Today was a day full of all sorts of things. I am in a much better mood today. I woke up and got productive!
I twittered away a lot of the day, gaining like 50 followers for my tween blog site, revamped both the blog site AND A Real Girl (I moved everything back to wordpress, free=good) and I wrote a new article for my tween site that got a new comment! According to my typepad stats for the tween site today (before I moved it), I had 120 visitors to my site! That’s awesome! I am so excited!
I think those visitors are mostly due to my intense twittering today and follower gain. I think they were all wondering what this BrookieB_ person on twitter kept talking about and promoting. Either way, if I can keep this up, I will be in GREAT shape with the site soon.
On another note, I bought some clothes today… something that I desperately needed to do. I bought 2 pairs of jeans (one for now and one the next smaller size since I’m losing weight!), 6 shirts and a pair of flip flops. I got all those things for about $105.00. Hooray for Ann Taylor Loft! Nice buys! I really like the sutff I got and they will really help me get through the rest of the summer without wearing the same 4 shirts over and over again. ‘Cause seriously, who wants to do that???
My mom seemed happier today. She went out shopping with me and got a few things done around the house. I felt really good about her day… she really seems to have bounced back a lot. That’s awesome, but it sucks we already have to do another chemo treatment a week from today… She has her next one on July 2. We’ll get through it though, and this time will hopefully be eaier because we’ll know what to expect and some of the kinks will have been worked out thanks to trial and error with medicines.
I came back to my apartment tonight and will probably be here until the chemo starts back next week. It feels good to be in my own space. It also feels good to be able to get some work done for my classes. I took a botany quiz that will be due tomorrow this evening… I wanted to get it out of the way. I also have a botany midterm due tomorrow in the testing center at the community college… I hope I do alright. This class has so many terms to learn and things to memorize… things I am not the best at! And lately, my head has definitely been places other than botany. Oh well… I am going to get up in the morning and study/cram as much as I can, then just go get it over with. I’d rather fail quickly than spend a bunch of time preparing to fail!
I went to the gym today… as I have been most days lately. I burned 1000 calories on the cross-trainer. When I woke up this morning and got on my parent’s scale… it was fluctuating a lot and I was not very happy with what I saw. I am working SO HARD everyday… eating the right foods and the right amounts of calories and burning a bunch of calories at the gym. And still, I am not losing any weight. I can’t figure it out! The thing is though, while the scale shows very little loss, I really do think I am losing… today when I bought my jeans, I tried on the size I normally wear, but they normally have to be the “stretch” kinds for them to fit. The pair I bought was not stretch and they fit great. So, if those fit, I know I must be losing weight. And if I’m losing weight, why isn’t it showing on the scale? I know people say you gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat, but seriously, I can’t be gaining that much muscle. C’mon scale, make me happy tomorrow! (Please?)
Finally, rest in peace Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. I can’t believe Michael died. Very strange. And for Farrah, she was ahead of my time, but no one deserves to suffer the way she did. Two icons died today, and they will both be missed.
