Week Two

I am changing my goal, to write two days a week two pages. This is not including homework. Once the semester gets going I can see if I can increase it.

1st Week of A Round of Words

Ok, maybe this was not the best week to start this. Its been the first week of school and trying to figure out classes. It is only Wednesday, so I can at least do 3 out of 4 days.

A Round of Words in 80 Days

Ok, For my regular followers, I am setting up goals to help my writing, that is what A Round of Words in 80 Days.

For A Round of Words in 80 Days: My goal will be to write 4 days a week, 1000 words a day.

Its 7:22 am

So what do you do this early in the morning, when you can't make noise by doing things to help yourself with cleaning the house?

Well, this is what I do, I pray, I get up and go to the bathroom, then I get back into bed to get warm. This is when the cats decide I should let them outside, which I don't. I get on facebook play my games comment on peoples status', check email, check facebook again and accept all pending invites I am interested in. I start my classes at 9:30. I leave at 9. On Mon. and Wednesdays I have an exercise class, and I shower after that. You might think that is disgusting (I am not really fond of it either actually), but I don't want to shower then wait at the bus stop with wet hair, then go get sweaty and gross.

Workers comp has decided I need to lose at least 50 more pounds before I can have my knee surgery, which will be a partial knee. This will not be a problem except for one class I have that is 3 1/2 hours. On Tuesday nights I have a class that goes from 4:30-7. The class is on the assesment of the bilingual/bi-cultural student. All we do in the class is eat. Most of the other students have been having classes since early morning and go until late, so 3 people a week bring food to eat, lets just say its not healthy: cookies, brownies, chips, rice krispie treats... etc. Only one person has brought fruit. I have signed up for next Tuesday, I am bringing apples and bananas, we have to bring enough to feed at least 15 people.

Nothing else has really been happening, just going to work (I am now getting about 30 hrs a week- instead of 17), and going to school. It seems I never find the time to clean or do laundry. But then such is life, you can only go so long with not doing laundry or the dishes before it overflows into the rest of the house, and run out of glasses, plates, silverware and clean underwear.

Have a great day!

The last few months....

Well since my last post, I have had an interesting time.

I was able to go to a friends wedding, where it was great to see the happiness of the bride and groom. I got to hold a two month old baby and help out in the kitchen. I was very happy to be included in this celebration.

I went to the second opinion who thinks I need a total knee replacement (this is what I have been thinking, but my doctor in Logan, refuses to do it and doesn't even want to do a partial). Hopefully he will let me have a partial. But still waiting on workmans comp decision, but this in nothing new, happened with the third surgery as well. This next one will be my sixth!!!

We had a family reunion in Alpine/Salt Lake/ Lehi. It was great to see all the family who could make it, I wish Anne and her crew could have made it, maybe next year.

I spilled 5 ozs. of water on my laptop, with Spike's help. It is still in the hospital- not Spike, my computer.

I have also lost so much weight none of my clothes fit, I finally had to buy a belt. I hate belts. I hate wearing them, but since all my clothes are at least 3 SIZES too big, I need them. I am still losing weight, which I am grateful and blessed that it is happening.

This next couple of weeks will fly by, I have decided to do a deep and thorough cleaning of the apartment once again. After spraying the bug killer in the bathroom, they are starting to come back. This time I will spray the whole house (which I planned to do the first time), but now I will clean and rearrange the furniture so I can spray the other room.

Then I have my birtday dinner at rodizios, in Trolley Square at 6 pm, Aug. 20th. be there or be square. For those of you who want to come, it will be about $30.00 that should include dinner, drink and tip.

School starts the next week and I will be graduating in Dec. and will throw a graduation party. I have applied for a second bachelors degree so I can take two more classes so if I do decide to go into the Masters program, I will be all ready. I tried to see if they would let me have one more sememster before I graduate, but they said no, because I would be over "professional student credits" and they would charge me double for tuition. So I am had to apply for the second degree, to take 2 classes to keep tuition at a good price.

I hopefully will get the computer back soon, though where I took it for a free computer check thing at Staples last week, they said they would call me on Wednesday (took it in on Tuesday) they didn't call, so I called Thursday, told me they would call me in 2 or 3 hours and still didn't call. So I am going into the store to pick it up and take it somewhere else to be fixed (I think it is just the keyboard that is messed up- can do other things on it with no problems except I can't type at all)

I hope this finds everyone well.
