I
know I haven’t written in 10 days, I am still working on my
procrastination problem. I am determined to tackle it before my 25th
birthday in July. I would hate to make the big mistake of not writing
anything in the 2nd quarter of my life like I did in this one. I suppose
starting to write in my journal and / or blog at 17 wasn’t too bad, but
now people will be missing so much. My life before that was quite
interesting. There are a lot of details about my younger years that I
have forgotten so sadly you will only hear it in fragments now and then
in my entries.
I guess now I should catch you up. I have a lot to tell. I will
just start from yesterday and go backwards. I will do today’s entry
separately. If you find this confusing, I suggest you read the
paragraphs backwards or something like that. :)
21st
The day started out with dad making pancakes. He makes the best
buttermilk pancakes in the world. I had them with cherry raspberry
rhubarb spread and a bit of butter on top. I had some of my sister’s
home made bread also for breakfast.
I got my stuff ready to go to the gym, I decided to wear my
green tank top and my green headband. Instead of bringing them with me I
decided to just wear them on the way there. I grabbed my backpack and
bus pass and left to catch the bus.
I switched up my routine at the gym and did more of what my
personal trainer told me to do. I alternated 25 pull ups, 20 sit ups, 20
push ups and 30 squats 3 or 4 times. I did some cardio for 30 minutes,
did two more rounds of my routine and then 30 more minutes of cardio. I
finished up with 20 minutes of swimming, 10 minutes in the steam room
and then a shower. Once I was cleaned up I did my usual routine of going
to See’s Candies in the mall, and getting the orange chicken and
teriyaki chicken samples from the food court. This time they gave me a
butterscotch chew at See’s candies, I love those. Oh, I nearly forgot to
mention that the swimsuit dryer at the gym ate the green headband
somehow, it was bizarre. I won’t be putting my headbands in there
anymore with my swimsuit.
After looking at shoes in some of the stores I went to Farr’s
ice cream and got a cup of half salty Carmel and half pistachio, went
outside and caught the bus home.
Nothing all that great happened after I got home I was pretty
tired and so I took a nap while I listened to Harry Potter for about a
half an hour. Other than that I just listened to music, watched a few
episodes of Ben 10, and some minecraft videos on youtube.
20th
I stayed up late the night before so I slept in really late. My
day didn’t start until around 3pm. Days that I don’t go to the gym I
usually don’t do much. I went for an hour long walk, I like listening to
techno music and thinking about friends and other stuff when I take
walks. Other than that I started watching random My Little Pony
commentaries, and started watching Sailor Moon again.
19
I ate a big breakfast and got ready to go to the gym. I
couldn’t find my shoes so I had to go grab my asic running shoes. I
wasn’t very happy about this because I hadn’t broken them in and I was
saving them for much later when I can actually run.
This was the day I started doing more arm and ab workouts. I
also tried out some of the other cardio machines like the star stepper
and something similar. I did not do any swimming this day so I cleaned
up when I got home instead. I ate some Cheerios and apple slices before
I left and went to See’s candies to get a sample. They gave me a
coconut cream flavored chocolate covered in dark chocolate.
When I got home I spent most of the day just doing the usual,
you know listening to music and random internet stuff. One thing I did
that I normally don’t do a lot is try and find past friends. I actually
successfully managed to find my childhood best friend Eric on Facebook
and his wife. It looks like they are very happy. I sent him one last
message saying how sorry I was for how I acted in my teens, and for
being such a jerk to the person that he ended up married to. I didn’t
add him or anything, but left it like that. I want him to remember me in
a good way, not the way I left our friendship 6 years ago.
18th (read 17 first)
I couldn’t find a ride to church so I attended it at the nearby
chapel. After I was done there I went home and just relaxed. We
celebrated my sister’s birthday again mom made garlic chicken, rice
pilaf, and salad. We had coconut cream pie again for dessert. More of us
are able to be together on Sundays without work and stuff.
I randomly started searching for social networks for introverts
sometime in the evening. I found one called Anomo, it’s an app for
android and iphone.
17th
Had a dream that these men were after me snd wanted me for some
reason I’m not sure of. I remember one of them was fat though. I went
to Darik snd Dylan’s house and found places to hide. Was going to hide
in the closet but it was full, was. I remember something about finding
some place to hide in a big drawer under the bed. Something about
various people wondering about where I was, something about a flexible sword with snake like
qualities. Dylan imposter or something like that, thought it was Dylan
or maybe it was but I don’t know. I don’t think I got hurt, he might
have left me alone after trying to pull out the drawer he pulled out the
bed I was scared.
