A Week Already Gone

An entire week of 2008 has already passed and to me it feels like it's been a month. Our New Year's Eve party is a distant memory to me and I find myself already regretting not making changes this year. Again I'm reminded that I have a new chance today to change things so I'm determined-I WILL.

Sleep has not come easy for me as of late. I have waaay too much energy waaay too late. It's been after midnight the past 4 nights before I've gone to bed. That has GOT to change. I don't feel too bad during the day but getting up is impossible for me. I'm making a resolution to start getting up earlier so that I may perhaps get myself completely awake when I get to work. And perhaps I'll even be on time instead of rolling in at 8:06 or 8:10. (Sidenote: The lyrics to the song that was just playing on my AOL XM radio were "If you fall down again, get back up, get back up".) I also want to write down everything I eat while we're doing this fast so that I can see what changes me and how it does. We'll have to see how these new action plans go. I'll try to speak positively to overcome my fear of failure.

In other news, I have made a bit of a habit of locking my keys in my car since I moved to Texas. I did it only once in the period of 6 years that I was in college/Cleveland and in the 4 months I've been here, I've successfully done so 3 times. This is not good. Luckily I have a spare but I need to actually give it to someone instead of leaving it locked inside my house. This situation re-emphasizes to me that I am single & alone in this town. A sad thought at first but I am blessed beyond measure to have the friends that I do. They take care of me and look after me and I'm beginning to see the advantages of having girlfriends as opposed to just guys. I'm so thankful for all of the amazing people in my life-family and friends-and wish I told them so more often. Maybe that should be another resolution...

Well, I'm off to lunch-heading home today. But I'm sure I'll post more later-especially since I missed yesterday and work is getting a bit less stressful. Happy reading for now!
