Two days in a row delivering packages and I have never felt more tired in my life. The trail didn’t even compare to this.
Goodnight.

Long but Fun Day
I woke up around 8:30 this morning and planned on hitting the gym, but last week i signed up to be a drivers helper for a delivery service and this morning they came a-calling. After 7 hours of running packages this is my state of mind
I finally tried this weird oatmeal thing i got as swag at a race, it was a quick dose of food which was awesome but oatmeal applesauce is odd.
It didn’t taste bad but it’s not something i would get on a normal basis. But I was able to suck it down in between stops so major props on that and it kept me going for awhile.
After work the boyfriend took me out to a buffet for dinner becuase i was STARVING!!!!
Then we watched Star Wars number 4, a new hope in preparation for the new one tomorrow. Tonight is the first star wars i have watched all the way through……
Amd now it’s time for me to pass out.
How was your Friday?
A new Adventure
Well another life adventure is underway, yesterday afternoon i got fired from my job. First time in my life I have ever been fired, it was not pleasant.
I feel very betrayed by several people in how it happened but that is life. That is all I am going to say about the job. I will focus on the positives this is a new opportunity for me! I haven’t been happy at my job in a long time, friendships I thought would hold true fell apart when I left to hike the trail and were never mended, so c’est la vie.
I can now focus on setting myself up with a job or jobs that I like. The 9-5 grind is not my dream so I am working on making my dreams come true. I’ll keep you posted as things advance.
I Sit at a Desk All Day
Happy Thursday!!!!!
I don’t know about you but I sit at a desk all day, and as they are starting to tell us, that is bascially a death sentance. So I Googled some stretches you can easily (and inconspicuously) do at your desk. I have started doing them and they do help and feel good.
Obviously this feels super great since i am a runner and it stretches your IT bands.
This feel super great, especially if i slept funny and my back is tweaked.
These are awesome too to get the blood flowing and wake me back up in the afternoon.
Stretching is sooooo good for you, whether you sit at a desk or not get it some stretching today!!!!
Check in with a comment when you have stretched!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A relaxing morning, a planned hike and guilt
Yes! Thursday is half way through and tomorrow is Friday! I am really looking forward to Friday at 6pm, not just because work is over but because I have a running date!!!!! This is going to be like my perfect date and I am super stoked, I just wish it wasn’t going to be 90, but oh well. But more on that tomorrow night.
After running twice yesterday I slept in this morning, oh man I needed it. And I got some puppy cuddles which was wonderful.
It is my lunch right now so I used the emergency $5 I have started keeping tucked in my purse (for when my funds run out before my next paycheck)
And bought myself a much needed starbucks
Now I am sitting in the shade of starbucks relaxing before I have to go back to work. I needed to get away from the office and take a deep breathe.
Anywho on an awesome note my roommate and I have planned our labor day hike!!!!! I think it’s going to be amazing!!!! Difficult I’m sure but awesome. The guilt comes from the fact that dogs aren’t allowed on this trail so the pups have to be left behind. Artemis will be mad at me.
I can’t believe Artemis and I are coming up on our 1 year anniversary!!! I got her in November of last year. We’ll have to do something special.
Big shout out to my awesome mom who is tiding me over until my next paycheck. Moving wiped out my finances this month and I know some overdraft fees would be coming if she wasn’t helping me out and a shout out to my brother who is sending me some money at the beginning of next month to help get me started on the right foot next month.
Thank goodness for family. I don’t know where I would be without them.
And now I should start thinking about heading back to work……..but I really dont want to. I want to go home to my puppy.
Crappy morning
I slept in this morning which was wonderful but at 7:30 on the dot workmen showed up to work on the other burned out half of the Duplex, finally.
Remember that?
The workmen showing up isn’t the problem, the problem is that my poor puppy was scared out of her mind! She does not do well with loud noises. She was shaking so bad.
I wrapped her up on the couch
If I held her close she would stop shaking
This sad mommy did not want to leave her baby to go to work. I am stressed out!
It is going to be a long day because I am going to be worried about her.
On another note, I tried a sample of protien powder this morning, cookies and cream flavored, it’s like they know me!!!!!
I love cookies and cream ice cream so this was right up my alley.
It has actual cookie bits in it! I’m excited about that.
It is pretty tasty.
I may consider ordering some of this to supplement my vega chocolate and greens for a little change now and then.
It is whey protien which I don’t love but if I only take it now and then it shouldn’t be too bad.
What kind of protien powder do you like?
Favorite flavor?
I tend to be chocolate all the way but I haven’t tried too many others, mostly because I want a vegan protien powder for my main protien. But I think I will be branching out a bit.
Time to pick out next week’s meals!!!
Good morning!!!
I trades shifts with a coworker so I can get off early because I have family in town so I got to work before the sun was up
I love getting here early, I feel like I get so much more done.
On Fridays I pick out my meals for next week so I can prep over the weekend.
Pintrest is my best friend on Fridays.
I am going to make the lettuce taco boats again from last week because they were soooooo delicious.
Meal #2 will be sweet chili pineapple chicken with veggies over rice.
Meal #3 will be a Mediterranean pasta salad that I am going to add shredded chicken to.
Snack #1 will be celery with peanut butter
#2 will be this!!!
Do you do meal prep??
Happy Sunday!
Worked 4.5 hours at the Tulip festival then came home and did nothing and it was wonderful.
OK so I did a few things, I made a big vat of chickenless chicken noodle soup
That gives me 4 lunches this week and 4 servings in the freezer.
I did some dishes and wrote some post cards.
It’s May Day!!!!
I burned a candle from the time I got home and just blew it out on this great day associated with passion and love to find my perfect match. It smells delicious like a sexy man. It seriously smells like rugged man Cologne so I figured it was appropriate hahahahaha!!!
Now off to bed, I have a 6am training appt.
How was your weekend?
Tuesday tangents
Hi!!!
Well yesterday was the first day back after the holidays and first work day of the new year. After that snow ‘storm’ aka dusting everything got icy and froze.
I had to slowly roll each window down and break the ice layer.
The parking lot at work was pretty much empty lol.
But as it defrosted my view was beautiful!!
Today’s running tip.
About 2 years ago i subrscribed to one of those monthly delivery boxes like bark box but full of girly products that were also eco friendly. It was $15/month called eco emi. I am still working my way through stuff lol. I am almost out of face wash and I keep forgetting to pick some up…thank goodness for these little extras
On the dating front I have started and stopped talking to 2 guys so far. I think we stopped talking because i have tattoos and want more………one for sure we stopped talking because i want sleeves one day and i think the other one pretty much for the same reason because all of a sudden he said he had a change of heart and was conservative……and no mom, we weren’t talking dirty or anything!!!!!!
The single photo i had sent was of the vine tattoo on my foot, nothing kinky about that. Apperently it’s gonna be reaaaaaal fun this time around.
How was your first day back to work?
