I’m such a night owl. I like to stay up late and sleep in. I feel more productive when it’s dark out than when it’s light out. I feel better emotionally with the sun on me, but I feel more productive in the dark. I don’t know why that is, but that’s okay!
I did a DITL today. I’ll be posting that on my Flickr later. I ended it in an awkward way but the day was technically over! I’m trying to get up the motivation or something to go finish the dishes and get them drying, and put the laundry away, and get the loads ready to do tomorrow. I’ve decided to forgo the gym in favour of a day for myself. I’ve been sick for a week now and I figure starting with a clean slate on Monday will make me feel good. So instead of the gym, I’m dedicating tomorrow to questing in WoW and cleaning.
Speaking of WoW, we killed Void Reaver again tonight. It’s been a long time since we were killing him what with all the changes in guilds and groups and things. We figured after Gruul it’d be a nice way to bring home some loot. All that raid attendance over the past few months has paid off, as I now have my angel wings! That’s right, T5 shoulders at last! I am now a dark angel, in a way. Hooray!
I’ve been posting tons at Midnight. I love it, especially after it was just redone. It looks and functions better and it feels so good to have a clean slate there! Go join it if you haven’t already! It’s a great board with awesome members and we’re always looking for new friends! Because of spam-bots, I’ve had to enable moderated registration, so I have to manually approve new members, but I’m very quick at approving people, so don’t let that scare you off!
I’m doing a “Day in the Life” today. I haven’t done one in a while, so I’m doing one!
Last night I dreamed about shopping at the dollar store and buying a Talbuk mount. Who knows what goes on in this head of mine sometimes? Not me, for sure.
Anyway, must get up and start getting ready. I am braving the gym today, even though I still feel awful!
I’m slowly feeling better. Every time I think I’m better, something else hits and I feel like crap again. But even while feeling sick as a dog lately, I’ve managed to get a few things around the house done, and we’ve been eating homemade food every night for supper. I’m determined to go to the gym tomorrow!
Is it just me, or is there a huge lack of respect these days? For each other, for our “elders”, for ourselves… I find that nothing is sacred or special anymore. Teenagers disrespect their elders and authority figures more often than they brush their teeth. Women put their bodies and their sex lives out in the open - both on and off the internet. People air their dirty laundry for perfect strangers to read/hear and know all about. I just feel like between the lack of privacy, the lack of self-respect and the lack of respect for others, society is a mess. I’m hooked on older movies and TV shows because everything seems so happy and simple. I talked to my grandma the other day, and she’s coming on 75 (but don’t tell her I told anyone!) and we talked about what it was like when she was younger. She said life was much simpler then.
One thing in particular that I’ve been watching a lot of is I Love Lucy. I know the show is very situational, but the idea behind it is very much what it was like when the show was being aired. I love every little thing about it, too. It’s cheered me up watching it and helped me feel more secure in myself. I love the respect for others - they say “excuse me” and “please” and even Lucy answers to Ricky with “Yes sir” at times. I’m not saying women have to be subservient peons in a marriage or be too reserved for their own good, but what’s wrong with a bit of modesty now and again?
I think I’ll end that rant there, though. I could say so much more but I’m not sure it’s right to go into it. Instead, I’ll talk about my past few days. I’ve been pretty sick. I got on Vent the other day to do an instance with some friends and the first thing they said when I said “Hi” was “Wow, you don’t sound too good” - and they were right. I felt awful. I skipped the gym today (Well, yesterday, since it’s now after 4 on Saturday…) to get some rest. I won’t be able to go tomorrow (Today?) because of the snow, but I’m not beating myself up. One of the things I talked to the trainer about was the way I treat myself. I don’t give myself a lot of slack a lot of the time. I might not post about it or tell anyone about it but I beat myself up over everything. I need to step outside myself and treat myself like I would treat a patient, or a friend, or a client. I wouldn’t beat up on someone else for taking a break when they weren’t feeling well, so why should I beat myself up? I think I’m finally starting to sort through my emotional mess now. With the help of a few good friends, I’m finally coming together again!
Tomorrow I have a fairly simple to-do list, but it’s stuff I’ve been wanting to do while I’ve been sick. I hope I’m feeling up to doing them, or at least some of them.
- Put clean laundry away.
- Wash, dry and put away two loads of laundry.
- Get food out for supper, and obviously cook it when it comes time to.
- Upload my 365 photos and any others from the last week - I’ve been a bit behind on uploading them even though I’ve taken them.
- Clear memory card. One of the downfalls of having a huge memory card is the fact that I can hold SO many pictures on it that I get lazy and don’t empty it often enough.
- Put dishes away and wash any from the day.
- Karazhan/ZA/whatever my raid group for the night decides to do. I think we may try to go into Molten Core (haha) again at some point too, since the server kept crashing today.
Midnight is open again! With new features and a new look, it’s the perfect fresh start for the board!
Everyone who has already registered has now been approved and can go and post their introductions. If you haven’t registered, now is the time to do so!
I look forward to seeing you all there!
