Saturday Blahs
Worst combination ever: boredom and laziness. My body does not want to move from this couch, but my brain is screaming for engagement. I did suggest a game of Monopoly to Lisa, but I think she doesn’t like to play with me because I always beat her. I am ruthless when it comes to Monopoly. I once beat a guy in five turns.
But I digress. I’ve watched all the TV/movies I think I can handle in one day, and the internet is not particularly interesting right now. I am sometimes capable of spending hours and hours browsing websites, but it seems so… mundane at the moment.
Oh, I know, I am just oozing ennui. I can feel you feeling sorry for me.

So this is day 4 of getting up at 5-something A.M. Can a person be simultaneously asleep and awake? I know I’m tired, but I guess the stimulation of working in the new office is keeping me going. You should see what I’ve done to that place in the last 3 days. Good thing I love to organize.
It also seems like no matter how little sleep I get the night before, I just cannot make myself go to bed at 9. Everything in me rebels against it. I’m such a night person! 9 is when I start my most productive hours of the day! Why would I want to waste them sleeping? Well… I guess I’d better get used to it, because I can only run on adrenaline so long. 5 hours of sleep per night is not a long-term solution. And God knows if I ever do get myself used to this schedule, weekends are going to ruin it all. I remember reading somewhere that you’re only supposed to sleep in 2 hours later than usual on weekends. So, you want me to get up at 7 in the morning on a Saturday? Just not gonna happen.
Anyway, I didn’t mean for this to turn into a 6-page essay on my sleeping habits. What I really wanted to say was that although it’s been a little difficult (sleep AND commute-wise… I now have a 45-minute drive to work), I actually like the new office a lot. It’s nothing all that special this minute, but I am going to turn it into such a well-oiled machine that my boss is going to cry when I (eventually) go off to school. Woo!

Hey, y’all! Been a little while. I’ve been a busy girl.
1. I finagled my way into a full-time job! My boss initially offered me the position I wanted, but not the hours or the pay rate. I like working for her (most of the time), but did she seriously expect me to pay the bills working 24 hours a week? For real? So I joined forces with the two other front desk girls and we stormed our boss’s inbox with a proposal that would make everyone happy. Now, I’m working full-time, getting the experience I need, and I didn’t have to go through the pains of finding a new job. Score!
2. Bridal shopping was a smashing success, and it was SO wonderful to see Sam. Here’s the dress I got:
3. I got glasses! I can now embody the gorgeous geek I am inside. Oh, and I can see stuff. (Picture below because I have apparently offended the WordPress gods and they are sabotaging my alignment as a result. They are vengeful gods.)
The living situation is still up in the air for now. My parents graciously gave me an unbeatable deal on my rent, so I will probably stay put. BUT, if the condo goes up for sale I may end up moving to a more central location, so we’ll just have to see how the market analysis pans out. More updates soon!

Well, beloved readers, I have some bad news. I didn’t get into either school I applied to. I don’t know why, and applications aren’t open for questioning until April. I am very bummed.
But, you know me, I’ve always been an optimist. I’ll have to be adjusting my plan for the next year, but that could mean some very different and exciting possibilities. I could upgrade my current job to work as a PT aide, become an EMT for the year, or hell, do something entirely unrelated to PT. Maybe some time to just work and be a self-sustaining adult (almost, anyway) could do great things for me. Maybe I’ll move to Denver anyway. Maybe I’ll move to London for a bit. Who knows? The year is wide open, and it seems now, while I’m young and unattached to a husband and children, would be a great time to test my wings a little.
