. It'll just make the weight loss look that much more fantastic at the end of next week, that's all. I can live with this.

I need a hair cut. I've got split ends and I want my bangs back. I can do the bangs, but the rest of my hair? I can't reach it ... unless I cut it very short. I have every intention of spending the next two years growing it as long as I can. I want to be able to have options for styling.

Feb 10 can't get here fast enough for me! It'll be nice to go out an pamper myself with the idea of nice dresses.

This weekend will be another leap towards getting the garage finished. Our garage. I want to get it all organised so that we can USE it properly. There are items all over the place, stuck where-ever it will fit. I'm tired of looking at it. Jade said we'd get a lot of it done on Saturday as long as he doesn't have to work in town. Stupid company. They know at the beginnning of the week whether or not they are going to work a sixth day. They don't tell anybody until Friday. That's less than 24 hrs notice. Insane.

Luckily, my man is Union. He picked up a card for working four tens. He's doing five tens. He doesn't have to show up unless he wants to on Saturday ... which is considered a time and a half day for him. So it's a bit of a damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don't thing ... rewards either way, I guess. Still stupid though.

I've made a good bit of headway in my latest chapter of my fanfic. Killed somebody off too. And it wasn't a villain this time. Heh. It was almost satisfying. Difficult enough to give 10 heroes equal time and attention ... never mind 11. *sigh*

Well, I'm off and running with things again, so this time I'll just publish. that last one should have been tacked onto the oneprevious to it - don't know why I didn't. Ah, well, you should be reading them in order anyway, sillies!

Sweet Dreams!
