Energy

I'm certainly finding it hard to find the energy these days to do much beyond trudging trough work everyday. It seems like I just can never get enough sleep or rest. I'm sure my camping trip didn't help with that at all and I have a very busy weekend coming up. UGH. It doesn't help that I've decided to give up pop this week. I normally drink diet but I heard that can even be worse. There has been a lot of hype about it. Well, I normally live on the stuff to keep awake so its going to be a rough transition away from it. I'm adding some propel fitness drink mix to my water bottle to help me make it through. It has mainly just vitamins in it. I think I want to do one healthy thing each week as a challenge. Giving up pop this week, maybe next week I will give up buying food completely at the cafeteria and make sure to bring my own lunch every day.

Last night we had some strong storms come through. No damage to the property here and the power stayed on so no biggie for us after all the hype in the media about it. At least it cooled things down a bit.

I received my SPD certificate study books in the mail yesterday that I ordered on Friday so I need to set aside a time everyday for studying some really boring stuff. But, If I take the test and get certified I will make a little more $$ and more importantly, be able to find a job closer to home more easily. Less time commuting, and more money will help me towards my goals in the long term. So its a pretty big deal on the to-do list. :)
