I am a brand-new flint...

Today's post features the "soul sistah's," May and Jem (aka honorary and roomie). They got pretty jacked up that night...we had to carry them both to the cars, ha ha ha. For more info on said sistah's, please see previous posts and other Flickr photos :)

of illness and staying in...
Being sick sucks. I stayed at home ALL day yesterday because I was sick. I was nauseated for most of the day and was just very low energy. Someone told me that I was pregnant, ha ha ha. Man, I don't like being couped up all day. It's different when you choose to take a chill day and stay in, but when it's because you have no energy and you just feel ill, man, it sucks. I wanted to at least run once or go to the gym, but I just couldn't get up for it. It was good to rest a bit tho, I rarely get days like that into my schedule. I know I know, I spread myself too thin. Well, I'm feelin better than yesterday, but the allergies seem to have kicked in and are giving my blah feeling a little "oomph." But I shall not let them prevail. I shall smile and carry on for the rest of my day. =p

I need to find some motivation to get stuff done. I'm gonna have to set GOW2 aside for the remainder of the week, and only use it on a "reward-based" system. It'll be my doggy treat for getting my ish taken care of: clean room, finish speeches, WORK on speeches, clean bathroom. :) Obviously the speeches are the priority here. I did a practice run and it didn't go so well, argh. I should've prepared a lot more...now I'm gettin scared...

55 small things you can always do
54. Make room for your heart.
Wow, are we really at the final two words of wisdom? Well, at least these words of wisdom. Anyone who knows me knows my penchance for giving life advice, he he he. Make room for your heart. It's that age-old addage, "Listen to the wants of your heart above all else." Matters of the heart are much more meaningful than anything; there is a reason why people will leave high-paying jobs for something that some would consider a not-so-successful career. To me, the heart is what matters most, and I have to listen to it...have to, have to, HAVE to.
