So I’ve been convinced that I’ve gained weight since I started teaching full-time. I haven’t been paying attention to my calorie intake, and I haven’t been exercising (working twelve hours every day really wears you out). I got on the scale today and realized that I’ve actually lost three more pounds. So far, I’m down 20.1 pounds.

So that was a nice surprise. Thus I’m treating myself with Dole Whip tonight from my favorite local ice cream shop. :)

The flower shop got in rainbow tulips this week. Normally I’m not a huge fan of artificially dyed flowers, but these are awesome.

Remember: you’re only really a critical thinker if you also apply critical thinking to things you’re inclined to agree with.

Nothing like a good migraine to put a complete stop to any productivity for an entire day.

One day in the far off future, someone will discover a cure for migraines, and I’m going to have to get my dead, lazy bones up to thank them personally.

In other news, I made a perfect omelette today during the time when my painkillers were working. It was perfect. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

My ability to work hard in order to not express emotions has been activated to level 100.

I got shit done tonight.

And Darby wheezes in the next room.

WOMEN’S APPRECIATION WEEK - Day Five: Favorite Inspirational Character
We have to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles and work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third.
Everything you are going through is preparing you for everything you asked for.

I’ve been in bed since 7:30. Life as a teacher, folks.

I NACHO YOUR SUNGLASSES!

Life is crazy.

Hello! I’m not going to say that I’m “back” after this recent hiatus; I just want to say hi.

Some brief life updates:
-I went to visit two friends in NY. That was good.
-Darby is still doing okay. She’s slowing down a lot. She’s currently in my bed next to me snoring. She has her nose buried into my quilt. It’s very cute.
-Today was supposed to be my first day at school for my long-term subbing position. School was canceled due to the freezing rain. Now I have to reconfigure all my plans.
-I’ve finished all my appointments for my Peace Corps medical clearance. I’m still waiting on one lab result, but once I get that submitted next week, all my medical clearance paperwork (for this round at least) should be complete!

It might not seem like a lot, but this is the busiest I’ve been in a long time. I’m trying to figure out how to balance all of this – and more stuff that’s not on the list above. That means that social media like tumblr have really taken a back seat. (And I still have yet to watch the HTGAWM season finale!)

I hope you’re all doing well. I promise, I’m not trying to ignore you! xx

The year is 2015 AD. The human race has existed for over 200,000 years. Men still think women pee out of the vagina.
