A picture from a couple weeks ago when there was a red moon (my phone did not do it justice... still):
 |
| June 5th |
1) Dinner was amazing (this beautiful salad). (Which was made more amazing since I was kinda ill the rest of the day and unable to eat.)
2) I got to spend time with my family.
3) We sat around and told some funny stories ^.
4) I got to talk to a friend who made me laugh.
5) I'm going to hang out with Abbey this week!
1) I slept in today.
2) A friend of mine talked to me today and I was really glad to hear from them. (Thought we weren't friends anymore - so I was glad to hear back from them!)
3) My stomach is doing weird things today but I managed not to puke!
4) I am craving food again (see above) - w00t!
5) I think I am going to get myself some pizza tomorrow. I have been craving deep dish! (In Japan, after family and football, I seriously missed cheese and pizza. I still haven't gotten sick of either - though I haven't gorged on it... still!)
For your enjoyment: Apparently at some point last night I found my brother while I was on ambien. Found this in my phone: (I asked my brother about it - since I have zero memory. He said, "I said, 'you're on ambian[sic].' You said, 'my skin looks weird.'" LOL
1) Found out I'm in the wrong workshop, which actually was a relief as this one is/was WAY over my head!
2) I played some D2 today. :)
3) I had some organic dark chocolate mint bar.
4) My pain is almost gone, yay!
5) I had popcorn for dinner. Yum!

1) It took my 3.5 hours, but I finished (I hope) the form that my principal needed from me.
2) I wasn't able to donate (so I won't be able to win an iPad air) but I felt ok about it. :)
3) My pain is almost over!
4) I am SOOO glad to have that huge form off my back (#1) - it seriously is worth being mentioned twice.

1) I freaked out a tech. That was fun. I overheard him tell the cust his first name and he was helping another tech (so he hadn't told me his name at all). Well I have a fairly good memory, so I asked him, "Is this .." and named him by first and last name. He FREAKED. "How did you know that!?" LOL So great! (i have a good memory.)
2) My call times were excellent tonight - and our team won the second round of the call time competition!! (Now we're in the finals. :D)
3) I had a meeting this morning at the school - it was longish but it helped me feel a lot more calm about the fall. (Other than I'm going hiking and camping with the students as a chaperon and have zero experience with either... lol oh boy!)
4) My workout went fairly well though I felt icky.
5) Because I had a meeting EARLY this morning I put my hair in socks (curled it) and put on make up so I would look nice for it.. then I went to the gym. It's the first time I have ever worn make up there and having been going for 3 months now. I turned a lot of heads in shock. LOL -The regulars will see me back to normal on Wednesday!
happiness quote: (I found this on a quote site!)

1) Still feeling extremely grateful for heating pads as I was lying on one almost all day.
2) I met someone today who speaks French so I got to speak a bunch of French! That was fun!
3) I forgot this story from Friday - as I was getting ready to go to the temple, I put on a shirt I haven't worn since I was in Japan. It wasn't tight on me there, but it fit me. Now it's all KINDS of baggy. It was the first shock moment I've had as to how much weight I've lost! Go me!
4) I played a game with Angèle, Josué, Emmett and Nadia!

He told me, "On Mondays, Grumpy Mike, every other day just Mike." I heard: "On Monday Gropey Mike, every other day just Mike." (He has a heavy southern accent.) I exclaimed, "Gropey Mike!?" (Because he's a really nice guy and I couldn't believe that,) Luckily he misheard me and said, "Ya I'm always grumpy because I'm tired on Mondays." lol oops!
3) They sat a trainee with me and it was awesome. I did so great but may have worried him... lol I was on FIRE tonight!
4) I got to go to the temple with my parents. :)
5) I may be getting off work early tonight which will be nice because then I can get enough sleep for tomorrow!
