Dude. My dream. I am wracking my brain to try and remember it.

I was a Gundam pilot. I was actually piloting Virtue. Allelujah and Kyrios were there and Sumeragi was speaking to me. He and I were fighting these three black mobile suits. One was kind of bigger than the other two and had this big claw thing.

They area we were in reminds me more of a video game. Very flat ground, kind of shimmered and I remember there was water. There was nothing around except for a very tall wall and something like an abandoned high way.

I remember feeling nervous at one point. I know I tried using the GN Bazooka at one point. I remember Allelujah seeming panicked about something. We destroyed one of the smaller of the three. But I can' remember anything more than that, how events played out, or anything. D:

Man, I never have dreams like this.

Walking to work today was really rough. Warmer air came in over Spokane and brought a lot of rain. It cooled down in the evening and then it is warming up again. The problem is it is melting the snow and with the rainfall. . .flooding is a bad problem. Storm drains aren't all cleared around town and so there are a lot of puddles, deep too, that I get to walk through or struggle around.

Not every sidewalk is shoveled and with the melting then freezing over night and melting again. . .there are blocks of uneven iceways to walk on. It is truly amazing I didn't fall and break my leg or neck. This whole winter I haven't fallen, but today I came pretty close.

Mentioning so on twitter, someone linked me to a place to buy snow/ice cleats you slip on over your shoes/boots. It is something I considered, but having a website in front of me, can't exactly make an excuse not to. ;) After a quick look at my bank account, I went ahead and bought a pair. Even though ( hopefully ) all this ice will be gone and we will just be dealing with flooding by the time I get them, I want to be prepared the next time we have ice. It is the beginning of January. There is plenty of time for us to see poor conditions return.

The cleats I got I made sure had replaceable cleats. The brand I was looking at had some really heavy cuty ones that I felt like would be going a bit overboard. The one it recommended, the cleats aren't replaceable which, I dunno. It just seems like a better deal to make sure I get one that allows me to. So I got one in between. STABILisers Sport. I am pretty excited to get them, will make my life easier.

I probably should have ordered a shovel too.

Also! Last night. It was weird. I had to work hard to get into my apartment. What a strange feeling to wander to your own door, put the key in and it won't open. I was so confused. I even stopped and checked to see if I was at the right door. Ha ha ha. ( When honestly, it would be really hard to mix it up as there are only four apartments on the 3rd floor. )

Looking down I noticed my key wasn't in all the way and wouldn't go in. It was bent somehow. I tried just using the wall and bending it back ( if it got bent so easily without me knowing, should be easy right? ) and no luck. I had to act like an evolved monkey and find a place to wedge my key to carefully straighten it back. Took some work, but I got it!

I am feeling extremely exhuasted.

I am really in a bad mood right now when I am at work and just want to be left alone. My boss is gone the next two days. I am considering coming in on Saturday or Sunday to work as I feel like I will fall farther and farther behind if I don't.

As I figure, I got a day off for free and got to go home early a while back because of the freak snow we have been having, so working a Saturday or Sunday for free won't be so bad. Especially if it will help my sanity in the long run.

I didn't take a lunch today. I worked right through it while munching on a muffin.

In news unrelated to work. . .I am feeling a bit down about my image. Mainly my "weight". It's not my "weight" as in a number you could say. . .because I am normal weight for my height. Which is amazing. Most of my life I have been underweight. I just don't like my stomach. For a while I have noticed it and it bothers me when I am sitting down.

I think part of the problem is my coke drinking. In college I cut soda cold and rarely drank it. ( Usually only when I went out for fast food and well, college student. *lol* That wasn't often. ) For a while after college I stopped and for a couple years drank it very little. I drank water, juices, and tea. Juices I was also careful about ( because in some cases they aren't any better than soda. ). I started drinking it again maybe two years ago? Slowly at first and then as the economy got rough, I stopped buying vitamin water and just bought coke. ( Coke is cheaper than V.Water. *lol* )

Yesterday I noticed that in the span of 4 days, I had gone through 10 cans of soda. Plus two bottles 16oz bottles of soda. This is probably the first time in a long time I can't get through an entire week on a 12 pack of soda. That awful and shocking. Obviously a problem. It isn't soda in general, though, but just Coke. As I have vault in my fridge. Ha ha ha.

So I am going to stop drinking it. It will be hard. Because I feel I need to remove temptation and just not buy it ( which is how I went so long without drinking it. ), but one of my favorite mixed drinks uses coke. I guess in those cases I will go out and buy it and in small quantities ( unless I am hosting a party. )

I know that will help. I have gotten better with what I eat, but I know I can improve. I mean when I had to watch my cholesterol while on a medical treatment, I ate really well. I would splurge once in a while ( Like eating a hamburger once a month since I wasn't allowed to eat red meat ha ha. ), but this time it won't be the case. I just get back in the groove of cooking.

And I need to get back into the habit of eating. I find myself now after work just eating very little until I go to bed. I've been averaging about 1.5 meals a day. I know. I know. Not good. And it isn't because money, just lazyness.

Awful. I know.

I am having my last can of coke. Hopefully. WOO.

And I hate chicken and rice, now having some fruit as I was still a little hungry. Dude. I went on a peach binge the last time I bought fruit. That's all I was finding. But I got some citrus stuff. Yum.

I FINALLY finished the drawing meme I started last month. XD;;

Sorry guys. Hakkai is hard. *lol* So I ended up doing all of them except for the first on the computer when I got my computer setup with photoshop. The suck thing? I love my Ribbons. And Vista hates my scanner apparently. Argh. So I took a picture of it. Cleaned it up best that I can. YOU'LL SEE WHY I HAD TO POST THIS instead of just drawing another one. YEAH.

Anyway! I bring you Ribbons, Hakkai, Hixar, Patrick, and Rockman X. :D

( Sketches! )
