egh

Everything in my life has just been same stuff, different day. I'm hoping for some major change when I start University of Phoenix again. I will be going online but at least I will be required to do something. There is a requirement of participation at least 4 times per week.

I don't know if I should just go ahead and clean out my booth today, or wait until Monday. I'm just about sure that nothing else has sold within the last few days, even with Bob's Star Wars stuff in there. Still, one can't be sure until I look.

My Business Management course is going nowhere. I'm still waiting to see if I passed the second time I took the Exam 3 of Part 2. I'm sure I did, so I'm probably just using that as an excuse to not work on it. I should do something.

I have been crocheting a lot. That's about all. I haven't even been writing my offline journal because I can't think of anything to say. It is more of a diary than anything else, I don't put my writing in it other than to say what I am working on.

I'm tired of the spurts of inspiration I am getting as far as my writing. I really don't know what to do. I have a bunch of writing books, and I am trying to get myself to read one about plots. So far it's all for not.

I know. I am complaining about doing nothing and yet have all these things I should be doing. I blame the heat for a lot of it. I get so hot all I want to do is lay in front of the fan.

I hope things will change soon.

nothing new

There just isn't anything new.

I'm waiting for the final word on switching to online courses for University of Phoenix.

My Business Management course is on hold until I get two exams back graded.

I'm still closing my booth in 9 days.

I'm still working on crafts.

I still haven't typed any of my writing into the computer. Maybe I'll do that today.

I want to review more but I can't get myself to just sit down and do it.

I play way too many Facebook Apps.

I really got to get my priorities straight.

changes

Well let's see....

I'm switching to University of Phoenix online. I will still be only taking one class for five weeks at a time, going from Tuesday to Monday. The clencher is that, because it is going to be an ADA accomodation, it's not going to cost me any more than it would for me to go on campus. Kewl beans.

I am still shutting down my booth at the end of the month. I am still going to make crafts for the sheer joy of it and it helps to reduce stress. At least now I don't have to worry about if it is going to be of quality to sell. Anything that does come out with that quality is going in a large plastic bin for eventual sale on Ebay.

I failed one exam for my Business Management course, so now I'm waiting to see my grades from Part Two before I move on to Part Three, which I got the materials for this week. If I fail one exam more than once, I will have to pay more for some reason to take that part of the course over again.

NA is going better. I was upset on Wednesday night so I didn't go but I went to AA last night and I think I am going to attend more of those meetings. I am going to ask for a court record sheet so that I can keep honest track and try to do a 90 meetings in 90 days. I may even try to do more by attending the noon informal NA meetings in town.

I am also checking in to group NA/MH meetings. I was told that to be tested it would cost me something like $200 or more, but I might be able to just attend the meetings without testing.

Thanks to NA I am regaining a better relationship with my personal Higher Powers, so I am studying more and may be adding to my Wicca workbook in my portfolio on Writing.com soon.

I also have been working on Nezoom offline, but I hope to get it typed into the computer soon so I might be updating that folder on Writing.com in the near future as well.

Things are looking UP!!!!

nothing new

There is just nothing going on.

University of Phoenix - still on hiatus. There has been talk of several other options opposed to going on campus once a week. Tomorrow I'm going to contact my academic counselor to see if I can go in for a face-to-face about it all.

My booth is going nowhere. I have been trying to make crafts for it but everything I try to make either is taking forever or doesn't seem like it would sell because it is bad quality.

Business Management - I'm waiting on them to send me the next course.

NA - I've finished writing on the second step but I still need to go over the first step with my sponsor so that is on hold.

As I said nothing really new.

going well

I attended group therapy all day on Tuesday. It was better than I thought it would be. I did a lot of my embroidery and even made a mouse out of air-dry clay but destroyed it when I got home.

I am making beads out of the air-dry clay. I made a cat, frog, and turtle yesterday out of dough-craft. I need to possibly start painting them today. If I do I am going to experiment with mixing paints.

I went to the NA meeting last night. It was good to get back and see everyone and get back on track with my recovery.

Still off from University of Phoenix for the next three weeks.

Still waiting on them to send me my next course for Business Management.

Not much else going on.

recovering

Just thought I'd post a quick note that I am still recovering from gall bladder surgery.

Ran out of yarn on one blanket I was crocheting so I am rolling the yarn for a pink and white baby blanket. When they are done, they will go in my booth.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

had surgery

I had my gall bladder surgery yesterday. One of the stones they removed was the size of an avocado pit, and that was just one of them. No wonder I was in so much pain. Today it goes from feeling like someone kicked me in the stomach with steel-toed boots to someone went drilling for oil in my stomach, but I'm dealing with it pretty well. They told me that the more I tried to move around and get back to my normal routine the faster I would heal. I'm just looking forward to another three weeks being over (what's left of the recovery time from my edometrial ablazion on the 27th) so I can get back to my "normal" life.

I have been writing. I have a Wicca Workbook I've been trying to write that I have been adding too offline. Being involved in NA has given me reason to get back in touch with my Higher Powers and thus making me want to know more about them. I have been lighting my shrine and meditating almost every day.

I am off from my University of Phoenix Bachelors Degree classes for another four weeks. I am going to take all of that time so that I can rejoin my class that I started with in the next course. That and I need the vacation.

I have been seeing my Therapist on a regular basis. It took him this long to realized that I have a lot of resentments and pent up anger so now he wants to work with me on getting it out in productive ways, like writing. However when I told him about the horror story I had in mind of the man's girlfriend killing off the members of his family that didn't approve of her in sadistic ways he wasn't amused. Hey, it's getting my anger out in my writing, and it's just a story, isn't it?

I haven't been working too much on my Business Management course. I usually work on it on Tuesdays when I go to group therapy all day but I haven't gone for the past two weeks. I will try to at least look at the next section today.

Other than that it's just a matter of taking one day at a time and recovering.

surgery scheduled

Just thought I should make a note that my gall bladder surgery was scheduled for May 6th, next Thursday. I am glad that it is this week so I can get my life back soon.

Mostly I am laying around and trying to relax. Every once in a while I force myself to sit up for a while to play Facebook Applications just to get my mind off of everything.

I have been doing crafts a lot over the past month. I am renting a booth in an indoor flea market and that's what I've been trying to sell. I make doughcraft wall plaques, crochet, plastic canvas, and hope to start sewing things soon. I also have made a couple of flower pots out of air dry clay. I have a photo album of my crafts at www.writing.com/kristiana if anyone wants to go looking for it.

Not that much else going on.
