Changes

Since I last wrote an entry, there have been a few changes, especially at work. My shift has changed to an earlier one. I have to be at work now by 5:30am on most mornings, which means I have to be up no later than 4am. And I have to be on the road by 4:45am. At first, I liked the idea of this new schedule because I'm home before 3pm, but I'm tired by the time I get home. I try to settle down early for the night and be in bed at a decent hour, but I'm more of a night owl, and I'll be lucky to get more than five hours of sleep. My Sundays have been more low-key these days, and if we go out and do anything, we're home by 6pm. If anything, I've settled into a routine of preparing my lunch, ironing my work clothes the evening before, and the like. I guess that's a good thing.

I also applied to a promotional position at work early this month, which I got! I'm really excited since I've been coveting this spot for a few years now. It'll be a few weeks till I start, and I'll be starting at a later time. Until then, I'm on the early shift.

A few weeks ago, I started a 9-week walking/running program called "Cto5.K". I'm at my heaviest weight *sigh*, and I think this will help me commit to working out, I hope. I haven't been eating healthy, either. It's been three weeks, and I've hit a stumbling block. I just have to keep telling myself that I've accomplished this before. I hope I can do it again...

Friday 5

1. Of the five weekdays, which is the easiest to get through?
Hands down, Friday is the easiest to get through because I have the weekend to look forward to.

2. Which of the five little piggies is the most bizarrely characterized?
The piggy who had roast beef. It's rather comical to picture that.

3. Of fire, earth, metal, water, and wood, from which do you draw your power?
I'd would probably have to say water. I can be rather calm and fluid, or mad and rushed.

4. Haribo Gummy Bears come in five flavors: pineapple (white), strawberry (green), raspberry (red), lemon (yellow) and orange (orange). Which is your favorite?
It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'll say pineapple.

5. Which of the five basic tastes (sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and savoriness) best describes your personality?
I'm a little of everything.
