Current Conditions

Yesterday was a day of firsts.

Johnny called me to meet for lunch/breakfast/brunch. Whichever is the correct classification for being hungover and eating breakfast food at lunchtime. That was the first time we have spoken in two months. I really wasn't sure what to expect, but he was nice to me.

I hung out for the first time with a new boy who is waaay cute. It was almost distracting. I know I was smiling a lot; he was, too. We hit it off really well. The conversation was really great and easy and we have a lot of common interests and ideals. We went to the forest preserve and his dog came along, too! We hiked through the snow to the lagoon and the spillway and saw some ducks and lots of deer tracks. It was really cool b/c of the snow, we could see forever it seemed, into the forest, but no one else was around, and everything was quiet and serene.

I got into my first car accident. With half the streets up here unplowed, sometimes the car just wont stop! The SUV in front of me stopped abruptly at a red light, and i didn't have any chance for traction under my tires. Her car didn't even budge, but mine is fucked! Luckily no one was hurt, but add the car repairs to the ever-growing list of bullshit i have to pay for right now. Good thing I start that second full-time job starting next week?

I made sugar cookies yesterday. This was the first time for this recipe. I think they turned out quite alright! I made stars and trees. I thought I had food coloring, but I didn't so the icing is white, which is fine. Some of the stars were sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar on top, and some of the trees have a red gel glaze decoration on them. I was invited to a party this evening and going to take them to that. We'll see. It's frigid outside, and I kinda just want to stay indoors.

My grade was finally posted on the school website, and I got an A in physics, so that is excellent! I worked my butt off in that class. My presentation on the drag coefficients of swimsuit materials and cuts was excellent, and the time I put into that obviously paid off.

Right now I am not enrolled for next semester, which is disappointing. I am considering putting the tuition on my credit card, but not until a few days before class starts, if there is still a spot available. That way I won't have to pay it off on my card until the end of February.

I still can't work out. I feel like piece of shit. I haven't gained any weight (I'm a Furkin; the genes just won't allow it!), but my arms are noticiably smaller and everything is less tone/hard. I miss cardio the most. I want to run on the treadmill or spin. Get my heart rate up and sweat it out a bit. My booty does have a certain "thwack" to it that wasn't there before. Maybe now the boys will come to the yard?
