Took half a day off yesterday due to unbearable pains and I didn’t worry about missing meetings or feeling guilty for skipping out on lunch with Erin. I made sure to let them know though so they rescheduled the meeting and Erin texted me to make sure I was okay a few times throughout the rest of the day. It felt good not worrying all the time how people feel when you’re not okay. Step one of being less of a people pleaser by taking care of me, myself, and I. Check.

Madison is getting induced tomorrow which means hanging out with Mallory is a no go this week. But that means a little girl or little boy will be born soon! I can’t wait to meet him/her. I am patiently awaiting Mallory’s text to let me know. Eeeeep!

Deadpool tomorrow. TO-freaking-MORROW. I hope I don’t get disappointed since I’ve been looking forward to this movie since before they were making the movie.There’s going to be a freaking drink in my hand while watching because that’s what Wade Wilson would do. Duh.

Weekend plans are on lock down for the most part. Appointments and reservations and that type of deal and I’m a little nervous. I’m a homebody so I don’t go out and really meet anyone. Doing too much without any breaks for me to recharge makes for a cranky me. I need downtime in between long hours spent with people to recharge so I was surprised I agreed to everything. We’ll see how that goes.

Hopefully I’ll have time to finally un-box my Meme Box from December that Sissy and BIL got me and my Stitch Fix that just came in yesterday. I’ll let y’all know if there’s anything worth mentioning.

Stay Positive and Think Good Thoughts! 🙂

Happy Chinese New Year!

The Chinese horoscope says I’m suppose to have a pretty good year. Haha I don’t believe those things but we’ll see if they’re right.

I’m lucky enough to communicate with my family in Hong Kong through WhatsApp. It’s usually just the kids and Kathy in there but Rachel was able to record PoPo’s voice wishing us a Happy New Year and telling me to bring home a man and we can eat pigeon together. I replied that we might scare him if he sees us eating it. haha I miss them a lot and it’s times like these I wish I was over there to celebrate with them. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to do so next year. Wish we all had more time together. But I’ll take this over nothing at all.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

I’m not really sure where this post is going. I’m just writing it to document what I did the last part of the week just for my own memories sake. So … you can skip this unimportant post if you’d like. 🙂

I was starving when I met up with Mallory after work Wednesday and the whole time we were at Target I could feel my stomach eating itself. But right when we walked into Fish City Grill I was full and a meal that Mallory and I split ended up pretty much untouched. It was the first time we finished eating before John even got home so I ended up watching telly with her for a little while.

Thursday after work Sammy and I had plans to hang out. We had just gotten to World of Beer and I really thought I was going to keel over but I persevered. It was funny, though – for the first time, I didn’t chug my beer and he was beating me … not that it was a race or anything. After however much beer and time later, we headed to Bernie’s Burger Bus where I pretty much watched him eat because I wasn’t hungry. It’s been a while since we hung out and it was nice we were able to do so. He was even nice enough to agree to stop by my house to pick up my guitar. He’s going to put new strings on it. I haven’t played in forever but maybe now that I get new strings on it I will.

After hanging out with him I took a sleeping like pill since I was going to jump into bed by 9:30 pm thinking I’ll finally get enough sleep. Instead, I woke up at 12 am and went to work by 4:50 pm Friday. Pure torture to be so wired and so tired at the same time especially on a Friday in a meeting. I wasn’t able to or wanting to go eat until late that night. Stomach pains ended up having me to cancel plans with Alyssa to rest up since the next day was going to be quite long.

Saturday was all types of pre Chinese New Year festivities. I planned to go to Zuco’s surprise birthday party late at night but the pain was too much. I stayed home with the fams playing video games instead. I want to upgrade to a PS4 now. Ever since BIL, I play more and he actually has a little bit more patience to teach then my brother did. But it’s expensive and I would probably either play all the time and do nothing with my life (doubt it) or I play on and off and it won’t be worth the money.

The latter part of the week was filled with peoples. Sadly having to cancel two of them because of pain sucks. But staying at home and hanging out with my family was still fun since I rarely get to see the cousins. Chinese New Year tomorrow! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps!

I finally went to the studio Monday night after being gone for so long. They were surprised when I showed up. It’s still a big sausage fest with a sprinkle of girls added to the mix. I’m glad they’re getting noticed and people are putting in time and energy just for the joy of being a part of something.

Other than the surprised looks on the boys’ faces, upon arriving through the doors, one of the employees that work at the studio asked if I ever did any acting or crew in the past. I laughed awkwardly and replied “a long, long time ago … very little”. He started to talk about how he is in the casting process of a short film. He’s wanting to submit various short films he and others have made hoping it’ll get picked up and grow into something more.

It quickly went to him asking if I was interested because there’s a part he can see me play. He wants a whole lot of diversity so I guess being Asian helped. haha I think he can sense my nervousness so he asked me to just read the script and see how I like it before deciding. And if I really was interested, he wanted me to read for two different parts.

Y’all … I’m going to be FAMOUS! hahaha Just kidding.

I haven’t been in front of an audience in a long while now so I’m not sure if I will end up reading the for the parts. I didn’t like the attention and the judging. Ever since then I’ve switched to the behind-the-scenes type of person but I agreed I’d read the script first and go from there. He added that he’d love my help with the crew if I didn’t want to go forward with it and I told him that that sounded lovely. I didn’t know what else to say. Plus maybe it will be lovely. Getting to do things you wouldn’t normally do and have more experiences do sound pretty fun. If I didn’t go to the studio Monday night, i wouldn’t have been given an opportunity to decide, given, I might not take it. But being asked is something to celebrate about. Always celebrate the little things.

The week is almost over. Can y’all believe it? Happy Humps Day!
