Blogging… interrupted.

Posted by: curiousillusion on: October 12, 2009

So I had decided that I needed to get better at blogging… and I was totally going to try to post some decent blog posts, starting today.  Unfortunately that all changed when I got sick today.  Boo.  So here’s a mini update of what’s going on:

  • Being sick sucks.  The end.  I spent all day at work feeling queasy and then about a half hour before the kids were to be dismissed… well, let’s just say I realized that it was time for me to go home.   The nurse said there’s a stomach bug going around, along with the flu… I’m hoping I’ll be back to normal by tomorrow.  Actually I’m hoping I’ll be back to normal like RIGHT NOW but… as long as I’m able to work tomorrow, that’ll be fine.  I only get 5 sick days for the whole year and I don’t want to start using them now…
  • I’m thinking I should cancel my membership with the gym.  I haven’t been in 3 or 4 weeks and I only went 3 times in all of September.  That’s a waste of money.  Plus my parents were discussing money the other day and I realized how much I want to get out of debt.  The money being spent on the gym could go towards paying down my car.  My only concern is, I wonder how hard it will be to quit the gym.  I’ve always heard horror stories.
  • The weather here in Texas is getting tiresome.  This weekend a cold front blew through and it was chilly… perfect weather for October.  Now it’s warming back up and it’s supposed to be up to 88 on Thursday.  Another cold front is supposed to blow through this Friday… I’m hoping this one sticks.  I’m ready for Autumn weather.
  • I think I’m giving up on a few TV shows.  House is boring me, this season has been tiresome so tonight will be the last night I will give it a chance.  Grey’s Anatomy is also getting on my nerves… I loved the first few seasons but it’s become a completely different show and I’m not interested in it anymore.  None of the characters appeal to me.  I also think I need to give up on Dollhouse, only because I *know* it’s about to get canceled and I hate getting attached to TV shows that leave me.
  • I miss taking pictures.  More than that, I’m disappointed in myself, that I quit project 365.  When I look at how far I came, how many days in a row I didn’t miss a picture (I never missed a picture until I quit.  Not once.), I wish I would have stuck it out.  I also wish I wouldn’t have let it become a chore.  I keep looking at other people’s pictures and wishing I could shoot like that again.  Sigh.  Maybe one day.  For now I’m still taking my break from my camera… hopefully the desire and inspiration will kick in soon.
  • I’m starting to get lonely.  I’m not depressed or tragically lonely… but I still don’t have many friends here.  And it’s been a looong time since I’ve had a guy in my life.  And while I was happy with that for a while, now I’m starting to get restless.  Especially because.. how on earth am I ever going to meet a guy?  But more on that another day…

    "how on earth am I ever going to meet a guy?" I think that a lot. No answers, as of yet.
  • Maybe we need to work on that, lol!
  • I got out of my gym contract because of my sore knees. And then I bought a Wii Fit and have been using it ever since!

    Feel better soon, pet x
  • Oooh I want a Wii Fit. Or a Wii for that matter. I'm jealous!
  • You can still take photos, even if you're not doing Project365 - I would love to see them for sure! Just take them when you feel like it, or when something strikes you - then it'll be fun!
  • Yeah I think I will try... can't hurt!
  • A first year teacher at a new school always get sick more than those who taught at the school longer. New environment, new germs. Though I'm VERY surprised that you only have 5 sick days total. I always had 10 at each school.

    I'm thinking about a gym membership. My running season is over and I miss lifting weights.

    You can always start anew w/ the 365 project.

    Finally, I met my girl at the airport. You never know where he will pop up. =)
  • Yeah maybe so. Although a lot of teachers that were at this school last year have been sick recently too. It's been bad all around.

    You can have my membership. :)

    Oooh an airport huh? Maybe I need to hang around some more often.
  • I hope you feel better soon!
    I think you should get out of the gym contract if you really aren't going but be sure to find different ways of exercising.
    I wish the weather would cool down here too :(
    I am so surprised you aren't liking House this season! I am loving it! Let me know what you thought of tonight's episode!
    Gosh, I miss taking pics too! I had so much time in the summer... now not so much.
    I totally feel you on the lonely thing. All my friends have moved away or had babies and my bf and I broke up 3 weeks ago. It's been a really hard transition for me.
    I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of us! :)
  • Yeah I was thinking of trying to get into running again. Maybe. I didn't really like it all that much though.

    I didn't watch House. Was it good? I'm kind of ready for something spectacular to happen with it.

    Aww sorry to hear about your friends and all that. I feel your pain!
  • I am so sorry to hear about you getting sick. I hope its just a 24 hour bug!! That's never fun. As for the other stuff:

    Gym - Did you sign a 1 yr. contract? It can be kinda tough but just stand your ground. Tell them you're moving or something. They'll let you out.

    Weather - I'd love an 85 degree day! Today was so cold here.

    Photography - I *really* miss seeing your pictures. Even though you stopped 365 (I understand the guilt) I hope you'll start doing something again. You have quite a talent!

    Friends - Keep your chin up. I have faith you'll meet new people (and boys!) soon. :)
  • Nope, didn't sign a 1 yr contract. Phew. Will try. I think I need to wait til 20 days before I get billed, then I don't get penalized. Or something.

    Awww thanks.
