It's the early morning hours...
...of another day off. Thursday. A nearly useless day to have a day off, truly. I continue to be badly underpaid at my job as the wine shop manager at my local Cost Plus World market, to the point of planning to spend tomorrow (today!) reading and doing dishes...maybe taking a nap. These are all lovely things to do by choice, but less wonderful when taken as what one can do when one can not afford anything else. Maybe I'll fiddle around in the kitchen and make something with these tuna steaks I have in the freezer, dunno.
Either way, I have to remember to ice my wrists and shoulders later... old injuries have been acting up as I carry and move dozens of cases of wine every day (sometimes as many as 3-400 on a big delivery day), all by myself. The job has maintained (and increased) it's annoyance and difficulty levels...so I'm back to looking for a new job.Easier when one is employed already, certainly, but hell... not looking forward to it.
Am headed back to NY for next weekend, (23rd-26th) to see friends, hang out at the faire, and generally be silly in good company. Miya will have just returned from 3-4 days in Michigan with Colin's family...it's going to be pretty odd being truly alone in MD for the first time since I moved here last October. Not sure how I'll handle it...work will keep me busy, though, I guess.
Work is hard, finances are tight, being far from friends is difficult... and my relationship is trickier than ever before. I'm really trying to approach every day with a "this is the only day, focus on just this one" mentality, and hoping that helps. Reading more books, trying to find more time to play my bass, and work on my music.
Don't know if I've been making the right decisions, is more of the same the answer, or should I ask a different question? Should I go seeking answers, or stay and try to (hope to?) find them here?
No idea...to sleep, perchance to snore. Adieu, all.
