Sick

Well I didn't really get to bed after my post on wednesday. I ended up going out for a little... um....fun. Yeah let's stick with that. Then proceeded to only get 4 hours sleep. Woke up feeling sicker than a dog complete with sore throat. I have my coworker (resident computer guy) who was sick all week but came in anyways, who had to fix my computer every damn day this week. My fault for not sanitizing after. But I went to work anyways as there was no way I couldn't. Even stayed for OT. Thank god friday was smoother and I got out on time.

Today I'm supposed to meet someone for coffee/drink but I really just want to stay on my couch. Heading over to a friends later on and we're going to watch football tomorrow! I'm excited. Which is weird cause I'm a baseball gal. But we're doing a pool at work and I've been leading for the last 3 weeks and we go 4 then start fresh again. I just need to get enough to keep my lead with tomorrow's games and I'll win $80. I could really use the money so I'm hoping!

Then it's back to work I go..... thank god everyone *should* be back on monday! Yay.

Busy.

Wow. I haven't been this busy at work in ages. It's fun. Uh huh. Don't get me wrong - I love being busy. But this kind of busy is NUTS.

Did a bit of OT today.....the scary part? Tomorrow and friday are going to being even worse. Wasn't sure it was possible but I think it is.

I even cancelled a 'date' tonight. I'm just not one for planning much during the week - especially a week like this.

Gave my notice tonight.... sad but I need to move. My landlady is sad too but understands. But it may all be working out for the best. My new neighbor is having a lot of problems with his roof and doesn't want to leave but now he may just take my suite.

Now I'm just waiting for my laundry and then I'm totally heading to bed.

Weekend never looked so good!

It's been a while since I've looked forward to a weekend this much. I had the most stressful and exhausting week at work complete with meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Ugh. Work is piled on that's for sure. But, I did score my very own parking spot! Yay. And all I had to do was ask.

Back on the dating scene it appears. Nobody really in particular yet but we'll see I guess. Really was hoping for 'something' with a certain someone but we're staying friends. And I think after some thought on it, I'm ok with it. Just not meant to be ya know?

Talking to a few new guys..... all seem nice - well maybe a couple weirdos but it appears you can't escape those.

And now I must get ready.... going out with friends and I have a feeling I'm going to be very intoxicated by the end of the night. Yay. Been far too long.

It never fails....

Why is that the guys that I want never feel that same? Or if they do, it's very fleeting?

And why is that the guys I have no feelings toward whatsoever are the ones that really want to pursue a relationship with me?

Hmpf.

Honestly, it's a bit tiring. But I feel good in the knowledge that if it was just about 'having a boyfriend' I would be with one of the latter and I'm still choosing to remain single. I think that says a lot. As much as I think I'm ready for 'something' and wanting for 'something', maybe I'm supposed to be taking care of everything else right now so that I'm really ready when 'something' comes.

Yeah. I like that theory. A lot.

Lately I've been feeling like I did in January...... like 'something' was about to happen. It did then so I'm hoping for a repeat but with a better outcome.

So the past few months have been such a roller coaster of emotions that I'm happy to feel like the ride is coming to an end.

Between guys, financial worries and friend conflicts, it's all been very tiring.

I sense a fresh start on the near horizon and that makes me smile.



July wasn't very eventful until the end.... hit another Mariners game with S.... but that was about it. August was another story! The first week I housesat for a coworker, had a coworkers wedding on the 5th, company picnic on the 12th, a few days away at the cabin with S, baseball games with work, and a certain poker night with work people that I will never forget. Sigh. Pretty happy it's September actually :)

A couple things that are noteworthy:

My ex-husband adding me to his msn while he's traveling in Europe and being on this great level with him that we can be "friends" which I think is so healthy. We're not buddies or best friends by any means but I think it says a lot that after 10 years of knowing him we can talk to eachother and have a normal conversation with no bitterness. It's great.

Achieving a big step with cutie at work, however fleeting and over it is now, I will enjoy that moment for a long time.

Figuring out the first step in getting out of my financial worries with a pending move date of November 1st. Something I definately have to do.

Being absolutely and positively ready to move into the next chapter of my life, whatever that may hold. I say 'bring it'.

Apologies....

...... not even sure if anybody still checks this but I am so sorry! Almost 2 months..... and not much to report.

I will come back later with an update.
