The Delay in Posting & A Challenge

I apologize for the delay in posting, I had planned plan to do better. I'd like to say it's been a hectic week but I'm not sure that's entirely honest. So in a bid for total transparency I will tell you what's been going on and if that's hectic then it is and if not well, then I'm just lazy. 

I work night shift. Six 12 hour shifts and then I have eight off, therefore, the six are obviously going to be a bit slower than the following eight. For this eight I have been, um, well, sleeping a lot. Six 12s is exhausting. I had an eye appointment that graduated me from transitional bifocals to actual bifocals. 

Shut up. I'm not old enough for bifocals. 

Really.

I also get migraines, so there's that.

My friend Rum and Choke and I have decided that weekly, in a bid for self improvement, we are going to come up with a list of goals for the following week. If you know me, you know I'm a competitive bitch and I must achieve come hell or high water - even thought it's not a competition.  

Here's my Goal List that started on 11/30 and will run until 12/9 (pretend you're fascinated by this, m'kay?!): 

1. Week 1 C25K (I have done the C25K so many times but I can't seem to motivate this time. I recently received a new Garmin and I'm changing this goal to the 5k plan on the Garmin instead of the one I was currently using. So week 1 and 2 remain the same, but the program is different.)

2. Week 2 C25K

3. Paper written (I'm in school. 'Nuff said.)

4. No pop (Self explanatory.)

5. Octopus Mural (I'm remodeling my bathroom and I have a very artistic friend that I am going to ask to paint an octopus mural on the walls of the bathroom.)

6. Plan a vacation (This was Rum and Choke's idea. She's a traveler. I don't have to set up the vacay, but I have to plan it.)

7. 7th Ice Cream 1900 (Ice cream with my work homies - the place we're going also has vegan ice cream.)

8. Take 50 pictures I've never taken before (New camera - new pics.)

9. Clean bedroom (*sobs*)

10. Write a blog post (This is it!)

11. Organize rings (I love jewelry. I'm kind of a junkie. In fact, I have jewelry scattered everywhere. This goal is to organize just a tiny portion of that.)

these are completed

these are in progress

I can imagine everyone will be anxiously awaiting my updates to my goal list and I promise to try not to keep you in suspense! </flat humor>

My life has been unexciting lately,
