Downer Day

Today has been kind of a downer. I figured it was coming soon - usually I'll have a string of good days, and then BAM! a bad one. So I should have been expecting it, but that doesn't make it any easier when it does happen. I just hate the feeling that I was so close to something, and then find out that I may not have been all that close at all. That may sound kind of cryptic, but it's about as much detail as I want to give. I hate admitting that this has that much power over me to make me so sad. It's one thing I'm working on, it's just going slow.

Work is going pretty good, on the other hand. Yes, I'm working really long hours and don't take many days off, but I think it'll pay off in the long run. And it's only for a couple months, and I'm really excited about what I'm doing. That's probably what is keeping me from going insane with these crazy hours. I'm learning a lot of new stuff and am excited to teach others about it.

My poor kitty Phoebe has been in heat the last week or so (yes, I know I need to get her fixed, someday). She would walk around the house all day and night with this horrible meow that would keep us awake at night, and she was very affectionate, always wanting to be pet. I felt sorry for her...and even empathized with her a bit! ;) But luckily it's over now, I can finally sleep through the night, at least until she gets lonely again. :-)

I'm going to head to bed early, I didn't get much sleep last night. I hope this post made some sense...if not, just blame it on my lack of sleep. God bless!

Starting to get burned out...

Sorry I haven't been good at updating this. I've just been working mucho hours, so by the time I get home the last thing I feel like doing is sitting in front of a computer. My email has been going unchecked, all my friends blogs have been going unread... I haven't updated my actual website in a while, and the pictures from my snowshoeing trip are still on my camera (I usually have those downloaded and on my site within a day!). These next few days are going to be killer again, but things should calm down after that. So hopefully I'll be on more later.

Since work has been so busy, not much else has been going on in my life. I haven't even been skiing in several weeks, which is one of my favorite hobbies. It did snow here yesterday, and I was going to go sledding but couldn't find a group to go with. That, and the snow was heavy and wet and there wasn't a whole lot of it. So it probably wouldn't have been fun anyway. Next week on one of my days off I'm going with some coworkers snowshoeing again. Maybe I'll also go skiing. One of my female friends at work and I are already planning a Loser Valentine's Day Party, so that's something to look foward to, lol. We had a co-ed one last year, we went out to eat then saw the movie "Hitch." Both of us were hoping this year would be different, but it wasn't meant to be. So we can hang out and still have fun. Plus, Theology on Tap starts the Friday after Valentine's Day so we can at least go socialize and have fun with that.

Ok, I gotta get to work. Take care, my faithful readers! :-)

I'm back

It's been a while since I've written. I just didn't have a whole lot to talk about. Things have been going ok. I was really hoping that my time off from work would refresh me, but it really didn't. I came back to work as upset as I was before, but luckily I'm doing kind of a side rotation away from my normal group so it's a bit better. I see them just a couple times a week and am actually missing them now! So in a way, being back at work has actually refreshed me instead of being away...for several reasons...lol.

Oh, and for the big news...my little sis, the one who got married last August, is pregnant! Her baby is due in July. I had to wait to post it until she told the rest of the family. I also found out that a good friend of mine and his wife are expecting. It's just so weird. I feel like my entire life is just go to work, go to the gym, go home, sleep, and occasionally go out with friends while all these people are having big, exciting lives and stuff. I guess I've just hit a little lull, but it'll pass.

I'm going to go work on my scrapbooks and then go to bed, I have several long days coming up. More later.
