Every time I write an entry like I did last night, I get a bit apprehensive. I immediately want to take it back and apologize for being such a basket case. It’s taking everything in my power not to go and hide it right now. I can’t promise I won’t still do it.
I was just going through my photos on Flickr, and there is one from November 11, 2012, where I’m talking about how the weather feels like Spring. I remember that day. It was in the 70s and I got my last mani/pedi of the year. So, I’ll try not to complain about the cold lingering so much since the warmth obviously lingered for a while last fall. Not making any promises, mind you, but I’ll try.
I didn’t sleep very well last night. I went to bed about 1:30am, and I read until I fell asleep. But then I was up at 5:30am. The “non-working” medication I was complaining about last night finally kicked in apparently!
I do feel a lot better today.
Had an awesome phone call this morning with one of the freelance clients I’m working for. I really like this company and the work and the people I work with a lot. One of the reasons is that I get to use Track Changes in the things I’m editing, and guys…I really like using Track Changes. She asked if I’d be interested and available to take on more work as they go into their busy season. Um… YES and YES. I feel blessed when I get to do work I enjoy and get paid for it too.
So, it’s Monday, and here’s what’s on my plate this week:
01. projects for DSA 🙂
02. Moksha newsletter
03. babysit tomorrow morning
04. clean Aidan’s room (this is mostly Adam’s job but I’ll do the fiddly-diddly things that he misses)
05. buy “filler” and gifts for Aidan’s Easter basket
06. put away laundry and clean my side of the room
07. teacher training homework
08. possible onsite project for VSA Thursday morning
09. get Aidan from airport Thursday night (this means dinner at Pop’s beforehand. yummy!)
10. make Aidan’s Easter basket
11. buy a few Aidan-specific groceries
It’s a quiet week, so I should be able to do all of this without any trouble. Adam just went off to Ikea to get a new mattress. 🙂 That’s some good stuff. I’ve had the mattress we use now since 2006. I guess it’s time to replace it. We’re getting one with the individually wrapped springs so that when he tosses and turns, I don’t get thrown up to the ceiling.
Oh my God. Am I becoming boring? I just wrote a paragraph about mattresses. That means it’s time to sign off.
Till next time.
Yeah, grownup life is about the little things like mattresses. I was talking to a friend about that not long ago and pointed out how movies make out like sex all over the place is fun, when in reality proper back support is a must, at least for those of us in our 40s. Good-bye floors and tabletops. Hello, reality. 🙂
Ha ha ha!!! I never even thought of that. I’m just trying to get a decent sleep.
Take it easy with those backbends! Happy Weekend!
Right? So of course I went to another back bending workshop the next week and we did even deeper ones. But I was better for this one. Maybe I’m getting used to them. My quadriceps were screaming at me for two days, though!
your blog is here for you. Never apologize for writing anything and you didn’t really come off as a basket case anyway 😛
I was just thinking this morning about how awesome it is that they pay me here because most of the time it’s fun and not work. Awesome when you actually enjoy your job 🙂
we’re gonna have to buy a mattress for the guest room soon. I was thinking Ikea too 😛
Thank you so much for your support, Lissy. <3 I can tell that you love your job. I remember reading your day in the life post and it seemed so joyful everytime you talked about being in the offices and chatting with your co-workers. It’s such a blessing. 🙂
The mattress we got from Ikea is really nice and comfy. I love it!
Beautiful photo!
Getting paid to work is always nice 🙂 I love money! I am in love with money! lol
I love the spring and summer time… My two favorite seasons of the year.
Aww, thank you. I took the picture then I used an app called Vintique to color it.
Ha ha!
My husband quotes–I think a comedian–who says “Everyone needs money. That’s why they call it money!”
I am so eager for spring and summer to really get here and stick. We just had a couple of decent days but then it got cold again. If it could just stay above the 50s…. but we usually get 50s until mid-June, so I’m in for it.
thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
It’s so nice when you enjoy the work you are doing cause than it doesn’t really feel like work 🙂
I know! Sometimes it’s seriously fun! 🙂
