As busy as I was this morning, today has been dragging by awfully slowly. I accomplished many things in the first half of the day and can relax and take my time with whatever else comes my way. Later I will be working on some PDF pages I'm making for the department website; but for some of the pages there is simply not much I can do. How do you make a description of the wastewater treatment process look pretty and colorful, and not sound disgusting? You don't.
Thankfully, I can take a breather school-wise for a bit. I've read the entire textbook, turned in all my assignments and this past Tuesday I presented my final project. Next week is exam review and the following week is the final. Then I have a few days off before the Summer semester starts. I am taking the Fall semester off so I can take care of some things and get some others squared away. As much as I want to hurry up and finish school, I am really looking forward to the break (and not becoming burned out).
Lots of busy times are coming up! The boys' birthday parties are next weekend and I just found out Katie's bridal shower is the 30th. I need to take my dress in to be altered within the next few weeks and boy, do I EVER need to go to the gym. I am heading there tomorrow after work and I am really excited. I have about a month and a half before the wedding; so while I don't know how much of a change it will make, I'm going to do what I can as often as I can to trim and tone up. Hopefully getting some exercise will help speed up my post-surgery nonexistent metabolism and I can take off those last 10 or so pounds in the next few months. I say months because I know how my body works - there is a reason it took me 2 years to lose 50 pounds. I've already come farther than I ever imagined was possible; I really just need to work on becoming (and staying!) more active.
Jeff and I have made a deal to start cooking together in May once his classes are over. I'm not sure what my workload will be with Economics, but that class is over June 20th. I am looking forward to finding recipes we both like that are healthy and yummy. When we find some good ones I will post them. I need to work a little bit on my eating habits as they have slid downhill somewhat since the holidays. I've been using my willpower this week to really watch what I snack on and when (especially trying to eliminate sweets - my mom is too good of a baker for my own good). I plan on doing the Isagenix cleanse hopefully before the wedding; if it doesn't work out that way, I should start right after. That way Jeff and I can really get into cooking once my class is over ; )
I'm hoping we can do something that at least resembles vacation this summer. I haven't taken any time off from work in about a year (except for illness and surgery) and I could use a break! Lots to think about!
