The silence is welcomed...

It is nice to wake to the sound of birds and nothing else! It is a very blessed day. No air blowers; no fighter jets flying by; no green-harvest helicopters scoping out the mountainside; no sanders or bandsaws; no lawn mowers; just NOTHING. ***sigh***

I do admit that I often fill my days with noise; music, tv, the computer. But rising to this calm and quiet environment is simply heavenly. ***sigh***

Yesterday, I had minimal obligations:
I checked my email and posted some work.
Returned my book at the library on time (no late fees this time!).
Got ready to meet a friend.
Had a pedicure & a mini foot massage.
Had a haircut & a mini head massage.
Ate meat.
Came home and watched last nights True Blood episode.

***sigh***
What a fabulous day! I feel ready for my cleanse (which I'm about to start in a week.)

Today...well, after assessing my workload again, I will have another relaxing and stress-free day! No real agenda, but I would like to get some things done like:
Wash my bedding.
Finish that DVD project for my cousin (I'm so behind on this one!).
Research the best e-reader to purchase.
Finish that healthcare paperwork.
Bake in the sun.

Yup, sounds like another blissful day. Thank you!

Where's the moolah?

I have a little break...15 days and counting. 15 days until my brain must begin to retain loads of information. As daunting as returning to school sounded, I keep reminding myself that I'm almost done. Not really, but with time slipping by, it seems like I'm almost done.

So what to do on my days off? Well, I don't have extra funds for a trip (booo!). Used some tax return money to go to Vegas last month, and I had to also pay state taxes (another booo!). So, I'm on limited funds and need to make more money. I heard somewhere about constantly thinking about "checks in the mail." I do, but the checks are slow to come in. I sometimes think I need to get another part-time job, but it will take away from my important studies, I can't risk that. So in the meantime, I dream about that far off land of bliss. Without the funds, I am left to daydreaming, tanning in the backyard, and catching up the lost and forgotten projects. Man, I wish life was easier and less complicated sometimes!

Today is a beautiful and gorgeous day; but uh, I need some gas to get anywhere. Where's the moolah?
