High/Low 11.12.04 TGIF!!!

Friday, November 12th, 2004

Morning my little fireflies!

How are you? It’s FRIDAY!!! I’m so excited for that fact! FRIDAY!!! Ah.. this week went quite quickly.. and.. all things concerned, without a hitch.. So I’m grateful. I wrote this long posting yesterday.. was getting my quotes together.. and BAM.. my silly computer crashed.. and I lost the posting. Grr.. eh.. I figured if it crashed then I wasn’t meant to talk to you.. so I went to bed instead. Now.. the weather.. It is pouring, dark, chilly, damp, the kinda weather that makes mold grow quicker.. (eww) where a brief walk outside can cause one to become a wet mop.. it’s supposed to be like this all day (gross) until tomorrow sometime (even more gross) Eh.. if you can’t beat em.. join em.. I think I need to purchase some funky rainboots..

High: I had a great nite Wednesday nite, catching up with someone I hadn’t seen in a while… Yesterday, I had to go to a job site close to my parents/sister… and I got done around 3:30.. so I went to surprise my sister at her job! I like to do that when I can.. my dad showed up too.. it was a family affair! Krissy and I went to Outback for dinner *yum* and I was home in bed by 9:30. I am wearing my new outfit that I bought last weekend! I feel great! I am counting down the hours before I go pick up my girl, Michelle at the train station tonite around 7ish.. I CAN’T WAIT to see her!!! 2 whole days of Michelle ALL to myself! I talked to my other best friend, Matthew yesterday. I miss him a lot..I hope to see him soon… He’s in Germany for the army.

Low: This week was surprisingly without any lows worth noting. Had a great week overall!

I am not sure exactly what Michelle and I are going to do.. but I know whatever it is.. we will treasure the time we have… My ultra-sexy/smart friend “De-La Ghetto” Joe Sheridan is going to meet us for dinner Saturday nite somewhere.. should be a great nite of laughing..imbibing some drinks.. and spending time with each other. I hope whatever you do this weekend.. you enjoy yourselves!

Hey there folks..

How are you? It’s tuesday.. I’m ready to get comfy under my covers right about now.. man! I’m tired! Today was another chilly day.. windy.. thankfully it was sunny.. and the sky was beautifully blue today. Grateful for that! I think the cooling trend will stay with us now to begin our steady drop into winter. eww. I’m not liking that fact too much.

High: Hmm.. I kinda had a neutral day.. nothing really exciting.. I guess the fact that my boss and I didn’t see each other today.. was a good thing. Sometimes I just yearn to rid myself of his presence sometimes.. I feel REALLY good.. someone from my school, SCAD.. called me, wanting a donation.. and I ended up talking to an Interior Design student.. I talked to her for almost 30 minutes on what to look out for in the”real” world.. (as per my OWN experiences) I know it helped her a lot! I told her to give her friends my email.. I’d be MORE than happy to help others prepare themselves..

Low: My head still has this silly migraine.. waves of nausea still.. fever .. weird! I have never had a migraine last this long or act this weird. I cannot even guess what it is that’s causing this.. Dust? Not sleeping enough? Too much on my mind? Probably a bit of all of that. It’s a strange feeling though.. when it hits.. I really feel like someone put electrodes to my brain.. and I’m temporarily “out of order” for a while.. till it passes.. That and my eyes are more sensitive to the sun today. Poo. ALSO…. my computer wouldn’t go on all day today.. I ONLY got it started now..by LUCK!! I have NO idea what i did to start it.. I have NO idea how to fix it either.. UGH.. this hopeful temporary setback will not alter my email junky-ness too much… God I pray.

Anyway.. I’m getting my cold, tired self to bed early tonite.. I didn’t go to the gym tonite.. tired.. and needing some R&R from my dedicated self.. Proud of me cause I can see my clothes getting bigger every day.. but it’s no help when I don’t feel well. Rest.. (and time with Pez) is most important…

Have a great nite folks!

