What do you do when you join an online book club for a book that only does one chapter a week and you have already finished the book? Asking for...well... myself. I have really been looking forward to this book and I got it on audible which I never foresaw myself liking to be honest. I always loved the feel and smell of physical books in my hand, but when I go to the gym (yes that IS still a thing :D) I need something to listen to that helps me drown out my tears of pain...just kidding. I need something to keep me occupied while I do my weights and sometimes I just want something besides music.
Anyways, to the gym thing. I am actually really enjoying it. I go pretty hard when I do go. I don't really follow any routines per se, but i know that Wednesdays I work out to Richard Simmons :D and the rest of the week I try to work as much of my body as tolerable. Today I did my abs, and then I ran for about 20 minutes. and when I say ran, i mean I went at a pace of 2.0 to 4.9 every few minutes and switched back and forth.
Let me just tell ya that I charged my fitbit yesterday (Wednesday) at noon and now it is at half battery again, so I will be looking for a new fitbit soon. If it cant handle more than a day of me hahaha! I have had this particular model for about a year now so hopefully that is the only reason it is having so many issues. I have enjoyed my colorful bands though so maybe i can get a new one that has several colors :D
I am overall more happy and more energetic these days.

Dragging
I feel as though I am dragging!! I had a day off of work so I feel like my week is going slow. I wanted it to be Monday at the gym this morning, but it was TUESDAY!
Also, I am still going to the gym! I took three days off from it and I ate like crap this weekend but Im still human guys!
BUT speaking of weekend, my weekend was pretty awesome. I did a lot of things with my friends, after I had worked at the ice cream shop. Everyone wanted ice cream this weekend. It was crazy insane! I usually get off at 9 on Saturdays, and I was there until almost 10!
Anyways, a few friends and I went to see Dragon Ball Super Broly in a town about three hours away. I dont know much about this series, but I knew enough to follow along. It was really great! It sure did not feel like two hours! THATS for sure!!
We left at 7 in the morning, got to the place in time to grab a bite to eat just a snack to tide us over so there was no need for concessions. After, we went to Cracker Barrel. I had never been. I loved it. The whole aesthetic was great, wholesome family friendly. Walking through the gift store was fun. I found several things that were cute and we also got to walk by the fireplace as we were walked to our table. Delicious food ya'll. I encourage ya to try it.
On our way home we stopped by a store that we havent had in our town for about a year. So much fun being in this store. It was bigger so there were many more things available for us to look at.
I then went to a movie with another friend when we arrived back in town. That one was incredible. It had me in the feels!! There were some problematic kids there, and there were people sitting behind me that told them off and after they had been an issue for a good half of the movie, ended up cussing at them. The kids left and did not come back. Which was good because they kept messing with the lights. The movie had me crying, thrillers aren't supposed to hit you in the feels like that!!
Overall I had a lot of fun.
I am so glad that I have been working on this and the internet went out for three days!! So I am sorry that it is late.

New year
New year, new me! I know we have all made these resolutions.
I love the way I am feeling though. I have started eating better and drinking more water. I have also been going to the gym every morning. It is an amazing feeling. In two weeks I have dropped 3 pounds!! I decided that during Christmas break I was going to keep my school schedule and I started getting up an hour earlier than usual. I would go to the gym and then take my showers there too.
It has helped in my new me routine.
I have also been doing more communicating with God. I know, not everyone's cup of tea, but I feel that it is helping more than I knew that I needed.
I have also been trying to be more patient with my son. We learned that he has severe combined ADHD. The doctor said that he may have high functioning autism but his ADHD is too severe to make a full diagnosis. He is finally eating more, but it is always the same thing: sausage links and pancakes, ham and mayo sandwiches. He loves sweet pickles and olives.
So what is new with you guys this year!?

Volunteering is good for the soul
Over spring break, (March 22 people, sorry I have not updated,) I was given the opportunity to volunteer for something incredible!!
Our town has the Masonic Temple, a massive building of stone and wonder. Off limits to the public except for occasional weddings and events. I will always call it by that name, but The Salina Innovation Foundation has done amazing things with it!!
They are a non profit organization and they have so many neat-o things that are going on!!
This morning I was able to participate in the FREE yes, FREE yoga and breathing session. We didn't do anything that required too much movement and the instructor was soothing.
After that I enjoyed some coffee and a tour of the building. It would have been my third but I enjoy seeing this building.
It was raining hard that morning and the leaks in the roof were evident. When we went to see the theater, the water on the floor was a quick fix. We placed a few buckets and a mat down and we were good to go. The backdrop from the night before needed to be raised so I watched in wonder as it was done.
After the tour I grabbed some tea and listened while the day was planned out.
Luna the dog was let out and she is such a cute dog!! She is playful and also vigilant.
She would not leave one of the doors alone. Turns out, there was a kitten!!
I bet your day doesnt involve dogs and kittens!! I had so much fun playing with her. We decided to move her up into the office but needed to clean the area first. So I followed the crew upstairs and helped move things, make them neater and safer for the kitten to be around.
We moved her up into the office and she wanted to just stick around!! She loved following us as we walked in and out.
Used the vacuum to clean the Gargoyle room after the Saint Patrick's day pub crawl. I also picked all the decorations up off the tables and around the room.
In the afternoon, after lunch, I packed the decorations into boxes and took a look at the amazing artwork that was going up!
I learned about the plans that they have to start a visitors center and a museum for the Masons who are still using the fourth and fifth floors.
There is a pop up restaurant opening up as well and it will help get them on their feet!
Like I said, I love to help volunteer and who doesnt love free, dogs, and kittens!?

Starwars Group
another successful night at lightsaber club :D
oh how i wish i could convey the amazing feeling it is to hold the hilt of a powerful weapon in your hand and be able to mold the minds of the future.
We had a great time last night, starting with pizza and pop, our first snack night :D
Lightsaber Club is one of the best things i have ever joined!! it is such a blast to have such great friends around even if it is only once a week.
Last night was great because we had a LOT of people stop by and join us in our dueling. I gave out all of the club cards that I had with me.
My favorite group that stopped by was a family. A girl and her two brothers and their mom and dad. We stopped and let them play with the sabers and that girl just kicked butt!! she was amazing at it!!
As we were wrapping up for the night, a group of kids I taught at school before they graduated came by and joined us. I had the pleasure of being able to help them learn some attacking and defending moves.
I hope that this continues as we go on in the year and in the future.
I may just have to make a blog for the group ;p
