Busy work day

This week has been one of my busiest, if not busiest, days/weeks at work since Jess has been away due to family emergency. I have had to take her caseload on too of mine. It has been incredibly busy, but at the same time, I kind of enjoy it and feel alive, happy, and productive as opposed to lazy, unmotivated, and bored previously. Being busy at work has also (maybe?) made me productive, more ambitious, and happier in my personal life after work. I've been sewing again! :)

week by week

my life keeps changing week by week, but at the same time feels the same?

void

i definitely feel a void in my life. i miss him. when i think i'm pulling through, a few moments later i break down again. i hate this deceiving cycle. even though i miss him, i can't shake off feeling like i'm beginning to forget how it feels like with him anymore. i almost don't remember how to interact with him. it's becoming just a vague and familiar feeling. the vividness is fading. i want it to all fade sooner.

Gratitude

I must be more grateful for the things in my life. I complain too often.

burn out

LOL I'm so burnt out all I can do is laugh right now

So exhausted

2:17 am and going

I've got work in the morning. Damn daylight savings time. I have too many thoughts on my mind.

letting go of fear and comfort will allow me to discover my inner strength and potential 

potential has been a revolving word on my mind

saving money. am I doing it right?

values. what are mine? do I have stability in my values or do they keep changing?

exploration. of my sexuality. of feminism. of the world. of men. of women. of jobs.

satisfaction. I fear that my standards keep getting higher and higher in terms of satisfaction level. is it becoming unreasonable? how do I know?

Handstand progress

Sunday

feeling sad because I miss Randy's company... so much... I've been trying to keep busy and distract myself but once I have time to just think and let my thoughts go, I just begin sobbing again. 

Book of Mormon

Sunday

On-call for work today and it's such a beautiful sunny day it's depressing that I'm stuck at home. Went on a death visit in the morning and had some emails and phone calls to do. Wondering if I should drop my on call job so I could enjoy my weekends or if I should keep it and just be miserable on weekend but have a better resume with more experience.. Sigh. I hate responsibilities.

sometimes

sometimes I get moments of strength and feel enough maturity to either call or write him a letter of apology and forgiveness. I don't want to lose him forever, but I don't know how to overcome the feelings of desire either. tonight I wanted to express to him that I understand his side and that I would want to continue to be supportive of him as friends. But the other part of me is unable to endure a romanticless relationship together, because that is what I know. That is what I am familiar with and feel connected with. maybe I'll have to wait another few weeks or months before I can genuinely say the things I want to say.

banana back

Trying to straighten out my handstand by April. Yoga gives me so much therapy and satisfaction. The only other hobby that makes me feel this way is sewing. 

Potential

I've been wondering if I've been living up to my full potential.. and it's saddening. I feel like I've been lazy. even though I'm only 25 and have graduated from ucla and usc, and work a full time job and parttime job, I still feel lazy. 

Is this what I am destined to do? What if I went a different route? Computer coding? Fashion design? Medicine? Yoga instruction? What if? 

What if I'm meant to do so much more than I am right now? How do I get there? 

