So yesterday my day was kind of weird. I couldn’t seem to settle down and was constantly on edge and full of energy. I tried walking around but it didn’t seem to do enough. So early last night I turned on my Mindfulness app and did a 15 minute meditation. As I was going through the steps I realized I was pissed off about something.

Money?
No. Just stressed out. Being pissed off at money does nothing.

Work?
No. They’ve been really understanding and supportive. Maybe anxious about my upcoming shifts but nothing major.

Medication?
Bingo.

I was mad with my medication. I feel like it doesn’t always work and I am super pissed off at the weight I have gained from it. For someone who eats in smaller portions gaining 15lbs in a month is a huge gain. The only difference I can put my finger on is the medication. At least I go to the doctor today.

I also realized I haven’t been coloring as much as I used to. I was getting 1-2 hours of coloring in a day and that really seemed to help keep my calm and centered. So I have to figure out how to add more coloring into my day. But I worked on a few pictures last night. I made progress on my Octopus, and I finally finished up my dragon.

I also went for a bike ride last night after my boyfriend got home from work. He was too tired to go with me which was fine. I was able to plug into some music and just lose myself as I pedaled my bike along the ocean.

I worked on my coloring while watching Season 8 of Doctor Who on Amazon prime. I know that a lot of people don’t like the Doctor played by Peter Capaldi, but I actually really enjoy him. He’s more like the original Doctor’s instead of the new ones. Which is a nice pace. I’m not saying I didn’t like 9, 10, or 11. They were all…

See what I did there?

My new series Doctor is 10, played by David Tennant. But my original Doctor is 7, played by Sylvester McCoy.

I really enjoy the new Master… well, Mistress; Missy.

I just love her character. I think I’ve always enjoyed The Master as a bad guy. I enjoyed The Master (played by John Simm) when he was in the series with 10. But I think my favorite Master was played by Anthony Ainley . But he was the Master with Sylvester McCoy, so I might be a bit biased.

My new Mass Effect hoodie showed up last night. I love it. It’s a cool cut and it fits well. But I am still keeping what my boyfriend and I have dubbed “The Super Hoodie”. Now I’ll fit in a little more when we go to Great America for my boyfriends birthday. He really wants to go on the new Mass Effect ride, and what kind of girlfriend would I be if I said no? Plus I haven’t been to Great America in years. It’ll be a fun day.

Day 7

So I’m a Sagittarius. I’m a fire sign and my ruling planet is Jupiter.

I feel that sometimes I am true to my sign. I do like freedom and being outdoors, and traveling. I’m generous and I think I have a good sense of humor. I can be impatient.

Let me rephrase this. I relate enough to my sign to have it be my first tattoo. I’ve done a few things to make it my own. Like the body is based on my first horse Jason. I put the planet sign for Jupiter on the haunches. But here is the image I on which I based my tattoo on.

 But here are some more cool Sagittarius images. I feel like I can relate to some of the facts in the pictures a little better than I do for the definition of my sign.

 

Back to everyday life…

At my parents house I showed them my new hoodie. My mom and my sister liked it, which is really rare. They commented nicely on my self painted nails. And my two new fidget animals were waiting for me. Meet Red Panda Jr and Fidget Pony 2.1.

So the doctors went well. They took me off the medication and put me on something new. The reason I was gaining weight was I had two medications which are notorious for doing so and one of them slows down my heart rate and metabolism. Now I’m off those so yay!

And then I go to the pharmacy to pick up some new medication and some little old lady in a walker tries to cut me off and jump ahead of me. Well, that didn’t happen. I was in line and just waiting for my name to pop up on the screen. Hasty witch. Everyone is always so impatient in there. I really wish I could just get them all mailed to me. But when the doctor refills something or gives me a new medication I have to pick it up in the pharmacy. :op

We came home to hear that we had missed a phone call from my Cousin in Europe who wanted us to call her back. I knew what this was about but I wasn’t going to reveal the secret to my parents. So we rang them up and my cousin shared the news: They were pregnant with a baby! Yay! I’m going to be an aunt! This is going to be the most spoiled international child ever!

Yes, I’m already an aunt. But this is way cooler and better. I actually grew up with this cousin, so we are so much closer than I am to my other ones. Even being thousands of miles apart she is more like a sister to me. And we made a pact that Gucci is the first horse that the wee one shall ever sit on. They are keeping the gender a surprise which I think it awesome.

If you are a theater/showtune nerd like me, Amazon Music has a channel just for us. Its called Showtunes. It plays West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, and many more. I think it’s an awesome channel. I’ve been listening to it for a few days and I’m really happy with it.

Go on. Give it a try.
You know you want to…
