The Rocket has Reached Cruising Speed...

I can't remember the last time I posted. I have been so immensely busy! I haven't had time to talk to my friends much, e-mail the ones I rarely hear from (who are just about as busy), or call anyone. And, for once, the time has not been sopped up by Morrowind.
First, there's work. The contract for the consolidation had been set to be signed today with the S.O. taking over at 0001 tomorrow morning. The meeting was rescheduled to the 13th. So, again, for another week I still have a job... the same job that has been threatening to become null and void since the end of April. After a professional 50 minute massage and 2 Epsom Salt baths, my shoulders still hurt from tension. I really should make the tense muscles oil and use it, but I hadn't been home long enough. I have been working so much overtime, too. 20 hours this paycheck, plus whatever the training Lt. gives me for making the Power Point Presentation for his Stress Relief class. I made the presentation, so I don't have to attend. He was very pleased with the presentation and made me place my name on the last slide of the presentation, making the presentation 57 pages long. How ironic for a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to make a stress management presentation!
One co-worker, my night shift Lt., has to have surgery on his sinuses. Another has to have a tonsillectomy. And another still has just a few days ago had 4 seizures and has a low Potassium level. Stress related??? I think so. All of us are worried sick and at minimum staffing to boot.
My oils are seeming to be my main source of income after I lose this job. Melaleuca is hard to bring up and I hate to seem like a salesman, constantly selling things. I get it from my dad I guess... car salesman.
Nathan is moving into a very nice apartment soon, so we are going around picking out stuff for it. We have acquired 3 pieces of furniture for free and are buying kitchen supplies. The motif is black, white, chrome, and glass with eventually some red as he wishes to incorporate an Asian hue. We are looking for black wrought iron furniture with a preferably glass top. CORT has some, but we would need to paint it. We went to the 24 hour gym yesterday to check out the prices and the facility. It is very nice and the lady is letting us get the family plan since we are engaged and will be living together (eventually). I really like the location... Everything is at our fingertips! Everything within 10 minutes! (Most within 2-3 minutes) I shall be so spoiled! LOL!
Gah... it's bad for me to slow down but I am so stressed that I have to otherwise I will get sick, too. Even here and now I am typing as fast as I can think things out so as I can do something with my time! I would like to get my typing speed up to 175 wpm so as I can keep up with sadistic college professors! Then again I am so accustomed to typing on my laptop that updating on my journal is proving slow in comparrison to on my laptop taking notes in class. I was successfully able to keep up with the parasitology teacher lecturing notes but when there was a work I didn't quite know how to spell... most of which were harder to spell than the common platyhelminthes, (drr... Biology Speak).
Yay! Something to do! OK, I'll be going now to make a partially de-boned shrimp-stuffed chicken.
