little bit
the days are flying by. it's hard to believe that it's february already. this winter has been filled with people coming and going. i feel like my friend circle here keeps shrinking. it makes me sad in a way... a kind of loneliness creeping in. yet, i'm extremely happy that they're off doing what they need to do to be happy, successful, whatever they feel they need to do. the true ones stay close, no matter how far away they are... and those are the ones that matter.
work is the same as always. still working mostly six days a week, with usually a monday or tuesday off. sometimes i hate this job and sometimes it's alright. it kind of depresses me to think that this might possibly be what i do for the rest of my life. i mean, the money is great, but i hate to think that that is all that matters. don't get me wrong, i love being able to buy the things i want. i'm actually considering buying an apartment within the next two years. this feat will seriously be the biggest event of my life if it actually follows through. however, money doesn't buy sustainable happiness. i suppose i want a deeper fulfillment that money can't buy. i just need to figure out what i need to do get it, or what it even is. i keep thinking "if i could go back to school, what would i study?" and i just can't think of anything. maybe i should focus on finding things i can do besides work to make me feel something other than contentment. digital photography isn't it, that's for sure. i need more hands on work. something that requires more anal retentiveness. ugh. must figure this out this year.
leah and i made a resolution to cook at least once a week. we slacked the first month, but today was as good a day as any to start. i made mac n cheese, which came out excellent as always. can't really go wrong with kraft. haha. my mom got leah a subscription to better homes and garden (cute right?) and there's all sorts of healthy recipes in there. i think we'll try them out. i'll make it a point to share the good recipes on lj.
the cats are cute as always. i adore them. just thought i'd share.
oh. and i'm going to also share songs that i've had stuck in my head lately.
