sweet christ
you people all post A LOT!! i mean, i don't check my flist for 2 days and it's like BACK 5 BILLION POSTS for me to catch up! I GIVE! hope everyone's been having a killer weekend/spring break/normal work week. ;) things are of the good in lauren land. i'm still fighting off this nasty cold, but i think the worst is over. i went to the dr's on saturday and got antibiotics so i'm much less phlegmy! yay! i'm sure you all were waiting for the day that the word phlegm appeared in my lj. well that day has COME, fuckers. i love spelling phlegm. it's only got one vowel. that makes me laugh.
AHEM. anyway. things at work are as they've been: static. in other areas though, i'm getting a lot accomplished. a lot of great opportunities have fallen in my lap this week and i'm getting jobs lined up left right and center. ones that actually make USE of my degree even! it's not a career in publishing like i was planning, but that's not out of the question yet either. in fact, i'm having a bit of a reunion dinner tomorrow night with my two favorite professors from school and will definitely be asking them for advice on how to proceed along that avenue. so i've got money coming in, albeit little, and the prospect of even more on the horizon. this is good.
i have been spending LOADS of time @ mark's over the past few weeks. this is partially work related as i'm finally starting up our syck blog this week, but a wonderful side effect of spending so much time there is that i'm kicking ass at guitar hero, baby! in fact, i got myself a copy of the game yesterday and have been ROCKING IT ALL DAY! i brought it with me this morning when i went to babysit R & A. they had a ball. i had a ball too. i wish those kids would never grow up. i've known them since they were 3 & 4 and now they're 9 & 10. CRAZY!! i had the funniest conversations with them today. it's so awesome to have watched them grow up though. they're such cool little people. and they have promised me that they won't turn into jerks when they hit puberty. HAHAH! love 'em!
on a personal note (as if this whole journal wasn't just one long personal note), i've been in a really fucking good place emotionally these past few weeks. i feel in control and very comfortable with myself. i had a bit of a funk over the weekend, but i'm blaming that mostly on the being sick. besides, i rebounded from it quickly. this is the longest stretch of stability i can remember. this was the first winter that i didn't get abysmally depressed during. that's a goddamn accomplishment right there. so yay. things are moving along rather nicely. slowly, but nicely.
that's good enough for the moment.
off to rock some tasty licks!
