Year 2/Day 50

Today was not a “fun” day.

Will’s grandfather passed away a few days ago and today was the funeral.  He drove up to Chattanooga early this morning, before traffic, and I left after the morning rush.

All things considered, the funeral went very well and the weather turned out beautiful.  What else can you say about such a sullen event?

A cute little lady bug landed on my car today when I was leaving work.  I didn’t get a “good” picture of it, but it still makes me smile.

First day back at the gym.  Eeks.

And I went twice today!  First, I met with a trainer in the afternoon and then went back after work with Michelle.  I’ve got to get back in shape.  I’ve been noticing that I’ve become weaker and stiffer, and I need to make some changes.

My schedule is already full, but if I don’t carve out some time for my health now I’m only creating more problems in the future.

So it begins.

Year 2/Day 47

I’ve noticed I haven’t been very talkative lately.  I guess things have just been rather busy, or else I’ve been behind on my days and “catching up”.

A lot is going on right now so I shouldn’t be surprised that I’m busy.  Let’s list everything for fun…

1) School.  Last semester of Nursing School!  That alone is enough to stress me out.  This one needs subcategories.
   a) Attending class two nights a week with occasional weekends
   b) Reading/studying material for class (which takes hours)
   c) NCLEX questions, questions, and more questions
   d) Preceptorship  (workload still to be determined)
   e) Graduation prep
2) Work.  Or should I say a delicate balancing act between working and taking time off to study while still making enough money to pay the bills.
3) Moving.  And all the stressors that come with moving (finding a place, packing, physical move, unpacking, money)
4) Health.  I’ve always struggled with my weight and now is no different.  I’ve joined a gym and I’m trying to add it to the schedule.
5) Relationships.  I’m also trying to be a good girlfriend as well as good friend during all this.  Now that Will’s schedule is different, it’s harder to spend time with him.  But it’s important, so I try to make as much time as I can.  Also, I’ve made some really good friends at work and I enjoy their company.

I’m sure I missing something, but that’s enough I think.  Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining.  That was not the point of this post.  I’m simply clearing my mind.  I love my life and those in it. 

But now…back to packing…

I had never had gelato until last night, and it was delicious!  :)

We’re starting to pack because we get the keys to the place on Friday.

Can you say…uh…packing…

The clouds continued to stir until 6 pm…when the storm let loose.

How long will she make us wait until grades are posted?

I’m in a cloud of studying…

Year 2/Day 42

Yesterday I realized I misdated my blog about 2 weeks ago…and my OCD personality will need to fix all those days to show the correct information.  Apparently, I have two Year 2/Day 26.  Damn.

But, that will not be today or the next few days.  My first big exam this semester is on Thursday and I’ve been trying to study as much as possible.  So back at it I go.

Today I did it.  I committed to joining the gym.  Blah.

I gotta do this thing and get back on track.  I have so much stress going on now, I need to watch my health.

First step – check!
