Working, working...

So I'm on a 6 day work week. I'm working 6 days in a row but unfortunately for my paycheck those six days fall into two different pay periods so no extra cash, just all the extra work. I'm drained.

Nothing exceptional has happened  but such is my life and I really kind of like it that way. I'm not into the whole drama and managing constant crisis' coming my way. I like quiet. Normal. Predictable.

Thanksgiving was me and the husband working so we didn't actually have a Thanksgiving dinner. We're going to do that probably this coming Tuesday, when we both have a day off from work that falls on the same day.

So I guess I have kind of forgotten already about this blog. I'm not in the habit yet. Hopefully soon. I'm also having trouble with exactly how much of my life, feelings and events to share with you. I've always believed that being totally honest was the best way to write a journal. I mean, if you're going to read it to look back on the months/years of your past, it's obvious that you should be as honest and open as possible to truly remember the way things were. Self discovery can only come from being honest.

I just have had a lot in my life the last year, and not all of it is necessarily something that I've shared with anyone. Maybe some of it is hard to share because I don't end up looking good in the story. I don't know. I want to write about it. I want this to be a place I can share it but there's so much judgement online. You open yourself up to haters, judgmental people, and criticism. I'm not the type of person that handles all that too well. Most people don't.

I just don't know.. I need more time to think it over.

I don't wanna go to school Mommy

I don't want to head down the mountain to go to school tonight. I want to curl up under the covers, stay warm, and watching Netflix. Unfortunately, I know that we are going over the second half of chapter 14 in my Psychology class and I can't really miss something like that. So, off to school I'll go.

My Intro to Psychology class is pretty awesome. I'm already interested in the subject matter but my teacher just makes it so much more fun in learning it. I love teachers that have that gift of making dry text and subject matter seem interesting and fun. Why can't all teachers be that way? I really lucked out with him too because when I picked the class, I had no idea about any of the teachers. His first name is Jeremy and I figured that was a relatively "modern" name so maybe he might not be an 80 year old profession of Dull and Boring. Turns out, my logic was right. He's fabulous.

I have to take Himself to work. We only have one car so in order for me to get to class, I have to take him into work. It sucks having to drive all the way into town, then come home, then drive all the way down the mountain again.

At least I finished my homework in time! Alright, speaking of time. I should start to get ready to head out. Just when I was starting to get warm too... the man has built a fire and things are finally getting toasty.

Trying this again?

So I seem to always come back to Blogger for my online diary needs. I've had several of my own domain names and have always preferred WordPress, but when the money runs out, so does the online journal. I'm tired of losing journals. Months... years even, worth of words; of life. I'm sure it would have probably helped if I had backed up my journals but you know, that was smart.

So I'm back to Blogger. As far as free online journals go, I think this is the best one. I used Penzu for a while and it was decent but Blogger just gives you so much more.

I don't really know what direction I want to take this journal in. I have always kept an online journal for my weight loss journey, and when I wasn't trying to lose weight... I didn't seem to have as much motivation to write. Sometimes life seemed interesting or busy enough to share, but not always. So I guess I'll just see where this journal goes. Whatever life or flavor it takes on will remain to be seen.

I'm not sure if anyone will read this journal... and that's not really the point. The point is to document the things going on in my life and to give me a place to reflect. Not only that but I want to look back years from now and really remember what life was like, not what I *think* it was like in a skewed memory.

So here's crossing my fingers that I get back into the whole 'journal' thing.
