I’m on day 2 of NaBloPoMo. I bet you’re asking how yesterday counts, because you see no post, but I’ve decided to let my WWU post count since I wrote it yesterday. I didn’t want to have a blog entry up for a day and then have it overshadowed by my WWU post, so instead I’m counting that!

Today was laundry day. I bet you’re super excited. I did two loads of laundry, which is enough to get us through the week. I might do another load mid-week to get some of Matt’s tee-shirts washed and our towels, which I tend to put off until the very last minute because our dryers are HORRIBLE. I haven’t put the laundry away yet, but I intend to at some point. Probably when I’m done writing this!

Matt and I went out for lunch today at Kempster’s. It’s close by our home and super cheap (seriously, it barely costs more than fast food for real, good food!) so we like it a lot. Why wouldn’t we? I had Chicken Parmesan and a Greek salad, which I realize is a strange combination, but they’re two of my favourite foods so why not? Matt had a clubhouse. After lunch, we went over to Future Shop to pre-order Wrath. I’ll be there at the midnight release. Yes, I’m a nerd, but I don’t care. Why not?

Oh, I got another extension, finally. I’m legal for sure until August, when I have to apply for another extension. I’m not worried, though. Why worry? I’m here, I’ve applied, and now I just wait. I’m making the most of my time and am more than happy to just relax and figure out what I want to do after that PR card comes in the mail.

Can you believe it? This is my 650th post here at Words Unspoken. This blog has seen a lot of ups and downs, just like I have.

Lately I’ve not been in a blogging mood. I’m just in a… weird mood, I guess. That’s the only way to even remotely explain it. I’m dealing with my issues as they come, and trying to push myself past them. I got my extension, for those of you wondering, so I’m legal for a bit longer. Now I have to push my paperwork through and send it away in the next three months, which will be daunting and to be honest, I’m terrified, but it’s got to be done! One step at a time, I guess.

I’ve been doing a lot of fill-in puzzles lately. I bought a book a few days ago (a week ago, I guess?) and now I’m on page 47. I did one on the exercise bike yesterday at the gym, but that didn’t go over too well. Whoops!

Speaking of the gym, I walked there again today, even though I just went yesterday. Boy, were my legs mad at me for walking there! Halfway there I got to the point where I wanted to just sit down and send mental messages to Matt to come pick me up because my legs were burning so bad I didn’t think I’d make it. But I did! Turns out I got there early for the “party” thing they had going on today, so I had to do something. So, I hopped on a bike, biked a mile, then did a Body Flow class.

When I got to the class, one of the ladies that I always see in there approached me. We had our usual “Hi, how are you” greeting, and then she said something that really shocked me. “Boy, you’re really losing a lot of weight, aren’t you?” I was amazed. I haven’t lost a pound, and I told her so. She replied “Well, then you must be toning up, because you look smaller than when you first came in!” I told her that she had just made my month, and really, she did. That was the best thing for me to hear today when I’ve been feeling so helpless about my weight. As Stacy said, all my hard work is finally paying off in a real way. Thank goodness!

Speaking of Stacy, my bestest friend in the whole world (haha, did I give you a flashback to 5th grade there?), her birthday was today yesterday. Darn me not going bed until the next day. Anyway, I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, I hope it was fantastic! I know you didn’t get to do what you had hoped to do, since your guild is doing its… well, its thing, but I hope it was good anyway! ♥

Anyway, I have photos uploading on Flickr and have to pick out what we’re watching when we go to bed tonight. I’m thinking it’ll be The Other Sister followed by Season 1 of Scrubs, and then maybe House afterward, just so it doesn’t go blank in the middle of the night.

Goodnight everyone!

IT CAME! My extension came and they gave me a year! I’m now legal until February 19, 2008!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m SO HAPPY NOW!!!!!
