It's only Tuesday but work has already dragged on for the week. Ugh. But, I am going to try to refrain from complaining too much because it does not really solve any problems. Right now, I am at home with the cat kneading by my side. I should be outside enjoying my new flowers! Flowers on my patio make me so happy. We finally were able to get ( Read more... )

It has been a relatively productive day at work this morning and afternoon. We have a another big meeting regarding the new housing project at 3:30 pm and hopefully, if it goes well, things will be back on track for Fall '09 opening. I hope it goes smoothly! Other than that, I have just been working on my to do list and steadily crossing things ( Read more... )

Last week was kind of a crappy week as mentioned before. This weekend was nice, nothing super exciting but a break from work. This morning I had my standing meeting with the residence coordinators about things were going with the staff, residents, etc. Again, nothing noteworthy. I was just sitting there, listening to the various stories about ( Read more... )

Last night, I went out to dinner with Matt (my old boss/close friend from UTA). We have not seen each other for quite awhile and it was so nice to catch up. I came home after dinner and Starbucks in a content, happy state. We did not have any sort of earth-shaking discussion, much more just chatting, but it was great. I had a really nice time ( Read more... )

I am in a chipper and refreshed mood today, and I think that is because I got so much sleep last night. I am sure that I was asleep last night by 10:15 pm. Lame, I know. John and I were watching TV in the bedroom but anytime I am laying down under the covers, the only thing I can do is fall asleep. So that is what I did. And, it was blissful ( Read more... )

These are the things that are putting me in a relatively constant state of good mood this week ( Read more... )

Alcohol awareness week is going. Our first several events have been pretty successful. I am really most looking forward to it being over though. Is that bad? :) I had a minor breakdown/stress-out moment last night. I was supposed to be setting up an event, there was another group in our room, I had no help, I did not have all the supplies that ( Read more... )

It is Friday and I glad about that. I have been a cranky mood this week - students have continued to work my nerves, break was too short, lots of things to do, etc. - but today (as well as yesterday afternoon) has been better. I think it started going better when I met John for lunch yesterday. We decided to eat together at home, and he brought ( Read more... )

Puppy class was again unsuccessful...it started out smoothly (walking around the store and liking it) but then he did the same thing he did last Wednesday where he basically shut down. He would not eat any treats, kind of hid behind John's legs and was only focused on leaving class as soon as possible. It was very discouraging. However, we came ( Read more... )

Despite being Spring Break, I have actually worked a lot today and tried to get various things done. The one thing I actually want to work on - re-doing the bulletin board outside our office - unfortunately can not be worked on now. That is kind of bumming me out. Doing crafty things has a way of putting me in a better mood...and I would like to ( Read more... )
