I guess you could say I’m three for three now.  Three days, three posts.  Well, okay, so there are more than three posts, but I’m keeping up the momentum.  I just got off the phone with Tom.  I miss him terribly.  It was wonderful having him around for such a long time, but I’m really sad that the time is over.  Plus, he’s been in an area where he’s roaming or can’t get a signal so we hadn’t been able to talk.  We talked for a couple of hours this afternoon, but he is once again in a place were he doesn’t get a signal.  He’s taking a shower now and will text me, but texting just isn’t the same. Which reminds me.  I want to transcribe some of his texts to a word document so I can clean out my inbox.  Maybe I’m sentimental or maybe I’m just sappy, but there are some texts in there that I just don’t want to lose.  The first time he told me he loved me.  The first time he said he liked me.  The ten texts telling me wonderful things about me that he loves.  Those mean a lot to me.  I don’t want to lose them.  Call me silly, if you want.  Words have power.  I’m currently letting  my phone charge (hey, several hours of talking will drain a battery!) so I’ll have to do the transcribing later.  But I miss him terribly.  Not being able to talk is horrible.  Its probably selfish, but I want him here with me so I can share life with him.  I love him.  He means the world to me.  I just hope he knows that!

I just took an ipersonic personality test and this is the result:

I’m still talking to a tomato - I’m not sure if it qualifies as talking to a fruit or a vegetable.  *sigh*  The profound questions in my life today.  My stomach aches have been much better (gee, I wonder why?) although I did hurt my toe.  How, I don’t know.  I just know it hurts.

Ha.  My cat is curled up with my shoes.  The slippers, the sneakers, and the black heels.  *shakes head*

I’m going to the game tomorrow night! Woot!  My dad’s even going to drive me back to the park and ride so I don’t have to pay to park in the city.  Yippee!  Hopefully, we’ll make it out before the fireworks go off.  Me+fireworks=panic.  Not fun.  And I love fireworks!

Ha.  There’s a cat behind me on my chair.  I didn’t know that till now.  I’ve got both cats.  And a spiced cider candle.  And I found my little Starbucks espresso mug that I use to catch change in.  It was on a shelf in my closet.  Understandably, since I empty it into a container in my closet.

My worst fear has happened.  Well, not my worst fear every, but one of my worst fears about work.  I’m going to be responsible for doing all three fraud reports.  *sigh*  I think I can get them done, but I don’t know about doing them, the loan checks, and the other reports.  Not to mention rendering statements and prepping sig cards.  Next week shall be interesting.  And hectic.  I guess I’m going to budget for coke icees every day after work.

I need more minutes.  ‘Nuff said.

Watch for the Friday Five!

Good evening everyone.  Its once again time for me to inform you of the wonderful plans I have for the week.  Don’t worry, this won’t take long.

5/19 - Go to work.  Come home.  Eat dinner.  Go to sleep.

5/20 - Go to work.  Come home.  Eat dinner.  Go to sleep.

5/21 - Go to work.  Come home.  Eat dinner.  Go to sleep. (Nope, no therapy appointment this week.)

5/22 - Go to work.  Come home.  Eat dinner.  Go to sleep.

5/23 - Go to work.  Come home.  Eat dinner.  Go to sleep.

5/24 - Sleep in.  Relax.

5/25 - Go to church, hopefully.  Laundry. Clean.

I will be doing various activities such as talking on the phone to my friend, finding three positive things for each day (therapy homework), spending time on the internet, etc. 

My view of the world is a very negative one.

(more…)

5/5 - Monday. That means work.  I have to remember to take my new prescription at lunch, which means I have to remember to take it to work with me.  Maybe I’ll grab some and stick it in a different bottle and not take the whole prescription with me.  Considering how late it is, I’ll probably be doing laundry - towels.  We don’t think we’ll have enough time to do them today, especially if I want to wash my bed.

5/6 - Work again.  I really don’t have anything planned. Watching NCIS will probably be the highlight of the day.

