Miscellaneous Catching Up
I’ve really not been in a talkative mood lately. Things at work still bug me, but at least the stress of “I have to deal with this forever” is gone. It’s been replaced by the “I gotta find a job” stress. I had an interview on Friday that I thought went really well. It’s a government job, which would be sweet, and it’s with an agency that I have an inkling of inside knowlege about because of my current job. Hopefully that was enough to push me to the top of the list. In the meantime, I’ll keep pounding the pavement.
Last night I slept. No big surprise there, but the length of time I slept was. I decided to close my eyes around 8:30pm, figuring I’d sleep for a few hours then get up and get online for awhile, then go back to sleep for a few hours. Nope. I got out of bed around 9:30 this morning. I didn’t sleep solidly the whole time, but rather just rolled out of bed when I felt like it. I feel so well rested; it’s a glorious thing. I should enjoy it while it lasts.
I finally got the rest of the stuff for my sister and packaged it up. Now I just need to get it to the post office and get it sent out. Hopefully that will be out Monday or Tuesday. I can’t wait for her to get it, she’ll be thrilled.
My mom is having Boo baptized next week. I wish I could go - those sort of things are the reasons why I miss them so much. I can’t just jump on a plane and fly home for every little thing, and I am getting really tired of being the person who visits once a year. I hate going home and having a bunch of people to check off my list, it doesn’t even feel like I’m visitng or spending quality time with them anymore. I just have a huge list of people to see and check them off. It sucks, I tell ya, sucks.
I went out with The Man tonite. He’s had a heck of a few days. Now that I know what’s been going on somewhat, I totally get why contact has been slim. But I dunno, maybe it’s just that I’m being impatient or something. I like him. I really like him. And if something is going to happen, which I hope it will, then I’m just not used to it happening this slowly. I just need to have more patience.
I guess that’s it for now. I’m just not feeling like sitting at the computer right now. I think I’ll just have some dessert and get to bed at a decent hour (as in, before midnight). Later y’all.
i know what you mean about how bad it sucks not to be home for stuff. and how terrible those one year visits are…i think that’s why i don’t think i could live here permanently. i always wanted to, but after arriving and staying a bit, i just know i need to be surrounded by my family. i commend you for being able to prevail past that.
as for the man, glad things make sense. and maybe it’s a good thing it’s moving this slow…
and yay for your sister’s package! i’m sending a package to my sister as well!
