Previously...(as in Yesterday)

 (Last night)

I am currently waiting for a friend from work to come over and watch some movies. The current plan is to bask in some Keanu Matrix Hotness as she has never seen any of the movies. It might be awkward as you never really know how some of these work friendships work out in real life so we’ll see.

 

I feel as though I have been a horrible friend as I seem to have declined in my updating and reading LJ and I don’t really know why other than I stay so busy here lately. I don’t like feeling out of touch so I know I need to make more time as LJ and online is usually the only way I get to interact with many of you.

 

My house is super clean. There’s nothing like having someone over to motivate a person to get busy. Unfortunately, it took longer than expected and I didn’t get to walk today. Yesterday I had to run errands all day and then there was play practice and church Wed. night and I never had the time to walk yesterday either. The time change also has a negative effect. If I miss a few days I feel as though I am getting out of the habit. It doesn’t help that it’s that time of the month, I’ve eaten anything that isn’t nailed down and then some, and my weight loss has stalled for the past few months. I’m not quite sure how to jumpstart it again either so I am going to keep plugging along but there is always the fear that it’s only a matter of time before I gain what I have lost, a feeling that is worsened by missing a couple of days exercising this week. It’s also daunting to know we are entering the dieting “nightmare before Christmas” LOL!

 

Brandon’s arm is improving and his ROM is getting better and better. I think we may have dodged the physical therapy bullet, hopefully.

 

I can’t believe I signed up to be in the Christmas play but I am working ever so slowly at working to decrease my intense public speaking phobia. And it is a true phobia! I explained it to someone like this; When I walk, I am always on the lookout for snakes and fear coming across one, but not enough to stop walking where I do. Driving can be fearful for me and I have reason to be afraid of driving, but it hasn’t been enough to make me chuck the keys and move to where public transportation is an option. My fear of public speaking/performance has been enough to hold me back and actually has influenced some personal decisions. Anyway, it should be interesting and I don’t have a bazillion lines. Brandon loves it. He has way more acting chops than his poor mother, though….LOL!

 

Tomorrow I have nothing planned until the evening. It will be nice to get up, drink some coffee and putter around my clean house. I DO intend to workout tomorrow but I am not an early am exerciser. I prefer the afternoon, really, but with the time change I need to be more mindful of the time. I have to work Saturday and I will probably be in the ER. Again. 

( Danger..long winded work rant ahead..... )

 

My entertainment junkie thoughts are not very cohesive at the moment so I have nothing to say really, other than I did finish season one of Heroes. I was underwhelmed a bit by the finale and thought the last scene between Nathan and Peter was rather cheesy, not the interaction itself, but how all of the other Heroes were there watching. It almost felt soap-opera-ish. I also expected a bit more from the showdown, though I did like how they all played a part. My problem now is that I have been recording the current season but I didn’t start recording at the beginning. I have the DVR set to record all episodes so I hope that I’ll pick them up in reruns because I do want to get to watching. As for Atlantis, I enjoyed both the last episodes, which I watched out of order, but strangely found myself wanting Kate to have lost her memory of Rodney. What’s up with that? Maybe I was hoping for a bit-o-angstfest for Rodney. And while I do like it that they don’t have Carter stepping on Rodney’s science toes, come on!?! She has skills comparable to his and it seems like they have neglected that. I did like the interaction between Carter and Rodney when they were searching for Teyla. I also liked the episode where Sheppard get’s kidnapped more than I thought I would (as evidenced by me watching it after Tabula Rasa….I wasn’t in a hurry to see it initially..LOL) I certainly LOVE Torchwood and its (the writers?) view of life after death is certainly a mind bender. In the story thus far we have heard that after death, there’s nothing? There’s darkness? Oh, but wait, you (Your soul? Your lingering life force? Your what?) has an awareness that there is nothing and is existing in this void. But, there’s something moving in this void, this nothing, and it’s not a good thing. Certain alien objects have the ability to cause you to hang out after death to review your life. For what purpose? For nothing? I  can’t wait to see where they are going with this, if indeed they are going anywhere. Hum, I suppose I had a bit more cohesion than I thought.
