sean

now that i should be asleep so i can be pleasant for work tomorrow, i can’t seem to close my eyes. listening to sean pseudo-snore beside me was too cruel so i got out of bed again. i try not to be one of those lifepartners who wakes up the other one just to say “i can’t sleep” but i really, really want to right now. That’ll teach him for going to bed at a sensible hour after working all day when i’ve been home napping and not doing much of anything of substance.

my teeth are feeling much better – one side is a little achy, but nothing i can’t handle. i’m still eating soft foods but they are getting more solid as the hours progress. many thanks to everyone who called, emailled and left comments on the site – your thoughts were mucho appreciated.

i’m definitely going back to work tomorrow. the dentist wrote me a note that said i could be legitimately excused till friday but that would eat all of my sick days for the year, and while i rarely use ’em, i feel better if i have some just in case i have to go to a funeral or something. i’m rather liking this whole lie around the house thing, but if i did it full time, i imagine sean would expect me to clean it more thoroughly and that’s a whole can of worms i choose not to open. never mind the little fact that i can’t afford to be a lady of leisure cuz then the rent wouldn’t get paid.

time to try going to sleep again.

The blog section of this site is celebrating it’s third birthday today. if you look back in the archives, you won’t see my original test posts, but I know I started it on march 29th. It is also Sean’s and my 7th anniversary today. I really feel like our relationship has matured over the years. At least we still like each other, and Sean still makes me laugh. I guess we’ll keep each other – stay together for the cat at least.

I joined a gym again. I’m really excited about it since it has a pool and it’s close to my work as well as weight and cardio machines and lots of classes. I’m really trying to get healthy. I joined Weight Watchers just over five weeks ago and I’ve lost 11.6 pounds so far. This is good stuff. I haven’t talked about it here cuz a) I haven’t talked about much of anything here lately and b) it seems that weight stuff is all I talk about lately. My mom calls me and asks me how I did each week. I really appreciate the support, but I wish that my mom would talk to me about stuff besides my weight and my sister’s wedding. Both of these things are very important, but not the be-all and end-all of my life.

But yes, the gym – I’m going to start doing water aerobics again, and weight training and yoga classes. Really and truly. I’m so excited at the idea of becoming truly healthy. I’m proud that the phrase running through my head as of late is “Self, you can do anything you want to if you just put your mind to it.” It’s still scary, but empowering at the same time.
