Giving Up Is Something I Need To Give Up

****

I'm exhausted. Actually, exhausted isn't even the right
word to describe how I'm feeling right now. I haven't
worked an 8 hour shift since before Christmas and even
then I didn't go to the gym afterwards. I'm proud of
myself for staying devoted and not giving in because of my
fatigue, but god I'm tired. More than anything it's my
feet, but I'm a little sleepy, too. I got about 5 hours of
sleep last night, which is an improvement, but not the 8
I'm supposed to be getting. I'll work on it again tonight.
A little earlier each day is better than nothing.

I'm in a really good mood because I had a really good day.
Work is always great. I have no complaints when it comes
to my job. That is such a FABULOUS thing to say. I've
always tried to make the best of every job I've had. I
always try to find the positive and see the good in it.
There was always something MAJOR about each job that made
me not want to stick around, but I tried. My biggest gripe
about working for Silverdale Dental Center was the stress.
Too many hours, too much responsibility, not enough
instruction, too many dentists with different styles. The
key word would be stress. There was too much of it. At VS,
I'm totally in my element. There's nothing I love more
than shopping. I've loved VS since Snookums bought me my
first matching bra and panty set when we started dating in
2003. I nearly died when he spent $70 on 1 bra and 1 pair
of panties. Now, that seems perfectly normal. How things
change.

I had to d-r-a-g myself through a little 500 calorie
workout. My feet were sore from standing all day (I have
no idea why. I wore my tried and true Kenneth Cole heels,
which never hurt my feet) and I was sleepy (both of which
are still bothering me right now). So, I made myself stick
with it. I did the elliptical and the stationary bike. You
have no idea how pleased with myself I was when I
finished. Giving up is something I need to give up!

I did a little shopping today. I didn't mean to, but it
accidentally happened. This morning when we were walking
the deposit down to the drop box (by the food court in the
mall), we passed Romy's (a little boutique-style store
next to Macy's), I saw a big sign advertising their sale.
So, I had to check that out after work. I got a killer
black dress (regularly $68.00) for $15! I thought that was
a pretty good deal. I also got a couple hoodies from Lady
Foot Locker for $9.99 each. They have a military discount,
so I got $4 taken off of that. Not bad. Impromptu shopping
always lifts my spirits. Almost as much as a good day at
work does.

The girls and I have been getting home really late. After
8pm, because of my evening gym trips. I haven't decided if
this is a problem yet. They don't seem to be lacking in
the sleep department. The just sleep a little later in the
morning. 7:30am as opposed to 6:30am. Who's going to
complain about that? The evenings feel a little rushed, so
Annie and I decided that she'll work on her homework at
the gym before she plays. She never has much (and it's all
super easy for her) so, that'll help out with the time
crunch when we get home. Just dinner and night-night.

I need a shower. I stink. Between work and working out, I
could call home a skunk family. I'm most definitely going
to bed early tonight. Right after I finish that shower.
Ciao.
