Randomness

In hopes to get over my blog block (similar to writer's block, but I'm not a writer), I figured I could throw out a few random things that have been happening lately.

- I cleaned a little this weekend. I had quite a few boxes in the living room that were taking up space and really needed to be organized, and I guess I finally got tired of looking at them. There are still boxes here and most of the stuff in the boxes I went through has simply been distributed around the house, but I feel a lot better about it.

- My mom was in really good spirits tonight. She's been in good spirits for a while but I feel like it was especially good tonight. She's home, still having a rough time, and she has to go back to the hospital soon, but she so strong it's crazy.

- I think I've taken out my camera twice in the last month? How sad is that? I really haven't had the time. Or the desire. Or any gigs because I told all of my word-of-mouth people that I was taking a break. It bums me out but I really needed to let it go for a little while - it just became too much to deal with. I hate to admit it, but I might not be able to pick it up again until Mom is well. And she WILL get well.

- I bought two pairs of shoes today, thanks to my mom's awesome birthday gift and some cash that I had gotten for Christmas/birthday. They're both walking shoes so I'm excited to get back into walking every night. I'm no triathlete or anything, but walking is good for me ;-)

- This was a pretty good three day weekend. But I need more. And more and more and more. Ugh.

- Netflix instant streaming video is AWESOME. Paired with my iPad it's the best way to spend time on a treadmill. I need to keep track of my workouts better, now that I'm trying to be more consistent again.

- I got three letters from my soldier who recently returned to Afghanistan. He wrote them over a two week span and mailed them separately but they all showed up on the same day. Crazy! I'm so lucky to have a soldier who has time to write back. I need to write him more often though.

- I went all last week without crying. SUCCESS

- I'm going to call an eye doctor this week. This double vision thing while reading is really getting annoying and I would like to avoid my 2:30pm headache. I will likely come out of that appointment with glasses. Yay.

I think that's about it. Maybe that gave you a small update? My mind, my environment, and my emotions are a total mess. Forgive the randomness, please.
