Oh my thunder!

Holy thunderstorm! Man, is it stormy out!  I don't get people who say they love thunderstorms, and how relaxing it is for them. It may be the whole lack-of-rain in L.A. thing, but either way, it sucks. I already despise the rain, and this is like the icing on the rain-cake. To make things worse, it's supposed to rain for the rest of the weekend. Good thing I already got our groceries for the rest of the week. I am NOT planning on going out at all this weekend.
...There was just a HUGE clap of thunder. I HATE thunder. It's not even that close by. You know how you're supposed to count the seconds between a flash of lightning and the clap of thunder and however many seconds you count is how many miles away the lightning actually hit (and I hope that run-on sentence made sense)? I just counted to about ten. So that means it's roughly ten miles away, right?

Because it's 3 a.m. and I'm fully awake, I figured I might as well catch up on happenings around here. I did move downstairs to work at the same school as my husband (!). It's pretty cool, because I've been less focused on stupid co-worker drama. Also, I feel like it's a bit more of a challenge, level-wise. The kids are more advanced and so I can speak to them normally, instead of being like, "I go to a store. I buy a shirt. It is green. What color is your shirt?" And all that. The only thing I reeeeaaallly don't like is one of my co-workers. She is so unaware/oblivious. Just little things that annoy me. She sits next to me, and her mess had been getting over to my side. At work, I am anally neat and organized. I hate for stuff to be out of place. So when her messes (food, crumbs, papers, books, etc.) gets on my side, it irks the hell out of me. For the past month, I've been putting a stack of books right on the dividing line between our desks, to discourage her from letting her stuff go over. I know it seems petty, but she just needs to respect my space. She's kind of a slob, and I don't want that shite on me.

I've been doing the Insanity workouts for about a month now, and I don't see any sort of results. I know part of it is my diet, but it's hard to find stuff around here. I also feel like the stuff that IS available is too expensive. It's incredibly frustrating to want to eat better foods, and I've been cooking at home for the better part of this last month, but not being able to fully commit to a different food lifestyle is really setting me back. I have more endurance as far as the workouts go, but I feel like my eating habits now are just making me maintain and not changing anything. Hopefully, I can keep doing the workouts and get over this hump.

Really not liking this thunder right now. It's so loud and intimidating.

Married life is awesome. Exactly the same as dating and being engaged was, but with a lot less stress. I/we spent over a year planning for the wedding, and it was stressful. After all the hoopla was over, it was a huge weight lifted off our shoulders, and we have been enjoying every day. So that's the only difference I can see.
