A few thoughts

These may not be enough to make up a blog post of their own, but maybe they can come together and be one together.  

The lies we tell ourselves: 

So I bought some cookies last Saturday, and as I was ordering they gave the calorie information too. I thought that was pretty nice, but as I said they were cookies, so I’m looking and it says 100-150 calories max (which looks like per cookie).  I split them up, put a few in the freezer for safe keeping, and packed one sandwich cookie in my lunch to treat myself the next day (and have a few nibbles that night).  So, extra day I’m at work eating this cookie thinking there’s no way this cookie is even 200 calories with how sweet it is and the frosting middle, so as I am munching I decide to go back and take a closer look at the nutritional value for the cookies I just bought.  I look and see my mistake, 100-150 calories per serving, and depending on the cookie it could be 3-5 servings.  Okay, this makes a little more sense now... I scroll down to the cookie that’s in my hand (800+ calories!) Yikes! I stop eating and am thankful I don’t end up in a sugar coma from thinking I could eat it all and be fine.  Said cookie is still in my lunch box and is being eaten a little slower then it was that first day, closer to the 100ish calories I blissfully thought it was. 

Mind over matter: 

There was a mention of mind over matter in a book I was reading, a character thought that if you believe you aren’t sick (when you are) you won’t be sick. I may believe that for being sick, as had a bad cough a month or so ago and still felt like I could do anything. Well, not anything but my body was fine, I wasn’t too congested that I was blowing my nose every two minutes, and felt fine enough to go to the store, to work out and to go to work. Not to say I wasn’t taking any medication, but that knew I was sick but felt like I could go through out the day without coughing up a storm or disrupting people or even get looks from people at the store or at work. I knew I was capable of getting up and working out and didn’t need to stay in bed all day until I was better. 

That being said (sorry if any of you are male readers) I may feel differently about having my period. No need to get into gore or details, but as things go sometimes I just want to lay in a ball and wait for the pain to go away.  During that time it’s a push to do things. I mean I still go to work, but on my days off do I want to get up and workout? No, but I make myself get up, even if it is a half job of a workout, even if it is to just take a shower and go to the store.  It may be a bit of mind over matter, but once I have done these tasks, you bet I will be a couch potato for the rest of the day sometimes.

I'm sitting here now, trying to figure out what else to write.  I had these two thoughts (and titles) ready to be down, but to make it a third (to be a correct few) I am now struggling.  I don't want to force it, but I don't want it to be something stupid too like thinking of the food truck outside and wondering why.  Welcome to Arizona, where Fry Bread is a thing, but no offense it is not my thing.  Fry bread burger or taco sounds good, but when the food was put in front of me it just didn't make sense, and wasn't easy to cut like a pizza, and how do I eat this?  

See, now that I'm typing I feel like I could go for a while, but that's not what I intended (at least not this time).  The other two are things I thought about the last couple days and had some real thoughts, this was just spur of the moment what can I write.  Now which of these is not like the other?  Although looking two are about food so...and maybe as the reader you see something that I don't. 

Other thoughts that were roaming around/can I write a decent amount and not think ugh this isn't what I wanted include:  How my hair annoys me sometimes, these cool socks I have on, that came with bonus cards (that have to do with a game I own), how it feels almost impossible to do just one thing at once now (ex. sitting down and just watching a movie) and lastly why do headphones suck?

Seriously though, I had a pair of wireless headphones that I use for my computer, 8-10 months in only one bud decides to work, and a year and a half in it just doesn't want to keep charge anymore.  Strange thing is my boyfriend has the same pair, and his seem fine.  So I find a replacement headset, I think will be better not stuck in my ear but wrapped around, although the cushion part on top of my head gives me a headache sometimes  And once again the right side is dead (possibly a cat eating it) and the left side kind of works.  I know headphones aren't meant to last forever, and maybe this replacement was a cheap version, but it should have lasted a little longer than six weeks.