Hiety ho my lovelies,

How ya doin? I’m doing well today.. had an ok day today (it’s funny.. I always hesitate typing that because I don’t want to “jinx” the next day) It’s so nice to have my computer set up NOT in my bedroom.. I am so loving that. Today was a chilly day.. windy.. I did not dress for todays wind.. but the sky was very blue.. and wow.. the sunset tonite.. beautiful pinks and purples.. makes me think of Bob Ross’s paintings.. happy little clouds.

High: I am feeling thinner and thinner every day.. SUCH a great feeling!!!! Today at a job site (US Mint) one of the architects there is deaf.. so I got to use my limited sign language ability.. to talk to him.. he seemed impressed that I knew how to sign.. It was truly.. the highlight of my day.. I get such a rush signing.. I really do think I should find some activity where I can practice more.. Had a good day at work (again.. don’t get the impression, for one second, that although I had a good day.. that I want to be at this job ONE second longer than I have to) came home.. went to the gym.. met my girlfriend Davina there.. MAN! We are doing really well..I do 30 minutes on the elliptical thingy.. and now.. we are using weights.. I love having a gym partner. My best friend Matthew called me tonite from Germany.. I have been thinking about him a lot.. I miss him. I made a yummy meal tonite! mmmm.. I am also psyched this Sunday I am going to be going to an art show to see this AWESOME artist/woman’s work with Michelle.. www.bonesigharts.com I do.. recommend that you all check out her stuff.. it’s amazing!!!

Low: Um…. nothing worth noting, I have chapped lips.. which is never fun.. AH.. I have had a migraine since Friday.. As of this moment.. It feels like it’s gone now.. I hope so.. today wasn’t much fun.. waves of nausea.. ugh. Thankfully I am blessed not to get migraines very often.

Anyway.. I’m goin to bed… I’ll check with ya’ll soon!!!

Hey everyone..

How’s your weekend. It’s rapidly coming to a close, a fact that makes me more sad by the moment. It has been an absolutely georgeous weekend. High 60′s and beautiful! No need for a jacket even.. a slight teaser on the part of Mother Nature.. cause I’m sure that in just days.. the chill will settle in.. and we will have to break out our flannel sheets and our mittens soon. :(

High: Well I got a lot done this weekend, unpacking. There’s a lot to unpack, boxes upon boxes that I am determined to get put away before next weekend comes.. when one of my best friends, Michelle, comes down from the big apple..Also, my friend Joe, who’s been away the past 4 months is back in town so I think he’s going to join Michelle and I for dinner Saturday nite! I am so excited to see her! Friday nite, I went to have Watsu.. it’s a water type of massage. I was in the pool with the therapist for about 2.5 hours. It was so nice. Saturday I went to get my hair trimmed, went and bought a new outfit (on sale AND 2 sizes smaller .. WOO HOO!) I am very happy right now to be writing from the comfort of my new pad.. love it!

Low: Kinda bored this weekend.. I know that I needed to unpack.. but I really did nothing exciting this weekend… one of those weekends where I was a bit lonely.. oh well.. I’ll get over it.. I am SOOOO not wanting to go to work tomorrow!!! Ugh.

Anyway.. I’m happy to report my computer’s up and running.. (gotta get a techie in here.. I think my computer needs a check up) So.. you all have a great weekend! I will catch you all soon.. now that I can write whenever I want again!

Signore e signori di buon giorno (Good day ladies and gentlemen!)

How are you today? I’m wonderful.. I really don’t know whats going on.. I’m thinking there has been a shift in my energy since I’ve moved… I can’t really explain how It feels like everything that bothered me the past few months.. is now somehow.. turned into immense understanding.. and patience. Today is, by far, one of the most beautiful days of the year. It is unusually warm, the trees waving in the breeze as I drive around.. I Love it! What would be better is an afternoon nap, with all the windows open at home. I hope you all have gone out and voted or are in the process… we’ll see what happens tonite!

