My son finished school yesterday and went to day camp today. He broke a board on his first day of karate and had a great time. Me, not a whole lot. On Sunday we're all going in to Boston to hang out and have fun. The garden is doing good, I picked a bunch of snow peas and made chicken and pasta and peanut sauce with them the other night. So yummy! I'm on the second week of my couch to 5k program and I lost 3 lbs. last week on the first week of that program and my new diet where I try not to eat much pasta and bread because it bothers my stomach (I had tofu with mine, that night that I made the chicken and pasta dish).
Boston is great all times of year! Except when it's too hot or too cold...which is most days...well anyway, I love Boston anyway! When you move to New York you won't be too far. You'll have to go sometime for a weekend or something, and hang out with me of course!
Yeah, I'm going to attempt this 5k training program, I don't know if I'll be able to do it all the way through though because I have some physical issues, however I will get as far as I can and if I complete the program I'll probably do an actual 5k. My husband said he's going to do a training program too, but I don't know if he actually is, or if he's just training himself.
The week went by super fast! Mostly because I was on my own (my mum and her husband where back in my hometown, spending time with husband's family).
I've spent a lot of time reading(and mainly learning) about cultural appropriation. I'm French, and in my country this isn't something we talk about, I'm not even sure if people know about it. So yeah, made me realize how behind we were on those topics, and generally how we don't even question it. But still, felt good to learn about it because I love learning and I might possibly be a compulsive reader XD
That is amazing and you are amazing! It's important to learn about our world and the people in it! A big part of what I went to school for was to try to figure out why we are the way we are and do the things we do.
Yay for having some me-time too, that can be so refreshing!
You totally made me blush XD I wish I could have gone to college for that instead of what I did (english), but well, you never know, I might go back there one day. And yeah, knowing about us humans is always interesting and somewhat humbling on a purely personal level.
I'm starting to believe that my "goal" for my adult life is to find myself in a lifestyle that's more 90% me-time and 10% people-time.
This week I started driving school. It's only day three and I already want to quit. I guess I just hate driving. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to deal with other people. The people in this area drive like madmen and have no patience for those trying to learn. There's no need to honk at me, tailgate me, yell at me, or flip me the one-finger salute. Seriously, eff driving.
Since I got scammed on eBay, I rebought the item again from another vendor. It arrived, but now I just don't even want it anymore. It's been here for a week and I haven't even taken it out of the box. I just want my money back but I guess that's just never going to happen. In total I wasted about 500 dollars.
OMG. Driving is super stressful for me. I was never a very happy, confident drive to begin with, and then in a 2 year period, I lost 2 really important people in my life and 3 acquaintances to car crashes and after that it was like driving with my face going D: the whole time and my hands death-gripping 10 and 2.
Part of what I have loved about living in the UK is paying for bus tickets and having OTHER people drive me around.
I am SO sorry about your Ebay scam and crummy item. *hugs* Super frustrating and just to add insult to injury, an EXPENSIVE frustration. No fun!
My week has been... kooky! But now things are more known anyway, so it's all about just kind of, holding on and getting through.
Not much going on this week. Went to WIC finally, almost two months late LoL. Got my toddler re-established. Made an appointment to get the girls their checkups next Friday. The toddler is due for her 2.5 year checkup, and little bit is due for her 4-month (though she'll be 5 months on Thursday--already!). Hoping to get myself back on medicaid soon. According to some info the WIC office gave me, I should still qualify easily. Our monthly income falls well below the max for a family of four. :) There's something I want to get checked out--something is wrong with my brain, I think--so it's more important this time for me to get back on some medical coverage than it was last time.
Thanks. Honestly part of me just wants to keep ignoring my symptoms for a while. Since I'm breastfeeding (and this is my first time being successful at it) I'm afraid I might need a stay in the hospital or something, and can't take the baby with me, my supply could drop because of that even if I do pump, I have no backup stashed... all of that. But it could be nothing, who knows. But hey, I suppose things could be a LOT worse.
