Good or Bad?

This is the sequenece of events that has happened since I left work yesterday at 1 am, I cannot tell if this equals the start to a good day or bad.

GOOD-After leaving work yesterday, a little grumpy, I was (literally) surprised by my friends with a Valentine's cake. They had waited up for me to come home to thank me for some treat bags I had made them for Valentines. It was very surprising and very sweet!

BAD-My alarm (which I KNOW I set) did not go off, making me late for work

BAD-As I was running out the door to get to work, I felt I was forgetting something-halfway to work I realized it was my glasses, and I do not have contacts in either.

BAD-When I got to work I realized my favorite hat and slipped off while running here, I can only hope to find it in a puddle on my way home

GOOD-The class I usually have (and my only class on Tuesdays and Thursdays) after work, has been canceled, freeing up just a little more time to get work done today.

And here we can see an EXACT example of my theory that for every good thing that happens and equal 3 bad things will happen. HAHA ok yes I realize it is just a coincidence and no bad things could cancel out my friends kind gestures (or the extra sleep I got :) hehe)

A No-Valentines Valentine's Day

I don't really care, I guess, but it has just struck me (as I am here stuck at work till 1 am) that not one person has wished me a Happy Valentine's Day today. It's understandable but I guess a part of me is still a little sad I never got the greeting. Just a little reminder that you are loved by someone, not even my mother wished me well today. I guess like I said, not that it matters-I try not hold any meaning to it, people just had better things to do. At least I can look forward to hopefully hearing birds chirping in the morning again tomorrow. Thats...something. Right?

Goodness It Has Been A While!

Not only since I wrote, but since I have heard birds in the morning! Which is what really promted me to come back and make sure there is written proof the today (yes Valentine's Day blah blah ick...) I heard birds singing this morning. This means spring is on its way! Ahh the warm sun and wonderful weather! I'm soo excited! I love spring and summer I love the weather!!! It is no longer frightful! Suck it Santa your season is over! (ok well not offically but I want spring!)

On another note (as my brain is all jumbled with all sorts of things so everything is out of order) NEWS EVERYONE! This Lent I have decided to fast, I wanted to do a fasting expirement and since Lent was coming up I figured that it would be a good time period to set this expierment on. I am still setting up all the rules and regulations I must follow on this fast since I have to be careful because I have an active and busy schedule and I don't want to be unable to function. I am thinking the best way to do this is that although I am using a Christian time frame I need to bring in the Muslim fasting rule that during the day I am not allowed to eat but when the sun is down I can. However I have decided that I will only be allowed to eat on certain days (perhaps once a week) and this meal must be all natural foods (no processed junk for me!). To prepare for this, I have started fasting every other day and this Thursday it shall be bumped to fasting for two days, the next week I will fast for three days and so on until March 9th when Lent begins and so does the fasting expirement. I am excited not only to see how my body reacts but also to see if I can basically reboot my system. If I take away all those bad foods for 40 days will I still crave them when its over? Will I be able to break the habit of looking for ice cream and chocolate instead of an apple? CAN I make my brain listen more to what my body needs instead of what advertising tells me to eat? The hardest part of the fast will be giving up coffee. I don't want to but if I consistantly rely on over-drinking coffee to make up for the hunger in stomach I will not learn anything except another dependence and addiction. This. Is. Going. To. Be. Tough. Especially when I will be home for spring break and it will be so tempting to eat out a lot. One thing I have not yet decided on is alcohol consumption. I don't drink much alcohol as is but I don't want to cut out going out with friends. Of course I can go out and choose not to drink, but it is very hard to do. hmm I will have to ponder this.

For now I must get back to life...sigh...
