It’s snowing. It’s snowing hard. It’s almost April. Something is wrong here.

Yeah…it’s here…spring break. It’s a well needed break. I’ve decided not to work full-time this week, even though we need the extra money, I need the break and the extra money just usually goes to taxes anyway. I feel relaxed for the first time in months.
Corinne and I made some jambalaya tonight; it was GREAT. The best thing is that it was EASY and we made it with stuff that we just had around. Some sausage, chicken flavored rice, onions (green and white), chili powder, crushed red pepper (instead of green pepper), some salt, and…well…that’s it. Pre-cook the sausage, pile everything else into a skillet, and simmer it for twenty minutes. Oh yeah, add some fresh diced tomatoes (juices and all) and save the green onions until last. Viola! Dinner is served. It was a great idea, if I do say so myself.
Tonight Corinne and I are just relaxing. The baby is already asleep. I’m doing a little work on the computer, and Corinne is watching her new favorite show. I’m looking forward to bed and even more forward to my early days off for the rest of the week.
It’s been a VERY long week and I’m glad that Friday is here. I’m looking forward to the weekend. I’m going to relax, get some cleaning done, and…who knows what else. I’m on call this weekend, so I won’t be getting too crazy, but I can’t have everything.
Work has mostly been hectic this week. I’m just mentally hammered. I had a bit of a breakdown yesterday at work. Been very stressed. I realized that I’m pretty much the pillar of stability at the office; If I’m not there, things happen and it gets tough. That has been putting a lot of load on me. I’m going to have to find a new way to decompress so I don’t flip.
I started going to the gym again this week. I’ve been up twice this week at 6:00 am to hit the gym. 6:00 comes very early for me as I’m pretty much on the go from that point on. I need to get some weight off. I’m not overweight by any means (195lbs. and 6′1″), but I’m not happy with things right now and I need to change it. Last year, I dropped 20 “baby-pounds” over the course of the semester and it certainly wasn’t difficult for me. So I know I’ll trim up quick; it’s just a matter of doing it.
Hopefully this weekend will give me some time to refocus…redirect. I know, I certainly need it.
