December 4 Chronicles

Some days, a lot of significant things happen. On this particular day, five (or more) big things have happened that have been covered on this blog! Days such as this are referred to as banner days, and this is one of them.

(As a personal note, December 4 has special meaning as the first day to achieve banner day status on this blog in December 2019. Just goes to show just how much was going on…

Banner Day Overall.

One for the books. :)

It started with 7 hours of sleep, and breakfast. Breakfast consisted of (and this is, of course, more for my benefit than yours): 1 banana, a cup of yogurt (mixed berry flavor, mmm), 1 serving strawberries, 2 tbsp of the best damn peanut butter I’ve ever tasted.

I packed my snacks and lunch for the day -- because of my long days, I need to plan my meals -- and I made myself a tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread for later (which I ate at around 2 o’clock with an apple). Then, baby carrots, and Craisins brand of dried cranberries were snacks for in between classes/during class, respectively.

I get home and I eat this scrumptious bowl of bean & vegetable soup, with rice -- made by mom. It was perfect. The good news is this was totally simple, totally easy to do, and inexpensive. It actually saves money. And that amazing peanut butter? Costs exactly $1.82. I got it at Walmart, and it basically doesn’t really have a brand, it’s their cheapest kind. For a “brand name,” I guess it’s called “Price First.” So that should tell you something (if you’ve even read this far for some reason). I was so so SO surprised at how good their most off-brand peanut butter tasted. It tastes better than any other big name peanut butter I’ve ever had.

Okay, so. It turns out my breakfast/lunch/snacks were the perfect amount to get me through the day with a smile, alert, and with energy -- not starving, or tapering off towards the end, etc. My schedule also really allows for good breaks in between classes to be able to practice mindful eating, and not have to wolf it down at an alarming rate.

The Holy Spirit is an incredible companion -- I just thought I should work that in here.

I also took the stairs instead of the elevator for some activity. :) AND ate my lunch outside and got to enjoy some beautiful scenery, while talking to my dad on the phone.

Finally, what made this day so incredible (apart from finding a decent parking space on the first day of classes), was.. the first day of classes. Awesome, awesome, I loved it. I still have not received my schedule for my private lessons, but the other classes I am already taking have wonderful, wonderful teachers with loads of knowledge, kindness, and patience. It’s also SO exciting to be studying my two main career paths which are music (major), and science (pre-med). I love my classes, and I’ve already started learning a lot.

Now, I just gotta keep up with assignments for each class and dates, because there’s just a lot to remember. But as far as having the time to do it, I think I will. I should be fine. :) In Jesus’s name. Amen. haha

So tomorrow, I’ve got a busy schedule also, but I’m waking up really early, and have to remember to prepare breakfast/lunch tonight. It’s my first day of training at Florida Hospital -- which I’m so excited to have the opportunity to work for. It’s a tremendous blessing. But then after that, if time permits, I might be able to swing by my church for the “drums cadence” I’m hoping to be a part of -- which is super exciting in and of itself. And then, finally to end the night, I am going to go out with an ex-manager of mine, lol, who asked me to go to “lunch” with him, which then became more like a late-late-night dinner, because that’s the time we could both do it. I don’t have any crazy, wild expectations about it. I’m just looking to have a good time. That’s all. :)

So anyway, that’s that for now. It was probably important for me on some level to write these things down. So thank you to no one, because that’s how many people read all the way through -- haha, jk. But seriously.

:P

Peace.

Today is completely amazing. I am so proud of the decision our Supreme Court made and the efforts of everyone countrywide to make this day possible. Through all the celebration, it's easy to forget that not even ten years ago, marriage equality was seemingly out of reach. Today I live in a country where a basic civil right is afforded to all. It's not about religion or politics. Today is simply about love. Today I also pause for reflection. Up until a year ago, Jax and I were still second class citizens in the eyes of our country. Obviously that changed when Jax's gender marker changed, however our lives are still not without struggle. Today is a HUGE victory. But the fight still isn't over. There is still work to be done. Second parent adoption or reproductive rights for LGBT couples. Transgender rights, having trans issues recognized by insurance companies. The list goes on and on. Today we celebrate, tomorrow, we go back to work. Congratulations America.
