I am still here, I promise, just working. I believe (as of the last count and look at the calender) that I will have worked all but 3 days in the month of november, and 1 of those I spent at the courthouse dealing with that pesky speeding ticket from April...
1 day was thanksgiving - see below for details.
and 1 day I believe I spent sleeping all day b/c I worked an overnight the night preceding it.
Self induced here so I am not asking for pity (Although gifts will be accepted, especially coffee and chocolate, and homemade caramels), I am quite happy actually.
Besides realizing on the way home today (from the second job of the day) that I
1. never did grab dinner and
2. have really been soo busy I haven't even grabbed coffee many times I have planned on it... and thats saying something...
I am enjoying every minute of working soo much, well minus the seeing Kristopher as much... but there is time for that in there.
Work is good, the new job has a big learning curve, which I love the challenge of, including being thrown tasks on black friday by the manager, thinking, "WTF do you think I know that makes you think I know what to do with this customer". : )
It also has brought me a new sense of calm, relaxed, self at the old/on call job, just as with anything you are no longer required to be at, or fully rely on for something, it makes it easier to make that money, be there, and hold the line when you are suppose to, got me? good... moving on....
Thanksgiving was a bit strange, bf's parentals did not end up coming, and doubled with the weather he was in an Eyore mood, but I carried on and focused on some thanksgiving food being carried out... pumpkin and apple pie, green bean casserole, and homemade rolls happened (sounds quicker and easier said then done, btw)... and he grilled up brisket and did mushroom meatloaf (which seems much more like stuffing then you'd ever think).. just the two of us... excuse me three... ruby was drooling the whole day... just like last year, but not really... ehhh I cooked all day, we had dinner... end of that story.
Black Friday, I choose to sleep... and really, there was nothing I missed, I even looked at adds 4 times over and on the phone with my mother... still... bed ruled... and reminded me that our anniversary was the following day (date wise its the 26th, memorable event wise, it happened to be black friday last year) sweet, simple, and reminded me oh how absolutely greatful and blessed I am and have been this past year for soooo sooo much. ...Friends, family, bf, ruby, One good job allowing me to move to a city that makes me smile on the inside even when i'm not on the outside, another job when I needed something better, new friends, old friends becoming better friends, and memories to cherish a lifetime....
Moving past this ever greatfulness I have maintained focus on working hard to be able to not stress or freak out about taking a week off at christmas, and being able to relax and enjoy that trip, I have continued to ignore my coworkers raving about sales (especially shoes and clothes)....
Today was Cyber Monday however... Tulle.... really??? ...70% off.... you got me... so I folded, but everything should work for work, and I spent a whole $60 and ended with 2 skirts, 2 sweater and a shirt... I think I deserve that for working 28 days this month, and many 10+ hour days (I have already clocked 26 hours this week between the 2 jobs.... sick??, possibly. but I am also that girl that can't just run a 5k, I've got to do a marathon, 'member?)
Which also makes me think that this post is full of complete tangents... sorry... refer to last statement... = brain is fried and its time for bed.... good night!
