I was talking to my dad about my blog yesterday and he mentioned that he has been somewhat surprised that I don’t talk more about some of the questions I’m dealing with (re: growing up and figuring out my purpose as a working adult.) I know I’ve been bad about blogging directly about the act of ‘taking back my twenties’, but to be honest with you, it’s because I don’t feel like I’ve made a whole lot of progress (at…

Babysitting
The extra 45 minutes of sleep really made a difference today…or maybe it was the split second I fell asleep while babysitting this afternoon….oops. Either way, I made a lot of progress on a report and felt energized. I had to babysat a little later than usual today so I packed this guy as an early dinner/snack. But when Jon’s mom arrived home with a large pizza, I decided the pb and jelly could be saved for tomorrow:) I also…
Despite having to ‘work’ today, it was a really relaxing day. For starters, the weather was awesome. A nice day for a stroll… to the museum of science! It was fun to just walk around the museum, check out exhibits, and spend some time with the little guy (this is the one from the summer, not Jon). We also packed a lunch and had sandwiches in the cafeteria, which was an interesting place for people-watching. After babysitting, I got a…
I put in a full day at my internship and then babysat for 9 hours after that. I’m looking forward to the days when working as a school psychologist and earning money are one in the same. Despite the long day, I got to eat three glorious pieces of Upper Crust pizza and some awesome pumpkin bread (my first re-introduction of soybean oil, which made my stomach hurt, obv.), as well as watch 2 straight hours of cable TV, during…
Howdy blog world, I had a busy busy day at the ‘ole internship, which left me feeling a little drained this evening. The good news? I don’t have a food allergy!!!!!!! I really didn’t think I had one given that I don’t have any immune-system related symptoms, but I’m still so relieved. I do plan to stay away from scary artificial soy products and soybean oil, but soy lecithin (aka, chocolate) will be back in my life. The bad news…
Hiya, Pancake Tuesday got moved to Thursday this week due to the late night on Monday. I had completely forgotten about them, but Matt was busy in the kitchen when I got up:) These were extra special because there were chocolate chips hiding under that peanut butter. What a fabulous way to start the day. Today flew by because I left school to attend a fascinating lunch lecture on food addiction at the local community health center. I was surprised to…
I was in a surprisingly good mood today…I think I’m starting to get very excited about my visitors this weekend! There’s nothing too exciting to report from my internship, but I did take Jon to soccer today. I can’t believe how quickly the scenery changed from this: To this: The sky is gloomy, the leaves are changing, and there are far less kiddos on the playground. I was huddled in my coat on the bleachers and was frozen after an…
Well Hello. I’ve been doing a lot of fun stuff lately, but today was just a typical day. I think I’m a bit burnt out because headaches are becoming a regular part of my routine. I’m wondering if I’m grinding my teeth at night again? The only experiment I can think of to test this hypothesis is to pop in the old retainer for the next couple of nights and see if there’s any difference… Basking in fall weather is…
Amigos, something is still brewing in the sinus area and I was shivering all day because of the pouring rain. I considered leaving work early, but really didn’t have that option because of babysitting. And, I think part of being an adult is realizing that you can’t just skip work because of a looming sickness. Plus, I’ll take a cold over a stomach ache any day. Speaking of stomach, fish and potatoes was the most unappetizing idea for dinner, but…
