I went to the park today. It was the most relaxing thing I've done in awhile. Just being by myself...walking along some of the trails. Anyway, let me rewind some.
Today, was really good. Reflecting on it...better than most. Not that most of my days are bad, but it was mainly because it was one of those days where I didn't have the same routine. My lil girl was incredibly sweet today. It's so odd; there are days when she just.....well.....we'll say a challenge....but then there are days like today where I could just hug her forever because of how adorable and smart she is. She's such a happy little girl.
My lil guy wasn't here this afternoon so I was able to stay at my base school all day. Since I didn't go see my lil guy, I went and pulled my newest student who happens to be a fifth grader. I must say it was quite different having a student who was able to carry on a conversation with me--and a very mature one at that. Yet of course, it was rather comical being she was my height and during our entire one-on-one session I felt like I was talking to one of my girlfriends. She was the nicest girl though; I wish I was able to see and work with her more often, but her needs are extremely minimal.
After school, I kind of randomly decided to go to this park in Wake Forest that I looked up online. I know if I go straight home after school I'll just crash and take a nap and that's what I'm trying to avoid. Anyway, I headed to Joyner Park and it is absolutely gorgeous. I'll have to post pictures later, but my camera is in the living room and I'm too lazy to go get it...hah. This park has these long walking trails, gorgeous view of the sunset, bridges, swings, and just and overall wonderful scenery to take in on a cool or warm afternoon. This might be my new place to spend time to think, read, or meditate from time to time. It was incredibly relaxing to just walk around a little while and refresh myself from the day. Side note: I think I'm going to get married at a park one day....I think it suits me.
This evening, one of my co-workers/friends (co-workers still sounds so foreign to me!), Martha came over and we had a lovely dinner of my famous dish: "Hamburger Helper!" Ta-da! haha. Really though, I dominate hamburger helper. We talked about life, the parts of our pasts we try to forget (boys, ugh), work and school, and our beyond awesome students! Woot! [Can you tell I'm getting tired as I am using more exclamations?] We watched our weekly fix of Switched at Birth....whoo...drama!
Anyway, it's been a really good day. I'm working on being more productive with my time and not spending it sleeping. I'm trying to be more physically healthy by watching what I put into my body and I'm really trying to exercise even a little bit everyday. I've been eating out way too much and need to chill with that. Baby steps. I really want to up the ante with my signing skills again too. That will be my next big "move." I was showing Martha some signs tonight and it made me miss it....again.
I just realized tomorrow is only Wednesday. I feel like it should be Thursday. Oh well...wishful thinking. Here's hoping that I go to bed much earlier than I did the night before.
