My weekend was wonderful! I don't know if I can come up with the words to do the experience justice.....I was there to watch our Kingdom born, I became Man at Arms to my sister, Ysolt (a chance that means more to me than anyone will ever know), I got to see many friends that I had not seen in a long time, and I had the opportunity to make new friends as well!
With all that said, I am really glad to be back home with my sweetie and my son and my cats :0) I was sooooo tired at school today! I was almost late because I made the mistake of closing my eyes for "one second" after the alarm went off at 5:30am......well the next time I looked at the clock it was 6:45am, and my bus leaves at 7:05am! EEEEPPPPP! I did make my bus, after much running around like a mad person....It was a good thing that I did make it, as our instructor locked everyone out who was even a minute late! The rest of the day went well though, we made homemade pasta, and with that pasta we made lasagna, tortellini, and ravioli! Mmmmmmm! :0)
I am working on an eating plan, because my diet is wayyyy out of control right now, and if I am to get better as a fighter, it would make sense to try and drop the excess weight that I carry. It is not an easy thing for me to do, but school has shown me thus far that all I have to do is choose a goal, work hard and work smart, and I WILL SUCCEED!!!!! So my goal is to find (or develop) an eating plan that I can live with and follow. I resolve to have done this by this Friday.
I should go soak in the tub now.....then an early bedtime!

my scale is broken....:0)
I have been doing all my Matt Furey exercise and my pell work, I just have been so busy with my new job and school, that I haven't had a spare moment to breathe....I still have to type up an assignment tonight before I go to bed....wish me luck and clear head...I have a math test tommorrow!!
Later,

I have been neglecting to post my pell work, this is mostly due to the fact that when I actually have time to post (like at 5:30-6:00 am ) I haven't done my pell work yet.....I usually do my exercise in the morning before school and my pell work after school. When I get home from school, I end up cooking dinner, cleaning etc.....
Helped my friend Kathy clean the bar this morning, and tommorrow I am going to help her put up halloween decorations......
Tonight we are going for Thanksgiving dinner at my in-law's house and tommorrow we are going to my auntie Joyce's for dinner! Gotta love when someone else does the cooking!!!! :0)
Oh, and by the way.....I got a cooking job!!!! It is with the lady who runs a catering business out of the farmer's market....I was waiting for the bus on Wed. and Louise (my new boss) recognizes me from the market and pulls over and offers me a ride. I accept, she asks what I am up to these days and I tell her what I am taking in school, and she basically offered me a job on the spot! Talk about serendipity! She is going to call me today or tommorrow to let me know what my hours are....she pays $10 per hour....that is REAL good for a culinary job! Wheeeeeee!
Gotta go now! I am baking buns for tonight's dinner :0)

Did Royal Court (21 squats, 2 pushups, 1-10 second table, and bridges on the ball)

anyways, on to the nice stuff.....I got to go for a 1 hour massage today! It was great! (She worked on my arms Soly.....) but the real nice thing came before that.....I was waiting for the bus and a van pulled up and the driver rolled down her window.....it was a lady I know from the Farmer's Market, she does catering there (soups, salads, baking etc...) well anyways...she recognized me and offered me a ride downtown.....wait....that isn't even the nicest part.....she asked what I was up to these days and I told her I was going to school to become a chef and she offered me a job!!!!! She is going to phone me with the details in the next day or so, but basically I will be doing prep work for her catering business and she pays $10 an hour, so not too bad eh?
I am currently avoiding (ahem, I mean taking a break from) my math homework. I have already done about 2 hours of homework for my other class tommorrow (intro to hotel and resort management) and in a moment I will launch into the wonderful and facinating world of numbers......(now where did I put that bottle of vodka..?) Just kidding.....maybe..... :0)
I'll be back tommorrow......

I sketched out where I want to cut on the plastic for my shoulder/upper arm armor. I made supper and then at 10:30 dragged my butt off to bed (along with the rest of me).
I will report later today on today stuff!

213lbs
Did Royal Court this morning before school (20 hindu squats, 2 hindu pushups , 1-10 second table, and back bridges on the ball) also did 60 torso twisters, 5-10 count side bends for each side, and 5 Farmer Burns exercises )
I will report my pell work later, after I have had a nap....
Regarding the espresso....after the test yesterday, our instructor decided to do a fun lecture and so we talked about coffee, the different types and the importance of coffee in food service etc.... While he lectured he made us espresso on a little gas powered burner at the front of the class. Can you guess who usually sits at the front of the class?? Huh? Can you? ***grin*** Needless to say that after 5 or so cups of espresso with sugar I was totally wired for sound and I got sooooo much housework done last night! Today however, I am sooo very tired!
I got really frustrated in Kitchen Management today. We are doing math and I have a long and ugly history with math.....our instructor was not really instructing, he was just expecting us to know the answers and I guess for most of the kids in my class who are fresh out of high school math, this is a no brainer, but it has been at least 18 years for me and I was totally lost and getting more upset by the second, really I almost was in tears and had to bite my lip a few times to keep from just breaking down. :0( This doesn't mean that I am going to let this defeat me, it just means that I am going to have to work harder at this than my other classes and change my attitiude towards math. I WON'T FAIL!!!!!
On the bright side, we had another food theory test today and I am pretty sure I aced it, but I won't know the mark till next week.
I have tommorrow off of school, so I will be out job hunting and putting up more signs to sell the washer and dryer. I also have a massage booked for 10am tommorrow. The chiropractic office where I work just hired a new massage therapist, and she is offering the staff a free 1 hour massage each! So I am really looking forward to that!
I will post later with pell work and other stuff!
Later......
