Long time, no talk to! I’ve been busy, busy, busy. Well, maybe a little more lazy, lazy, lazy. But ummm…I can do that from time to time. Shoot. Anyone who knows me knows, I’ve probably done a full days work by 11 o’clock. Well, dog on it, it caught up with me. Last week was a very lazy week. I can’t even pretend that I did anything extra outside of the things I already had to do. I worked out, clean up and threw out things that just were no longer needed in the drawers or cabinets. (For this upcoming move.) Why was there four empty shampoo bottles in my cabinet? Chile! What do I be doing? Then there’s Naomi. So, that right there, just alone is a hand full. Just saying her name, haha. #MyLittleBit. She’s getting older now so it seems like we are doing more things. We walk 3-5 miles daily, and that’s outside of my workout, which is 5 miles. My cupcake LOVES to be outside! Loves it! So, if the weather says it’s a go, then it’s a go. I did do a lot of reading last week too. I just got two books from the library, by two of my favorite authors. I have to read them before we move. So, I’ve been finishing up the other two books that I am currently reading. Then I have my everyday Joyce Myers, Get Your Hopes Up read. I read that book every morning for sure. Some days I may read it twice a day. I absolutely love that book. I know it will be a book that I will read over and over again. That book is a reminder of choosing to be happy. Remember, happiness is a choice!
I felt pretty guilty last week for doing a little less then usual. But I know with everything going on I have plenty of time to be tired. I decided to tell myself to be thankful for some down time, ya know. My birthday is coming up, as well as Naomis. I’m super excited about that! Soooo much is happening at once I feel like. But, I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. I love to travel. Learn new things, meet new people. The list goes on! I’m just so thankful (as I’ve said before.) to be able to do it with the love of my life, and my whittle peanut. I’m glad she too, can experience these things. She may be very young, but I will take enough pictures for our scrap books, and keep enough ink pens at hand to write in her journal.
I am nervous, being this is my first time moving and all. I feel like I am going in circles. And if my husband explains one more thing in military talk, I am going to scream. Chile, speak English! I reckon I’ll learn more when we get on base.
You know the unknown can be kind of scary. But I could never be more excited! I am looking forward to all great things, and new happenings. I’ve been to the West Coast on vacations. But I’ve never lived there, so. #Exciting! I have a few things on my to- do list that I want to get done before we depart from there to go to the next duty station. And school is one of them. I really do miss school, a lot. These past three years has been the first time ever in my life that I haven’t been enrolled in school, or taking some type of course for some type of certification. Not to mention me volunteering. I’ve always volunteered, at a very young age too. I’ve been racking my husbands brains about getting back into volunteering at the hospital on base. Now that recruiting duty is almost over with, I actually have options. I just cannot wait. Like, I am so anxious!
Now, you already know the devil be trying to creep up in my mind with fearful thoughts. Ya know, about the newness of everything. Things are about to change big time. Being in school being a mommy and a wife is going to be very new to me. I thought homework was a pain in the butt before. I reckon I haven’t seen anything yet huh? But! I will do what I have to do because I have no chose but too. This is something I want, so I have to do what I have to do. Period. Not doing it because of fear is not an option. You already know how I feel about fear so we not even going to get into all that. I want to continue to take classes in my previous major, biology. I want to also look into recertifying for my EMT license. I am sure that it is different as far as certain protocols in each state. #INeedToLookIntoThat.
I’ve even been doing a little studying with some of my old notes, and textbooks. Today, I may even take some flash cards and write some medical terms and definitions down, and I can study them daily. Not a bad idea huh? I decided to not wait on school to educate me. Plus, I don’t want to be super rusty when school starts. I have a feeling that I may be retaking some courses too. But I won’t complain. Like I said, I gotta do, what I gotta do. If I took the course before it shouldn’t be that hard right?
Side bar! So, right now at the very moment, I am binge watching Being Mary Jane, with Gabrielle Union-Wade. I love this show. I kind of like season 1 and 2 the best. I decided to have it as background noise as I do my thing. Naomi is sleeping. It is nap time, whoop, whoop! Anyways, the point that I am trying to get to is how she writes all these quotes on sticky notes and puts them everywhere in her house. I am so doing that! Not every where in the house though. I am speaking a office into my near future. I want a office so bad. Even a decent corner all decorated is simply enough for me right now. I ain’t asking for much God! I’ll have my little area all decked out and ready for work to be done. So, there they we go! My favorite part of the show is when the quotes are being typed so the viewer can read. The quotes pretty much go with the drama that is occurring on the show. And there is drama for sure. I’ve even jotted some of the quotes down. You know I stay close to a pencil and pen. For real, for real, that is another goal. I want to know lots and lots of quotes from lots and lots of people.
I just pray that whatever it is that you want to do, that you just go right on ahead and do it! I know I am!! I know how it is to be disappointed in other people. I don’t want to feel that way about myself. I want to do this. And I am going to do this. I speak it. I believe it. And I receive it. I didn’t finish my degree before I up and moved to Ohio. And I would not change my decision for the world. What I got from moving a degree could never fulfill. But now that I am moving in some new directions in life, literally, I am ready for some new goals to get checked off. So whatever doubt that everyone else has embedded in your brain! Get it out! Don’t go letting someone else’s lack of drive and push rain on you. I gots (no typo.) my umbrella and rain boots packed and ready! I hope you’re on board!
Any who, let me get to what I need to get too while the baby still snoozes.
Remember to do you, for you!
I’m Just Saying…
