Hello Tuesday

Hello and Tuesday! 

I did write down a previous entry to copy and paste but forgot to post it. That is what happens when I work on the weekends. It's ok because I'm going to start a fresh post now.

Let's see, I think the last time I posted was about seeing King Arthur. Since that day I have been working and relaxing. 

I worked Friday and Saturday 2nd shift and work went well too. It wasn't stressful and it's nice to chat with the nurses and everyone else too.

I worked Sunday but it was a short shift and then I have been off since I got out on Sunday.

Monday was Memorial Day and I relaxed and thought of everyone in the service that have fought/still fight for our country.

I made a lasagna on Monday and I will hopefully take some to work on Thursday. It came out good too.

Other than that, I have been reading and relaxing. Not much else to say but I'm doing ok, been kinda sad but working on being positive.

I started rewatching the Vampire Diaries, I like when Klaus comes in during the show and yes I love The Originals too. 

So going to watch some more Vampire Diaries and then off to bed. 

Good night everyone, sweet dreams.

King Arthur, Life

Let's see, what can I write about today? 

Well I finally saw King Arthur and that is a movie I will be buying when it comes out. Great movie and loved all the special effects were fantastic. 

Got to try the new caramel m&ms which are ok but I don't think they are as good as the peanut butter ones.

I finished The Tutor by K. Larsen and it was fantastic!!!! I ordered a paperback if it too. I love her writing. 

Today has been good despite the rain and cold but otherwise things have been good this week.

Tomorrow is payday so the phone bill, wifi bill and credit card get paid. I hate having bills but I'm doing great by paying on time or before the due date.

I know when my bills are due and I think that helps me, this way I concentrate on not spending and I get to save more money.

Memorial Day is coming up and I will be working. My family doesn't celebrate this holiday at least I don't think they do. I usually work it every year.

So good news is June is coming which is a busy month for me because of work which is fine. I picked up the hours and this way I can pay my health insurance too.

I'm doing a virtual Disney race so that is coming right up which is exciting. I'm hoping to do a Disney 5k if they are not full but if they are full it's ok. 

I also need to save up For Wisconsin in September. Never been there but I get to see the ladies which I'm excited for.

Anyways, I'm happy and just doing really good. Now I'm going to get ready for bed, hopefully sleep good tonight and do laundry tomorrow. 

That's all I have for now, good night and sleep tight.

Yesterday and Today = Great Days

Well today was cloudy but for a Tuesday it's been good. I have today off and I slept in which is rare for me.

I also watched Ben-Hur (2016) which was a great movie and very interesting. Now I'm not a religious person so I had no idea the movie was about brothers who would fight against each other and Jesus is in it too.

It was sad at times but I believe the movie is true to the history. It's okay if you disagree, I just see it as very true.

Today has been super awesome. I checked my email and received an ARC of a book by K. Larsen. ARC stands for advance readers copy.

No I can't tell you what it's about but that I'm excited to be reading it!!! I'm also happy that I was one of 20 people that were picked from signing up.

K. Larsen is a great author and I loved her work! I got to meet her 2 years ago in East Long Meadow, Massachusetts at a book store.

Her and I became friends on Facebook first then got to meet in person. It was awesome to meet her and I also saw her at TAE in April too.

She writes romance that can be dark, adventurous, loving, crazy and a thrill ride.

Her work is great because I read it and I think I know who the bad person is but then you get a big twist and turn. It's not who you think, that is the best story writer out there. 

So I'm taking a break from reading, not sure if I will watch something or just sit here and relax. 

Things are good and I was lazy today, didn't go out which is fine with me. 

Maybe I will add more tho this a little later.

The post above written yesterday and I forgot to post it. 

Well today is Wednesday, I'm enjoying my day and of course my reading. 

However I did go out. I needed wood shavings for the guinea pigs because I didn't have any. I love the price for a big bag and went to Horse and Buggy Feed to get them.

So now I can clean out the guinea pigs cage and they can have clean shavings.

While I was at Horse and Buggy Feed, I stopped at Monadnock Food Co-Op. they have these delicious blue corn tortilla chips that I love!!! So I got two bags since it was a good deal. 

