So my allergies followed me home when I got back I came back with a head cold. Took some time off work to rest up.
I'm feeling better but I still have a cough. My nose is clearing up which is good!
I took some time this weekend to rest and also attend a wedding for one of my very good friends. Did a bit of catching up with some other friends as well.
It's starting to get colder.
CAMP starts tomorrow. I'm pretty excited! This year one of my goals for it is not to just learn lots, but to try to network with a few people.
Now that I work for someone that is kind of in the industry, it seems relevant now to network with the other attendees.
I just hope it'll be a bit different and that there will be more open opportunities to network inbetween sessions. :)

Lowering my expectations
So lately I've been pretty irritable.
The slightest repetitive sounds tick me off, and since I'm a light sleeper, if I can hear everything that is going on in the evening when I'm trying to sleep, it annoys me as I can't fall asleep without getting disrupted.
I've been super cranky.
I've done pretty well not to get super frustrated and vent, but ah it's time to stop bottling it in/
I just did some reading online on how to deal with it, and one of the steps was to write it out in a journal if you can't vent it to someone else or a friend, so that's what I'm doing now.
I'm irritated because I'm in a different routine and in a different environment. I'm used to quietness and everyone sleeping at the same time and being quiet at night. I'm also not used to people talking loudly when I am working.
So what I tried to do was wear noise cancelling earphones to help and to play relaxing music. I also did some meditation.
However I haven't really been getting a lot of good sleep and that"s mostly why I'm super cranky.
My diet is also pretty bad right now. My allergies are acting up. T_T
So yeah... I need more sleep. I need to eat healthier, get back into my routine, go to the gym, and meditate.
The posts I read also said to think about how getting annoyed helps... as it doesn't at all. And to also give people the benefit of the doubt, they don't do these things to annoy you. Also showing no reaction to people who intentionally do it, would bore them and they wouldn't do it again.
It's also made me realize I really need to lower my expectations for people. Like super low.
But this concept is so had for me because there's like a few things I expect, such as people doing the chores, instead of me doing it all the time. Obviously if I don't bring it up, they might not realize that they are not doing these chores, which then if I don't react, I am stuck with getting them done on my own as this is my expectation.
So I believe some expectations must be a bit higher than low at least....

Fall is here
It's September now... whoa. Summer felt like it flew by so quickly.
A quick summary of my Summer would be there it was full of work and catching up with friends. A lot of food outings too...
It was also the point of the year where I went through more with my IG and YouTube. I will continue this into the Fall. :)
Sunday - After Street Eatery, I went and ordered a pizza and some bread sticks... I could only finish the pizza. All good though, it was delicious. I tried to eat some of the breadsticks but they were not that great at all.
Monday - Spent the day traveling and then just relaxed in BC with the famjam.
Tuesday - Relaxed some more and then went to 88 buffet with the famjam. I was so sleepy after that.
Friday - Just watched a lot of YouTube and some Meteor Garden.
Saturday - I slept in for quite a bit, went to the mall with the famjam and got a few t-shirts, also went to Denny's for dinner. Watched some Meteor Garden and then went to Wal-Mart for some groceries and now I'm just relaxing until I have to sleep.
Sunday - I had to work today and barely got any sleep! So much was going on last night. I feel pretty cranky today from the lack of sleep. I'm going to watch some YouTube and do some video editing tonight and then get some sleep.
Update, I took a nap... I feel refreshed and just finished editing.
