Rebelling against the stars

I don’t like what my horoscope has to say for today or tomorrow. Mostly because I know it’s true.

Today

Tensions may erupt in close relationships because one of you feels that you have been giving more, and not receiving enough in return, or one of you is more loving or passionate than the other. Frustrated love desire can easily turn to anger or irritability at this time.

You could be too attached to certain emotions, memories, or relationships from your past that could cause a problem in your present relationships. Your emotions will be intense but not very stable today which could lead to difficulties and undesired changes in your current associations and romantic relationships.

Tomorrow

Sadness and disappointments in your personal life are also probable now. Inadequacies and flaws in your friends or lovers can be particularly bothersome to you as well now, and you may feel that you have nearly exhausted your patience for dealing with these problems. It is a time to be quiet and to look objectively at how your relationships are going.

You are full of optimism and enthusiasm for new enterprises and plans. In fact, you may be foolishly over-confident and take on more challenges than you can really meet. This can, in fact, be a very productive time for you if you can keep your expectations within reasonable bounds.

Great.

It is what it is..

That seems to be my mantra lately. “It is what it is.. it is what it is..” It helps a little but I think with more practice differentiating between emotional attachment and entertainment will become easier. I had an ephany with Katie last night that I have no idea what so ever how to date. I never have dated before. I don’t know what the drill is for anything. Dating is what people do in highschool and their late teens. I was with the same person from 16 to 22. I probably have no right seeing anyone right now… but that’s where the whole emotional factor kicks in.

So theres that. Getting my birth certificate to do the licence thing on thursday. Stoked on that one. No work from thursday – tuesday. Yay vacation. My next day off is thursday though.. so this is six days of work in a row. So tired.

So yeah, thursday is the birth certificate. Katie wants to go see roller derby on friday and I’m totally down. Then on the 12th of July we’re hoping to hit up the SEA (safeway employee association) event at Great America because you get all kinds of uber discount or something. July 24th is the Safeway District dine and dance thing.. basically prom for adults. We’re also thinking about crashing that party. 🙂

Atkins

Well I’m on day two of the induction phase of Atkins. If this shit doesn’t make me lose weight, I’m going to resort to something drastic. But I have faith. So far it isn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I love all the food I’m allowed to eat, and only intaking 20g Carbs sounds harsh.. but it’s really not. Knowing that I’m proactively taking measures to get skinny again is really helping me avoid the alcohol, the soda, and everything else bad for me that I shouldn’t have been indulging in to begin with.

I got a little weight loss tracker.. now if only I can remember to update it. 😀

Maybe going out to dinner with Julian tonight. Not sure how that’s going to work since I work till 8:30 and he’s just coming home from Sac so he might be all tired.

I feel like I’m finally free from the fog. My thoughts are no longered scattered and I can focus. It’s wonderful.

Wandering Aimlessly

Last night my friends kidnapped me and we all went to see The Hangover. I should say friends/coworkers, because  I work with every single one of them. The movie was great, but I think after all the hype I didn’t find it as funny as I would’ve had I seen it originally.

Yesterday was payday. Yayay. I went to ross and tried on some clothes, and every piece I grabbed didn’t fit. I was like WTF. Of course, one was too big and I didn’t understand how that happened.. fucking ross way to ruin my self esteem!

So I just went and bought two new pairs of sunglasses. Hahaha. Retail therapy is good, and I’ve decided I need to start buying myself a few fun things each pay check or I’m going to forget why I like to work. Staying on the sober wagon for more than a week seems to be an issue, but I’m definitely good on moderation, and no beer. Definitely no beer.

Lost.. in the woods.

So I finally decided that I was going to go exploring the property I live on. I climbed through brush and bramble and took a few deer trails and found something incredible. I wont go into detail about it, but I found a place that I can get grounded. It’s been a very very long time since I’ve felt.. grounded. Like my energy is right. Everything is right. It was so comforting and I was sad when I had to leave. It’s not easy to get to, which makes me like it even more.
