♪♫ No Time For Caution - Hans Zimmer
I've got a lot to talk about. I'll start with Thursday... which was a super stressful day. I made quite a few phone calls in the morning to make appointments and whatnot. One of them was for my first GED test! I'm taking the reading test tomorrow afternoon! I can't wait to get the first test out of the way! Anyways, I also had to make a phone call to book a swim for my Brownie unit... but the place I called has been sending me in circles for the past week. It was so frustrating! So I gave up, and I told one of my fellow leaders that I'd rather have another task... so she said that I can do the paperwork instead. But I feel dumb about it, because they asked me to do more (now that I'm understanding how everything works), and I couldn't complete the first big task they gave me. Ugh...
Then I showed up for the Brownie meeting in the evening, and no one was there... I texted one of the leaders, and she didn't reply right away, so I went home after 30 minutes of waiting. She eventually texted back and said that they were selling cookies in a different location, and that they apparently emailed me, texted, and called me! But I triple checked everything, and I did absolutely did not receive anything at all! I'm sure she sent them, but they clearly did not go through. She seemed pissed that I didn't show up (although I'm probably just paranoid), even though its not my fault at all. Ugh. I feel really bad about it. I feel like I'm just a bumbling idiot. And its super bad timing too, because I'm applying for an internship in May, and I was gonna ask them to be a reference. I feel weird asking now... I may wait a few weeks until it blows over. Even though its unlikely, I will be so upset if I don't get a reference from them. That was pretty much half the reason I even decided to volunteer as a Brownie leader...
Friday was a much better day. I had a doctor's appointment in the morning, but I had some time to kill beforehand, so I went shopping at the dollar store. I got some stuff for when I travel in the summer! It was less than $10 for everything combined! When I got in to see my doctor, we went over my test results... I do not have sleep apnea! I thought I would be very disappointed (because I wanted to know why I have no energy), but I felt relieved. My doctor says that I'm likely not sleeping well due to stress, which is probably right. I also got weighed again, and I've lost another 5 lbs! Anyways, I grabbed some lunch at Subway, then I headed to my appointment with my therapist in the early afternoon. I told her about everything that happened the day before, and she told me a couple things that were eye opening. For one; the Brownie leaders are asking too much of me. Its a volunteer job, and I really shouldn't be given things to do outside of the time I'm volunteering. I'm not required to do it, and I really don't have the time either. She also said that my GED is very important, and that I should focus more on it and less on Brownies. She is definitely right. Its just a volunteer job! I don't need to do anything that I don't want to do and/or have the time to do! I gotta say no more!
I decided to go to Walmart after that. I needed to do something to get my mind off of the stress, and shopping always does the trick! I had to wait a bit for a bus though, so I went into Starbucks and treated myself to a tea. It was very relaxing! I used to treat myself to Starbucks at least once a week. I need to start doing it again! Anyways, a tragedy happened whilst I was on the bus... my headphones broke (the ones I got for Christmas)! I was so pissed! But I got to Walmart, and shopping took my mind off of everything! I bought some awesome stuff; a kitchen scale, two genie bras (I tried them on & they really hold everything up/in place!), a firm support sports bra, and two tank tops. I got all the bras and the tank tops in one size smaller than I take now (because I'm losing weight). They're all a tad bit tight now, but will fit me perfectly in the summer! Also, none of them have wire... because fuck bras with wire in them. And I got a box of peppermint tea at Tim Horton's on the way home. Yay!
Also here is the Powerpuff Girl version of me! All I'm missing is a big cup of tea! And maybe a stack of DVDs and/or Blu-rays!
Now onto yesterday... my cousin and I went out for a few hours. First we stopped at Staples, and I bought my favorite brand of earbuds; JVC's Gumy! I used to buy them all the time before I got the big headphones. They always last a long time, they're comfy, and the sound is good! Anyways, we also went to the mall... my cousin wanted to change her phone plan. We went to the food court for lunch (I brought my lunch), and went to Chapters to look around. Then we got groceries on our way home. I needed a bunch of bananas and unsweetened chocolate almond milk. I weighed the bananas as soon as we got home, and it turns out I've been eating medium bananas. I thought they were large... so I've been eating less calories every morning than I thought! That is always good news!
Also, I realized yesterday that I'm down a size earlier than expected. My pants are sooo loose on me now. I have to pull them up a lot... its annoying. So I'm gonna go to Value Village sometime this month, and I'm gonna get a pair of size 16 jeans for $10 or less. There is no point in buying a brand new/expensive pair of pants, because I'll be down another size in a few months! I just need one pair to get me by until then! And, since I was cleaning my bedroom last night, I also went through my clothes and decided to get rid of 1/3 of them. A lot of stuff is way too big for me now. Its hard to believe that I've lost 45 lbs so far! I should be under 200 lbs in a month or so!
A few more things to mention...
I tried the Vitamin Water Zero (Lemonade) and it was amazing! Its definitely a new favorite of mine! I want to start reading again! I used to read all the time, but its been years since I've been able to read a book. I was deeply depressed for a long time, and its been less than a year since I began feeling better. I think its time that I get back into it! I made a list of 5 places that I'd like to internship at for child & youth care experience. My job counselor is gonna hook me up! I'm gonna work on more designs for my shop. I need to make more money!
I'm gonna relax all day today. That is it for now!