I remember something about escaping to a space ship and going
to a pokemon planet or something. I think I was an alien. I’m not sure
about this part. I think it was connected to the first part but not
sure. The dream changed. I remember something like trying to find Dylan
in a bowling alley and then at a club, friends were with me and then
with nieces for some reason. Finding Dylan at the party or someone like
him. Something at the party about lord of the rings VIP party that cost
over 1000 dollars, I think was a party club pass membership or
something. Went and found some stairs, there was a long line. Previously
decided not to buy admission to other floor of party. Downstairs there
were Instagram picture booths where groups and people were taking
pictures thought Dylan might be there had a picture taken by some people
I had on weird circle glasses on that had changed dark because of the
lights. Went upstairs cause nieces or someone was calling. It was pretty
random.
Had a Ben 10 marathon, didn’t have anything else to do. It was
my sister’s birthday and she went out for lunch. Later we had coconut
cream pie, we didn’t have enough money to do anything else together. I
spent the rest of the evening playing around with my computer changing
the colors, font styles, and overall theme. I figured out how to make my
browser colors high contrast.
16th
After I ate breakfast on this day and made the usual
preparations I headed off to the gym. This day was the first day that I
officially saw my personal trainer at the gym. We talked about my goals,
nutrition and went through my routine. I nearly passed out when he had
me do a quarter of a mile as fast as I could on the elliptical. I think I
felt sick for 10 minutes after that. Anyway, that is all we had time
for, he set up our next appointment, sent me an email with my routine
and we said goodbye to each other. After this I just did my usual stuff.
After I was done I got a cashew brittle sample at See’s candies
and also made a stop at The Body Shop. I wasn’t sure if I was going to
buy anything, but I ended up buying some new foundation, powder,
lipstick, blush, and lip gloss. I also got a membership card to get a
discount. The card cost me $10, but it’ll come in handy in the future.
In my blog notes I have something about a video written, but
unfortunately I have no clue what that is about. This is why I take more
detailed notes now. -.-
We had shepherds pie sometime in the evening and I actually fell asleep early.
15th
Sadly I don’t have any notes for this day, I remember it was
boring though. I think this was the day I meant to catch up on,
including the stuff before my May 12th entry. I’m still planning on
doing that here.
14th
This was the day I set up my appointment with my personal
trainer. I asked someone at the front desk to send a trainer my way
because I’d never set one up before or scheduled or anything so I had no
idea what to do. This was also the first day I wore the tank tops I
bought the week before. I’ll talk about that day later.
I did some makeup window shopping after I was done at the gym. I
went home after this and accidentally took a longer nap than I
intended. This was while my sister and my niece went to my other niece’s
violin concert. I’m not too fond of violins so I’m holding off on going
until she is better. She is only 12 right now so there is a lot of room
for improvement.
After I woke up from my nap I realized I was really behind on
my calories and it was around 9pm or something so I had to think up
something fast. I ended up making some eggs with cheese and ketchup on
top. They were scrambled eggs. I make my scrambled eggs mixed with
cottage cheese because it makes them fluffy and stuff. After I ate I
started watching D-Grey-Man and I did that for the test of the night.
13.
Boring day, I don’t think anything worth note happened. This was the day after my last entry.
Now to the stuff before my last two entries. This shouldn’t
take too long. I’ll try to not be overly detailed. This is everything in
the first 10 or so days of May.
***************************
Well, usually when a new month comes around, I get my bus pass
from vocational rehab. They know that I need a means to get around and
so they have been providing me with bus passes so I can get around and
job hunt and stuff. It just so happened that my sister needed to go get
some medical papers for a school meeting for one of my nieces on the day
I needed to get my bus pass and so she took me to the office. It didn’t
take long, she drove me up to the office and I was in and out of there
in a matter of minutes. We left right after to go pick up the papers she
needed. Once we were done we went out to eat at Whendy’s. I got a spicy
chicken sandwitch and a frosty. I guess my sister lost track of time
and so we suddenly found ourselves in a hurry because she had to get to
my niece’s school meeting.
She didn’t have enough time to take me home and so we just
headed straight to the school, it isn’t too far from where we live.
