I am watching ladies figures skating to see who will represent the United States in the Olympics. Yes, I am that much of a girl. I guess I'm just turning into my mother early in life, she loves Art, so do I, she loves coffee, as do I, she likes figure skating again so do I. Like mother, like daughter apparently. But life today isn't just about figure skating. Life today was about getting year goals and week goals done.
This morning I did a quick clean of the apartment. It gets surprisingly dirty very quickly, but a quick scrub of the tub and the sink and pass with vacuum and it magically gets better quickly. By then it was noon and a quick clean of myself this time I was off to explore my town.
It has been a year goal of mine to explore the little town I have moved to. The problem with living in a small town is not everything is open when you want it to be and the entire town is under snowbanks right now. We are in the dead of winter. The museum was open until 3 and so by getting there at 12:30 I had plenty time to go through it. I didn't need that much time. It only took me until 2:30. There were 3 floors, the first a dedication of the people who settled in the area and what they did, farm. It as charming but at the same time, things I already knew. The second floor was Art, there were a few nice pieces, but nothing of quality that I am accustom too. The third floor was my favorite, it was dedicated to the Native American conflict in 1862. I had studied it, so it had more meaning for me. And the architecture of the building was absolutely beautiful. The brick and wood floors were breathtaking.
From the museum, I drove 30 miles to "the big" city to get to a Best Buy where I could return my bad external hard drive and exchange it for a good one. It was not a painless experience but it could have been worse. Plus the roads were still good shape on the way back (it has been raining all day long (1 inch of rain according to the weather channel!) and the temperature was dropping) so I really can't complain, plus I now have my data backed up. My computer won't crash for a couple of years now because I have everything backed up. Haha Murphy's law take that! So yea! First of many year goals accomplished!
When I got back I backed up my computer, rented some movies because I didn't realize that figure skating was on... and then I actually got off my butt and went to run. I really wasn't in the mood, but thank god I did. I have lost a total of 3 pounds from my starting weight so yeah. But I still have a long way, 27 pounds left to go.
Still have a lot left to do on my goal lists, reading through paperwork, settling down with a book and trying to get some more read on it. But I am making progress.
For example going to Theater with Chris, I have picked a show and a date and I just need her to okay it and we will be going! So yeah. And today I called Julie... so I am keeping in touch with them. Hell I am evening planning on a Best Week Ever 2 with Julie, Christine and Amy. Amy so far is not going for it... but we will see. I am doing little things.
Anyway this is turning into a rambling blog. I best just end it now.
