Two days in a row?! Woo Hoo!

 so i know i dont have to blog every day. but it is nice to do this for two days in a row and not every three  months. with that being said....im up and almost 12:30 am. not a time i want to be up. 


I came home after 5 eat a snack of green yummy juicy sweet grapes, a protein shake that pretty much tastes like a chocolate milk shake, cauliflower nacho flavored chips I'm obsessed with from Aldi's and  watched glow up on Netflix that I started last night. its a makeup artists (MUA) competition show set somewhere in England. I got really tired so I paused the tv and went to bed. I fell asleep for a bit and when I woke up even though I was very glad that I got some rest, I was annoyed that it cut into my chore time. 


oh well. so I proceeded to do my chores which included using my citrus juicer to squeeze my lemons to freeze them in ice trays for teas and my kale smoothies and cut and freeze some ginger for my strawberry/banana smoothies.


so that was done! good. progress. I didn't do dishes which is a habit I try and do every night. but because of my little impromptu nap I just couldn't swing it. instead I made a small snacky dinner of grapes and a kale/lemon juice/blueberries smoothie and retreated to my room. I watched a few YouTube vides self improvement one of which was with Mark Manson. meanwhile I was doing my coloring exercise which I really got into. I thought to my self that I should blog afterwards. and so that's how I got here! before I go to bed I would like to do my tai chi evening module, stretch and meditate but after a nice much needed shower after such a hot sweaty day


 my gym workout was very hard today. I felt very fatigued and I even at one point got dizzy. I'm so glad I went and I plan on going tomorrow. I like to get my gym bag ready in the evening the day before to avoid stress, but its late and I'm trying to wind down. 


after the gym i went to the good old Evanston public library. I borrowed one of there study rooms to make some phone calls with some questions and concerns I had with my phone company and this mail I got about a government stimulus check that I'm supposed to get. I hate dealing with "businessy" stuff like that. but I did it.


meanwhile it is getting later and later and i still have things I would like to do before laying down in bed. I'm still learning how to manage my new very important routines. most of the time it is very overwhelming. I'm hoping one of these days soon it'll become easier. I may to go back to IMU to meditate in the morning so I don't even know how much sleep I will actually get. bye for now

August 24, 2021

 I just got home after being caught yet again for the third time in a rain down pour this season. oh freaking well. today was a bit of an odd day. I've been doing my best to live a healthy and holistic lifestyle and no matter what I keep struggling with stuff.  falling asleep has become a problem again so when I started to get sleepy mid day after some practices/exercises like qi gong, meditation, mouth elocution, instead of going to the gym to workout I went to bed for much needed rest. its ok but annoying because I really want to keep up with gym time. I did make some keto biscuits for the next few weeks before going off on a short but crucial walk. I ended up the the levy senior center reading and writing from natural awakening magazine until in started to rain.


I want to blog/journal daily as part of my routine which I have a hard time doing. but even its one fucking sentence I really want to do it. to save my life. to save my mind. bye for  now