When we got to the school, we met up with dad that had just walked over
to meet us. He wasn’t sure if the house was open or not, he told me to
go and check. He thought that my sister would drop me off at home, so he
wasn’t prepared. He and my sister went inside the school building and I
walked home hoping that the door was opened. It’s a good thing I didn’t
get my hopes up, because the door was locked, in fact both doors were
locked. I walked back to the school and tried calling my dad again, but
he didn’t answer. He had told me that he would be out in a little while,
but I had my doubts.
My phone was almost dead and I didn’t have my wallet or
anything, so I just sat outside on the car, and then after a while on
the grass. I waited and waited and waited, and i got more and more and
more irritated. Basically it was two hours before dad gave up and came
out. He said he thought it was going to be shorter, but it turned out to
be a lot longer and more important than he thought it was going to be. I
was in a very bad mood, but I hid that fact. On top of everything and
the fact that I wanted to go to walmart and to the gym 2 hours earlier I
had gotten a very bad sunburn. I just wanted to get as far away for a
while as possible after that bad experience. I hurried up and got my
stuff together, i wasn’t sure if I was going to get to go to the gym
because I wanted to buy some workout stuff at Walmart before I went
there. I wasn’t sure how long I was going to take, but wanted to be
prepared anyway just in case I did have enough time left.
Dad saved me some time by taking me to the bus stop that had
the bus that went straight to walmart. originally I would have had to
take a bus to that bus stop and then catch that bus to walmart. I was
glad hat I got to save probably 45 minutes. Anyway, I had to wait a few
minutes for the next bus, but I was fine with that. When I go to walmart
I was there for a lot longer than I originally intended. I tried on a
ton of different sports bras, and some tank tops. With my new sunburn it
was pretty uncomfortable, but I lived through it. In the end I got six
different bras, 4 were sports bras and 2 were regular bras. I picked out
black, blue, and green tank tops. got some cranberry juice, bai 5
juice, and something else i don’t remember anymore. I walked around the
store for a while after that because i realized i didn’t have enough
time to go to the gym anymore. I just love taking my sweet time
shopping… alone.
By the time I was done the buses had stopped running, buses
over here stop running after 6:30, and it was after 8, so I called my
dad, waited outside for a while, and he took me home. Nothing much
happened after that, I just spent the evening watching random stuff
online and just hanging around the house. I showed the things i bought
to my mom. My sunburn was pretty bad by now and it had come out in full.
I made the mistake of going to the gym the next day, I was okay
working out with my sunburn, but when it came to swimming when I put on
my halter top swim suit it was so incredibly painful. On top of this I
actually was crazy enough to get into the hot tub, I’m sure THAT was
horrid for my burn, I guess I wasn’t thinking about it enough. It’s
probably a good thing that i did not go into the sauna or the steam room
that day. When I got into the pool I got some relief, but I was so glad
when I go to take that swim suit off. After that trip to the gym I made
my monthly purchase from See’s Candies and then went home. I learned my
lesson after that trip to the gym and took a break the following week
from the gym. This stuff happened during the first weekend of May.
Anyway, because I decided to stay away from the gym due to my
really bad sunburn for the first full week of May that week wasn’t
really all that eventful. Of course there is the possibility that I
forgot some things because that week i did not take any blog notes. that
is a mistake I will not be making again. Most of this post would not
have been possible if I had not gotten into that habit now.
One thing i do remember is that I was on a Veronica Mars
marathon for a lot of it, I actually finished the series and the movie
by last week. I also went to the Cinco De Mayo carnival at a local
elementary school, it was a pretty awesome thing. Every year they throw a
carnival to raise funds for the school. You can get various punch
passes for various amounts of money. I got a 40 count punch pass for $10
dollars. I used it on things like cotton candy, hand made bead rings,
nachos, chips and salsa after the nachos, and spinning a wheel for
candy. There were a ton of people there and there was bidding on cool
baskets, there was face painting, a giant inflatable slide, a rock wall,
a candy cannon, and a lot of other stuff I don’t remember. I went to
last years carnival and it was just as cool, only back then I got to bid
on one of the baskets. I didn’t win the bid, but it was still fun.
Anyway, if I remember anything else later I will talk about
it in future entries, the same goes for any memories before I started
blogging. I will be sharing those memories from time to time randomly.
This entry took me a long time to write and a lot of patience and I am
done now, so i am going to go take a break and sit back and be proud of
myself. Hope you enjoyed the post! :)
