Awkward & Awesome

Well. You'd think after not posting for a couple weeks that I would have more content to put here. Cause honestly, not a whole lot is coming to mind. But here's what I got...

Awkward

* Daylight Savings. For some reason this time change is *really* kicking my butt this year. I can't seem to make myself go to sleep before 12-1 AM but during the day I'm ridiculously tired and even around 8-10 I'm kind of drowsy. I mean, it's not like I've had a whole lot of energy before but this is ridiculous. Each year the time change gets more and more difficult to handle. Man, being an adult sucks.

* Physical therapy. Now don't get me wrong, it's a good thing to do. Especially me with the headaches and the muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders. But doing stuff like "wall shrugs" (which is pretty much what it sounds like) and laying on a table while someone puts my head in a football hold and PULLS is kind of...awkward. I mean, what do I do with myself while my neck is being yanked (nicely of course)? I'm just looking a wall here, trying not to make things any more weird than it already is...you know? thank goodness for small practices and early morning sessions when almost no one else is around.

Awesome

* Making plans to go see 2 concerts (so far) this year. I used to never go now I get all excited about the idea.

* Getting to go to Dallas this weekend...by myself. *insert excited squeal*. It's been almost forever since I've had a weekend to myself with no plans except chill. Sleeping late, going to movies, trying out new places to eat..basically, whatever I want. After weeks and weeks of what feels like non-stop action, it's just what I need.

* But hey, I'm not making the 4 hour jaunt for the heck of it. One my FAVORITE musicians, Eric Hutchinson, is the main attraction at the Rock 'n Roll Marathon being held in Dallas this weekend. It's a free concert and I'd go to all of this guy's concerts if I could (am I getting stalker-y here? I feel like I'm getting there)...but I'm super super excited. Definitely recommend looking up his music, especially if you like the toe-tapping variety.

Doesn't hurt that I think he's pretty cute (in a nerdy type way)...*no shame*

But yeah, I'm looking forward to having time to just RELAX

* Also a perk of road trips...audio books. I feel like my 15-20 commute to and from work is fine but not really enough time to get into a groove of the book. With a 6-to-8 hour commute (total), I get to start and finish a whole book at once. Now that makes me excited.

Well I'm sure if I sat here and thought I'd come up with other things but I'm tired and I'm seriously going to try and go to bed earlier than I have been. Because sleep sounds REAL good right now... :)

Ciao!

Awkward & Awesome

I think I deserve a round of applause here for not only FINISHING (let's hope) this post but also STARTING it 2 days beforehand!

Yeah, I'll wait....

Okay, back to it then.

Awkward

* Headaches. Yes, I'm putting them on this list because it's getting embarrassing how many Exedrin pills I take or how much diet coke I consume because sometimes it's the only thing that helps. I know it's not good for me, but it's pretty much stress or tension headaches that start in my neck. But other than quitting my job and becoming a hermit on the beach, there's not a whole lot I can think of to do that's also not super expensive (like chiropractors or massages). And I don't really want to smell of weird things (but I know they help other people so more power to them) but I'm at a loss as to what to do here.

* I got a thumbs up from a random guy as I was leaving for work this morning. Why? I couldn't begin to say. Maybe I had something on my face....

* One moment I'm sure it's only Tuesday and the next I'm confused when someone says they won't be coming into work tomorrow, because hey, tomorrow's Saturday. This has been a REALLY weird week.

* Having to ask if something is "going to happen" then having to explain that I wasn't asking for anything more than a "yes" or "no". Now I feel like a psycho and a jerk. IT'S A REASONABLE QUESTION PEOPLE!!

Awesome

* New books. I read an article about the latest books that are being turned into movies so I ordered like 6 of them from the library (yes I still have library cards). Read one already and am in the middle of another and I'm excited (nerdily so) to see these movies. Even though I know that they're not usually as good as the novel I still prefer to read the books before I see the movies. Call me a bookworm but I'm fine with that.

* My new church. It's been so wonderful to find a community of believers who are also in my stage of life and my age range and who I can relate to as well (this is the 20s Sunday School class). I still kind of stick out like a sore thumb but they're super inviting and warm people and I'm glad Lori (hi there!) convinced me to try it out. Yes, it's an hour long drive total (there and back) but it's definitely been worth it all. Trying to convince HL to go too.

* Tomorrow is Friday and I have no plans for the evening or Saturday (hehe not anymore!). It's a miracle and amazing because next weekend is going to be PACKED with fun things that will totally wear me out. In the very best of ways of course. :D

That's all I really got this time.

Ciao!
