Quote of the Day:
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result." ~Albert Einstein~
I totally nabbed quote of the day from Dustbuffalo
I love Albert Einstein's quotes.
I find that quote very inspiring for introducing change in your life. I mean, how many times have I been to a point where I am just looking at something and saying, "I can't take this anymore." The only thing that remotely helps, is to start dealing specifically with the things that you want different results from.
I wanted to be healthier. I've wanted to be healthier for years. I believe I was introduced to the key to my health in 1998 when I became ill with pneumonia. I read and read. It was all I could do, I was sick, laying in bed all day, coughing like my lungs themselves were to be rid of. Anyhow, I found out about Dr Schulze, and the whole idea of veganism curing a whole bunch of things. I was undiagnosed at the time. I've had PCOS for an undeterminable amount of years but I believe that it started with puberty.
Getting to the point.
I went absolutely mad. Finally, having enough I changed to veganism and have found myself much healthier. I hope the above doesn't sound preachy. It's meant to say why I identify with that quote.
Today, my sleep schedule is screwed. I've woke up so many times, I've tossed and turned all over the bed, and bleah. Hello. 4 a.m. Reminds me of jet lag. I'll have to try to stay awake today until midnight to see if I can't offset this and get back to my sleeping between 10p - 6a.
I am not going to get to muse as much as I'd like today. I *have* to take the car to get worked on. The grinding noise is back with a vengeance and I am feart to drive it anywheres but directly to a place to fix it. That's okay though, because, I'll be musing tomorrow too.
I have developed a routine for myself that seems to work decently. It goes like this:
Mondays:
Laundry
Tuesdays:
Kitchen
Wednesdays:
Bathrooms and animals
Thursdays:
Self
Fridays:
Carpet and floors
Saturdays:
Muse
Sundays:
Domesticity
I like that better than a day of full tilt cleaning. I get less overwhelmed this way. Self is the day that I take bubble baths and do all those girly things that we should make time for, but don't. Conditioning treatment, oiled bubble bath, moisturizing, trimming the vine, reading a book. Whatever. Relax. It's also the day that I eat only raw foods, drink only water, and try to practice complete breathing cycles.
Sundays=Domesticity is that I notice that I have been experimental cooking at least once a week. I've set sundays aside for that. Not to say that I won't ever change things up, but this is helping me stay focused with the muse.
John and I have been considering moving to Hagerstown, MD. The reason being that it is less travelling distance to all of our family members. But, I don't really want to move to another strange city and learn a new place all over again. Not unless the city is Glasgow or Paris. With John being hired on, and if I can manage to move my ass about my business, then perhaps we can afford more trips. We are slowly becoming better decision makers. Chipotle is moving here. It's a sign. I'm supposed to stay here >-)
There is school, I still want to go to school, I've not forgotten it. I've just become caught up in bills and such.
gosh, i'm rambly at 4 a.m.
i'm gonna try and get another wee sleep in before I have to get up and go to the bank, and then get the car fixed.
