More progress in My this and that
So, I’ve added regular runs to my schedule, as well as regular workouts, so hopefully seeing it on my calendar will help me to skip out less. I’m going to start some strength training as well as...
Some motivation for my disappointment in My this and that
This morning I actually got up with my alarm at 5:30 a.m., but ended up crawling back into bed after my morning pee because I was too tired to force myself out of the door for my run. BUT this mo...
16 minutes in My this and that
I’ve been stuck in my running at 15 minutes, I couldn’t go longer. I kept getting cramps and having to take a walk break… my goal is to keep increasing my time until I can run a full 30 minutes…...
Jake update in My this and that
Well, I took Jake to the vet yesterday. We don’t actually own a proper carrier, but we have a collapsible cardboard carrier that we got when we brought him home from the humane society, so I jus...
Poor Jake the Cat in My this and that
So, I’m pretty certain we’ve cleared up Jake’s ear mites… but this morning I had the revelation that he may have a bladder infection or something. I’ve noticed that he’s peed in places other tha...
No stealing of joy in My this and that
I’m feeling angsty today. Just dissatisfied. It’s not hard to annoy me today. It may be the stress of work, as it’s a short week and I have extra work since we’re doing an extra service this w...
Thanks to my Hubby in My this and that
I need to brag on Ben a bit. I was sick this weekend, when we were at a retreat with friends and just wanting to have fun. My stomach was turning and it was just not a pretty site, so I spent a...
VICTORY! in My this and that
I just wanted to share, and I thought I’d share it here instead of on another social media site, because I know no one really cares, but I care, and this is my journal, so there! Anyway, my victo...
Stretch me, and I will grow. in My this and that
The sermon at church this Sunday was meant for me. I’m glad I went. I almost didn’t. I had the best clothing swap party ever this past weekend. Plus invited a lady who sells all natural produc...
Sick and Tired of being Angry in My this and that
Why can’t I love the people that Jesus loved the most? The broken, the liars, the drunks and drug abusers. Every day I’m faced with it, and everyday I interact with these people, and everyday th...
No Ben in my Bed in My this and that
Ben had his last appointment with the surgeon today just to do a follow up. He says he no longer has any pain at all, and though the full range of motion hasn’t returned to his toes, I’m glad he...
Yabber Jabber in My this and that
I did not mean to sound like a monster in my last entry! I do care about people and want to help them. No more excuses. I’ve gotten up to nine minutes of running, and I can’t wait to get over t...
Free food here. in My this and that
The church where I work is located in the downtown of the city. So we get A LOT of people in off the streets. Sometimes they just sit and need a place to warm up, but usually they come in looki...
Finally did a 7 minute run in My this and that
Remember a couple of weeks ago, when I was really on a role with running, and going out about two or three times a week? And then remember when I stopped writing about it? Ya, that’s because I ...
Not a slave to the phone in My this and that
There is a pastor here at church who sometimes chooses to not be a slave to the phone. I can understand and appreciate that. It’s frustrating when you are in the middle of something to have to ...
A Lazy Productive Weekend. in My this and that
I feel like it was the perfect mix of laziness and productiveness. On Friday evening I walked home after work, threw my stuff together, then ran to my friends house (literally I ran… it feels goo...
Kicked It in My this and that
Well, I don’t want to speak too soon, but I MAY have kicked this cold with only marginal symptoms left. I just have a slight cough… so we’ll see if it worsens or not. The rest of me feels pretty...
Extra Work in My this and that
So I picked up a little side job, transcribing interviews. There are only three interviews, and they are only about 40 minutes each; so it’s not long term or anything; but he did say he’d pay me...
Stay back you cold germs! in My this and that
So, I spent the whole weekend inside. Friday after work, I’d decided to meet with two friends to get some swimming exercise. We exercise together two or three times a week, which is AMAZING. ...
Another Wacky Dream in My this and that
Lent has started. YAY! I always look forward to this time of year, and Easter is my favourite holiday, so we know that’s coming up soon! I had a wacky dream again last night. I dreamt that I w...
All You Can Eat in My this and that
Those are some of my favourite words. Ben and I ended up not being able to celebrate Valentine’s Day ON Valentine’s Day because the day became too full… and we were fed too much by Ben’s mom, so...
Long Weekend in My this and that
I noticed that in the summer I usually have my long weekends planned in advance… but in the winter they tend to sneak up on me. For Valentine’s day tomorrow Ben’s family is all getting together f...
I need a longer day, please. in My this and that
I’m just SO tired in the winter. I mean, I still get the same amount of hours after work until bedtime, but I get far less done during that time. After my 45 minute walk home in the snow, I am ...
Irritable in My this and that
Once again I find myself feeling irritable to the point where my bones feel annoyed. I know, that sounds ridiculous… but literally the core of my body is so annoyed with having to sit in this ch...
Running log in My this and that
Is this becoming a regular thing? Running logs are BORING! Sorry for that. We went out this morning and called it quit’s after half of our run. Just TOO COLD! -35 with the windchill, we decid...
