Everyone is just getting Yule cards this year :P I put me & Rob in serious financial problems when I went to steady-extra, but I don't regret one moment of not working. I got 3 B's & an A this semester, so the extra time paid off. Collection companies are calling, all the cards are overlimit, and I don't really give a flying fuck-all. I am wondering exactly how I'm going to cover the three textbooks I'll need next semester. Probably have to borrow from the m.i.l., or actually be diligent about calling work every day & actually going to work. Do not want! LoL.
I just wish having this extra time to myself would also give me some motivation and energy and drive. I just don't want to do anything. Don't want to make out the Yule cards. Don't want to put in applications w/the County. Barely want to do laundry. But, I've brought about 10 alts on other servers up to lvl 10 so they can partake of the Winter's Veil festivities. And I've made a lot of gold farming eggs. Wish it was that easy in real life. Run around, kill some dragon hawk hatchlings, auction off the eggs... I did buy some liquid starch & pick up some free newspapers - that whole papier mache mask idea, but that's as far as I got with it.
I think I've internalized a decision, too. I like my belly, I have no animosity towards it. I'm changing my diet - not dieting. I'm exercising for my knees and my heart, not to lose weight. There's no evidence that losing weight actually cures any chronic syndrome or lengthens a person's lifespan. This past year I have lost some weight, and put some back on, so my net loss was 5 lbs. Wow. 11 months of denial to lose 5 lbs. I haven't changed, I am not more motivated by that 5 lbs. to lose any more, my health hasn't changed except for finding out a majority of my aches & pains were directly related to a deficiency. Most of this was related to a coupla articles in this month's Utne Reader, a great source of inspiration for me.
For now, it's back to WoW. I do work the next two nights, & I'm covering audit for the end of the year, which means nice holiday OT for me, it being my birfday an' all. ;)
Still no sign of the balloon.
