Oh man. Busy day was busy.

I’m happy to report that today didn’t suck, and that I actually was able to turn in around from the feelings this morning.

I got a lot of writing done this morning; my daily post, a prompt writing, as well as the weekly recap that I’m terrible about doing. I showered and made it to lunch on time, which was a fantastic and relaxing experience.

At around 2:30 Sabrina and I parted ways. I headed to school to fill out my admin hours by working on school work for my class. I am taking Typography and Page Layout again. I’m glad I’m back in this class. I’m ready to take it on.

I got through all of the class introduction assignments as well as all of the reading and the quiz. I completed the discussion post, so now I just need to reply to posts from other students before the following Monday. I created an event on my calendar to remind me to post replies on Friday, so I won’t lose points for not participating in ‘class discussions’.

I’ve already finished most of one excerise assignment, and the other I should be able to breeze through. I was going to finish both of those today, but since it’s already midnight and I want to go to sleep at 1am I have changed my plans to finishing the excerises tomorrow.

At 5pm I left school and headed home. I wanted to do the spin class at the gym, which started at 5:30. When I got home the first thing I noticed was the dishes were done. /swoon

That was the sexiest sink I’ve ever seen. I went into the room and thanked Zane for doing the dishes and apologized for being bitchy and frustrated earlier. I didn’t have much time before the class, so I changed super fast, kissed him bye and rushed out the door.

I made it to the gym with enough time to stash my keys and wallet in a locker and get to the class. It was super intense, at least from what I’m used to at the YMCA. I think there are a few other factors that go into it, like not being hydrated enough, not eating as clean as I should be, and not having been to the gym in a week. I haven’t biked in at least two weeks, most likely closer to a month.

I’m not ashamed to say that I didn’t say for the whole thing. I stayed for most of it. About 40 minutes out of 60. I did 15 miles in those 40 minutes, and I pushed myself pretty hard. I’m happy with my effort, and as the week goes on I’ll be able to stay for more of the class as I get my endurance back.

I’m proud of myself for going to the class. It’s my first one at the new gym. I didn’t know anyone in the room. I didn’t know the instructor. And I didn’t let that stop me. I still had an awesome workout and I’m looking forward to the other classes I plan to take this week.

When I got back to the apartment from the gym Zane and I talked with Trevor and Danille about communal meals and about dividing up buying some of the grocery stuff. Today was my day to cook dinner, so we were doing Mexican Monday with a Mexican Beef Skillet recipe that I like.

I also talked to my mom for a bit. We weren’t able to chat for a super long time, but we both were able to share a few of our stories. I got to tell her about the wallet adventure. We chatted a bit about John, too. It was a good conversation, but there is still more for us to talk about, so we have tentative plans to talk more tomorrow.

After the mom call I showered so Zane and I could go to the store. We put the laundry in the wash before we headed out. The store was a success, though I will need to go out tomorrow for a few more items.

I got a new body wash while we were out. It’s an Irish Spring wash, but it has mint in it. I’ve used it once before but I have never been able to find it since then. I can’t wait to shower tomorrow. It’s such an interesting feeling. It leaves my skin tingly and cool because of the mint in the soap. I’m totally ok with people thinking I’m weird.

When we got home I switched the wash to the dryer then got started on cooking dinner. The recipe makes a ton of food, so even with feeding all four of us there’s still enough left over for at least two, more like three, meals.

I still need to clean the kitchen and put the cloths away, but for the most part the day is done. And I’m having a hard time holding on to consciousness. I’m beat from the gym and from getting everything done today.

Oh! Stuff I forgot about. I made an eye appointment for Friday, and rescheduled my doctor’s appointment for this coming Monday. More stuff on my list of productivity.

So yeah. That was my day. Zane and I talked so we’re on the same page again. I’m feeling connected to the here and now. tomorrow I work 5pm to 1am, but dinner will be done when I get home, so all I’ll have to do is eat, maybe clean the kitchen, then pass out.

I already have my to-do list made too. The morning is sort of crazy with some errands I want to get done, but the afternoon shouldn’t be too bad, and once I’m at work I’ll be able to knock out the bit of school work I have left.

I’m content with the way today turned out. I’m content with feeling tired and like I did a bunch, because I really did.

I’m going to go finish those last two tasks before sitting and enjoying the last hour or so of my night.
