My Life Thus Far
2009-07-18 06:11:14 (UTC)

And I do...

I woke up this morning with one of those "this is going to
be a great day" kind of moods. I never know when I'm going
to have a day like today, they're really just a gift. Not
that I'm all doom-and-gloom every other day, it's just an
ordinary day. I wake up in a whatever kind of mood and it
either progresses well or goes down hill.

On the way to the gym I needed to stop into Target for a
few things. While I was there I picked up a new pair of
pants for work. I haven't bought new work clothes in
awhile and now it's gotten to the point were not a single
pair of black slacks in my closet fit. I've got a couple
pairs of black gauchos I've been wearing the life out of,
but that doesn't constitute a fully-functioning work
wardrobe. When I was getting ready for work and I slipped
on those new slacks, it was such an uplifting moment. It's
not so much about getting smaller, it's that I know I'm
getting healthier... Who am I kidding? I LOVE that I'm
getting smaller!! I try to be a well-adjusted person, but
I'm still a woman and I want to feel pretty. And I do...

My workout was great. Now that Snookums is back to work,
on the days that I work I have to go to the gym alone
(during the day) and he goes alone (in the evening) while
I'm at work. At first this seemed like kind of a downer (I
of course like to spend time with him). But, really this
works out better for me. I prefer to work out alone. My
workouts are intense and I really don't have any friends
that can or want to keep up with me. Not to be
narcissistic, but I've got a level of motivation that is
beyond anyone's understanding. I crave my time in the gym.
I'll do whatever I have to do to find the time and when I
get there I want to do my best. No exceptions. No excuses.
Snookums isn't as motivated and can't keep up. I think
it's better for him too to work out alone sometimes. If
he's working at his level and not trying to keep up with
me he's less likely to get burned out and more likely to
keep with it. I want him to live a long healthy life.
That's all I want for our entire family.

Something was wrong with my phone today. It was shorting
out or something. I had no signal at all, I wasn't getting
calls or texts and I couldn't make calls. It wasn't going
into idle mode, either. The little screen would stay lit
up, which was sucking my battery all to hell. So, I didn't
call to make an appointment this morning. When Snookums
and I got home, he asked me if I'd called to make that
gyno appointment. I told him no, explained why I didn't. I
was surprised that he got a little irritated with me. HE
called Tricare and made me an appointment. I guess it's
because I tend to always put things like that off. I'm
still bleeding, but it isn't impeding my daily
functioning, so I don't pay it too much attention.
Snookums has been wanting sex, but as long as there's a
tampon up there, he gets none :) When I put it that way, I
see why he wanted that appointment! No, he's not like that
(at all). He genuinely wants what's best for me. My
appointment is at 10:45am on Monday. He's taking the day
off to watch the kids for me. He really is such a good man.

I made spaghetti before I left for work, but I didn't have
time to eat. 8 hours later, I finally get dinner! Ciao.

P.S. This is entry number 1,400! I love even numbers :)