5/7 - Ah, Wednesday.  Halfway through the week.  Down to business - therapy tonight.  Hopefully, I won’t end up as upset as I did last week.  I don’t want to go through that stomach ache again.

5/8 - More work.  Then rushing to see my psychiatrist.  I’ll have to tell him about my new meds and how I’ve been doing.  Which is not so good.  *sigh* Trash day. *double sigh*  This week we throw the kitty litter out.

5/9 - FRIDAY!!  Last day of work for the week.  Mom and I might just go out to dinner.

5/10 - Weekend!  Sleep - I sleep a lot on the weekends.  Possibly some cleaning.  Possibly.  Still have work to do on the dining room table.  Then what else needs to be cleaned?  The office - I have to put all of my books away.  I could do that.  And Mom’s room needs to be cleaned. And the living room could use a sprucing up.  We should sweep and Swiffer Wet Jet the place, too.

5/11 - Mother’s day.  I’ll spend the day with Mom. We’ll probably do laundry, and will try to get to church.  Again.  Stupid stomach.

Well, that’s my week.  How’s yours?

Stealing from Sarah

4/28 - Well, its kinda over for me. Its 8:55 pm and I’m about to go to bed. Just had work today. It was awful. I felt awful. If I had been able to, I would have gone home at about 10 am. Last 45 minutes of the day sucked horribly. I wish my supervisor would make up her mind. But, clean room, candle lighted, room lighted up, computer and kitty so much better now. If only my stomach would agree….

4/29 - Tuesday. Guess what! I’m going to that joy-filled place known as work. Once again I’ll be racing through my reports trying to get them done early enough. And helping out with wires. I wonder if Kiera will be there. She might have gone into labor this afternoon. Just what I need - my back up to go missing on me. Poor Kiera, though. She’s not due till June.

4/30 - Pay day! I get to go to all my billing websites and pay my bills. Doesn’t that sound like fun? Discover (this month and next month), MBNA (which is really Bank of America, but it was MBNA when I got the card!), and phone. Well, can’t quite pay the phone yet. The bill won’t be ready until after the 4th of May. Silly Verizon. Also find out what my employee discount will get me in the way of car insurance. If it goes like the quotes I got today, I’ll be sticking with what I have, even if it did go up $98 for no apparent reason. Oh yeah, I have therapy today. Joy.

5/1 - Just another day. Maybe getting some laundry done - my bed, I think. Though its a risky thing to do on a short night. Might have to stay up late letting it dry. Must empty the dishwasher. And it’s Thursday - trash day.

5/2 - Friday! One last day at work and I get to go home to my nice clean kitchen and room. Did I mention I cleaned up the kitchen this weekend?

5/3 - Yay! I get to sleep in. Or wake up and go back to sleep, however you want to describe it. Must work on dining room and solve the weekly dilemma - whether or not to go to Seeds. Probably won’t happen. Damn Terry.

5/4 - Maybe this Sunday I’ll wake up early enough to check out St. Stephens. Must find church. So far Mom’s liked Sharon Presby and I like St. Phillip’s. Twill be interesting to see what the service is like. If I can wake up early enough. Laundry day.

So that’s my week. It will also be cold, wet, and, thank God, not snowy. I like all the spring flowers, but ’tis almost time for them to be gone. Petals are falling. The grass in the backyard looks like it has dandruff. And the clock strikes nine o’clock. (Okay, so its a few minutes and an hour off. I won’t tell if you won’t!)

Edit: 5/2 - getting together with Knitting Mama.

