(no subject)
That sound you hear? It's my soul slowly being sucked away from me, LOL. Well, not to be dramatic, but...
OK, I need to really start trying harder to adjust here, but it's just so hard with the hot weather, my boss, etc. And every weekend I keep thinking I'll have time to relax, and the SO has another list of things we need to do for the house, etc. This weekend it's her sister coming in. Last weekend it was meeting with a gate guy and signing a lease and some other errand. They all blend in!
On FB I have a friend who always posts these positive things like, "only you can affect the negative thoughts in your life" or "today is better than yesterday" etc and frankly, I just need to start thinking more positively, but sometimes, it's just so hard, when you're leaving work late at night, AGAIN, coming home to nothing on TV, and then getting up and doing it all over again. And the reason you were at work, is because your boss wants all of these charts that she's not even going to use, and doesn't like the numbers for, so you're making up data anyway!
Driving is something that it's taking awhile to get used to out here. In Cali, almost everyone speeds. Out here, almost no one does. No one honks, and everyone always signals. They are the most polite people in the world, even if they cut you off on purpose, at least they've signaled. And even if it's late at night, and you're on company property with NO ONE else around, they will all stop at every single stop sign on company property, look both ways, and then continue on. Who does that? In Cali, people would just drive on through everything and just get out! The biggest thing I hate out here is that they have cameras that catch you if you're speeding. I was already caught for going 58 in a 45, by a camera, and it just doesn't seem quite fair! If a human's not there to catch me, it shouldn't count! Arizona is just not a place for impatient people like myself. It's a more laid back, slower moving kind of place, and I think the SO is actually getting to like it! But then, she doesn't get up early, drive to work, work long days, and have all the stress that I do.
The one thing that's funny about being out here is that restaurants that I thought were long gone, actually still exist out here. Loves! Benihana! etc. So maybe in a few years places that I liked out in Cali will make it out here...
I bought the best pillow the other day! It's a Simmons Beautyrest latex pillow, and you fill it up with water (not all of it, just the part you sleep on), and this way you can adjust it so that it's firm or not quite as firm as you want it. And if you sleep on your side like I do, it supports your neck because of the water. And it's not like you hear the water sloshing around, you just feel it. It's really helped my neck and back!
Hope all is well with you guys!
