We only have a couple of hours left of the month. I'm slightly cranky today and have been most of the day. Work is nuts for end of month and I didn't get a good nights sleep last night. Plus, I'm not always a peach when I plan and expect my time to go one way but last minute have things unexpectedly change in a way I don't want. (Was supposed to go to the boyfriends house after his class at the gym. Didn't see a text from him that he didn't go and when I called, he was sleeping already. SO... not going over now, which is what I was planning on and expecting all day.)
I'm just spent. Work has been insane. Shoveling against the tide and not going anywhere. I'm a bit burnt out and extremely frustrated by things not going right, even when I ask for help or say that things aren't right. I want and need a vacation. Just time out of town. I've been trying to get it to happen and to plan something with the boyfriend... but so far, no go. I'm hoping for the weekend after New Years. Just to go ANYWHERE not home. That's all. I need a break from... from everything!
Christmas is now 25 days away. I have restaurant gift certificates left and that's it. I'm going to order 2 online next week and the last two are local, so I can even pick those up on Christmas Eve if I want. Oh, and I have the work crap too... $ for this, $ for that, $ for a 3rd thing, then the Yankee Swap.
I even ordered the boyfriends Christmas gift which is getting delivered to work tomorrow. SO glad I called to see how big the boxes would be. Yeah, I was told 15-20 pounds. Um ok. NO. Per the FedEx email... the 3 boxes? 6 pounds, 14 pounds, and 52 POUNDS! Yes, that's right, 52 POUNDS! How am I getting that out of my car and up the stairs into my apartment by myself? Really now?
Today I went online and registered for one class for the fitness thing. This is a sort of "pre" class to the group fitness certification for people who don't have much experience teaching, like me. I still need to talk to my mom. I told her that for Christmas, all I wanted was for her to pay for the three classes I want to take in February. They are $99 each. After that, I'll order the books I need and pay for the 2 online classes I'll need to do before the February class. That'll be another $250 I think. But $250 is much easier than $550! So hopefully she'll still agree to do it and I can get registered soon to make sure I secure my spot in those 3 classes.
I'm still brainstorming ideas for fundraising, which is going really well. I need to work out a few more details of things and then reach out and ask for help from a few people. I want to do a fund raising party at a all, with a band. SO... I know the band I want, but I have to ask her if she is willing. Then, I need to reach out and find a venue for either free or super cheap. I have a few ideas and some contacts, so we'll see how that goes. And I have a few raffle ideas and other fundraising party stuff too... plus a couple of backup bands if the one I want doesn't work out.
I haven't been doing enough brainstorming about what I want to do for fitness training or how I could do this. I just haven't been focused enough on it. I really need to put more time and energy into that one. This is important and what I want to do with my future, so I really need to put more into it.
And with my training too. I have to run tomorrow... blew it off tonight. I was SO tired and I'm still sore from Monday's kickboxing class (didn't go tonight because of both reasons). I really need to start stepping it up! This is getting scary!
Not to much else I guess. Just spreading myself too thin. I guess that's typical of me. But now it is really starting to wear on me. I'm tired. I'm burnt out and I'm overwhelmed with everything. I want a break. And its frustrating because I'm not sure if that is going to happen or not.
Oh well.
SO on to my December goals...
1. Run. Train. Consistently. How's that for a goal?
2. Watch my spending. Keep money in the bank and be reasonable with where my money is going.
3. Make solid plans for a fundraising party, including securing a venue and band as well as a few raffle prizes.
4. Have a plan for fitness training ready to go for New Years.
5. Stick with kickboxing. Only miss one more for the class I'm doing on December 10th. Otherwise, go to the remaining 9 that are paid for.
That's it. That's all I got!
