Day 56

I guess today was more productive than than wonderful.  And that always makes me feel good!

Starting off the day after getting all rested up from my weekend's shenanigans.  I took the time this morning to try something new with my hair.  I had been reading up on ways to get more volume in my hairstyle and one thing kept popping up that I had never tried... velcro rollers!

Many people said they loved, but then there were just as many people saying that either the rollers got caught in there hair or left it looking frizzled and fried.  I weighed the good and the bad... and I chose to try it!  Hell why not.  You only live once right?  So I bought myself the biggest Conair velcro rollers I could find at CVS... double checked all the websites on how to get the perfect amount of volume... and tested them out! 

These pics don't do it justice. But the volume and curl lasted all day!

Boy oh boy why have I not tried these before!!  They are fabulous and so flippin' easy that I bet my 6 year old niece could do it!  Though I initially didn't get the amount of volume at the top as I wanted, the curl and volume it gave at the ends was gorgeous.  Plus, it stuck all day!  Definitely adding this to my daily routine.  :)

Ok, on to the news!  The funniest part of the day was Producer Joe making fun of me, as per usual, this time it was for my voice.  After "howling" all night Friday and the laughter of Saturday's D&D, my voice was trashed.  I sounded like I was 80 years old and had smoked 2 packs of Newports everyday of my life!  I admit, it was bad.  So of course Joe chose that as his tease topic of the night.  Lol.  Don't worry, it was funny and so worth it.

Back home I decided I needed to kick my own ass and get some cleaning done.  Tonight's task... the kitchen!  Let me give you a bit of background.  I am a MAJOR clean freak.  As in I typically would vaccuum my apartment at least twice a week.  Since my depression... yes I will admit it... set in and really started weighing down on me, I began neglecting my home.  Dishes, clothes, garbage... all began to pile up and I would just leave it.  My vaccuum, haven't touched it in months.  Even the cat was starting to get disgusted with the living conditions.  So as I am getting better, I am working one day at a time at getting back on track with everything... including cleaning. 

My new plan is to slowly start incorporating daily routines back into my life.  As I don't want to overwhelm myself and fall back down the massive hill I have already climbed by stressing myself out, I am taking these tasks on slowly, methodically.  First, cleaning will be a daily thing.  However I will not clean the whole apartment at once.  Each day I will clean one room.  Then at the end of the week, I will vaccuum and mop.  That way the house will be maintained, but I will not be overwhelmed and feel like a failure when I slip one day.  So far it has worked.  And on this night, it was the kitchen's turn to be taken on.  Piles of dishes... CLEANED!  Stove and countertops... CLEANED!  Fridge and freezer... CLEANED!  Bim bam boom!  Boy did it feel good!  Just like my life, I am cleaning up my house... one day at a time. 

Final little blip of joy.  I got back into playing Sims.  Yeah, yeah... go ahead and laugh.  I'm a nerd and I am damn proud of it.  This time, I deleted all of my previous games and began anew.  I created a character in the image of how I currently feel in my life.  Slim, sexy, vuluptuous, powerful.  She doesn't take shit, she is very chatty with new people... oh and of course, she has Indie right there with her.  :)
