So I honestly thought that I would be able to handle a few months or at least a couple off of school. Um, I think I was wrong. Although lately the nightmares have been kicking my ass and sleep has been little and far between. Eh, you know, I am thinking it does not matter all that much anymore.
I am constantly tired anyway, so nothing new there. I am missing living on the water right about now. I miss the amazing sunsets you get as the sun sinks down below the horizon almost like it is slowly sliding into the water.
Hopefully I will sleep tonight. Never know though. LOL. Well, this is short and I am out of things to say, so Ciao!
You know, lately I have not been sleeping really well and having all kinds of nightmares again. Last night I went to bed or should I say this morning and slept until about 3pm. I guess I finally got to the point that I was so tired that no dream would wake me up. Sadly, it is happening a lot lately again. Sigh.
So, I have been really tired all the time. Nothing new really, because I have been having these nightmares since I was 16. So, nothing new but still really annoying though. Other than that I am okay I guess.
Last night I had Chinese for dinner and it was really good! I had not had Chinese in a while and it hit the spot. I love the beef and broccoli at the place I go. Yum! I think I am going to have my bruschetta pizza today for lunch, it really is very good for a frozen pizza.
I sure could use a massage right now. My back and neck are both hurting really badly. Well, I am going to run.. Ciao!
When I chose this book, it was not because I actually wanted to read it, it was because it was the only one left on the site for me to choose. I honestly thought that it would turn out like another book I had tried to read and ended up failing to finish. In fact, quite the opposite happened.
I got my book a couple of days ago and set it aside, thinking I would start it the next day and well, life happened. I picked it up again last night because I needed something to read while I sat in the tub trying to relax. As it turns out, I read pretty much the whole dang book last night in the tub within an hour and a half. A totally unexpected occurrence, let me tell you!
As I read Kristen’s real life story, I could not put this book down. As a woman who suffered some depression in high school, I could totally relate to what Kristen was talking about. Although, I did not suffer as much loss as she did in such a short period of time, I too lost a grandparent while I was in high school. I never had the courage to actually try to commit suicide though.
As I read Kristen’s story I was moved to tears and I wanted to cheer for her as she learned some valuable lessons, which came at a heavy price. You see, I have a friend who talks about suicide a lot and I interrupted him as he was writing a suicide note (email). I am passing along Kristen’s book in hopes of showing him that there really is a way to come back from this and hopefully give him the courage to live.
Kristen writes the reader little notes between the chapters and talks about how she wished she knew some things then that she knows now. This is such an inspiring book, I am finding myself wanting everyone I know to read it. Kristen is an amazing woman and so inspiring! I find myself wishing I was half as strong as she is. I recommend this book to everyone, because it has something for everyone in it.
You know, the hardest thing about being done with school until October is that now I have all this flippin’ time to deal with!! What to do, what to do?!?! I have already had a request for oatmeal raisin cookies and since I am on vacation as it were, I can’t exactly say no. LOL. So, cookies it is. I was thinking also of maybe working on my pizza recipe. It was good the first time I made it, but I think it can be better.
I know that my Netflix account will get a work out for sure!! Other than that, I am not sure what I will be doing for a few months. Although the people I have mentioned this vacation to have all said the same things, at least I know what is going on with school and I can actually relax during this time and enjoy the time off and recharge my batteries. Barring like a week or two off, I have been going to school non stop for something like 3 1/2 years. So, yes, having thought about this, I do deserve this time off.
People are starting to ask what I want for my birthday already. Um, I have no clue aside from my new NCIS season and some other shows I collect. Even as a kid, I never really asked for much because I always knew we did not have much money. That is who just who I am. I still don’t ask for stuff. It takes a lot for me to ask for ANYTHING. Like under the penalty of death or I don’t have any other choice.
So, as for my birthday, I don’t know yet. I don’t really make lists for that kind of stuff. LOL. Well, I am going to run, got Netflix to watch!! Ciao!
I was supposed to start school June 28th, but because some of my financial aid has been used for Ashford, for my first term there, I am in a overlapping loan period, basically that means that if I went back to school now, I would not have enough to cover my first term and I would have to pay out of pocket. Since I can not afford that, I have to wait now until September when the new loan period starts. So, the first start date at school will be October 11th. So, that is when I will be returning to school.
I thought about this and it is not so bad. I have a nice chunk of time to relax and get some stuff taken care of. I am not worried about what will happen with school, so I can really enjoy my time off now. I am still enrolled in school, so my loans will not lapse into collections either. It is just one of those things. Now, I am not in a time crunch with the tax return either. So, maybe this is a blessing in disguise.
For some reason this week is really just flying past me! Hopefully only 6 more days until I am back in class. I can not explain how much I am really looking forward to that! I am so excited and ready to go! Even if my first two classes are ‘beginners’ classes. In these classes, they are get acquainted with the interface and how things work classes. Basically I look at these classes as free A classes. That way I can prop up my GPA before the hard classes begin.
I am tired still. I did sleep well and I will probably take a nap later. Tonight is a night I am making dinner. We are having cheeseburgers and the green beans I have to use before they go bad. Not really sure what else we will have with this yet. I am enjoying the peace and quiet that I have right now. It is nice. Well, I am going to go. Ciao!
I was up all night last night because I had slept like 15 hours yesterday. Now I am all tired and ready to go to freakin’ sleep now. As for the tax thing, I feel like a total idiot for not thinking about sending that to the desk top. I know I had it printed and I can not find that right now. With moving last September and packing, it honestly could be anywhere. Ugh.
So, now I am stuck waiting for the IRS to help me. Joy. I got my book for blogging for books today and I will start reading it tomorrow. I have yet to hear if the tax thing will delay my start date or not now. Which is in like 7 days. I hope not. But you never can tell with these things really.
I might look later or tomorrow in a file container I have, maybe it might be in there. I am hoping so. It looks to be getting ready to storm here now. I have some fresh green beans that were bought on Sunday, so I have to use them tomorrow. I am making my garlic-butter bacon green beans for dinner tomorrow. I am looking forward to those though. I love them.
Just thinking about them is making my mouth water. Yum! Well, gonna run. Ciao!
