Time for my primal scream therapy...
My life for the past two weeks has been AMAZING. And not in a good way. I’m trying to sound whiney, but I really have not been sharing ALL that has been going on with me, with everyone I know. Soooo…. Here goes…
1) My boss cut my hours to PT- I’m talking 25 hours a week.
2) Because of said cut hours, my performance is going down. Annoying.
3) I just got in a car accident, where my car rolled backward in a parking lot and it hit another car….
4) I’m going to want to pay for fixing the other car out of pocket (probably) to save on my car insurance. Like I’m rolling in extra money right now.
5) My Intro to Paralegal teacher announced yesterday that there’s been multiple quizzes that I’ve missed because he a) didn’t announce them in class and b) their not on the syllabus…. We’re just supposed to KNOW to look for them
6) There other stuff I can’t really mention because I need to be discrete about not naming names and crap… but know that there’s OTHER stuff I could mention that involves... people I know.
7) It’s Winter. Uck.
8) My history teach just reads the book. Seriously.
On the positive Side, I have had some AWESOME things happen recently…
1) Bekky made me a surprise snowman
2) I love my roommates
3) I get to bake one of my roommates “the birthday cake” soon
4) I have my mom’s painting on my wall now
5) My room is slowly getting into order now I have a shredder
6) Ricco is pretty sweet, even though he’s a scardey bird
With each new event in my life, I’m actually working hard as heck to make lemon aid out of these lemons. I actually think I’m doing pretty well. This does mean however that every now and then, I need some primal scream therapy!! As long as I can periodically just “let it out” I think I’ll survive. I just need for it to be spring. Then summer. The fall. Then I’ll be done with School, and I can move (I think) to Colorado. I think that’s the plan for now. I SERIOUSLY need a change of scene, and I think that’s the winner… I would go for… say the Oregon coast, BUT there’s no jobs out there. I’ve looked. I need a place with a good economy… Any suggestions? Because as of right now, I’ll consider almost anything… :P

calorie counting
I think I'm going to finally take the advice I've received from my mother (shocking, I know) and start counting calories.
Despite what people think, I'm really quite active already. I work in a warehouse where, not every day, but often enough I spend several hours moving inventory. I work out 1-2 times a week. And during the warmer months.. about 9 months out of the year I tend to spend A LOT of time on my bike. I'm talking hours each day. :)
So, I must be doing something wrong in my diet to make me still fat. Let's be honest, I need to lose about 30-40 more pounds. So.... Calorie Counting. Gross. Not my fav. But- where do I need to start? Here's a projector that is telling me how many calories I need to take in just to maintain where I'm at:
http://www.muscleandstrength.com/tools/bmr-and-daily-calorie-calculator.html
So.... I just need to eat LESS than 2,700 a day to lose weight. A pound is 3,500. So once the calories I'm eating less = 3,500, I should lose a pound. Let's see how this works.

To cry or to laugh????
I have two options right now. I can cry, or I can laugh. It's kinda up to me. But I have only a short period of time to make that decision.
You see, the rescission has decided to start impacting my life. I'm not going to go into details yet, but I've been put between a rock and a hard place, because someone else mismanaged money. So now there apparently isn't enough for me.
I COULD use this as an opportunity to wind myself into a new job. I COULD make them fire me and I apply for unemployment. I COULD quit entirely and try to make ends meet as a full time student again. I COULD try to get another p/t job. There's a lot of "coulds" that are open to me. I *wish* one of those "coulds" was my mother's really rich relatives COULD just spontaneously give me money. It would never happen, but you never know, right? I can keep hoping? It COULD happen.
Regardless of their decisions I had already started the process of going back to school to began a new career. I just wish I could think of something that I actually LOVE that would pay my way ;) But then, doesn't everyone?
I know I'm in the same boat as many other people out there. I just thought I was safe in my little Valley, that this wouldn't happen to me. I guess it's my time to learn through trials. Like I said in the title of this blog- I have two options. I could laugh about it, or I could cry. I'm going to try my darnedest to make this a laughing matter.
If you read this- please don't say anything on facebook- it's kinda under wraps right now. I know that my office mates don't read this- so it's ok.
