One day until Valentine's Day! And I know it's totally weird that I'm excited about this. I don't care.
It's a lot better than being lonely and bitter, I say. There isn't much I could do to change it either so I'll just continue to celebrate. Although I'm a little late on my cards, so they'll end up being post-holiday reminders. ha. People are going to hate me, aren't they? =P
So, remember that guy from the bank? The one that kept asking all those questions about me and showed up at the office to ask my age/invite me to the movies. Well, he came back today. And he was throwing some serious stones my way. Like the pebbles at the balcony window kinda 'stones'.
I was already sitting at the back desk working on some stuff so at least I had a reason to head back there, instead of it seeming like I was hiding. The first thing I heard was something about how he tried "to invite someone to the movies" but they never got back to him. I laughed and said it was very difficult to hear anything in the back where I was.
Then later I was up front setting up appointments and they were talking about health care/doctors. He made a really loud comment about how he never has to see the doctor, he's totally healthy, and he may be old but he's in great shape....Hint~hint, NUDGE~NUDGE!
At this point all I can do is laugh. Just chuckle to myself and not make any comments. It doesn't make any difference to be embarrassed anymore. Or shy. Or put off by the whole idea. Now it's like some joke that'll last the rest of our lives and I'm going to play it off as such.
By the way, I don't know if I mentioned that he's no longer working at the bank? That sorta makes it easier to avoid. hah. Oh, AND it turns out he's like 40 or 41! Much older than I even thought. No wonder he said I was a baby!
Anyways, I'm looking into heading out to Seattle in June. Thing is, if all plans go through, my schedule will look something like: Vegas in May, Birthday, Seattle, Vegas, and possible road trip out to Arkansas/all over the country. Then Dallas in October.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm stoked about a schedule like that. I always say that I'd like to make enough money every year just to be able to travel. This would kind of satisfy that whole thing. One Vegas trip is pleasure and the other is work. The Seattle visit would include time with Ryan and possible baby time with Marie and the new little one [if the timing is right]. I might be able to accomplish some Bucketlist items too.
It would probably be hard to get everything sorted out and it's going to cost me quite a bit of money to do all this, but I love the idea of roaming the country this year. I need some kind of focus for the summer. My hobby plans haven't worked out [maybe because I can't find a good hobby to stick with] and I would really like to check some things off my list. You never know when you're going to run out of time and I don't want any more regrets. It'll be great to focus on myself and all my plans for a while.
Also, I'm thinking about getting my license for next year. It's just at a point where it would be better to have it in case of emergency. Some days we get stuck with no one to help and it would be good if I could cover some of that. I still dread the idea of having to go back to school though if there were a way to skip the school part and just take the test I'd be all for it. I know I can do everything and it would just take a small amount of studying to catch up on all the detailed law/theory stuff that I don't memorize.
We'll see. I know that this isn't the business I wanted to get into for the rest of my life, but the world laughs at all our plans doesn't it? It is a glorious work situation and I'm already poised to take over the office, it's just....this? forever? Not sure I can stand that idea.
I guess in the long run it doesn't really have to be forever. It can be for just right now. While we figure everything else out. I would only have to make sure I don't get stuck out of obligation. That tends to be an issue for me. I'll let it work itself out.
rose.
