25 Days of The Little Things

Hopefully this goes better than that 30 Days of About Me questions (although I did make it to Day 27).

I have been getting bogged down with a lot of stuff over the past few months. I feel like I have had boulders thrown at me and when that happens, it gets hard to see some of the amazing little things that I should be thankful for. This post from Savvy Eats that stemmed from Grey Matter Life was the perfect inspiration for me to start November off right. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I hope to post a little something or somethings each day that I am grateful for. I will miss some days. I will have trouble thinking of things other days.

But placing a few glowing lights of goodness in my life will be fun! And it will be an excellent way to get into the holiday cheer as the year winds down.

No pictures today but:

I am thankful for the internet connection that allows me do to homework, budget, keep in touch with friends, and procrastinate like a mofo.

All Nighter

For the record:

I am currently partaking in my FIRST all nighter in graduate school.
It shall be my first and last. 

Luckily I took a "disco" nap earlier so I could prepare for this. And luckily, I can take a nap tomorrow since I only have my class.

Ridiculousness! But it is hard to yell at yourself without feeling a bit crazy doing it.

Running in Circles

I found a little piece of bliss today and it isn't even 11am yet!

I attack each day with a particular plan. Today I needed to go to the library (major priority) to get homework done but I also needed to drop off my laundry because I am slowly getting to the point of wearing my least favorite clothes which doesn't make anyone very happy. Problem is that the laundry place doesn't open until 10am and I planned to be on campus at 8am. There are logistical issues with parking on campus, an event I need to be at tonight, and having time to pick up my laundry tonight after said event. It was just a lot of "Well, I could do this or I could drive there, do this, drive there, do that" and when I woke up at 8am (oops) I decided to get down to business at home and then run my laundry over.

I am one of those people that needs to do things in a logical order, most likely resembling a big circle. I hate back tracking or wasting time and gas. 

What is my point?

I am currently sipping coffee in my undies, curled up on the couch in a blanket with the window open as I do my group work. It is surprisingly nice! The fresh air is always amazing but I am just barely warm enough to keep it open. I have good reasons for not having pants on right now and I am digging it! The coffee has given me the buzz to power through at least one thing today.

Soon to come: laundry drop-off and library!

I know, an exciting day in the life of me :)
