DAY ONE OF THE REST OF MY LIFE.

Did I set myself up to write in this every day? Do I really have to keep that promise to myself? I'm actually quite tired, a little sleepy, and overall not feeling too well, so I just want to stay in bed and sleep, especially since I have tomorrow off from work.
But I did set myself up to write something every day, and it's not like its hard. I could even take the laptop to bed and write in comfort instead of from my desk. But I like to make my life complicated, so I am sitting at my desk. And I'm cold.
Ok, it is the first day of the new year. What has happened? Nothing. Like I said, I'm tired, cold (didn't mention that one?), sleepy, and thanks to being a girl, I have horrible cramps, which many co-workers mistook as being hungover.  If only. I think I would welcome a hangover to the terrible pain of period cramp. I know, too much information. Somewhere in here, this is the argument to erase the stigma of a woman's menstrual cycle, but again, I'm tired, cold, sleepy, etc., etc., etc.
Back on track. I went to work. I had fun (because in all seriousness, I am actually having a lot of fun at work. I work with a great group of people for a company that recognizes and appreciates its employees. Yay!) despite the pain, and now am wondering if 10 PM is too early to go to sleep. It probably isn't, most might think it late...
Maybe I need to start going to bed earlier. It would make for getting up and going to gym early be an easier thing to do.
OK, It's settled, I'm going to attempt to be in bed at this time. Oh, you know what is going to help like crazy? The fact I no longer watch TV!!! Since my favorite show was canceled (Castle, I love.. loved ABC's Castle. I need to write a post about that, it's intense hehe), I no longer watch anything at it's regular air time. For example, Supergirl- I tend to catch this show during the week at my convenience, and Grey's Anatomy- I'm completely behind this season. Oops. So with the lack of TV to watch at a particular time slot, I can make sure to sleep early and get more that 6 hours of sleep.
Now it's just a matter of getting off my phone. I've been binge-listening to a couple of podcasts lately while playing mindless puzzle games on my phone (my phone hates me for this btw). And I can easily get sucked into a 40-minute podcast and not realize it's 1 AM, and that I should probably have gone to sleep 3 hours prior.
So yeah... time to disconnect?
There are so many things I want to do this year regarding adjusting to life and learning to like the person I am, and while I could just go out and do crazy things until I find something I like, I think I'll take this approach to life. Make promises to myself to be better, learn to relax and take care of myself, and everything else should fall into place? Let's hope that this is how it works.
Classes start soon, and if I don't have the basics in line, then things are about to get incredibly overwhelming. Also, I'm about to turn 31; you'd think at this point in my life, I would have already gotten this shit together. But hilariously, life never goes the way you plan, and while I'm still in the planning stages (replanning? restarting the replanning? rebooting the original plan?) you'd think I would have learned from those previous mistakes.
Well here goes.

Oh look at that! I flew past the 500 work count. And also want to quickly say that everyone should go see "La La Land" it was incredible.
Ok, time for bed.

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
