storms and sicknesses
Last night when I got home, I left my umbrella propped open outside to dry out, with no idea of the impending storm the wee hours would bring. This morning when I left for work it had been flung halfway across the yard and the handle was missing. Not just broken or detached, but GONE. I couldn't find it anywhere!
It has been windy and cold all week. There is more snow on the mountains than there has been since probably early December. I am glad that by Saturday I will be in Mexico. This will be the first time Jeff and I have really spent any time apart since we moved in together; it will be strange. But we are taking a mini-trip (Saturday - Monday) to Vegas in June, so that will be great since he has never been before.
I have also been sick all week, hacking and sniffling and moving on autopilot at work because I can't afford to stay home. I seem to be getting better... although my voice sounds awful, I actually have energy again. I was beginning to worry that I wouldn't be able to drink margaritas at sketchy bars with my sister.
The LEGENDARY SHOE SALE is coming up at work as soon as I get home, so pretty much everyone will be working overtime for at least the first week. The only thing that will get me through it is a) the sweet sweet paycheque that will come afterwards and b) the fact that my boss told me I will not have to go anywhere near the floor where chicks will be scratching each other's eyes out over a pair of Steve Maddens. Oh and also at the end of April I will have been there a year, so that means a raise... I have no idea how much, but if I expect something miniscule I may be pleasantly surprised to find that it is more. Aim low and you'll never experience disappointment! I can't even bring myself to be excited about the shoes, because I am just not willing to fight to get a good pair. I would rather just pay a little more for peace of mind while I shop.
Lately I have been using my notebook more, making lists. It's good, it helps me feel a bit more organised and focused. I started a list of all the books I have read this year, I only wish I would have done this every year since I knew how to read.
