Happy Holidays
Who am I kidding? Merry Christmas. While I'd love to play little Mrs. Politically correct, I won't... You may wish me a happy whatever-holiday-you-celebrate (or a happy winter if you don't celebrate anything) and I will accept your greeting with a smile :)
I spent most of my break thus far baking …
School's Out for Winter...
Monday's Health exam wasn't nearly as bad as I was anticipating. I found it a little easy to be honest... Unfortunately, that sometimes means that I did a lot worse than I thought... Anyway! We got our results back from our Professional Issues exam. I'm pretty happy with my mark -- 99% :)
I was supp…
Getting Antsy Over the Health Exam
I feel very unprepared for the Health exam that I have on Monday. I wanted to spend this whole weekend studying for it, but as luck would have it, it was the weekend of the staff Christmas party for my boyfriend, my nephew's fourth birthday, undue ailments, and unexpected snow fall.
While I was pract…
Update on the Car
I thought I should give a little update about the car. As it turns out, Candian Tire was trying to swindle me. They were telling me that the rotor had to be replaced as well as each brake pad. All the rotor really needed was a quick ceaning with a grinder and the pads were perfectly fine. They are b…
Concerts, Cars, and Canadian Tire
On Friday night, my boyfriend and I went to the Nine Inch Nails concert which was just awesome. Unfortunately, I was sick and my brain had shut down for the night before it even started, so I was zoning out during some parts. That was very unfortunate, because I had been looking forward to seeing NI…
My Current Health and School
I'm finding it hard to find time to update still. This program is very intense. It's not "hard", but it is very jam-packed with content and homework. When you're not doing homework, you're trying to get ahead because it is very easy to fall behind.
There are 12 learning activities per week, on avera…
Conclusion of Vegan Diet
I failed hard core on updating this blog to show what I had eaten each day. Unfortunately, I also failed to write it down anywhere. I managed to stay vegan for a full week and I did not feel any better or any worse at the end of the week.
In fact, I currently have pain from the sinus infection I was…
Food Journal: Day Three
Today, I woke up with severe nausea -- I didn't feel like eating a darn thing. Unfortunately, there is a sickess going around, so I'm not sure if that's what to blame or if it is my not eating enough, or the pill I'm on (hey, I'll be honest here).
I was able to choke down some flax meal cereal (bare…
Food Journal: Day Day
Day one was a lot better than day two. I woke up with some unusual nausea that I beleive was brought on by not eating nearly enough the night before.
What I ate:
- Flax Meal Cereal
- Coffee with rice milk and sugar
- Bagel with peanut butter
- Salad with a raspberry vinaigrette
- Miso stew (for lunch -- left…
Preparing for Veganism
First off, I'll offer up that I haven't gone for a run since Monday and it was on a treadmill. I ran for a little over 10 minutes straight and decided to call it quits after a 2 minute recovery and a 3 minute additional interval run. The room was just too hot and I didn't feel all that great.
I real…
Learning to Love Mondays...
Ah Mondays. It's so easy to wake up early for the things that you truly enjoy. Right now, it is 5:48 AM and I just woke up about 15 minutes ago. I sprung out of bed full of pep, ready to take on another day of school. I'm excited to see what it entails.
Yesterday, I ran off to Walmart (because I'm …
New Schedules Are Hard
I'm hoping that by next week, my body as well as my mind will be adjusting better to the new routine and schedule. This week, I barely had the energy to crawl back into my house after school was out.
This first week was hard because I had to drive 15 minutes in the wrong direction to get to my back-…
Dealing With Death
My poor daycare provider called an hour ago to let us know that she cannot watch our daughter tomorrow due to a death in her family. I feel terribly for her. She's such a wonderful person -- especially to our wee one -- I hated hearing that news. Fortunately, we were able to find a back-up for tomor…
New Route
I fully intended on going for my run today; however, I woke up to find that I had left my shoes outside all night and it had rained... Right inside my shoes! Needless to say, they were soaking wet and I didn't manage to get out for my run. I didn't have much exercise today, either.
My daughter was h…
