life - comedy & [s]tragedy[/s] change?
If you missed the Comedy Open Mic Night at The Edge Tuesday, you missed some great stuff. I think the funniest thing I came away with was visualizing people on recumbent bicycles as fending off invisible speculums (speculii?). Gus and his guys and gals did a good job with organizing this event and I plan on going back next Tuesday. I had a Landslide for the first time in like... a decade, no exaggeration. I can't even say if it tasted as good as I remembered, because I can't fucking remember. Well, no expectation to live up to, yes?
For those of you who know that I am a crazy heathen, the new year is coming up. I keep seeing people starting new things and posting about them on LJ. I like a lot of the ideas: getting rid of 100 things around the house you don't use/need/want anymore, 100 things about you, 5 things that made you smile today/this week, etc. I think I am going to start one myself for the new year. I'm going to call it "one day at a time". I'm going to set a goal for that day and the next day I will post my results along with a new goal. If it's a progressing thing I will just post the current progress.
I need more organization and less Chaos in my life. Lately Chaos has been loving on me like something fierce. I'm sorry, but I've had enough... please go bother someone else! I have been having problems with the hypothyroidism and anxiety with some depression mixed in for a couple of months now and it seems to just get worse. My job was not helping. I do not like making the effort to go out to some backwater suburbia wannabe town half an hour away, dressed up more than I care to be, and faking it all the way to do a job and try to please people who treat me poorly and cause a good chunk of my stress. Just because I am a little shorter than the average woman my age and I look youthful and avoid too much socialization does not mean I am to be treated like an incompetent child! Long story short, I do not work for the State of TN anymore (and I cannot post this on Myspace because I am afraid my family might see it and worry, a lot of them think working for the state government is an awesomely great job that you do not throw away under any circumstances) and am unemployed at the moment. I will be looking at work at home jobs and if I don't get one soon I will add looking for part time jobs close to home that are a more suitable environment for me (night shift, minimal interaction with people). I am also going to find a psychiatrist to see so I can get a second opinion on my anxiety problems. If recommended I might temporarily take disability until I find a job I can cope with.
Also my cat is sick and has been a while now. Johnny has those urine crystal things and the antibiotics do not seem to be working. I feel like a failure there.
