The End of the Month

I'm glad this month is almost over - it's been a long one.

I'm getting torn about what to do regarding football next season. I do enjoy the games. And I love the tailgating. But I'm so sick of the drama that it's making me not want to go all the time anymore. And that's just to avoid the drama. Part of me hopes that the two groups do split - then I won't have the drama. And part of me just wants to go up to E & K and ask them if they've worked things out between them or are they still hanging on to each other just because. And I know the answer - they haven't resolved anything. But yet they still choose not to talk to me because I said the truth. And Football Boy - he's even worse. He wasn't involved in this - it had nothing to do with him. But he chooses to be childish about this and hasn't said more than "hi" to me in 4 months. What's that about.

So apparently they're all getting together this weekend down at Tech. I can't come down. I feel like I was invited as an afterthought. And you know what - it's okay. I really don't want to go down there. I want to be at home and take care of things here. And honestly, I still need some time away from that crap before it starts up again. I do miss seeing D&G and F&J, but I'll see them soon.

I guess I'm growing up.

Update

Well, I was able to get everything done on Sunday that I said I would do. Now I need to get myself to the gym! Ugh.

Scrambling on Sunday

I haven't been able to write in quite some time. My internet service was down for a few days, and my wireless even longer. And I've just had no energy to deal with it. But now that it's working, I need to get my butt in gear and start focusing again.

Last weekend we had the Winchester Retreat, and while I was there, I decided I needed some major cleanng to happen at my house. So I drafted out a list for my inventory room, which I was hoping to have done by this weekend. It's almost done. I took everything out of boxes, shelves, drawers, etc. and cleaned and threw out a lot of stuff. I mean a lot! I have so much stuff, and it feels good to get rid of it. But the rest of my house is completely trashed. At this rate, it'll take years to get it all organized. And on top of that, I want to redo my kitchen. So I'm off to Home Depot in a few minutes to look around there and see what kind of things they have that I can work with. I'd like to get more cabinets and a new counter, with more space. So that's the next big project.

But for today:
* Movies and lunch with B
* Bring desk in
* Clean off deak and take apart
* Set up new desk
* Bills
* Laundry

Lots of stuff for today - let's see how much I can get done.

Seven Random Facts about me…
1. I love to read. I read almost anything, and many times would rather read than do anything else. I have so many favorite authors and I tried to read all of their books.

2. I don't sleep well. I tend to stay up late, then sleep for a few hours before waking up again. It's annoying at times, but ...

3. I love the beach, even though I don't get there that often. But it's such a relaxing place to be.

4. I love to drive. I'd rather drive than be a passenger in the car.

5. I love listening to live music. Especially Bruce Springsteen. But even local musicians. It's just so energizing.

6. I am a TV junkie! My TV is on 24/7 if I'm in the house. I hate it when its quiet.

7. I love to travel but don't do it enough. That has to change!

It's January

I haven't felt like writing anything lately. I've been in a funk of a mood - just no energy and no motivation to really do anything. I've got the retreat this weekend, and I haven't even finished getting ready for that. So much to do. I need to get to bed since I haven't been sleeping well.

Hopefully the retreat will be what I need to shift this mood.
