The apartment smells like cat shit.
I immediately regret this decision to watch Love Actually drunk alone on Christmas Eve.

It's going to be a cold month.
Well, November has ended. I had a goal of running 40 miles total for the month and I was able to beat it. I ended up running 68 miles. I’m going to see what kind of mileage I can tack on during December.

I was able to get out what was pulling me down in my last post by running. Had to go real far though. It feels good to shake that shit off.

Uncool
Well, not only do I have to work on Thanksgiving, I won’t be paid time and a half AND THEN I have to work at 4:30 a.m. the next day.
My Mom is out of town, my Dad is doing who knows what, and Kristin doesn’t seem like she’ll want to spend it together.
Shitsgiving 2011 ya’ll.
UPDATE: 4 a.m. on Friday.

Well
A woman just committed suicide at my work by jumping off the 7th story of our parking structure. We ran outside to see where the fire trucks and police were going and came across the scene. She was motionless when we got there, landing flat face down. Paramedics arrived shortly after, they lifted her head, checked her vitals, and pronounced her dead. Police covered her with a yellow tarp. She just...

OH HAPPY DAYS!
Today has been one of the best days in recent months! You should automatically know this because of my exclamation point. I never use those. I’m rarely this excited.
I found an open position within my company on our website during my lunch break and asked my boss if he would write a recommendation for me. Awhile later he forwards the email he sent, and it is by far one of the best...

Leaps now, not steps.
Two important milestones in two days. Well, one big one, the other a personal victory. I decided I’m going to put in my two weeks for my valet job December 26th, 2011. Just writing that sentence, it’s like a shit weight being lifted off my shoulders. I was hired November 25th, 2006, Black Friday. I have a lot of stories and have met a bunch of odd people and I’ll be sure to do an...

Crystal clear
I’ve recently taken up running as a way to stay positive, motivated, look good naked, and above all, clear my thoughts. At first, like all things, it was hard; starting overall, breathing, stamina, sore muscles, etc. But now, now I look forward to it. The release that it gives me can’t be given by any other activity. I’ve found that running without headphones in lets me listen to my breathing and...

Sometimes I head over to foxnews.com to see how they cover big stories. I was looking for the story of the Iraq veteran who suffered a fractured skull after being shot with a teargas canister at the Occupy Oakland demonstation. I couldn’t find anything on it but that’s to be expected. I mean, you can’t have the Occupy movement looking like veterans are supporting it and not long...
Live Through This
bymomo:
A large part of my family is Mormon. As such, there are some Mormon mommy bloggers in my life. One of these Mormon mommy bloggers recently wrote a post about how in high school, her mom started praying for trials. I wasn’t familiar with the concept of praying for trials, but I learned it means that you ask God for difficult times as a way to grow stronger as a person/familial unit.
