I think the novelty of snow has worn off. Last Sunday it snowed hard. The district had about 3-4 inches by 10am. I bundled up and went out with two coworkers. I've never walked around in the falling snow. We went to the National Mall and walked around the monuments. I got to throw snowballs and play in the snow. I stayed pretty warm. I was wearing three layers on the bottom and four on top and I had on my coat, hat, scarf, and gloves. I even got to wear my very warm boots that I bought for the snow and cold weather. I learned quickly that it takes more effort to walk in the snow than it does regularly. We went to the White House and it was very white with all the snow on it. Everything was just so cool with the snow on it. It melted the next day. I was okay with that. I woke up this morning and it was snowing and it's still snowing. I'm not okay with this. I like snow and think it's really pretty to watch falling and to get bundled up and go out and play in it. But it is not cool when you have to wear work clothes and walk to work. It's cold out. I do not like cold. Last week it was in the 40s and the 50s and I thought that was wonderful. I also realize had I been in Louisiana, I would have thought temps in the 40s were freezing. I'm waiting for some 60 degree weather. So maybe the novelty hasn't worn off, maybe I just don't like snow during the week.
Things here are going well. I picked up 5 more projects (Indonesia, the Philippines, the Azores, Puerto Rico, and some Child Development Centers in the states). I think I need to go and visit these sites. How am I supposed to know what they need if I don't know what's going on at these sites? My annual review went well. My boss had some really nice things to say. That surprised me and not because I didn't think I did a good job but because I thought my boss didn't like me.
My friend was supposed to come visit me this weekend but she ended up having to work. So she's going to come out next month for a weekend visit. It'll be good to have a friend in town. I miss that. I miss having all my friends in the same town as me and being able to call them up whenever I want to do something or hang out. I started going to a church here in hopes that I'll meet some people my age. I really don't know where you go to meet people your age. I work with a bunch of old people so its not like I can make friends here. It gets a little depressing at times.
And I've been doing some thinking as well. I'm tired of playing games. I'm not going to play whatever game it is that Daniel is. He's got some decisions to make but it sounds like his mind is made up. I'm not going to stick around for this. I think I made a mistake with Tommy last week. I'm thinking this because I haven't had any replies to my messages this week. He'll be back home on Sunday. Maybe I have time to redeem myself before its too late. At least with Tommy, I know where he stands and why things are moving slow. Ugh. I'm all for arranged marriages.
Tonight, I'm going to go home, change, and hit the gym. It's way too cold to run outside. I'll take my frustration out on the treadmill and hopefully the rest of the week will go well. Haven't decided what I'm going to do this weekend yet. Probably work some on Saturday. Depending on the weather, I'll either go to church on Sunday or stay in all day and reorganize my apartment. I live such a fascinatingly boring life.
