Oh the changes
A lot of things have been in the process of changing in my life recently. I would like to state for the record that while some of it is totally exciting and fascinating other parts of it are totally draining.
I met my classmates now wife for the first time last week. She is SO nice. She seemed nice from the emails and such but in real person she is much better. :) I finally unloaded their wedding gifts on them (this was the wedding where I practically broke down in the car on the way to the wedding due to the traffic, unhappy, brakes, and my aunt's status in the hospital and never made it to the wedding). I am very happy for him. I watched him play with his ring in class the other day and I could not help but smile.
Getting rid of the wedding gift got me thinking about how this freed up space in my kitchen cabinet now. Then I thought about how I have to free up space in the kitchen and the living room area (those two areas combined are half of my place) because my new roommate has more stuff than my old roommate that we will be using communally. This sent me into a tailspin of doing nothing but therapy stuff and cleaning for a little over 3 days. I am sad to report that I had not really cleaned my floors thoroughly until that cleaning frenzy. They are now sparking clean, or they were until one roommate moved out and another moved it, so basically they are back to normal again. *l* On the upside I have gotten rid of lots of papers that I definitely did not need to be hording in my room and will be donating a few books to the library. :)
I went to "work" everyday this week. I was only scheduled to be there 2 days but somehow I was there 4 days (there was the holiday in there). I have been working so hard there then I get a message from someone that just makes me pissy. I had to be talked down by mom and my supervisor over this one so it wasn't pretty. Thankfully, I was upset by words said by someone outside of my agency so at least this is not someone who I work with on a regular basis. After being at my therapy trainee site for almost 4 hours today I literally said aloud, after I had hung up the phone for probably the 10th time today, "What I am I doing here? This is my day off. I am leaving" to which my co-worker laughed and told me to get outta there. I have to learn when to leave before I am exhausted. Usually I am better about it, but all of the changes are making that all out of whack for me, I think.
So my roommate moved out on Tuesday. I was sad to see her go, but she gets to live with her close friends now and live closer to her work so I am happy for her. Then my new roommate moved in on Wednesday. There was about 14 hours of time in between there moves. I must say if I could chose their move in and move out times again I would give myself at least a full day in between them. But oh well.
There were boxes in every room but my room. Now there are not any boxes in the kitchen and less boxes in the living room. Progress! ;) *l* My new roommate has made a little pathway for herself in the bedroom and there is her bed but the rest of the floor is covered with piles of boxes. Scary. I might fear they would fall on me in the night. She is much braver than I am. :)
During my roommates moving in and out a gate is being set up at the two driveways into the apartment complex which is so much fun to deal with when they periodically shut off different areas of the driveway right next to my garage. For the record I voted against the gate but it won out anyway.
I had more to say but I totally blanked on it all now. I have a cold. Blame the cold. *l*
