Quick update on life:
-The furnace is broken! It'll come in on Monday or Tuesday and until then we have two space heaters going upstairs. My room in the basement was about 58 degrees last night and I slept in there so that Emmy, my mum, and Jacob could take the couches. It reminded me of the time I was homeless and for some reason that wasn't all that bad. I slept well.
-Thanks to 10mg of adderall a day for the last few weeks I am almost caught up on my crocheting projects. I had a whole lot of half finished or just started stuff laying around. Today I'm working on a black tam!
-At work they have told me that I am one of about a half dozen folks they consider to be their best workers. Everyone's hours got cut but for me they just dropped two small shifts and left it at that. Apparently I'm versatile and great at whatever I do? Awesome.
-I went down to Indianapolis with Adam from Thursday morning through Saturday morning. I would definitely have to learn to drive to live there. Also, I'd be paying a lot for childcare and rent. Before moving I will have to have at least two month's of basic living expenses saved, if not three. I'm not sure if I can be added to his lease either, so I may have to wait until his lease is up.
-I want to elope. I really, really do. I'll be staying with Adam down in Indy from the 28th through...sometime. Probably a week. I want it to be our honeymoon. I want to get a license, snag Sara and Geoff, and go get married before we go. Later on I'd like to have a big reception and party thing for our family so they would get the chance to celebrate but... I want to get married out in the snow with boots on and snowflakes in my eyelashes and his cold hand in mine. It's the perfect weather for it and a great time but... He won't because he doesn't want to upset his side of the family.... Bummer, to say the least. I'm not sure how I feel about this completely.
-I'm going to ask my boss at work today what the company's feelings are on dreads. I am tired of my hair today and fuckit, I'll be gone for a week anyway. If it won't get me fired I want to backcomb everything but my bangs and try it out for a week or two. I've wanted to do a full set for ages but have just had single little dreads I've hidden away. I'm not happy with my hair lately and I cut an inch and a half off the other day out of sheer frustration. Also, I had split ends.
-Oh, and I've been writing a lot lately. Short little stories that probably aren't all that good but.. I like them. Maybe I'll post one soon. I've hardly been online lately at all. I don't mind. I feel very satisfied with life, barring a few difficulties.
Last night I took the fellow to see The Day the Earth Stood Still and we snuck some rum in. It was delicious and divine. Afterwards we parked near the lakeshore and snuggled and talked like we hadn't in ages. He told me about a treehouse his friend's father built and how he helped, about middle school bullies, and all sorts of stories of silly things his friends and he did in school. He told me about his ex that really hurt him and finally opened up more about that.
I feel content. I really do. My feet are really chilly and I'm watching the kids today while I'm not working (before 2pm and after 5pm, I've got a short 3 hour shift at work today). I've really been into wearing skirts lately. Comfy ones that hit an inch or two below my knee. I haven't worn them in ages but I also haven't fit into them comfortably in ages. I'm now sort of a chunky size 12. Pretty nice difference from this time last year when I was an 18. I'm so glad I'm getting rid of all that babychub.
Now the interactive portion of this post! Tell me anything. A secret, a story, a snippet about your day, a rant about something pissing you off. Tell me something about you. Anonymous or not, just be honest.
