Rushed, of course.

It seems lately that I remember to write a new post in passing. Well, not really. I happened to wake up early, threw a load of laundry in the machine, and vacuumed the family room. Now I'm sitting here, which might very well mean I'm just procrastinating what I really need to be doing, and that is tinkering with the finances. It is somewhat humorous to me that even though the ex and I haven't been together for 2 years, he still expects me to wave my magic wand and fix the money situation whenever he decides to do things on a whim. In this case, it's a major repair on his car, which he decided to take care of asap. No planning or consulting with me as to what bills need to be paid (like in our RENT). He just went off and decided to fix the car.

So this is when I have to look into his account, which I don't really like to do because its none of my business. I can't help but see one transaction after another: eating out here, a weekend getaway there. I don't have say in what he does since it's his paycheck. But obviously trying to survive in our current living situation requires some sacrifice and he has not given up his daily soy lattes.

Anyway. I got that one out of my system. Even if it's for the sake of reading this a year from now and getting a good giggle out of how ridiculous some people can be. I hoped to be more independent at this point, which unfortunately isn't the case... YET. Maybe in a year I will be there.

So a couple of weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and train for BodyPUMP. It was an amazing three days and I walked away with a wealth of knowledge. It wasn't just about doing biceps curls perfectly, but learning how to connect with people, which is something I've had challenges with my whole life. Last night I "shadowed" for the first time, which basically just means getting up in front of the class next to the actual instructor and following along. It was fun, and I was antsy to don the microphone even though I technically can't until November. But I feel prepared to take on this new endeavor.

Too bad it doesn't pay much. Heh.

I do have a wedding to shoot this weekend though. I'm flying up to Boston to shoot a small wedding, which will be over by 4 p.m. Easy-peasy.

And now to awaken the troops. Well, after I finish my coffee.
