Summer Vacation Positivity!

So last time (a long, long time ago) I said I wasn't feeling like doing this. After that one, I stopped for a long time. I've actually been doing pretty well overall, and a lot of good things have happened, so I felt like celebrating that today. I am in the middle of a period of two weeks off, going back to work in a week (to a new awesome job!)

I am proud of:
  • getting the job I really wanted!
  • taking on a challenge at work and conquering it.
  • making progress with moving into a new house.
  • moving on from something that really wasn't doing me any good anymore, although it was bittersweet to actually say goodbye.
  • keeping up with the dishes at the new place (always a challenge for me!)

I enjoyed:
  • starting to live at the new place (a very nice house).
  • making devious plots in a game I play with awesome people (our favorite plot will go into action today and I'm excited about it!)
  • being silly with my boyfriend.
  • trips and visits with boyfriend and/or family.
  • re-reading The Hobbit in anticipation of the movie version.

I love:
  • bookshelves.
  • my boyfriend.
  • my kitty.
  • biiiiig windows. :D
  • cool people.
Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

I don't really feel like doing this lately. I'm not sure why. I'm not cured of negativity yet, so I should probably keep at it... =P

Part of the problem is that I got home very late last Sunday and didn't want to do it, and then was very busy through the week and didn't want to do it, and now that I broke my streak I have been tempted to use that as an excuse to stop for a while. But I shan't.

I am proud of:

  • keeping up with the dishes.
  • still keeping up with emails.
  • writing exams I'm proud of, if a little too close to the deadline for comfort.
  • grading said exams extremely quickly.
  • taking initiative to do a couple of things I have been putting off.

I enjoyed:
  • time spent with (and sometimes adjacent to) my boyfriend.
  • cuddling with the cat.
  • watching silly tv shows.
  • playing on my phone.
  • talking to friends.

I love:
  • my boyfriend.
  • online shopping.
  • language.
  • my cat.
  • comfy things like pillows and beds.
Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

I am actually starting this on Sunday night, as planned. I am already impressed, you should be too. =P


**Not finished until a few hours into Monday, but hey, still before I went to bed.

I am proud of:

  • keeping up with the dishes, even through baking adventures.
  • keeping up with emails again (it's more difficult than it sounds, and important).
  • beginning a "go through my crap and get rid of stuff" project.
  • making a pretty apple pie people enjoyed.
  • 79 days free of that negative influence I mentioned quitting a while back.

I enjoyed:
  • making apple pie.
  • time with adorable kids.
  • time with my favorite person.
  • having Friday off.
  • playing Words with Friends.

I love:
  • my boyfriend.
  • my kitty.
  • my new giant whiteboard compass.
  • teaching.
  • chocolate.
Take care, all. :)

Holiday Weekend Positivity

Yes, this is Tuesday, but as far as I'm concerned it's late Monday night, and I had Monday off so it's still the weekend. So there!

I am proud of:

  • keeping up with dishes relatively well.
  • making it through a first week of classes intact.
  • keeping up with emails so far.
  • adding things to my task list to keep myself on track with everything I need to do.
  • sticking with a "no kisses" policy that seems to have kept me from getting my boyfriend's illness, although it's been very difficult.

I enjoyed:
  • watching tv and cuddling.
  • having four days off.
  • finishing the main quest in Skyrim (bittersweet though).
  • receiving a new GREEN chair in the mail.
  • making and eating brownies.

I love:
  • my boyfriend.
  • chocolate.
  • days off.
  • my cat, even with her tendency to snuggle when she's done something bad.
  • my awesome electric kettle, and tea.
Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

I missed two weeks this time. One of them was xmas so I can hardly be blamed for that, and the other I was far away from home visiting family, so I didn't really feel like posting. I won't feel guilty about it, as long as it doesn't keep me from getting back into the habit...so back to it now!

I am proud of:

  • exercising.
  • doing laundry.
  • cleaning out my closet of things I don't wear.
  • staying relatively calm when I almost wrecked my second cheesecake, and asking for help.
  • keeping up with the dishes.

I enjoyed:
  • time with family.
  • wii.
  • finishing Night Watch. <3
  • listening to my new car stereo on my loooong car trips.
  • making a cheesecake with a candy cane on it:



I love:
  • my new electric kettle.
  • my boyfriend.
  • my cat.
  • my bed.
  • being home, the place where all those other wonderful things I love are conveniently gathered!
Take care, all! :)
