One of THOSE Days...

For some reason I'm feeling incredibly blah right now.  I'm tired, unmotivated, can't be bothered making small talk, just want to crawl into my bed and sleep for the rest of the week.  I wake up in the morning, already looking forward to going to bed at night.  I watch the clock at work, willing it to be 2pm already.  I see nobody except those I have to see as I go about my daily routine - ie. work mates and my parents.  I don't go out.  I feel like I haven't laughed in forever.  People pick pathetic fights with me (I swear, I don't ask for it.  It just seems to happen a fair amount... I don't think I'm that controversial am I?) and it feels like they are massive and are going to take over my life.

The weird thing is, I can't actually pinpoint why.  A few separate issues I've already resolved.  I already worked out that my lips were chapped and dry cos I didn't drink as much water over the hols as I should have.  I worked out that I had a stomach ache from ice cream.  But this one stumps me.  This one's in my head.

If I can't work out the cause, how can I fix it?

It might have something to do with all the changes right now... starting university, moving to another town (further away from uni than I already am!), my mum quitting her job...

I think I'll just try and sleep this one off.

Goodnight.

Time for Change...Already?

So we're just into a new year, and suddenly my world is being turned upside down.

I mean, I knew going to university would do that, but throw in moving-house-to-the-other-side-of-the-huge-hills-for-an-extra-15-mins-on-my-commute-to-uni change, and the world spins.

Granted, the houses are way cheaper over there (we're getting a house that is possibly bigger than our current one, for about half the price!), and my parents can afford to live on that side of the hill... but commuting will be such a pain... a whole HOUR instead of 45 mins haha.  But way more expensive, instead of $196 for a month pass, it's going to be $312 *gulp*

But looking at the positives....
- amazing weather over there
- big section for our cats to play on
- there are swings in the courtyard
- huge garage
- loads of parking at the house
- like 15 min walk to train station (instead of 10 min drive where we currently live)
- the house has brand new carpet!
- the house is so big I get my own office! :O  Super!!  It has built in shelves too! :D  SCORE!
- I'm allowed to paint myself a feature wall in my bedroom
- it's a small, cute country town
- we will still have a spare room


Okay, so a few negatives....
- far away from uni
- killing my social life before I even have a chance to get one... :/
- a pain cos there's only 2 train services a day at the weekends
- the house's kitchen is scunge, but we're going to do it up once we move in
- the main shower is tiny...like you bend over and your bum hits the cold aluminium shower side.... eeep (better have that fixed BEFORE winter!) - we're putting a new shower in tho.
- hard to get decent internet, and there are no companies that monitor house alarms over there


...


can't think of any other negatives right now.  But I'm slowly warming to the idea...I suppose.  Reluctantly so...


I'll keep you posted.  Right now I'm thinking about what colours I can paint my feature wall... :D

 (SIDENOTE): I've been dreaming of earthquakes the last two nights... I looked it up in the dream dictionary... interesting:

Earthquake
To dream of an earthquake, suggests that you are experiencing a major "shake-up" that is threatening your stability and foundation. The dream highlights your insecurity, fears and sense of helplessness. Is there something in your life that you feel at "fault" for? If you find cover from the quake, you will overcome these challenges. If you become trapped or injured during the quake, you will suffer some sort of loss in your life.

I'd Wear That.

I'm having an "I'd Wear That" moment... where I'm dwelling on how well I would have fit in in the 1940s/50s/60s in terms of fashion had I been around in that era.  I mean seriously, this fashion is coming back now, as "vintage", I'm in my element!!  So I thought I'd try and find some outfits from way back when, to show you what I mean. :)

Ok so I couldn't find a photo of exactly what I like, but these are pretty good! :)

Thoughts?

It's THAT Time of Year.

Yes.  I'm going to do this.  Really really.

You see, normally, I make resloutions (ugh yes that dreaded word!) at the start of the year, and don't stick to them.  But I never tell anyone what they are, so that way, I only disappoint myself.  

However, this year I'm game for something a little different.  After all, it is a year of new challenges (see http://keepingthemindatplay.blogspot.com/ for my other new venture with a lovely friend of mine! It's super exciting and cool, I promise. To us, anyway. :D ) so I'm going to publicly list my resolutions.

1. Get my health under control - ie go into remission with my illness - which involves being responsible for myself, taking my pills like I'm supposed to, and eating good things.

2. Achieve a reasonable level of fitness, and in the process, lose enough to look like I did when I came back from USA last year, when I was a size 10ish (NZ size)... I'd be stoked with fitting size 8 too!  :)  (Currently I'm size 14... ugh)

3. Maintain a B grade average at university so that I'm eligible for a university exchange in 2012 to USA (hopefully!!!)

4. Don't get into debt anymore than I have to.  Student loan is a must, but no more credit card use!

That's all I can think of for now, but that's enough to keep myself busy! :)  

What are your resolutions for 2011?
