I miss exercise.

Now, I should state here that yes, I'm pretty active and have been for the last week or so - I did all that walking in Manhattan, I pulled all those crazy shifts last week between school and work and I've been pretty nutso busy this week too so far.

But today was an absolutely gorgeous early fall day here and I really wanted to go for a walk/slow jog when I got out of work. Sadly, there was no time for that as I had to make the 40 minute drive to school and get back to the mountain of homework from last week that I didn't have time to tackle yet. So no real good sweaty, music filled walk/jog for me.

I also miss hot meals and making dinner. I don't think I've actually cooked in over a week. It's sad but I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow because I'm getting free lunch again at work and that means I can actually eat something hot. Yeah, I can probably bring in something to heat up but that takes time away from me studying/going outside - two things I desperately need to do these days. (I work in a room with no windows and horrid fluoroscent lighting).

I don't mind it a few days a week but I think after last week it's just tough and I have another 3 weeks of class on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (and Saturday morning) before I drop back to just Monday and Wednesday (which are more doable.) I kind of knew this was going to suck for the beginning part of the semester but I wanted to get as close to halfway through this degree as I could in case I end up laid off again and need to try to intern in the summer. (I like having options and multiple backup plans, I'm anal like that.)

Also realized tonight I'm ushering on Thursday after work. I'm not entirely nuts about that because I was hoping to have that night to myself (I'd signed up weeks ago before I knew all the crap I'd have over the past two weeks.) Thankfully, the theater is close and I'm hoping I can leave after late seating. I really don't want to cancel on them even if I am a volunteer because I genuinely like the people and the theater. So we'll see, if I feel up to it, I might see the show (which is one of the main reasons I usher - seeing the show free) but I'm signed up for another performance of this show in October when I'll hopefully have more energy.

Got to wear a top and pair of pants to work that haven't fit me in over a year today which was fun. My wardrobe options are expanding every week without me actually having to shop since I find I'm fitting into stuff in my closet that I haven't been able to wear before. That's kinda awesome :) Although, seriously, I should not wear peep toe heels if I insist on carrying my 20lb backpack up 4 flights of stairs. My feet don't like that, lol.

Affirmations for today:
1) Every day you teach people how to treat you, if you accept bad behavior, you teach people it's okay to treat you badly.

2) Standing my ground doesn't always mean yelling at the top of my lungs or causing a fit

3) Today's hard work will pay off tomorrow.
