Sorry dears, I forgot about you yet again. To recap my life since whenever the heck I last posted… I gave up on my peacock idea. While it would have been gorgeous, I never had enough time to myself to actually work on it. I’m keeping it in the back of my mind for next year though, and if I do manage to put it together and pull it off it will be fabulous.
I almost didn’t go out for halloween. But then I decided to get angry at life and throw on a Greek Goddess outfit (my backup of choice is oh-s0-fitting, and deserves a post of its own in explanation) and raise some eyebrows. Or not. It depends on if the wind was blowing at the time.
I also worked like it was my divine calling. And pulled a decent midterm grade out of my ass without even knowing I had a test in the first place. IN MATH. If there is anything I am good at, it does not include working with numbers.
I discovered that I really do not like working more than 40 hours a week. Yes, it was nice to finally be able to get everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) christmas gifts, but I worked myself silly. And then I got sick and spent a day in the hospital. That was not fun. That was almost two weeks ago. I’m still sore as all hell and congested. However, I’m not working as much anymore. This week was only 39 hours! 😉
Please, believe me when I say I’m thankful for my paycheck. But I wholeheartedly believe that it is NOT worth it in the long run. I didn’t go out at all- in between being sick and working, the only thing that I really had time and energy to do was sleep. I should have been a better friend in that time frame, to just about everyone that I know. I’m still trying to repair everything.
This busy streak isn’t going to slow down until mid-January… the semester ends at the end of this week. Then the holidays are going to come in and make everything a living hell crusted in christmas lights and the crumbs of too many overly sweet cocktails and cookies. In other words, don’t expect a thing from me until then. Even though I have some interesting things to share. Oops.
