Weekend Positivity

Absurdly busy in a different way this time...I only worked one day this week but there was a ton of stuff to do anyway, between grading, cleaning, and Thanksgiving. I am a day late, but I'm going to use Monday-Sunday as usual and save today's stuff for next weekend's post if I need it.

I am proud of:

  • getting the remaining exams from the previous week graded early.
  • keeping up with the online course again, doing the majority of the work early.
  • giving the whole apartment a proper cleaning.
  • refraining from playing Skyrim until I had proper time for it.
  • clearing up a frustrating misunderstanding without getting too panicky over it (I borrowed my boyfriend's rational thinking a little bit to do so).

I enjoyed:
  • getting $14 cute low-heeled pumps that fit (I have been looking for something like this for a year or more, so yay).
  • putting 7 hours into Skyrim when I finally had a day to myself.
  • time with family people.
  • time off and time to myself.
  • waking up without alarms for several days in a row.

I love:
  • my boyfriend.
  • Skyrimmmmmm.
  • my wonderful kitty.
  • Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry (for $2.50/12-pack :D)
  • sleep.
Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

This week has been absurdly busy, but I am still managing to post this.

I am proud of:
  • getting yet more homework grading done on time, when I had an excuse I could have used to avoid it.
  • copying all four exams this week a day ahead of time.
  • getting exams graded on time or early...two more to go, I hope to finish tomorrow (which would be very early).
  • keeping up with the online class despite the hectic week of four exams.
  • staying away from the negative influence again, despite being very tempted not to.

I enjoyed:
  • socializing.
  • teaching cool topics.
  • dinners out.
  • winning a difficult game of Words with Friends.
  • watching The Sing Off and being silly.

I love:
  • my cat.
  • Fresca.
  • Elder Scrolls games, although I am waiting to really play this one.
  • the prospect of time off this week!
  • my boyfriend.
Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

Here we go again. I am even starting this prior to midnight, go me! (Finishing prior to midnight is, of course, a different story).

I am proud of:


  • getting a bunch of grading done on time.
  • keeping up with the class I'm taking (full credit so far).
  • writing an exam early.
  • doing the dishes.
  • staying away from the aforementioned negative influence for a full week (and counting).

I enjoyed:
  • playing with my nutso kitty.
  • watching tv shows (good, bad, and mediocre).
  • ticklish silliness.
  • dinner out at a burger place.
  • nice weekend sleep.

I love:
  • my boyfriend.
  • fall weather.
  • sleep.
  • my cat.
  • music.
Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

Hey, look, second week in a row! It is bedtime, but I'm getting this done first.

I am proud of:

  • sticking with the mix-my-meals-up idea (this time it was just a different side item, but it's still different).
  • continuing to keep my room relatively clean.
  • keeping up with the dishes fairly well again (I've been making it a point to do them weekly at least).
  • making a decision to spend some time away from unhealthy influences.
  • inquiring about a class I wanted to take and when offered the opportunity to take it immediately, accepting!

I enjoyed:
  • hugs.
  • getting slung over a shoulder for what I think was the first time ever (in my adult life).
  • Halloween, although we only got two trick-or-treaters, and they came together...
  • playing with my cat.
  • reading/finishing another book! Night Watch is up next. I hear it is quite good.

I love:
  • life.
  • my boyfriend.
  • my cat.
  • bed.
  • my glasses, oddly enough. I was scared to get any at first but after 6 months I can honestly say I have grown to love them.
Take care, all. :)
