Overdue Update from the Weekend

Been so busy the last couple of days, continued. This weekend went by pretty quickly. First of all, Thursday. I started my volunteer job at the library.  It is all official and  regular now. I’m excited about that. It’s only taken a whole year for that to come into fruition.

Friday I worked on some more transcripts and just getting more comfortable with the forums and letting myself just adjust to the idea of having a job and money. It is a nice feeling, especially since it is such an easy job, and a relaxing one, to boot. You can’t  honestly put a price on feeling a little more self-reliant when you’re disabled. As of today, I think  I have to to transcribe about 10 more minutes worth of work, and then I will be out of Rookie mode. I am hoping to do that today. And then there is a whole other tier that I just found out about which excites me. I love their way of challenging their employees.

Saturday, I just organized my DVDs. My DVD Binder came in the mail and so I alphabetized both my Bluray and DVD disks and put them away to get rid of the cases and reclaim bookshelf space. I do have a couple of special DVD sets that I couldn’t take out of cases. Mom and I will decide what to do with those at a later date, but at least I was able to reclaim some space for my first love, books. The movies I collect would not be in my collection if it weren’t for my books. Sunday, of course, was Mother’s Day. For the first time in a long time, I got to spend the day with my  mother at the beach. We went to Mideira Beach. Then after that we went to John’s Pass. I got myself a third hermit crab and then we had lunch/dinner at Scully’s. I had seared Grouper and veggies. Will probably be having those veggies with a real dinner tonight.  It was a very nice time, and I will admit it was good to get out of the house, away from the computer and just do some flat out reading (when I wasn’t talking to those around me).  I should probably do that more often, huh? Just get away from the computer?

I must admit ,the last few days, I have done pretty bad on my diet. Had Pepsi with dinner on Sunday, had chocolate cake and a tuna sandwich for a late (and I mean LATE ) dinner last night. Not good at all. And I haven’t been walking. To be fair, I did a shit ton of that on Sunday, but before that, I haven’t really been walking because I’ve been getting up way too late.  If you get up too late, it’s incredibly hot here in Florida. -sigh- I must do better!