The food Co-Op is expensive in general but I love the chips and the meat they have. The meat is expensive but the cows are grass fed and there is no crap added to the meat. Yes I will pay extra for better beef.

I would like to shop there more often and I know a membership would be beneficial and you give back to your community. That to me is important.

So in other news, I haven't been doing much. Just reading, watched two different versions of Ben Hur and waiting for pay day to arrive because I want to pay my bills.

Hopefully going to the movies tomorrow but the LNA for my niece didn't show up today so not sure about tomorrow. I could go to a later showing too. That could work out much better instead of the 3pm showtime.

Anyways, everything is great. My cold is almost gone which is awesome!!! My grandfather caught the cold I had so it's not good for him. It sucks to have this cold too.

So that is my news for now, I will post this asap so I don't forget like last night.

Hot Thursday

Today is a hot one folks! I haven't been outside long but you definitely will sweat.

I'm still sick but not as bad as before. Still have the raspy voice, sore throats and I'm still tired. Sucks that I can sleep a full 8 hours at night.

Today I bought Benadryl to see if that would help. The pollen count is high and as much as I don't have allergies I think my illness may be from pollen.

Let's hope Benadryl works.

I used Hannaford to Go today which I love!! You just go online, put items in your cart and then chose a time to pick up. You pay at the store and you are all set.

It's great and saves me time because I cleaned out my locker at the college and returned two blue shirts. Also got my pay stub too since it's payday. 

I also needed gas too so that's why I chose 1pm for a pick up time. I did forget a few things but got them at the store.

Other than that I love the To Go feature at Hannafords.

So not much else is new, I have today off and I was going to go and see King Arthur but the LNA called out for Makayla so I'm not going to see the movie. Guess I will have to wait til it comes out.

I'm bummed but it's ok, you can't predict when you get sick.

Not much else from me, been relaxing and trying not to sleep all day today. Hoping I sleep at least 6 hours tonight.

I have the first Harry Potter movie playing and may do a marathon through tonight. Also when Beauty and the Beast comes out (I think next month) I'm going to buy it. 

That was a great remake and I'm just waiting for it to come out then I can watch it a lot! I should get a fandango gift card. It's what my roku goes through for movies and tv shows.

I have more movies then I do tv shows and sometimes there is a great deal on movies too.

I will eventually invest in Apple TV too since I use iTunes for movies and tv shows as well.

Well I'm back, but I'm multitasking. Doing some cleaning, watching a movie and writing at the same time.

I'm being productive with the fan on plus my cough which isn't fun but need to clean. I need more than one fan too. 

My room is upstairs so it gets warm up here, maybe instead of oscillating I will set it to blow on me and maybe I will get some sleep.

Also I have been investing too since last month. It's not a lot but it's a start. It's more my retirement fund I hope. Fingers crossed because you can save a lot of money up like my gram did but then she had to use it because her health declined.

So I'm not touching my investment. I downloaded the app and they do round ups. So if you spend $25.25 it will round it up to $26 and the extra $0.25 goes into investing.

It's great and I can put money in at any time besides the roundups and the monthly $10. So I have invested less than $50 but it's a start.

So that really is all I have, I should put a load of laundry in the wash because Makayla has no socks and my grandpa isn't feeling good so I'm helping out.

I will try to post tomorrow before I go to work.

Happy Sunday!

Well today was relaxing and not too bad. It's also Mother's Day, I have no comment on the holiday.

So this weekend has gone by fast but I worked and stayed positive. Just finished watching Moana and will be going to bed soon.

My 5k race is approaching fast which is kinda scary but really exciting too! I hope it's good weather that day.

I really want to rant like full blown cranky post but I'm not going to do that because I may feel better getting everything out but honestly, what good will it do?

People won't change and you can't force someone to change so why bother?

Instead this will be a happy entry. Life is good, I'm working and I have made summer goals. Also I'm doing 3 virtual online races that are also 5ks which will be fun.

Hopefully going to see King Arthur next week too. I would have gone this week but I decided to work every Friday and Saturday 3-11pm so that's why I'm going next week.

I want to see Guardians of the Galaxy too but I'm going to pass on it fir now. Good news is.....Beauty and the Beast is out next month!!!!!! 

