I am only as strong as the coffee I drink
Finally over on DW now - yay for DW's import feature - and trying to get back into the swing of journaling. I still hate how long it takes my brain to laboriously lay down one word after the other to make a sentence, but it's never going to get better if I don't make the effort.
Two very happy-making things today:
For the past few years I've been staying at my current job mostly because it's here and doesn't suck, while occasionally looking for new work in my usual lazy and haphazard way. Then yesterday, a co-worker gave our boss one week's notice - and as of today, I'm getting a title bump, a nice-sized raise, and new responsibilities, some of which aren't much different than I'm doing now, and so will be comfortably familiar, and some of which are just the right amount of new learning experience. So, yay, lethargy pays off in the end! (Probably not the lesson I should be learning from this experience, but what the hell.)
Spotted on the 930 Club mailing list, Lucero is coming to 930 in October - and tickets are only $15. *glees* So excited. Don't know who I can find to come with me (who will want to be down in the first couple rows on the floor), but I am bloody well going, even if I end up on my own.
I miss going out -- most of my friends are old married couples now (or very nearly so), and I've been spending way too many lovely summer evenings (and weekend afternoons) at home in front of the TV. So, my resolution for the summer is to find more things to do -- it's not like there's any shortage of music or new exhibits or Things To Do in this town -- and get my ass out of the house. I needn't be sedate-homebody-by-proxy.
Now for 10 days of house-sitting kittens!
