I am sort of on vacation. Of course I'm so wired up it just feels like one never-ending day off. Shannon and I were talking about this last night. We as a society are all adrenaline junkies. Our bodies are literally addicted to the adrenaline that flows through our veins as a result of you average day to day bullshit. Of course, it doesn't help that I got promoted and then sent on vacation after I'd thought I would have to cancel vacation and I spent my vaca money on a deposit for a new apartment.
I'm finally doing it. Making more than decent money. Better than average for a female aged 24-34 some college caucasian. Not that I'm bragging. It's just that whenever I imagined my life as a kid-or even in high school-I imagined myself as independent and not money conscious. i.e. I make enough of it not to think about it. That's all I ever aim for-living within my means. It just seems so out of reach all the time and I can see how those lottery winners go broke in 5 years.
I can't stop listening to Regina Spektor. She is just fabulous.
It's been a very very long time and I'm writing a letter to Andreas. I'm not even sure I got a Christmas card from him last year. This year I PROMISE to send out cards to everyone.
I also plan to get back into some drumming...drum circles.
I'm going to call Adam and go to bed. Noog.
