Win the lottery

Wow, has it really been over a year since I posted anything?  GUESS SO. So much has happened in the past year.

So where to begin.....

I guess I'll start with updating from the last blog I wrote. So I graduated college..woohoo!!! I didn't do the internship but it doesn't matter. Just as long as I graduated that was all that mattered to me. I didn't go to Greece but did go to Hawaii instead. Was the best trip EVER!!! I have to go back!! My knee is doing awesome even though I never went back to the doc. I sort of was not single for about 6-7 months and went almost broke (again) because of it. So, in May I started working at Massage Heights after the "relationship" ended because I needed money. But I'll get to that in a minute.  So still single and living with the parents but not broke. Lol. It's not so bad. If I could just win the lottery though.....if only.

After the last blog or maybe it was before I found out that my ex-boyfriend Adam died of a drug overdose. As many of you know he was not good to me or for me and I was miserable. When I heard he died it was like a weight was lifted and my life could be happy again even though I hadn't seen or talked to him in over a year and we had been broken up for 3 yrs. And it was happy until...another guy came into my life and sad to say he was pretty much exactly like Adam, minus the drugs. I felt like I was having deju-vu after we ended things because same things kept happening that happened with Adam after we broke up. So glad that is over and now that I've been with the same type twice maybe a good guy will come along now. I at least now know the warning signs and will not fall for that low life type again But I can say I am happier being single. I've always been happier single and have never seen myself getting married. Just being a single mom....and hopefully being able to foster or adopt several kids in the future. But again I have to win the lottery....if only.

School went well  for the most part. A bit stressful here and there but I got through it and graduated this past August. No, I don't miss school at all!!! But I do miss my fellow students and a few professors. It's nice not having stress in your life. My body doesn't know what to do with itself.  I lost weight, about 30 lbs, then school ended and I've gained back almost half that. But either way I'm glad to be done with school....FOREVER!!! No to pay off the student loans I acquired. Need to win the lottery.....soon!!

I need to get on a workout schedule since my knee is doing so well. I kind of have the food part down (sort of)....have some days where its not so good but the exercise is key. I keep saying "I am going to go home and put on my workout clothes and go jogging around the street/block" and then never do. I also say "I am going to do 50 sit ups while I'm home watching movies at night" and again I never do. I'm so lazy once I get home and I blame my parents for instilling that in me. I do however clean a lot, more than they do. But that's just me. I'm a neat freak!! I don't even allow the maid that comes every other week into my room. Yeah I'm that bad. But when it comes to weight loss I am at a loss. I have tried apps powders, shakes, and other things but they just don't seem to work well for me. What works is eating right, portion size, and working out without feeling like I am working out. If I could play sports or just do something outside like hiking or riding a bike then that would work just fine for me. I need a bike. Winning the lottery will help with that.....if only.

So I have been working at Massage Heights since May (5 months) and will probably will be working there for about another year. I do want to eventually get a job as a probation officer and see how I much I really like it. I really want to do juvenile probation but might need to start off with adults and then transfer. But that's still about a year away. On top of that I have really reliable clients and I don 't want to leave them high and dry. So I decided that if and when I do get a job as a probation officer that I will work at Massage Heights on the weekends only and work during the week as a probation officer. If that is at all possible. I wouldn't have any days off so that will be rough but hey it's money and the Lord knows I need it. Unless....I win the lottery....if only.

I think I have run out of things to say for now. But I am distracted since I am watching Firefly episodes. I need to get the movie. Anyway, until next time...