High: Went to Target last nite.. took my time.. moseyed around.. got my favorite coffee for this morning.. great nite! Another great day, waking up in my new space. I am so.. in awe of how comfortable I feel there already.. and I’m still at 90% unpacked phase still. LOVE it! Went to vote before going to work.. took 45 minutes.. not too bad. Felt good to support my country.. Went to job site with boss.. so nice outside. For lunch.. I got some food.. and sat by the water.. it is so nice out.. one of the few days I’ll be able to soak in the sun.. without a coat on. I saw my friend Shannon at work today.. (Shan you look great btw!) She told me she can tell I’m losing weight.. what a GREAT compliment!!!

Low: Didn’t go to the gym last nite.. really tired.. gonna go tonite though. Other than that.. I think all’s been really good!

Side note: This morning I saw a new Eminem video.. called “Mosh”.. I completely loved it. It’s raw.. just like him to be like that.. but I have to give it to him.. he really does know how to shake things up. I give him COMPLETE PROPS for calling up the subject matter of today’s election.. and the status of the world. I have always respected him for using his freedom of speech, no matter what his opinion has been.. and I definately say Kudos for being, to some, a thorn in the side of those who might be a catalyst to change. BIG UP EMINEM!

K ya’ll.. I’ll talk to you soon. I hope you all have a great rest of your day!

Ancora Imparo.

Love you all.

Good Morning my beautiful teacups!

How are you all? I hope good.. the first day of the month.. ah.. today I began a fresh start.. at my new abode. It is georgeous out today. The beautiful trees, dropping their leaves like a gentle snowfall.. quiet.. I love it! It is wonderful outside today here.. high 60′s.. lovely.

So the move, was like all moves.. fast.. tiring..sweaty.. realizing how much stuff I really have. Whew.. a lot! I have been on the go.. the past 2 weeks.. packing.. moving.. setting up new space and saying goodbye to my apartment of 4 years.. I cannot begin to express how much I KNOW I am going to enjoy the new space.. Maybe shifting of this energy will bring about even more changes on the horizon.. who knows.. ya know?

I still don’t have my computer set up at home yet.. give me a few days.. then I’ll go back to writing more often.. maybe every day again..

High: LOVED waking up this morning.. the sun was bright.. the trees out my window so beautiful.. sat and drank my coffee.. meditated.. LOVE it! I am still losing weight and this skirt that I haven’t been able to fit into fits! woo hoo! I was actually a bit enthusiastic to go to work today for some reason.. I feel good today.. like a big weight has been lifted… no more shuffling back and forth every day.. I’m actually going to start back at the gym tonite.. My boss and I saw a Fox on the way back from an appt. I had never seen a real Fox before. I also got a surprise email today.. from someone I had a few dates with.. weird.. Ya know what? I can do my laundry ANY TIME I WANT to now! (Sorry Nicole and Maureen) I am SOOO excited about that.. I’m sitting here.. thinking..’ I think I’ll do a load of laundry tonite!” eh.. it’s the little things..ya know? My co-worker, Barbara, gave me a house warming gift.. these beautiful plates I can hang on the wall.. I think I just might!

Low: As of right now.. the tiredness is hitting me a little.. from all the excitement of this weekend… my eyes are a little heavy.. This weekend was the normal frustrations of moving.. nothing out of the ordinary.. My poor kitty cat, Pez.. she was so confused when I moved her to the house.. meowing for an hour.. like “Mom.. where are we?” aww.. it made me sad a little. (she’s good now.. meandering all over like she’s lived there for weeks)

I would like to thank EACH and EVERY person that has helped out the past few weeks, to help support me.. I am blessed beyond belief.. Naomi, my fellow kindred spirit.. thank you for EVERY moment… I am so glad that it’s you that I’m going thru these changes with! My sister, my eternal sunshine.. thank you.. you have been the best sister! My parents.. thank you. Your love and kindness..I am a lucky woman! Cathy, Janet, Davina, Troy.. I hope I didn’t forget anyone.. for every person that helped get me thru this… physically, mentally, and spiritually.. I am the richest woman for having each of you in my life and I am grateful!

Anyway.. I will catch you all soon. Please fill me in on how your doing..

Ancora Imparo.

Love you all,

Kerilyn
