So I started cleaning my room the other day, and though it's not a HUGE improvement, it felt good to get something done. Lately, I've been so slammed with school work, that when I get home, I just collapse and get absolutely nothing done. There have been so many things on my list for so long, and I'm finally going to get to them. Unfortunately, I chose to do this little revitalization of my room and life during the worst week ever...
Monday is a standard Monday, but Tuesday I am volunteering with the assocation I've been working with since this summer... usually I work with them on Thursday, but I was attempting to make up lost time to do both days, now it's near impossible... Tuesday I have only one class, but this is the day I need to finish reading my 298 page book (of which I've read about 16) so I can start writing my 2500 word essay that is due on Wednesday.... yeah... Then Thursday I have a midterm, and another 1000 word essay due on Friday. I think I'm going to cry.
The good news, is that I'm going to lose a bit of weight. I'm not horribly overweight, and my mom doesn't think I need to lose any, but I want to... and don't worry folks, I'm not pushing myself to be a skinny minnie... I just want to get back down to 120... that's about 15 lighter than I am now, and I don't think that's unreasonable. I'm switching to more water, and as of a few hours ago, I'm back on pilates. :) I realized, I'll feel better if my body is in better shape.
As for the feeling ill: I'm working on the stomach aches, and have found a relationship to the soda I drink, so I'm going to have to go off sodas, which isn't THAT hard... I'm also working on my diet (Not A diet, just watching what I take in).. and for the allergies I am taking a benadryl before sleep every night. A new pillow is also helping things, so I am sleeping a bit better... actually had a nice, hard night of sleep last night... been missing that. :)
Also, it's nice enough to not have the AC on at night... and since I am HIGHLY allergic to mold (especially black mold) and my AC is filled with it since the units are incredibly old, and no amount of bleaching will kill it all... it's great to have natural air moving through the house. I haven't put on an AC in three days, and already I can see the improvement in my breathing.
The knee problem may have to be examined by a doctor, but I really hope not. I'm going to have to talk to my dance teacher more about that tmra... she thinks I should see a doctor because it is popping and doing things it shouldn't, but I really can't afford a doctor right now. *sigh* That'll have to wait...
And now, I'm off to bed. I could try to read more in my book, but I doubt it'll stink, and if I need to write such a large essay on it, I need to A: be rested and B: understand what I read. Please pray for me, if you don't mind...
I know that you're supposed to put on a little "winter weight," but I'd like to get in shape now, while I'm thinking about it, and really driven towards it. :) I'm also going to work more on my heart and soul. My new service at church has great lessons still.. but I don't like the new worship style, so I'm going to another service for worship and then back to mine for Word (they're in the same building at the same time)... also going to get back into my Bible. I've been so drained and rushed that I've neglected it. I need that back in my life.
The last week, and hitting an ultimate low has shown me I need to take care of some things... so... here I go!
