Suppose you draw from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards.  What is the probability of drawing a king or a 7?

Yes.  That was one of my homework questions this week in math.  “Probability” is the title of this week’s study material and I had not opened up the book until today when I started this homework.  I’m still working on it, so I’m not done yet.  However, the last 5 questions in my homework have been in relation to cards.   If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you’ll know just why I view this as a conflict of interest for me!  Yeah, I may not be attending meetings, but I have not gambled and I have not had an urge to gamble.  But that would be because I do not put myself into situations where I feel uncomfortable or think I’d end up getting an urge to gamble.  This homework is making me cranky.

I want a do over on this class and to remove this section from the homework!  lol  Not that it will ever happen because there are more NON compulsive gamblers out there than there are of me.  So, I’ll just suffer through it and make a few phone calls as soon as I’m done with the assignments.

Until next time…

I’ve had a pretty busy week at work.  It was payroll, so that always gives me at least two days of work since I do all the tracking of all the leave.  By hand.  And then it’s the quarter so I’ve been working on quarterly reports for OSHA stuff and worker’s compensation claim.  Fun times.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning, wide awake and my body thinking it was time to get up.  It sucks.  I was so sleepy at work today, I thought I was going to fall asleep several times. 

I’ve continued on my upward movement in moods, which makes me incredibly happy.  I’m in a good place mentally and emotionally and I can feel my physical well being changing and shifting for the better as well.  No matter how crappy some of my medical problems can become, my mood seems to stay even. 

I get cranky and I get stabby still, don’t get me wrong, but damn I’m feeling good about me.   And I really think that is one part of the core of my issues.  I wasn’t feeling good about ME and so it just spiraled out of control from there.  Ground zero perhaps for a lot of the problems I put myself through and into.  I’m just glad I’m on this side of things.  I’m still working on becoming a better person and I feel it happening a little bit each day.

I have a protected post running around in my head.  And of course, the only reason it’ll be protected is because of the sensitivity of blogging about work.  While I don’t think  a lot of my coworkers know about this blog, I don’t want to take the chance, ya know?   Right now, work is the bane of my existence.  I find little motivation everyday to get there on time, work hard or show the work integrity and ethics instilled in me while at the police department in Vegas.  I feel more loyalty to that department than I do where I currently work.  Progress, not perfection, right?

Until next time…

O.M.G. May I just say how beautiful it is here in the Ville?  It’s close to 80 degress, the sun is shining and there’s a light breeze to make it not so “hot” out!  Love it!  Bad thing?  I was stuck in the office allllll day long, except on my smoke breaks.  Which, by the way, are now tracked by me on a calendar.  Every day I write down the time I take a smoke break and the time I take a lunch and come back from lunch. 

I woke up feeling all kinds of congested, thanks to falling asleep with my bedroom window open.  I love sleeping with the windows open, but around here and with my freakier than freaky allergies, I can not do it.  Well, so far, I’ve done it twice this year already!  I regret it and I pay for it for a full day afterward. 

Hopefully I don’t forget to shut it tonight.  I open all the windows as soon as I get home from work and I remember to close all but my bedroom one.  Booo

I have tons of school work to do tonight, which I’m not really looking forward too, but whatev.  I must get it most of it done by Saturday at noon and the rest can wait a few days while I focus on math over the weekend.

I’ve been drinking more water lately, which has really helped in how I’m feeling.  It seems whenever I get out of the habit of doing that, I go months and months before getting back into the healthier habit.  At least I get there, right?

I don’t really have any meaningful message today.  I’m still in a good space emotionally and I’m loving the weather (even though the allergies are NOT enjoying the weather!)

Until next time…
