Too lazy to write it all out

Some random tidbits:

1. New Years was great. A lazy weekend in with my hubby and lots of yummy food. We watched The Human Stain (love my netflix!). This is a very thought-provoking movie that gives an alternative view to racism-check it out.

2. I really, really want one particular job which I interviewed for two weeks ago. I have been holding my breath ever since. Today, I received a message from the interviewer. I hope that I get an opportunity for a second interview. I have not wanted something this much in a long time.

3. Despite my identity-crisis issues of being unemployed, I have enjoyed my time immensely. I finished The Alchemist and Cosmopolis. I have also caught up on several back issues of Wired, the New Yorker and Scientific Atlantic.

4. Today, I officially became bionic woman; I received my two new hearing aids. So far, seems to be going well. You can not imagine the number of sounds I can now hear. I heard kids yelling with glee as they sled down a hill far off in the distance. I went to Subway for lunch and was able to hear just about everybody’s conversations. This new-found gift can be annoying as well. I now hear every little shake and rattle of the car and the things like water running through pipes and the motor of the refrigerator.

5. I went to the library, got a card and checked out some books. I ended the afternoon with a cup of coffee and I am reading A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis. I have recently learned a lot about my father’s death and decided that I need to take a grief journey as a means pf re-connecting, creating a history, reviving memories, and bidding a proper farewell to my father. I am journaling my steps.

6. It is official II. I am chubby! I faced my fears and stepped on the scale. I am at my heaviest weight ever. I am taking action. Today was my first visit to the gym. I am going to keep a food log and hold myself accountable for my actions.
