Venture Christmas

This year I’m making some venture brother speed shirts. I made one and I have 4 more to go. I was able to find a super nice lady on etsy to embroider for me. I’m excited to get those back.

I’m currently sitting in Ardmore Acura getting an oil change, which was long overdue. They’re pretty nice here and I had a special that gave me a discount so I’m happy.

My student loans came due this month and I am dying. I was avoiding it but now it’s here. I don’t know what I’ll do. I’m not out of my funk yet, but I need to start working. I might look into a job in the city for now to get more hours in and hopefully money. 

I hate to be so cliché but I want to start exercising. Matt’s mom is getting me an iPod Nano with Nike+. I was looking at new running shoes too. I want to do this right. I NEED to stop complaining and get off my ass. I’m usually more talk and ideas but I need to set this in action. A girl from the frat has been on a huge workout kick and Lenny told me she looks so good. She apparently lost 50” off her body! That’s ridiculous. I just can’t believe she got that done during school. Lenny agrees with me that it sounds absurd.

It can be done. I need to do this for myself and stop feeling bad.

My brother got me sick so I’m in the middle of recovery. It is the worst reason to not do anything. The most useless I could ever be. I’m fighting it with lots of drugs though. Lots of drugs.

Keep fighting. Keep fighting.

No matter how far, run for all you’re worth. Run.

Emergency Month

Here goes. It’s been a long time since I’ve updated (not as long as I’ve ever gone though). To update things where we left off, I have decided not to go back to school. I just started prozac a few days ago, and I have no idea what I’m doing.

There hasn’t been too much more beyond that. I keep feeling terrible about myself but I’m trying to change that. On a fun note, I had some extra lobster meat (yeah, more lobster than I knew what to do with) so I pulled up a recipe for Lobster Mac & Cheese.

Mmmm...

This upcoming month, Matt will be living at home to do his emergency medicine rotation. He asked if I would go with him and spend the month up there. I couldn’t sleep last night but I was also thinking of all the things I could do. His brother will be at school and then he, his mother and step-dad will all be at work so I will have the place to myself. I would like to make this my opportunity to do something good for myself. They have an elliptical and resistance band machine in the basement, but they also live on a resort so there’s opportunity for me to go out for runs, biking and such. There’s a pool but I’m not a fan of the public, and you need a membership for the actual gym there. I am hoping that I can pretend someone reads this and upload my progress to help myself stay on track and get myself back. It’s a lot easier to imagine things than actually do them. Maybe I’ll read a book on the trail and take some pictures while I’m out there.

I decided against the humiliating option to take a picture of myself to see the before and after. I might just take the scale with me.

Speaking of reading, I’ve been on the reddit funnies a lot. It’s a good way to pass the time, honestly. There’s a mix of the immature witty sarcastic AND intelligent humor. Ok. So I need to start packing and find food. I’ll come back to update again later.
