Day Three

Posted on by jeanneji

So day 3 is here and I feel pretty exhausted overall. I got up and just had no energy. Today is my workout off-day. I decided to try and fix James’s PS3 but something wasn’t going right. I hooked mine up instead and it’s updating now but I feel bad that I couldn’t completely revive the system Sad smile

On other news. Matt told me he didn’t pass his Step 2 Sad smile Super frown on that one. I feel terrible and I wish there was something that I could do to help, but what can I do?

We’ll see how the rest of the night goes. I haven’t done a whole lot today, but it’s just one of those days.

Day Two

Posted on by jeanneji

So it’s day two here at the house. I did a half hour on the elliptical, with no pre-set program. I watched The Price is Right during the session. Then they have a Gold’s Gym resistance band machine. Like many females, I’m not really upper body built. I worked my bi’s, tri’s, lats and delts. it’s a pretty cool machine. I watched Emeril’s Table during that one. I took my shower and took the time to groom myself kind of. Then I went and got Kenobi to come out from under Matt’s bed and sit outside with me for a little bit. I have no idea what to do with the dog since she’s got her electric fence collar on and we can’t go for a walk. I was about to grab a snack and when I came back she was eating! This dog is known for not eating so I said I wouldn’t eat and tempt her with people food if she was going to eat. She finished the bowl. I’m really excited.

Now it’s a little past noon and I have no idea what to do with myself. I was thinking about going for a walk or something outside but I don’t have a house key; I don’t want to leave the place unlocked either. Maybe there’s a key somewhere. I can’t get the garage door to work for me so that’s not something I want to rely on and then get trapped outside.

It’s so peaceful here. I have the house to myself today. I wish I had some project/crafting thing or just something I wanted to do. Matt thinks it’s flo’s fault for my tiredness, but I’m not so sure. I don’t recall her being like this. We’ll see in a day or so though.

Ps. Did I mention how bad the internet is out here? Ugh.

Day One

Posted on by jeanneji

So this is my first day up in Hazelton. Jim missed his alarm and missed his one class so I’m not home alone. I got to go on the elliptical this morning and did one of the calorie pre-sets. I will admit it was tougher than I was expecting, but I’m also recovering from illness so I’d like to think that I’m not completely ready for a full fledged workout. Excuses? You decide.

I’m trying to take it easy at the moment. The weather has been pretty crummy so I haven’t tried to leave the house. The dog keeps sleeping under Matt’s bed so she doesn’t want to hang out. I was thinking of maybe being computer productive. Work on my website maybe. I wanted to read up on my camera since I don’t know all that it can do.

The prozac is neutral right now. I’m just still feeling crappy overall and I may be a little paranoid of the itch that may or may not come about. Matt says it should have already happened, but that’s not usually how my body works. We’ll see. I have been so exhausted the past few days. No real desire to do anything, really. I’d really like a change in myself. Here’s to hoping.

Side note: Season Finale of Futurama 🙂

Nidoran

Posted on by jeanneji

I’m sitting here watching NY Ink right now. Of course, I’ve only seen a few episodes, and these are it. Whatever. Lately Matt and I have been thinking about ink and such. He had a few things that he’s set on for himself if he could get home, but we had an idea. It’s a tough idea, but just think couples tattoo. He is firmly against name tattoos (I understand) but this is different. Pokemon tattoos. Hahah. It was a joke at first but it’s a really sweet idea. We each get a Nidoran, ♂ and ♀. I’ll get the male to represent him (plus it’s cuter) and he’ll get the female for me.

The line art is probably like what we’re leaning, but I like the other images too. I’m about to go vacuum my car (he has a dyson too, did I mention that?) and then hit the gym. I NEED to get back in better shape than where I let myself go. We’re going on vacation at the end of the week. I know I can’t drastically change by then, but I can start. Change is change. I need to get out of this habit of getting somewhere and then letting myself go. I mentioned it to Matt but I was going to the gym before I met him. Given, I stopped because of my rash, but I put on so much weight since then. I was in much better shape just 2 months ago. This is bullshit. My goal is less talk and more action. Stop being such a fatass, Jeanne.

Change in Direction

Posted on by jeanneji

Wow. I’ve never really been one for Sex In The City, but right now I feel like Carrie Bradshaw. I am basically living here with Matt. I know, it’s been a while. But I finished out my semester. There’s a lot of school drama with that, actually, but I’m looking to see if I even get to pass the semester. That’s not like me. Things have changed dramatically. I’ve been such a mess. You could say that I lost my footing and the Matt thing is throwing me off and I’ve neglected school because of him, but he’s been good for my mental health. He’s a doctor. Haha

Anyway, the Carrie thing. I’ve been here a lot. I’m sitting in the kitchen on my new computer. I’m writing and he was sweeping in the kitchen and just hanging out. I feel like a writer, sitting back and just doing my thing. This is a really cool satisfying feeling, actually. I like it a lot. I feel so independent. I’m just here, pretty much doing things on my own. But I honestly have the best boyfriend in the world. He is so much more than I could have ever hoped for. I am so happy with him. I can’t say I’m completely happy because I’ve been having trouble with myself- but that’ a work in progress.

He’s so crazy and nerdy. He pretty much completes me. I encouraged him to drink the other day after we both had really long weeks and he started letting some things slip(?) about if we end up married or if I take his hand. I honestly wouldn’t mind that. He’s good for me. The only thing is that his friend got married after only knowing a girl for 3 months. He doesn’t want to do things like that, but I get the feeling this is pretty solid. I’m just enjoying myself in the mean time. Next weekend is the start of our vacation. We’re going down to his family’s place in North Carolina (10 hour drive) for a few days, then we’re driving out to Ocean City, MD (9 hour drive) for about a week to ourselves. I’m super excited. I really need this.

He’s preparing dinner right now. Things are great. We’re going to watch jeopardy. I’ll try to keep this updated more often. Peace out
