First day back at school.
Jan. 5th, 2009 09:29 pmWell, 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.