Super excited for that, going to buy it digitally and of course watch it! I loved the original and I loved the remake even though there were a couple of things I didn't like in the remake but overall the movie was awesome!

Ok, so I should get to bed since I took NyQuil for my cough. I'm getting sleepy so I should post this.

Anyways happy Sunday everyone.

Time to Write

Well it's Saturday and I haven't updated since Tuesday. Yay for a post today!

So things are going well except I think I caught something going around at work. I was feeling ok yesterday morning and by 5pm I had a sore throat, headache and my body ached too.

Work went well at the nursing home last night and I took NyQuil last night to help with the sore throat. 

I'm feeling a little better but not 100%, so it's lots of water, vitamins and rest.

In other news, I'm still working out and the no junk food diet went ok. I did give in on 2 days but I did good with it.

It's not easy when you cut out food that you like or sweet sugary foods get cut out, it's hard and my theory is cut stuff out slowly and then I think eating healthy gets easier.

So I did no junk food for 5 days but with giving in on 2 days, I lost 4lbs in 5 days. I was hoping for 1-2lbs and lost more.

It's great and I'm eating vegetables and kale again. So I'm going to continue to eat better for my health and continue exercise.

Maybe I should do a before photo and say in a few weeks do another photo.

So that's my update for now, going to watch 13 reasons why and then I work again tonight.

Awesome Tuesday Update

It's Tuesday and I think an update is in order. 

Well not much is new but I'm doing good. I started the No Junk Food diet but today was a bad day. 

It started out good but after lunch not good. I need to cut out the bad food slowly instead of all at once.

So tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to try and do better tomorrow. It's a fresh day and I'm taking this one day at a time.

I have been going to the gym which has been good. I have the membership so I'm going to use it.

Other than that, everything is good except the weather, it has been cold and I'm hoping we get warmer weather soon. 

More tomorrow or Thursday.

Gym

I'm back! Okay well back home. I went to the gym today and it felt good to be there. Did a little of the tread mill, bike and weights plus stretching.

I was there for about an hour which I think is a good start. I took protein gel after Le-Vel Thrive Form gel. It replaces protein and collagen too.

I am picking up an order at Hannafords later, need to cook lunch and dinner. Just showered so hopefully going to relax before Makayla gets home from school.

Also I may go to the gym tomorrow but won't stay long. Not sure yet or take tomorrow as a rest day. 

Oh well, will figure it out later. Have a great day everyone.

I also weighed myself today and will see what my weight is on Saturday. 

Just want to be healthier.

A New Day!

Today is a new day! I'm trying a 5 day no junk food diet. Well it's to be eating more healthy so it's Day 1.

I'm trying it for 5 days instead of 30, this won't be easy but I think starting small is best and then keep working at it.

I'm hoping to get to the gym today after my niece gets on the bus for school.

After that, it's time for the gym and may get more veggies and fruits. I bought kale and green beans but I should get more.

Also need to cook food for my shift tonight at work.

More later

Tired

Hey everyone! I wanted to write more but I'm tired so going to bed very soon. I will write more tomorrow.

Hopefully getting out side or to the gym. More later and good night.

Saturday

Happy Saturday! 

Well it's raining here in town which sucks but I will be working and we do need the rain, I did get a few things done today.

One: I went into livejournal and deleted a few people and groups. I did leave people on there that I have known for a long time, I just needed to clean it up.

Two: I am working a lot this week but have been getting workouts in which is awesome! 

Those are the few things I have done which is good. Next I want to try a no junk food cleanse for 5 days. It will be a struggle but I want to try it.

Also since I have been working out at home, I'm hoping to get to the gym next week. Planning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the morning.

After Makayla gets on the bus I plan on going, hope it's not too croweded plus I don't want to over do it on the workout.

I'm bored at the moment but I did read a bit more of Mr. Moneybags. It's really good too and I'm 60% of the way through it, I also need to read an ARC later too, just taking a break from reading.

Working at 3pm today and need to make myself a lunch too. I have soup but want to take veggies with me that I bought yesterday.

When I went grocery shopping yesterday I didn't buy soda, normally I do but I just didn't think about it so I didn't get it.

Also many people were out shopping too so it was crowded.

Oh well, going to relax before work, may update tomorrow or on Monday. I want to enjoy my time away from Sodexo.
