February/2009
It's been a week since we saw AJ fall from Grace. Nick came up to Ontario to party like a rock star, and Vanessa and I didn't do a road trip. The weather has gone from frigid, to mild in a matter of days, and is about to hit the arctic temperatures again soon. February has snuck up on us, and I am yet reminded that these next 28 days will be the longest 28 days in history.
Probably even longer for AJ.
Erin went to NYC for the weekend; Dan did a lot of gaming on the computer while I used Erin's laptop; and Glen walked the dog. Over and over again. Which is a good thing 'cause it keeps him from eating the furniture. Les, not Glen.
I'm in the throes of the winter blues. They started immediately after Christmas this time which is not normal. I spent the entire month of January grumpy. Thank God for the puppy or I'd have been in bed with the covers pulled over. Being needed is a powerful thing.
Last week three of my Momvet friends (I've written of this wonderful group of women before and I'll probably write of them again), and I went to see a fourth in the play Pride and Prejudice. Too be honest I wasn't looking forward to it as I didn't know the story at all, and it was a two and a half hour long affair. Luckily I was very pleasantly surprised. It was wonderfully done, and very entertaining. I sincerely did not feel the time weighing down on me at all. We went out for drinks afterward, and met up with some of the other actors. It was a very lively group, and again, lots of fun.
My friend Doris and I are going to dinner this week with an old friend. Doris and Victoria used to work me at Umbrella...well I was the Executive Director so they actually worked for me, but that's just semantics. We haven't seen Victoria for a very long time. I'd say at least ten years. We kept in Christmas card contact, but it's just now that we've gotten off our lazy asses to do a face-to-face. I'm looking forward to it, and also dreading it. I hate being in the position of having nothing to say when asked what I've been doing. I feel stupid, and lazy; things that I'm not, but how else do I account for my lack of activity?
I need something to do so badly. Getting the puppy was step one in my returning to the real world. Now it's time for the next step. I just wish I knew what that next step could be. I need a life coach. Someone to help me find my calling. Someone to make me get serious about the next part of my life. Someone to prod my ass off my chair.
So...that's where I am right now.
