Speak Up

One of the themes of this course I'm taking is speaking up, speaking out. Voicing my thoughts. I'm not good at doing that...I tend to simmer self-righteously and then a) slink away and feel angry about a situation, or b) blow up.

Neither of these work.

Spoke up to my supervisor this morning, after she called me out rather cattily in a mass email to our group. I received two IMs afterwards saying "Wow, what was that?" So I sent her a nice email saying it bothered me.

She immediately went on the defensive, albeit politely, saying no one noticed. Um, too bad someone did notice...two someones at least...but hey. I did speak up. She is aware I'm displeased.

Class was cancelled tonight, so I came home, had a healthy dinner of Wheat Thins, cheese and tea. Um, I realize this isn't the healthiest dinner. But I didn't want PB&J again, and I don't have pots and pans yet, so...

Hey, it's dinner.

I am defrosting some turkey dogs for tomorrow night, however. They are microwaveable!

Did some freelance work and exercised. I have an exercise ball that I got to use part-time with the desk, as it's good for abs and posture. Tonight I actually used it for exercise, attempting to do some of the moves that come with it, which ended in disaster but probably worked a few muscle groups. Also did some cord stuff. And there was the general channel-surfing, a nice shower, and now I'm just stretched out on the couch, enjoying the evening.

I am definitely breaking out. Sigh. This is what happens when you start these medications. Ah well. Let it be done with quickly.

I've ordered a couple of prints, one for the bedroom and one for above the desk. I am very excited to get those framed and set up when I get in.

Tomorrow is the dentist, which...meh...yay. I'm hoping the rain clears up a bit - it's been exceptionally nasty the last couple days, and we had thunder and lightning straight through. Of course it's SoCal, so no one can really drive in it...

Wife Swap is goths vs. hockey players. Gotta see at least half of it.
