Pain in the neck...literally

So yesterday morning I woke up with a severe pain in my head and neck. Nothing I did all day would help aleviate the pain. When I got home I took some drugs that helped me go to sleep hoping that this morning I would be ok. Not so much, I still have a horrendous pain and my head still hurts a lot.

UGH.

Battle lost but not the WAR!

So today was the first time I have run in a while due to the wonder that is my freaking insanely busy life. It was a good run. I threw in an extra mile to see if I could accomplish the seemingly impossible. I am happy to say that I completed all 3 miles but I would have to say that this was a win for the run because it seriously kicked my butt. I was so tired by the time I was done that I thought I was going to die. It was as though every once of my being was sucked out due to exhaustion. I am now really tired. Yet, I made it through.

Halloween was the most fun I have ever had at a party. It was awesome! When we got there it was already packed. We only knew one other person at the party but we played games, enjoyed new experiences, observed costumes, laughed and talked with random individuals. I am not going to lie...I was REALLY paying for it on Sunday morning too when I thought my head might just explode and my feet might just fall off...I had an amazing evening out with my chicken.

Halloween

So my Halloween was one of those things that was filled with the good, the bad and the ugly.

The good:

I went to the best party ever. We had a ton of fun and there were a lot of people. I really enjoyed all the fun costumes, lively atmosphere, music, dancing, games, drinks and experiences. It was probably the most fun I have ever had at an adult party. I really had a great time.

The bad:

I had to work for the first part of the afternoon, evening and night so I missed out on the beginning of the partying hours. I showed up late and therefore a lot of time was lost and it was hard making up the ground in the beginning.

The ugly:

The current state of the Little Theatre...dude it is bad. In serious need of some cleaning and scrubbing.

Substitute Teacher

So I have a break in my day that is 4 hours long. During this break I am often at my parent's house working out and then showering, having lunch and then returning to school.

Well today I am a substitute teacher which means that I am working literally ALL day long from 7:30 in the morning to 6:00 tonight. That is 10 and a half hours of literal straight work. Not the figurative work that I do most other days. I also don't get to work out because I will be making sure kids don't burn down buildings and attempt to do some work. I have already had to take away 2 electronic devices because they are not allowed on campus during school hours. I currently have a student glaring at me because I took away his ipod at the beginning of the period. I am pretty sure he is playing with his phone now...apparently he doesn't learn very quickly.

Oh well. This is really easy work for a quite a bit more pay.

I am tired. This weekend is going to be rad though.

Fire Alarm

As we are all well aware the current state of weather is torrential down pour. It is raining heavy and steady.

This is the setting that somebody used to be funny and pull the fire alarm. That is right. This means that we have to evacuate.

My class ran out to their evacuation zone. we stood in the ran for 5 minutes. we were allowed back in. In that amount of time it was enough to make me more than soaked. My pants are literally drenched and my hair is now dripping down my back. I don't get to go home until 7:00 tonight...this is going to be fun soaking wet.

Week One

I Have finished week one of my new running program. I was so tired today and didn't want to run at all. I thought I was going to die every minute of it, but I finished. I ran the whole thing for the 3 days with doing other physical activities on the off days. I am tired but also excited that I get to move on to week 2 on Wed after another rest day.

I need to prepare for my CAHSEE prep class that I am going to start teaching now. Enjoy your day :)

Working out

So one of things that I have been doing lately is working out. I used to work out every day when I was in college. It always made me feel great and I loved the adrenaline in my system. I have started a new system where I am working out everyday. Some days are a whole lot harder than others. I started a new running program that I am doing just about every other day. I cannot do it every day because it is intense and there has to be a "rest" day between sessions. During my rest day yesterday I decided to do an ab routine. This was really hard. I did "Abs of Steel". Let me tell you. If I am dedicated enough to do this on a regular basis I am pretty sure I really will have abs of steel. The title does not lie. I was really really sore last night and then this morning I thought I was going to die if I had to move my back in the slightest. After today's run I am feeling a lot better. I really like working out. I hope that if I keep this up and seriously stay dedicated to it I will be able to lose some weight, inches and regret.

I know that this is something that I can do and I am hoping that I continue telling myself that every day. Day 3 went well. Despite the fact that I wanted my run to do itself I got out there and I am really glad I did. I feel great.