Weekend recap

Friday, I stayed at the office until about 6:30pm working on a case for a patient transferring to a SNF for respite. Today was very rainy. I got home and watched Jiros Dreams of Sushi on netflix off my roommates account. It's a good movie! wasn't really in the mood to go out, but my roommate Linda wanted to go clubbing and I didn't want to be home alone, even though I dread clubbing, I didn't want to be miserable by myself. I was kind of a Debbie downer for the car ride. we also went with her friend. We didn't make the wait list for the club and went to Gaam instead, and I was very relieved. I had fun at gaam, it was more chill and a lounge, which was more of what I was interested in at that time. Got home around 3am and knocked out. I was planning on going home to sm this weekend but due to the rain decided against it. I slept in for the first time in a long time and it felt great. I went to do my laundry at my aunts house and then went to watch RENT, with Miguel acting in it, by myself cause I couldn't find anyone to go with. I felt really lonely today because I wanted to hang out with someone or find someone to go with me to the show but there wasn't anyone available. I'm going to more places alone these days, and although I'm getting more comfortable going independently, it still makes me feel lonely. What's the point in having these experiences without sharing them with others. I don't regret going though, because I really enjoyed it. Then I think I just watched more Netflix when I got home. Today, I was thinking about doing on-call but then decided that since I don't have many weekends off these days it would be nice and worth it to sleep in again, which was a real treat that I felt I deserved. I woke up around noon and went with Linda to the groceries. Having roommates is a huge help in not feeling lonely, and I'm grateful to have them. Then later in the afternoon, I picked up Maggie and we went to fashion island and shopping. It was fun too. Overall, this felt like a pretty good weekend and I feel good I think. I was pretty lonely yesterday, but it was okay I guess. It just felt nice to have a weekend with no obligations, no work, no far driving, and just doing things that make me happy I guess. but it would still be nice to spend it with someone. 

Tuesday

Sick. Went out with my housemates Friday night at dtf and got a sore throat the next morning. Had my cousins wedding Saturday. My sore throat progressed to a stuffy nose Sunday and Monday. Now I have a cough and stuffy nose. I don't know if I've repeated any of this, because I'm typing on my phone and don't usually reread my previous posts because I'm lazy. went to yoga sculpt yesterday and tonight. I missed my yoga classes so much. It's just so dn expensive and far. I did like 8 orientation hens video tests at work today. I got in trouble at work yesterday for giving attitude to the Snf social worker. I told her that it was her job to call a family and not mine. She called my boss and said I was rude and unwilling to help. Good learning experience I guess. I must watch my attitude and mouth to stay professional. Sometimes I still feel like a little girl. blah. Also disappointed in myself for being greedy(?) by wanting a higher credit limit on my BofA card cause I didn't realize it would be a hard credit check and drop my credit score down 3 pts. Grr.. Now it's 769. Oh well. I'm also considering getting either a canon t3i or t5i body. Leaning towards the t3i. The end. 

Sunday

Felt lazy this morning after a long and nice day at An Nam and Holly's wedding yesterday. I juice two glasses of green juice. I felt sicker today with sore throat and stuffy nose. I made boiled chicken for the first time today. It tasted okay. I cleaned my room, so I could vacuum. I went to Brea Mall with Maggie. I only bought a pair of red shorts, yay I didn't go overboard. Then we went to eat at Gypsy Den in Anaheim for OC restaurant week, dinner for $15. Awesome. It was mediocre there, wasn't too impressed. I still want to try the Costa Mesa location though for lunch sometime. Talking to Maggie made me feel better about not being with randy, because that relationship wasn't who i was or wanted to become. That was a good reminder, however, feelings will still be difficult to let go. Still feeling sick. I don't want to go to work tomorrow, or this week. OH WELL. that is life.

young hearts grown old

lamely excited?

that my request for a higher credit line on my BofA credit card was instantly approved from $4900 for $9000. yayy, except now I wish I requested $10000 :X

finally almost making that $10k mark for on one card

now gotta work on my chase card! 

Thursday

Today was rough.

Went to Santa Ana for jury duty at 7:45am and waited in a chair until 3pm to finally get dismissed and told we are excused. I stayed the entire time except during the lunch period from 12:00pm-1:30pm where I drove to garden grove to visit a patient for work, because I was so stressed out about missing work today. All I had for lunch was a blueberry muffin and lays barbecue chips that I bought at the courthouse cafeteria. After 3pm I went and did 3 more patient visits and then drove to the office to clock in and out. I went home and ate my leftover trader joes dumplings I made last night. And throughout this entire day I was thinking about how bored I was and was sad for myself because I had no one to complain to, which made me miss randy. Now that I'm home, I still miss talking to him and it's making me really sad. Just the lack of the little everyday parts of talking to him and complaining to him is making me really lonely.
