1.25.11

Well, the 25th of January is here. I have been dreading this day for a year now...and at the same time have just been ready to get it over with. It's another day to miss John but have it only be accentuated. Let's just say, last night was a giant throwback to 1.24.10 and the dread, anxiety, sorrow, and loss that I felt the night before, and the weeks following, his death.

Since today is a big day and requires that I keep my mind, body and heart distracted so I am not a wallowing mess, I am taking extra (and slightly detrimental to my credit card statement...) precautions to not be said mess. Here's how today has gone, and will go, down...:

- Had a good workout. I was reading through my letters to John written after he died and I talked to him about the distance I made during runs. I have slacked a lot since then and want to get my mileage back to what it once was...today was a good, strong start towards that.

- Yummy, warm and delicious bagel and coffee at Einsteins. I took my computer, did a bit of school work, and just enjoyed being in a cozy environment. It kept me distracted...

- Bought some new hair products (I LOVE hair products, just FYI) and a portfolio for interviews. If I'm gonna snag that awesome job, I gotta have a snazzy, red leather folder for my resume and references...and super sexy hair :) that's always a must.

- Made delicious new recipe for my roomie and I. Good food is always a good fix.

- Am skipping my freshman level political science to see the new romantic comedy, "No Strings Attached", with said roomie. Again, I have a legit excuse to skip class today...right?

- Have plans to have a cold beer and enjoy some live music after my night class. Again, good company and a good beer makes things better.

Okay, hope you are all having a good day. Just think - January is, finally, almost over. Good thing.

Marfa means...something to look forward to after too long in Lubbock :)
