Wow, where has the week gone?! Tuesday we got our first snowstorm of the year, and Wednesday I got to get up at 3:30 in the morning to drive my best friend and her partner to the airport. It took us half an hour but I got them there alive! The roads were like skating rinks. It was incredibly lucky that I'd booked the day off work so I didn't have to go out again when there were actually people out driving around. And as luck would have it I had an oil change booked for Friday so I got them to put my winter tires on instead of just rotating the all-seasons. Oh winter. Sigh.
I'd be lying if I said I've been practicing the guitar lots. I had my usual Wednesday session with one of my friends and I haven't touched it since. Too much to do!! Our shipper was gone Tuesday to Thursday to a funeral out of town. Which meant I basically got thrust into his position with no training and against my boss's wishes. I learned a few things about myself... I think someday I could handle a management position, but not now. I don't feel ready for the responsibility yet... and I like being able to leave work at work and have my life to myself. But overall I think things went well under my control, and I'm sure all the right people were paying attention and watching me closely. I tried to bite my lip and not complain too much, which was incredibly hard but at the same time I was so insanely busy I didn't have time to complain lol.
Friday I went to a Halloween party. I dressed up as a gnome and I have to admit it's become one of my favorite costumes. Sadly I'd volunteered to go open the doors at work for some people on Saturday morning so I had to behave myself Friday night. Which really was a shame because all my friends were out and the drinks were cheap! Next year I'll know better...
I saw Sweater Vest girl last week. It was the first time I'd seen or really talked to her in... wow, six months. Once again I felt my heart plummet to my feet. It was one of those things where I really thought she was genuinely interested and I got taken aback when all of a sudden she did a 180. She's seeing someone now, which I already knew. I know I'm in the place where I'm supposed to be, and I've been feeling better and better about myself lately. It's just hard for me to see reminders of rejection. My way of dealing with it is to just walk away... and it works for the most part, but I don't know if it makes me deal with it entirely. And maybe it isn't the best option for me in the long run. Hmm.
I'm sorry to say I don't have anything exciting to share. I've been worrying a lot about my mom and what's going to happen to her when she gets older and needs to go into assisted living. She doesn't have a cent put away for the future. But I need to pull myself back and live in the moment. I've also been trying to get control of my own finances... we're being switched from being paid twice a month to being paid every two weeks. Which, at first, you might think is a good thing, but for me it's chaos. I've only ever been paid twice a month so all my payments are set up around that. Sure, I could switch them... but that's too much work for me lol. And I'm going to be bringing home less money per cheque than before because there are an extra two pay periods per year. It's going to be very interesting... and I see a lot of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" in my near future. Thank God for credit lines and credit cards, or I'd be F*CKED!
Hopefully this week will be less chaotic than last...
