I'm a Mac! We went on Tuesday to go browsing at computers. I was only interested in the Macbook Air models, because I don't have any heavy duty computer functions that I do. The first hurdle I had to get through was the touchpad. There are no separate buttons for right-clicking. I was nearly ready to walk away because if I could not figure out how to right click, this wasn't going to work. Luckily, the people at the Apple store were incredibly helpful with my stupid questions. :) So which one to get.... they had an 11 and 13 inch to choose from for size, and my last laptop was an 11 inch. I bought that one small because I needed it to be small enough for the desks at school, and light enough to carry with me. But I have been so used to it, it seemed strange to go with a bigger screen. My eyes however won, the bigger screen it is. I don't need a ton of memory, so I wanted the model with 128GB memory, and they were all sold out. As were all the stores in our area. So unless we wanted to go to Wisconsin or Michigan Avenue. Hmmm.
I didn't want to spend more on the higher memory, or compromise on the smaller screen. I was pretty bummed. I could order it and have it delivered, but it was going take at least a week for it to arrive. We were going to leave, and maybe check out Best Buy, when someone from the store stopped us and told us to wait. The guy who was helping us told us they were going to give us the 256GB model for the price of the 128GB one. I was completely blown away. They also discounted the apple care for me. It was so unexpected, I was almost in tears that they did this for me given they rarely discount their products.
I love my new laptop. There are a lot of things that are really different, like the Control vs Command button. And how to do a screen capture. Or how to print a picture from a website. Luckily my friends have been helping with all these little things. It is otherwise still just a laptop, but I do love that the charger connects by magnet. On my last two laptops, they have been plug in ports that fail over time. I am very very happy with my choice.
I got to the gym today. I have been majorly slacking since the Color Run. I was sore when we came back from Milwaukee, then I had my weekend to work, and lack of motivation has been haunting me. I haven't gone to weigh in since the day we left for Milwaukee, and I am not going back until I loose the weight I've gained. I need to keep reminding myself of my reasons for doing this. I want to be healthier. I do not want to be the obese pregnant woman. I want to shop at more than 3 stores. I want to be able to fit in the seats of the roller coasters at Six Flags. I want to be able to wrap a single towel completely around me. I want to have some chance of survival in case I'm ever thrust into a Hunger Games type of situation. I mean, seriously, I'd be the first one to go.
Therapy is going ok. Benefits of it are not being seen totally, but I am identifying thought processes that I need to change. Like the disruption that is caused in my life by my worrying about what-ifs. Like something bad happens with someone, and I spend a disabling amount of time worrying about what it means, what if this, what if that, what if I respond this way, and then they respond that way? I can't function. I also have a really hard time not absorbing what I think people think about me. She thinks I'm horrible or stupid, well I must be both, right? I exhaust myself with my worrying, honestly.
Side note, I have decided I don't drink enough wine. I am ready to commit to buying at least 1 bottle of wine each week. Pink Moscato is seriously my luvvah right now. I may be working on my 2nd glass this evening while typing this. I may be pretty buzzed, too. But you won't know for sure because you are just reading some text on a blog, and can't fully experience buzzed Nurse Bearica. Too bad.
Wine good. What ifs bad.
In good news, I get to eat some BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos tomorrow with a friend I haven't seen in a while tomorrow, and I'm super excited. And we finally got new pillows, we loved our current ones to pillow death. Strawberry Vodka is good mixed with pineapple juice and strawberry orange banana juice. Oreo Salted Caramel ice cream at Baskin Robbins is ahhh-may-zing. I'm totally jealous of friends going to Vegas next month and wishing they would stuff me in their luggage, but if not, I just asked that they see LOVE or Zumanity and eat a crepe at Jean Phillipe for me at the Bellagio. I have to brave Babies R Us again soon for a friend's baby shower, and I cringe a little at the promised overwhelmed feeling that will come over me by the hundreds of different fucking pacifiers and bottles, and nipple pads, and baby soaps (that smell amazing, but that's besides the point). I'm either going to grab the first thing I can (that will be good for a gift), OR I'm gonna go home and immediately throw away my BC pills. Let's hope for option A.
2nd glass is finished, and buzzed feeling has intensified to the point that laying down and resting my head on new pillows is necessary. :) Thanks god for spellcheck.
