Well… I tried…. But NaBloPoMo wasn’t a full out success for me. I missed one day. I think I did ok though considering I can hardly get myself to blog anymore. The end of NaBloPoMo marks the end of November. Here comes December. I had wanted to have some sort of decorating done to my room before December 1st but it’s not happening. I have a little tree, ornaments, lights,and a couple other things. But I’m lacking in the motivation department. My goal is to have my room picked up a bit and stuff put up by this weekend. I’m trying to get in the holiday spirit. Doing this alone isn’t fun and it’s not easy.
It’s too easy to fall into the depression side of the holidays but I’m trying my best to NOT go there. I still have some hope that maybe a Christmas miracle will happen… or maybe someone special is out there waiting for me… maybe I’ve already met her….. We’ll see…. for now I just take one moment at a time and focus on being thankful and hopeful. Tis the season… the holidays are officially here.

Well, I’m back home. Had to take a later train because we were running a bit late. So we killed some time over by the train station. I love Togo’s asian chicken salad. That’s what I had for lunch. YUM! We hung out for a bit..chatted and laughed..then it was time to board the train. I wanted to be in the car where the cafe is so that I could have a snack if I wanted one. How awesome is that! I sat in the lounge area on the train and could literally walk right over to the snack area, pick out what I want (pay for it of course) then walk back to my table and totally relax with a snack. Now that’s the way to travel! I do enjoy taking the train and I’m glad to know it’s so easy to take Amtrak. But now I’m home and the 4 day weekend is just about over. I’m going to savor the last few hours of course. I was happy to be home though. I came in and my roommate gave me a big hug. It felt good to be home. As much as I loved getting away from SD for a few days and definitely want to do that again. I practically ran upstairs to see my cats. They made a bit of a mess in here which I still need to clean up. But I was happy to see them. Love my little fur balls <3 Now I’m just relaxing for a bit and contemplating cleaning up a bit and putting up my little tree. I have to buy some more stuff for it though.. and I’m kinda wanting a bigger one. But.. I’ll make the little 2 foot one I bought work. I’m trying real hard to get into this whole holiday thing. I was invited back up to Jenn’s for Christmas. Haven’t decided if I will go or not. I wouldn’t want to impose on her and her boyfriend’s Christmas. So we’ll see. I will work on my room a bit and try to make it look nice.
Work tomorrow… eewwwwwwwwwww………

Dear sugar levels,

I realize I’ve not been taking the best care of you lately, but seriously… get leveled already! It’s no fun feeling icky and blech because of having such low sugar levels. I’m eating turkey and popping fudge like no one’s business and hoping to feel human soon. Thanks!

Meanwhile… I had planned on going home today but neglected to double check the coaster schedule. Good thing I checked it because the last coaster left Oceanside much earlier than I realized. So.. I’ll be heading home via Amtrak train tomorrow morning. I would’ve been stuck in Oceanside w/ no phone to call anyway. So… it was a bit of a panic attack for me but everything will be fine. Hopefully my cats are ok and haven’t eaten all of their food. I’ll get home tomorrow afternoon and will have to focus on getting a LOT done before ew I don’t even want to think about the work week.

We went to the mall today. I tried gelato for the first time. YUM! I got a free piece of candy from Godiva. Very yum. Now I’m just waiting for my sugar levels to balance out and feeling very wonky for a bit.

…..cricket chirp….

4 day weekends are nice. I have no sense of what day of week it is at this point. It feels like tomorrow should be Monday. I’m glad it’s not! Not posting enough to really count this as a real blog entry. But it’ll have to do for now!

Wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. I dunno about you but I am stuffed!! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, apple pie.. oh my! I think I’ll sleep good tonight

I forgot to post last night

I’m out of town visiting a friend for Thanksgiving.

Hope you have a very wonderful Thanksgiving!

Well.. My entries haven’t been very exciting but so far I’ve managed to post every day in November. I find myself running out or time or forgetting to post til it’s…. the time it is right now. After 10pm. Time to wind down and get ready for sleep. Two more work days to go til the holiday weekend. Wednesday afternoon after work I’ll take the Coaster and Metrolink (trains) up to my friend’s house for Thanksgiving. It’ll be great to get away for a couple days. Tomorrow night I have to get my stuff ready and make sure the cats have enough food for a couple days. I’m sure my roommate will be able to check on the furkids but I want to make sure they have everything they need. I may not get to post while I’m gone but I’m gonna try to. I’d hate to be SO close to making it through the entire month of posting to have a day or two mess me up.

Yep….

That was the highlight of my Sunday. I woke up rather early… stayed up for a bit…then dosed off throughout the rest of the day. I’ve been up for about an hour or two so far tonight. It’s almost time to take meds and hope I go right back to sleep. I planned on being productive today but that just didn’t happen. I guess I needed a day to rest. I wish I would’ve gotten something done though. At least it’s only a 3 day work week this week because Thanksgiving is Thursday. I’m taking a train up to my friend’s house for a couple nights. I’m looking forward to it What are your plans? I am sad that I don’t get to go home but at least I’ll have someone to spend it with.

I haven’t been able to eat much in almost a week. It’s really annoying especially when you love food but can’t even enjoy it. However, I went out to eat tonight w/ my roommate and her sister. It great to be able to enjoy food again. Finally! I ate all kinds of different things. My favorite was the fried doughnuts. Asian donuts are always so good. I left feeling satisfied but very tired. I feel like I could crash right now. I hate how sleepy and drugged up my medicine makes me. Last night taking it then I’m done. Then I can start feeling human again.

The weekend is here and I am very happy about that. It’s been a long busy work week/trying to recover and feel normal again. I’m spending my Friday night in my room with a candle lit and a dvd playing. I so live the adventurous life. HA. I have no plans for the weekend. I really need to clean my room and do some laundry. Maybe if I bribe myself with a reward of some kind it’ll get done. Otherwise I foresee a very uneventful but restful weekend. Do you have anything fun planned? Do tell so I can live vicariously through you.