I cleaned my room.  Its the cleanest its been for literally years.  I just have some laundry to do and the two window seats to clean out (mostly not even my stuff). But the floor’s are clean (well, you can see them.  I still have to get the vacuum up here) and the bed is made (mostly).  My desk (formerly known as the kitchen table) has both chairs in and room to read and write.  My printer is set up (but I haven’t moved everything to the new surge protector [my old one is in the computer room downstairs]) and my coffee table has no junk on it.  I still have to get out the great number pad Dad bought me for my computer and maybe set up my web cam (though I don’t know why.  I don’t have anyone to web cam with or for).  I’ve got a little light on the coffee table, a light on the end table, a light on my desk, a light on my dresser (and a cat *glare*), and a light on my nightstand.  I have two alarm clocks (yes, I need two).  My A/C is on (it gets really hot and stuffy up here and its already in the 70s - and you don’t even want to know about the sun I get!) and my room is nice and cool.  I have to hang up some clothes - well, sorta. I’m one pant hanger short.  Anyone have a spare pant hanger? Oh wait!  I have Huggable Hangers TM - I can make one. *bounce*  I forgot about that!  I have my laundry bags set up (although they are FULL of laundry).  My kitchen area is looking better, though I’m still missing a bunch of pots and pans.  I wonder where they ran off to.  I think I might be able to fit a small book case up here - one from Ikea, once I’ve saved up some money (very hard to do.  I have a lot of expenses - but that’s another post).  Light wood.  Well, I best be off to bed, while I’m still feeling accomplished.

Its been over ten days since I posted. That’s a long time. What have I been up to? Well, the truth is not much. I get up at 5/530 every day and don’t get home from work until about six. On Tuesdays I have to drive back across town for small group and on Wednesdays I go straight to the chiropracter. *sigh* I just don’t have that much energy when I get home. I’m so tired. I have no idea if I’m going to adjust to this or spend the next unknown amount of years feeling tired every weekday. I’m hoping for the former. Really hoping for the former. As you all know my sister got engaged less than a month than a month ago. So I’ve resolved to lose 30 to 40 lbs by 6/6/09. I’m not doing so well with this so far. I’ve actually gained weight since I started working. Since I’m doing a lot more walking I am more than a little confused. Does sitting on a bus cause weight gain? Maybe I’m just not walking fast enough. I don’t know about that one - I end up with sore shins everytime and I’m sure as heck trying to get out of the cold! The cold is bearable (I’m good at bundling up) but I’m definately not looking forward to the summer. It can get so hot.

I’ve gotten my finances all worked out. For the next five years. And I’ve already done my taxes. I want that refund. With that I should be able to pay off one card by May. Well, that’s if I can keep my personal expenses down to $250 a month. *sigh* Not going to be easy. And its going to be that way for the next two and a half years. *double sigh* That’s everything - gas, prescriptions, food, etc. I’m not going to have any play money. And I probably won’t have any for the next two and a half years. Are we getting the theme here? I may have to stop my chiro appts. I’m not sure if I can afford them. I already owe them something like $78. I still don’t have my health cards for insurance that was supposed to start on January 2. I’m still waiting for my new debit card and pin number. Yes, I changed banks. Again. Citizen has ATMs in the lobby. Its that easy. Anyways, I went to pay all my bills yesterday but I was only able to hit one of the three. Changing bank accounts has caused trouble. Bank of America wants confirmation. Yes, they want me to type in the stupid little deposits they’ve made on my account. Easy enough to do, right? Just hop on the bank’s web site and look them up. Sorry folks, its not that easy. I have to have my atm card number in order to sign up for my online banking. I haven’t received the atm card. So I have to remember to do all that next week after I get the atm card. I have to change my pay pal account, though I’m not sure why. I’m not going to be buying anything on ebay or at my fave sites. Anyways, I try to pay my verizon bill - they don’t have it ready. I just wanted to get them all done in one fell swoop. Apparently I have delusions of grandeur. I probably won’t be able to keep to my payment schedule which will extend the amount of time and money I have to pay on the second credit card. I will pay one of the two off this year.

Okay, so there’s your update. I’m exhausted so I’m off to bed.

No, silly, not for me. But this is the weekend of engagements. My sister is now engaged to her longtime boyfriend (ha! He’s her fiance now!) and Ellen and Justin became engaged at church Saturday night (and I was going to go, too. Darn it!) I guess I’ll have to wait to see both of the rings (maybe I’ll sneak over to small group on Tuesday night!) So happiness and joy to all the affianced!
