chochiyo_samaWell, the "New Year" has started in earnest now. I am back at school. The day was quiet and went by pretty quickly. I threw together a turkey and mustard sandwich for lunch and a roast beef sandwich for breakfast. I didn't plan ahead, so I was sort of "deer in the headlights" this morning getting ready for school.
Tomorrow will be somewhat better as I put my oatmeal together and have it ready to mix with water in the microwave in the morning. I also have my tea cup ready for some good ginger spice tea. I did not get my lunch packed, which is something that works out better for me if I do it ahead of time. However, I have some baked chicken and rice which turned out really good when I put in carrots. I had it for supper tonight and it was quite tasty. A little salty, which must have been the result of putting in too much soy sauce, but it has a nice flavor any how.
The one thing I did not get done over Christmas vacation was the correcting that I had to do. I put my shoulder to the wheel today and powered through most of it at school today. I have just a few things left, and I brought thme home with me tonight, but didn't get to them.
When I got home, I sat down in my chair a while and just relaxed and petted the cat. Then I ate some potato chips that were left over from New Year's Eve. After that I cleaned up the kitchen, heated up the chicken and rice hot dish, took my supper time meds, did the dishes, and cleaned the cat box. Wooo.....hot times!
I decided I would go upstairs and play Sims for an hour or so, then correct the papers I had brought home with me tonight. Well, I fell asleep instead. I woke up about 20 minutes ago, and figured it was too late to correct anything now. I brushed my teeth, laid out my clothes for tomorrow (which also makes the morning go much smoother), and took my bed time meds.
I really want to work on eating healthier (and saving money) by not eating fast food anymore. Now that the main areas of my house are clean, I really want to work on KEEPING them clean. I forgot to get the last load of laundry out of the dryer tonight, and now I am upstairs and am NOT going all the way to the basement to get them now.
The big thing I want to accomplish tomorrow (in addition to getting the laundry up and put away) is clearing off my dining room table. The whole downstairs looks junky when that thing is a mess. Also, I have four big bags of garbage to haul to the curb tomorrow. Ugh.
Not much else on my mind today.
The parking lot and sidewalk at school today were HORRIBLE--just a sheet of ice. I sure hope that is not going to be in that condition for the rest of the winter. I will by a bag of cat litter and pour it all over the parking lot myself, if something isn't done.
At some point, someone gave me a little book called Daily Reflections for Highly Effective People. I have had it for several years, and I have decided it is probably time to read it. I started today, and caught myself up to January 5. The little readings are short and to the point.
In the readings I read today, this one quote stood out: "If we want to change a situation, we first have to change ourselves." That really rings true to me. I am trying to change myself by being more proactive about things that will make my life run more smoothly.
Well, it is now almost 10 pm. I didn't have any thrilling adventures of any kind today (other than cleaning out the litter box), so there isn't much of note to talk about.

Date: 2009-01-07 01:51 am (UTC)A mother was working in the kitchen listening to her 5 -year-old son playing with his new electric train in the living room.
She heard the train stop and her son saying, "All of you sons of bitches who want off, get the hell off now... cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of bitches who are getting on, get your asses on the train...cause we're going down the tracks.The horrified mother went in and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your
train...but I want you to use nice language."
Two hours later, the boy came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train.
Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say... "All passengers, please remember your things, thank you and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon."
She heard her little darling continue..."For those of you just boarding, remember, there is no smoking in the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today."
As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the bitch in the kitchen."
also! i'd like it if you watched the yodeling song :) it's actually called "she taught me how to yodel" and it is from one of my insane asian movies - not horror though.
