Not dead yet

I'm not dead. I promise.

Midterms came, but then I only had 5 weeks left and Brain went "OMFFFG! SHHHHHT!" and it was pretty much balls to the wall to catch up and study and pass and...well...survive.
Of course right after school then I was balls to the wall busy because I moved (more on that later too) and had only 2 weeks to do it.
Now I've moved and I'm supposed to be studying for the GRE, which would be my excuse for lack of blogging, but where I live is very active and well, I'm being lazy and letting myself get distracted. Unmedicated ADHD is hard when everything around you is the equivalent of kittens and shiny things.

I'll try to get up a more appropriate post after my 4th of July vacation. :(

Priority

Just making a quick note that the blog....as well as practically every other fun hobby I have.....are all taking a back-burner to catching up in my studies. Will post pics for last post and a new post soon, hopefully.

Damn midterms...

Munchkins and hummus!

I'll add a pictures later. Tuesdays are long days for me so I don't get the opportunity to draw anything for my morning update the following day. Debating on how I'll handle it. For now it'll just be quick posts where I can add a quick pic later.

Apparently there is a new breed of cat called Munchkins. They have stubby legs and are unbelievably adorable.

Today was monthly "free hummus and pita bread" day. Kind of mad since I went way over on my eating yesterday so I'm making up for it today...which means no hummus for me. :(  Still trying to figure out how to make it work. Lol. Maybe if I skip my afternoon snack....

I'm getting increasingly more antsy for Friday. I'm supposed to turn in the crutches then and just go with the boot. Keeping my fingers crossed. It's been hard to not cheat, especially when I pass by the track on my way to the bikes. I want to, but I want to heal faster even more.

That's all for today. Will hopefully get pics up later today.

Freezin for....no reason

Looks like weekends might not get many updates, since I'm usually fairly busy doing stuff. I didn't update yesterday because I was busy trying to make use of my time with studying. I'm still behind so I'm just taking a quick break to write this up.

I can't wait till I'm caught up and can go back to all my projects and activities I had planned. There's tons of things I want to do with all my free time but homework has been taking priority. 

Husky came to see me this weekend. We tried to spend most of it studying but I unfortunately got caught up in a sewing project that was due to get done, for some of it. One break, however, was Saturday when I once again took part in the Polar Bear Plunge! Yes it was that time of year once again. I missed it last year with all the life happenings that were getting in the way so I was glad to do it again this year. Husky wasn't all that enthused though...

Don't get me wrong though. He was most supportive with helping me by keeping a hold on my warm, dry clothes and also getting video evidence.

I did indeed plunge with my crutches. I didn't really have much of a choice, though I was able to have one of the firemen hold them for me at the water's edge so I didn't have to actually jump in with them. I was also able to take off the boot beforehand. Everyone was pretty impressed/shocked, which made me giggle when the announcer looked at me and said,

He also mentioned I should get an award for "Hardest-core Plunger".  Lol.

Of course this all still doesn't really encompass what it's like to actually plunge. I mean, everyone tells you "It's so fucking cold, but so much fun!" All that's true and everything, but it's hard to describe what exactly goes on once you're in the water. You would think every part of your body would be prepared, but that's not really the case. Even though Brain sits there and says "ok I'm ready" and is prepped to command the other parts of the body, it really isn't and it's not until you jump in that you find this out. So I naturally drew a picture. :)

My legs were actually really happy, since I ice them every day (or should) at the doctor's instructions. This is probably not true for everyone else, but the other body organs I think are pretty similar. 

The rest of the weekend, as I said, was nice and quiet. Even though I'm still fairly stressed out from my every growing work load I'm not ticcing as much now, thanks to Husky. He has some pretty effective methods for helping me calm down. :)

I've started employing that as a form of imagery, to go in conjunction with my breathing exercises, whenever I need to calm my self down from tics. So far it's working really well. 

Unfortunately, the only problem with this weekend is I had a left over box of sweet things that had been given to me through work. They consisted of danishes, turnovers, cinnamon rolls, and muffins.......all things that are sadly my biggest food weakness, next to cheese obviously.

Of course I caved. I'm sure one terrible day isn't going to completely ruin my healthy eating habits. Gotta splurge sometimes.

God they were so good. Problem is, I'll be getting more this Friday......and my roommates think I'm starving myself, for some odd reason.... Well, I probably was when I originally started dieting to help lose all my weight. Once I started really getting into shape and becoming more active, however, I had to bring up the amount I ate anyways. Currently I'm following what my doctor has set for me, but that still doesn't stop my roommates from teasing me about when I wasn't.
