Hooray for Friday!
I have been in a pretty good mood all week (so far…knock on wood)! It’s so funny when you’re running around living your life…most of the time you don’t have time to slow down and get the blahs! I have been so busy from the time I wake up in the morning–at FIVE a.m. until the time I crash and burn at night. Sure, I do give myself a break every now and then to relax and usually waste some free time online, but certainly not like I used to!
I think much of the reason for my sunny disposition lately is the fact that I’ve changed a lot just in the past few weeks. Minor changes, but lots of them. And that makes a big difference. I think if I can keep minor changes happening in my life constantly….I would feel like I’m accomplishing things…living my life in a more productive way.
I’ve moved to the new apartment. I’ve been working on making it homey and pretty and generally a very cool place to live. There are still lots and lots of things to be done, and that alone can keep me busy for weeks to come! I still haven’t found my birdcage for the bedroom. I want to put up really pretty sheer drapes in the bedroom (I put beautiful burgundy gauze ones up in the living room, and they just blow in the breeze when I have the windows open….nice). I have to assemble the remaining three out of four schoolhouse chairs that I purchased for my dining room. And I also need to find my perfect dining room table (have a couple of thoughts there). Then I want to get a TV for my bedroom…mainly because I just like to have the flickering light when I sleep. I keep the one on in my living room when I go to bed so I can have that flicker, but it’s not quite enough. I have to finish replacing the drawer and cabinet pulls in the kitchen, and I gotta find one of those cool galvanized aluminum magazine racks to lean against the wall in my bathroom. Definitely plenty to keep me occupied for a while…and that’s just the short list!
I have my new responsibilities at work to keep my stress level at a constant near-boil. The procrastination thing comes and goes…..mostly when I feel very overwhelmed. It’s Friday, and I don’t have everything I wanted to accomplish this week even close to being done. Hence this entry! Plus, my assistant slot has yet to be filled, and I know that there will be some shifting of positions happening within the next few weeks, so I don’t see getting any relief in the near, near future. In fact, when I finally DO get an assistant, I will have to train this person. I am not the most patient person in the world. I get very frustrated with my administrative assistant. But then, she’s very easy to get frustrated with. I find myself having to step back and take deep breaths with her. I hope beyond hope that I will get an assistant who’s not a dumbass. I’ve actually had someone talk to me about the position. She’s a little bit older than I am and has been with the company longer, and I have a sneaking suspicion that she actually makes as much if not more money than I do! And she is asking to be my ASSISTANT!! Hey…that would be fine with me. I like her a lot. Too bad it’s not my choice (yeah, this company does a lot of strange things like that).
And then there’s my social life. I guess it’s a minor change, but a situation that’s been happening for a while now. I am single. In a big, big way! I can’t decide if that bothers me a lot or if it is the most perfect situation!! There are times when I look in the mirror and realize that I’m not getting any younger, and that it would sure be nice to have someone “there”….when I wake up in the morning…when I come home at night…someone to share personal jokes with…ups and downs. I have had that a couple times, and for the most part, it was simply wonderful. Of course there were occasional bad times, but the happy and secure times were pure bliss.
But still….I still like going out and being flirtatious and kissing strangers if I want to and giving out my number and teasing guys and catching someone’s eye and..and…!!! And it looks like I will be doing that for a while before I finally (if I finally) settle down!
And then there’s the long-distance thing that I have going on which I don’t feel like getting into right now. I will devote a whole entry to that when I feel like I can really work on getting the story out.
Better get going now….lots to get done today!!!
