Time for Some Good Stuff

These are the pros in my life:

I have a place to slowly store boxes at to make my move easier, smoother, less stressful... Thanks grandma.

Gas is 7 cents cheaper where I'm moving.

There is a 24 Hour Fitness around the corner from where I'm moving to.

I have packed up six boxes of stuff tonight (my desk, bookshelf, closet shelf, corner of room).

I will be a couple miles closer to my grandma's house in my new place.

My new place can fit the beautiful couch I wanted (only $600!), so I am the proud owner of this beauty:


It's only 10.5 feet long. And so comfy. And beautiful.

I am also the proud owner of a new Coby LCD 32" High def TV.

Delicious, I know.

I get the TV and couch delivered straight to my apartment on my move in day, for $60. This delivery fee lasts for a whole year on anything I want delivered in the next year.

RC Willey offers free accounts for financing. I was approved for a year to pay off the $1000 ($600 couch, $320 TV, $60 delivery fee, tax) with NO interest. I'm pretty excited.

All I have left in furniture is: coffee table, tv mount/shelf, bedroom set (headboard, frame, mattress, dresser, nightstand). I guess that's a lot. Still. It's awesome.

I saw a beautiful set at Knights Furniture and Mattress. $400 for the headboard, dresser, and mirror. Another $100 for the night stand. I'm wondering if I can fit the dresser and mirror (separated) into my huge closet, since I don't think it'll fit in my room. 



Lastly, I worked out hard on Thursday. Then I worked out hard on Friday in a kickboxing class. It was super hard, and I was discouraged at how much my martial arts skills have diminished. Saturday all the muscles in my back hurt, as well as the neck muscles (traps?). Then my rotated pelvic bone was bothering me, so I was walking with a limp. But this is supposed to be a good post! I worked out and it was fun. I'm doing it again tomorrow. Pilates, maybe? If I can get up in time. I haven't been sleeping well lately, so it's probable.

I have TONS to do... I haven't even started planning my school year yet. Yikes. I have to read some books to make decisions on what books I wanna do. I also need to figure out how the freak to plan my reading classes!

I've got to get my gas/electric/utilities in my name at my apartment, get renters' insurance, get internet/cable, read my handbooks/rules, finish setting up my classroom, etc. Yikes. Better get some sleep. Because as if I didn't have enough to do, I volunteered to help Cigi and Jas clean/prep their new house in Payson tomorrow. It's cool. I'm actually excited to help! :)

Exciting, overwhelming transition stage of my life. Wouldn't want it any other way.

Disaster Praxis and Spilled Milk

Image
I never wake up with the expectation that it will be a bad day. I tend to wake up with very few expectations, in fact. I just intend to let things play out however they may and roll with the punches. I'm sure more conscious positive thinking would do me some good, but I am by no means thinking negatively. I got up this morning before my alarm intending to get dressed, eat, and head over to the University of Utah for my reading Praxis . This is a 2-hour long test consisting of 90 multiple choice questions and 3 written responses. Not the way anyone likes to spend her Saturday morning, but it has to be done, ya know?  I've been studying for the past week. I took the practice test last night and didn't do so well on it, but I tried to be confident and hope for the best.  So I ate my granola, yogurt, and mango for breakfast and drove over to the U, prepared with my ticket and #2 pencils. Since I just took another Praxis not too long ago at the same place, I felt OK ...

March GBOMB

Good Zoo pass. We have been to the zoo twice so far this year, and bought our pass on our first visit. AJ has asked to go to the zoo multiple times, but the weather is still spotty. I'm excited for more visits to the zoo. I love how small Hogle zoo is so we can knock it out in a couple of hours. And the pass is nice so we can see whatever we want, and leave and not feel stressed about it. Plus he runs around everywhere. Definitely a worthy investment for us.  This makes me laugh every time Weight lifting. I finished March off strong with the Fitbliss at-home workouts. It's been really fun to get to do new workouts and mix things up. It helps me to challenge myself and feel accomplished that I did a hard thing.  Pelvic floor physical therapy. Honestly, it never is comfortable having medical professionals poke around the private parts. But I've been trying to do some breathing and other things at home that seem to have made a difference for my overall tension and dysfunction....

June in Review

Image
June 1 I woke up around 6:30 and took AJ on a walk. We did breakfast and went grocery shopping. He was really fussy after that because he was tired. Matthew tried to put him down for a nap, but I ended up having to hold him until he fell asleep. It was a busy day of trying to pack up the house to get ready for the contractors on Monday. I did laundry and also cleaned out the bottom of the grill. We went to Joy Luck Chinese restaurant for dinner as a family and then the three of us went to the playground. We gave AJ a bath and did bedtime. Matthew went to the kitchen. I took a bath and wrote my GBOMB.  June 2 AJ and I went on a walk. I moved items from the pantry into my bedroom to get ready for the floors being done. I researched and did some measuring to get some shelves for our entryway closet. I took apart our table. AJ and I ran some errands including going to three furniture stores. AJ took a fall down our cement stairs which was really sad. AJ having the time of his life at L...
