Another sunset… What’s on the list for the next day?

Posted by Daria on

What is on the list?

I see many beautiful sunsets. I miss out on many beautiful sunrises. Too early, not enough sleep, need to get my coffee first excuses are no longer working out for me. I`d like to get more “day” in my day, if you know what I mean!??! Plus now that the world did not end I feel like I need to move on to some great accomplishments in life, though I do get that feeling as often as the sink fills up with dirty dishes… That feeling of doom that something is gotta get done. Or what we call in our family and friends circle: ”gotta get get”.

It’s funny I say that I should work on something even when I’ve been so busy that I had no time to update my blog in 4 weeks. Off the wagon, on the wagon of blogging. Hope this ‘just write’ thingy from WordPress will help with writing and blogging about life and all the sunsets and sunrises, high and low points, remarkable events and day-to-day jibber-jabber.

Now I`d like to go write down all the things I want to do…

  1. School Work
  2. House Chores
  3. Yard work

I read, I type, I text: so why is it that I can't write a fraking essay?

Having the hardest time concentrating on my school work. What should be the last few months of school is becoming a few years of hell!!!

It is hard to write English essays when you get old. Seriously… how hard is it to sit down (with a can of RedBull) and concentrate on two very short stories, compare them, and write a beautiful essay about {something very meaningful}.

Turns out it can be very hard. I did have the help of RedBull. It helped, except now I am bouncing off the walls and oh yeeaasss!!! I am thinking and talking… for last three hours non-stop… except -> ABOUT ALL THE WRONG THINGS!!!!

HELP!

I need to concentrate on my essay. Turns out what I read, write and do has nothing to do with school work and/or academic writing.

Lesson learned today: School is Useless!

What are your thoughts on this?

It must be the ice fog mixed with yesterday’s beer… both stuck in my head. It’s like my mind is clouded and no clear thoughts have entered since 8am this morning.

There are days when I wish I could just try stay focused on a goal. Any goal. It is hard to see the end and even harder to see a proper beginning.

This day got confusing when I woke up with tears  pouring down my face(must have had a bad dream (?)), my husband asking me to marry him again (?) and me thinking that I am getting too old too fast (?).

pfff… what a morning.

It is now mid afternoon. I am still trying to shake off the fogginess and remember what is it that I really want from life. My mind keeps brining up strange memories of the dreams I had last night. (I have decided that if I am sleeping and the world ends- I will not notice, as I will be too busy trying to live my dream life.)

Soooo much stuff to do…

Need help.

Yet, I never ask for any.

I never learn.

Happy New Year!

It is already January 7th, 2010 and I am still trying to figure out how to finish up everything until end of January. I have very many goals. Maybe it is too much to take on, but I want to belive that everything is possible. I will tackle one problem at a time, but keep my mind on my goals. Even if I don’t get everything done at least I will be able to say that I have tried. :)

Chef in training: an introduction

Posted by Daria on

Last few weeks have been dedicated to eating better. No diet, no pills, no huge leaps into the unknown remedies. Just trying to follow my own healthier food intake. I’ve started to eat more vegetables and more fruit. It has been difficult. Those who know me well are aware that I am allergic to most of the vegetables and all of the fruit. I am not even kidding about the “all” part. I am not badly allergic- some fruits give me hives, others a runny nose, most make me sneeze. I have been more careful with washing the fruit better… I’ve read, not a long time ago, that it is the water mix used in the store to spray fruits and vegetables that probably causes my allergic reactions. Why? Well the water has wax mixed into it; the wax provides nice shinny coats and keeps the quick decay away. The wax comes from bees. Bees collect pollen. Pollen is what I am actually allergic to. Mystery solved. As a part of this experiment I have also been shopping in a number of various grocery stores. Keep it moving; groceries come from different places and my body doesn’t get enough time or of the same thing to figure out that I’ve eat an apple or a strawberry. My shopping trips now also include an organic grocery store. Surprisingly, last few weeks I was able to snack on fruits and include many vegetables in my dinners, without reaching for a Claritin, Reactine or any other Cetirizine hydrochloride…errr an antihistamine.

Does it only take a few weeks of treating your body for it to get used to it?
