32.5 hours of work in 3 days and two 3 hour grad classes.
That's pretty much been the last 72 hours of my life. The only way this worked at all is that I live insanely close to work and class is about a 40 minute drive depending on traffic.
My house is a disaster area at the moment and I got pretty much nothing done in terms of school work but I did it. I got my hours in. I'm going in for 7 tomorrow and will be able to leave then at 2:30 and head into the city to see the show. I'm going to see American Idiot for those who are interested. (I live in Central NJ so it's not super close but not a bad distance either to get into the theater district.) I actually wanted to see this for my 30th back in May but couldn't afford tickets then so I'm psyched. :) Especially as I'm going to end up meeting my best friends in the city and I ADORE Manhattan (probably because I never actually lived there, lol.)
A few people mentioned on my last entry that I'm a bundle of energy and I guess I am but I can tell you that before July, I wasn't. I used to sleep all day on weekends, I barely got through a normal day without tons of coffee. I really only go to massive coffee extremes when I'm going non-stop (like I did for the past few days) Frankly though, as I've said before I also spent years extremely depressed (among other things) so I think a lot of it is now that I'm not, I just want to DO things. I wonder if being fidgety burns calories, lol. The activity log is saying I burned a lot of calories for just being so freaking occupied for the last few days. I'm not sure how true that is but I would guess that actually using my brain (even if I'm mostly sitting) does have to require some kind of energy.
So yes, I did wear pants that fit today. A pair of black size 18 dress slacks that did NOT close in July. I now can not only wear them but also slide my iPod into the pocket. (The pockets are kinda small but maybe another inch or so and my droid and giant thing of keys will fit too.)
The best thing about today is that I got to take the new iPod to work for the first time and wow, it's so great to be able to listen to anything I want (and I didn't even start loading my CDs into it yet.) I listened to punk rock in the morning and a big assortment of musicals in the afternoon. (I'm a broadway geek if you can't tell.) I could've bought it a few weeks back but it's so great to know that I have this not only because I wanted it but because I did this great thing meeting my goal.
I don't know what I want to get yet for goal #2. Part of me is thinking really awesome purse (another fetish of mine, lol.), but there's a few other things I'm thinking of. There's not one clear thing I want right now like the iPod.
I actually do want to take a second and compliment myself here, it's kind of related so bear with me. See, I came home from work tonight (at almost 7 pm) and found that my power was out. Only a few years back this kind of thing would've freaked me out and then I would've flipped my shit, particularly after the week I had. I was calm, I thought it through, I called, I waited. It was back on within 2 hours (after waiting on the company to come out and fix something.) but they originally said it COULD take until the morning. I didn't start obsessing and using food to stop the anxiety and I'm proud of that. I know it's silly but it's a huge way of how my life has changed. Stuff pretty much just rolls off me these days, I've become extremely unflappable. This happened before the lifestyle change, but the weight loss and eating better apparently has given me a giant energy boost.
Or maybe I'm just awesome :)
Affirmations for today:
1) I deserve to enjoy the rewards of my hard work.
2) I can handle anything that comes my way.
