What is in the air lately? It seems many people, myself included, have been struck down with the "I Suck!" head crazies. Granted, our house is a little more tense than usual due to us all quitting smoking but it seems to be other friends and family too who just don’t seem to be able to get out of the negativity rut.
For whatever reason, I am feeling hideously ugly, extremely boring and utterly unsuccessful - all of these things have adverbs attached due to me feeling dreadfully melodramatic as well. I think the worst thing about it is that this just isn’t me; I’m not one to get so… well… emo. God how I hate that term but it really is the best way to describe unsubstantiated gloominess.
And why does the text box on any LJ entry I type keep getting bigger every time it auto saves?!
This week I am going to do something new every day to see if I can make all the shite buzzing around my head take a back seat for a while. Tomorrow Angie and I are going to grab take away coffees from the café down the road and walk to the little bay she’s found just near us. Then Wednesday I’m going to go to the Egyptian exhibit currently on at the Museum because I’m a sad fan-girl of all that is Ancient Egypt and then off across the road to the Art Gallery. Not sure what Thursday will hold but we shall see.
As you can tell by my itinerary, I am no longer doing six-day weeks at work. I am now doing four days on/four days off which is both a blessing and a curse. Good because I am well and truly over that place and need time away but bad because it means less savings. Perhaps it’s not working as much and therefore having time to think about my life that has made me introverted and grumpy?
On a more pleasant topic, I have finally purchased a corset! It shall hopefully arrive this week and be ready to wear out sometime in the near future when I have found a skirt to match. It’s a dark blue satin, Asian-inspired piece with proper boning and a lace-up back, mmmm…:D
I will be attempting to be more social than I have been of late so shall be in contact with the relevant parties I haven’t seen enough of in the coming weeks… well that’s my plan but whether I go through with it or not is another story altogether…
