About a Hat…

I had a plan to work, but my tummy is louder than my thoughts. I am trying to push it aside, but what can you do? I ate a good amount of food last night. I really shouldn’t be hungry.

Today I really wanted to throw my alarm across the room, because I am off today. There isn’t a good enough reason for me to be up at 5am. I couldn’t get my mind to stop thinking so my eyes could close again. My body is tired, but now everything is listening to my stomach.

Okay, it didn’t take long to put some sweet potatoes in the oven, play my favorite online game (township) and rework my day. I really dislike when my plan doesn’t go as I thought it should. I read somewhere or was it in a movie? It doesn’t matter, but this thought came to me “always have more than one plan, just in case you need a back-up,” and that is true.

 All is good, a light breakfast, a good cup of coffee, and it’s time to start my day. It doesn’t matter if you get a late start, just as long as you get started, and that’s all that matters.

I have been trying to learn how to crochet a hat for years. I cannot count the times I have started and then put it aside, because it wasn’t coming out right. I watched videos, used different yarns, and followed directions. Today is the day I learn how to make a crochet hat.

Water..

What is the amount of water you should drink each day? I was told I should drink half my body weight, or I should drink eight cups of water every day. Is that 8 oz, 12 oz, or a 20 oz cup you should drink? I have never liked drinking water 1 cup maybe, but more –

I now weigh 270 lbs. Yes, it’s a lot, but I am down 29 lbs in 6 months. Oops I got off of the subject. How much water would I need to drink if the water was in a 12 oz cup? Let me ask google another question. 

Google did say you can drink 10 to 12 cups of water, but that is without food. There is water in food, so with that in mind.  Here is a better answer to my question from google:

Practical breakdown

  • Water from drinks : ~8–9 cups/day (2–3 liters)
  • Water from food    : ~2–3 cups/day (0.5–0.75 liters)
  • Total fluids            : ~10–12 cups/day

I couldn’t bring myself to drink another cup of water, so I bought a watermelon, and ate until I was full. Water is in the name watermelon, so technically I had at least three cups of water today. A little water is better than no water at all.

Not just Words…

There are way too many words and thoughts going through my head. I started working on my book, but then I started thinking about the game I need to play in order to get points to get an amazon gift card. 

I did my math and without a coffee pot I have to have at least one 16 oz cup of ice coffee and I am only able to get maybe four cups out of one bottle. I need a coffee pot. I am just hoping it will be extra hot.

I am still looking for another job, but I am really wanting a homebase job. I need to try and get some kind of computer training.

I am NOT going to give up, because I am so over working where I am at with no chance for a better future and I am not going to get any younger. I NEED to start aiming for a better tomorrow while I can.

They say it’s never too late to start something new. I say, “If you don’t start, then you will never set your dream free, and I want to know I at least tried. I am not just writing down what I want, but how I am going to do it.

I want to encourage as many people as I can to write down their dreams and then write how to set those dreams free. “Dreams do come true, if you put in the work, ” that sounds like it came from a movie?

Someone once told me my idea was just a vision board, but in a book form. Another person said that’s just writing in a dairy.  I don’t care what you call your special book, I say if you can write down your dream and figure out how they become more than dreams. You can name your book anything you like, just don’t keep your dreams on paper, and be ready to set them free,

Not Going Backwards..

I found myself falling back into my slow steps, steps that will not help me keep my word, and that isn’t good. I came home with the thought I would work on my book after my coffee, but my favorite online game (Township) was opened before I remembered I was supposed to start working on a post. 

I am trying to recall the anime or cartoon show I saw on HBO where the daughter asked her father what the word, “procrastine” meant, and he was trying to explain what her mother had said about him. Then the little girl said she thought it meant being lazy.

{}https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/procrastinate

Procrastinate : to keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring:

In my case I enjoy creating new stories from something I saw or finding an answer to a question or two. I am not going to lose who I am and the person I want to be. What’s the point of dreaming if it stays a dream? 

I am watching one of my favorite anime, My Neighbor Totoro and I am smiling. I am also thinking about my next trip to Charlotte Yarn. https://charlotteyarn.com/ where you can not only buy yarn, but they have classes, and where we come together to crochet or knit. I have an hour left, and I need to work on my book, and eat an early dinner.
