HAPPY 60th POST!

Well folks I made it to 60 lol.  If you can't tell my posts have become a little less frequent. Partially because I'm a struggling a  bit having reaggravted my hip (been drugged).  Then I decided to start creating the 'Command Center" more on that later....and the water bugs are out...ewwwwww. 

I went out and finally bought a desk....turns out the perfect desk.  Now....I need the writing to come lol.  Which would be cool if I didn't think there were large water bugs meandering around behind me lol.  Ithink I killed the queen the other day in my living room.  To exaplin I live in a split level apartment.  And these things only come out when it gets rainy and warm out.  In my kitchen.  Which is next to the "Command Center".

So, what the hell is the command center?

Well. I have decided to take some time out to focus on my writing...whatever that may be lol (show, a piece, cookbook, tell all novel?) But I needed to create a space to write and one that was  actually conducive to writing.  So, I decided to turn my rarely used dining room into a co-diing room/office.  I added just ONE bookshelf (I have many many more) and my new desk bought off craigslist from a dude moving for $40 (it's a $100 IKEA desk fyi lol).  So, after hemming and hawing I finally created the Comman Center last night.  After getting the desk, putting it together, and moving things around I was of course too tired to write.  But I felt really good about my process...until I woke up and saw a huge water bug dead on a glue trap in my kitchen (which opens up to the Comman Center). 

I know I'm being skittishly random but on the real, when you spend HOURS somewhere you have to feel comfortable so that it doesn't make the sucky part of writing (physically writing veruss coming up with the ideas) harder than it already is lol.  Anywho this is important because I have had a lot of good impulese to write but no time and no place.  So, I eleimnated the place excuse by creating the Command Center.  And yesterdya I wrote my boss at the second job and I requested the first 3 weeks in June OFF.  And when I go back I will be at 2 shifts a week (she doesn't know that though lol).  I want to clear out some time to get back to having fun on this journey.  It's hard when your injured though.  But thankfully I slept over a large mound of pillows which ultimately realigned my back/hip area that had popped out of wack (note to self can't ride a seated bike yet....grrrrr).

Anywho, I did loose a pound of the crap the same two I've been losing and gaining for 5 weeks.  And with my period coming on I expect to gain that back in water lol.  So, perhaps two weeks from now I will go down.  Oh and I'm walking that 5K on Sunday in Wheaton....am NERVOUS.  because withthe back going out this week I haven't had time to do a trial 5K to get a trial time to beat.  And last week I was just in a stress induced funk.But I'm going to do it!  I just need rember my rules.  Walk my pace, have the phone and mp3 players juiced up, and have fun.  Am bringing Digie (my digital camera) to document this.  So that should make it fun lol.  My sister is SUPPOSED to be walking it with me....I don't know if she'd even paid.  Regardless I think I'd rather do it by myself anyway.  This is a battle that it helps to have friends but somethings you gotta do by yourself.  I mean ain't nobody else gonna walk the 3.2 miles for me lol. lol. Anywho I better go...will write a more inspiring blog next time...
