wooooooooo
I need two days to defuzz, to decompress, to do nothing for such a long period of time that I'm dying to have something to do by the time it's over. At this rate, I'm hoping mayyyybe those few days between Christmas and New Year's will be that chance. I don't think it's happening before then, though. Damn.
A quick overview:
- The BBQ was pretty fun. It was smaller than I was hoping it would be, but the house was clean and the food was good and someone kept making me things that are tasty and alcoholic, so I liked it just fine. Also, it was really nice to hang out with school people and home people and work people and enjoy myself without worrying about mingling issues.
- The following day my mom and KJ went up to Syracuse to help him move into his apt. Brian and I had a glorious partly-cloudy day in my clean house to do whatever the hell we pleased. I pictured lounging by the pool, reading or skinny dipping, and frolicking about. Instead, we slept. A lot. Prettymuch the entire day. And then we ate pizza. Looking back, I can think of few things that would have been better.
- I love Brian a lot. It was so nice to spend several days in a row with him, something we haven't done in a long time. Also, I heart cuddling. Also, when he tells me he loves me and he extra means it you can hear it in his voice and it makes me all swoon-y.
- I am terrified that my paperwork won't go through in time or that something went wrong with my MCert program and they won't pay me and I'll be broke forever or won't get a contract or something. I would be able to resolve this if I had A) a computer, and/or B) continuous access to a phone in a quiet place on a consistant basis during business hours. Unfortunately, no such luck, so something that should take two days takes two weeks. On a similar note, this time next week I'll once again be referred to via my last name instead of my first. Long Island summer, where did you go?!
- I want my apartment to be beautiful. The only thing between me and said beautiful apartment is time and money, two commodities I can't say I have an abundance of at the moment. Oh poop.
- My cousin lost 50 pounds by doing some crazy protein shake diet where you're monitored by a doctor and stuff. I am considering this as an option. It would cost money, but maybe not too much, because (once my paperwork finally gets settled) I will have health insurance. Hmm.
- I find that as time continues I more frequently say "After ________ is over, I'll be able to relax/start my diet/finish the projects I desperately need to get done." And then when that time comes, there's too much else to do. Will I ever get the few days of downtime I need to make myself sane? I think probably not, actually. Bummer.
Lurve.
