OMG Shoes!

Yea so I went to the eye doctors today after work - all is good, cyst is smaller, keep putting goop in eye oh and before you paid $150 for your contacts last month they should have told you that you needed a follow up appointment before you ordered again. ARG!!!!!!!!!!!

But a lovely thing did happen as I left (grumbling under my breath) there was a shoe sale at not one but THREE stores in the plaza nearby....OMG SHOES! I found the most awesome pair of Madden Girl shoes...I love love love them!

Toast to a new budget

Urg still sick but with antibiotics now, I should be fine before I fly on Friday.

Today was payday and the start of a different way of budgeting, lets see if this one works out. Money has a way of slipping through my fingers and really there is no good reason for that. I'm determined to get a handle on this!

But as I am still sick, I'm going to take my evening meds and head off to bed...I'm so exhausted.

Sick!

Well this sucks. I am sick, I think its just a head cold but I am currently so stuffy I'm exhausted from breathing. I'm heading off to take some NyQuil and nap. If tomorrow I'm not better, I'm hitting up the doc's, I do not want to fly with a head cold - ICK.

Plus side - Friday I dyed my hair Violet Red - its awesome I love love love it !


Alright me, my Kleenex and Vick's vapor rub are all heading off to sleepy land. more chats later.

Work makes me want to drink

Do you ever just have one of those days that lasts and lasts?? Mine has been going for hmmm about 5 months now. I am trying (everyday) to have a good day at work, stay focused, be productive, ignore all the high school fluff attitudes and have fun at work like I used to. Well I guess I'm going about it all wrong, I got spoken to today about "socializing too much". Ummm excuse me!??!?! I spent the entire day going back and forth between co-workers cubicles to get a.) input/thoughts on a proposed change, b.) gather information that they possessed and I needed, c.) reminding/getting them to do the items I needed them to do (so I could do my job) and d.) collaborating with them (co-workers) on projects in progress and daily duties. Not once during my day was I just standing around chit chatting aimlessly about life. Mind you I have been putting in an average of 2 hours of overtime (UNPAID) everyday for the past 6 weeks just to try and keep things caught up, we are currently short staffed due to a "termination" so I know I'm stressed and what not but arg!!!

This "talking to" irritates the bejeezes out me because there is another co-worker who spends hours a day on the phone with friends and family - and I get talked to because instead of emailing the person on the other side of the wall I chose to get up and talk to them!! Get real, I'm so ready to leave....I never thought that after 10 years of working there I would be tempted so many times to just walk out the door and never return.

Starting Monday (I'm at a training all day tomorrow) I am just going to start walking away from things - I'm not going to stay late (unless I REALLY have to), I'm not going to worry about things getting down, I'm just going to come in do what I need to do and go home. I'm done putting so much energy into something that is just sucking the lifeblood out of me. I ordered an external drive so that I can begin to move anything that I've put on my work computer that would be distracting to a work environment (any music files, pictures etc) and I'm starting to ween myself away from that place - after all these years I no longer love my job like I used to - it saddens me greatly.

Lazy Weekend

Hrmph its already Sunday and I've practically done nothing but read. I stopped by the library to return a couple of late books Friday and ended up picking up some more to read....I finished them last night. So yea nothing got done around the house yet...I still need to do laundry, dishes, vacuum etc etc...and what am I doing...being lazy on the computer browsing the web. Man I need to get my act together, I need to get myself motivated in life again...

Plus side I did sell a couple more books on Half.com...I've got them packaged so I'm forcing myself to get out of my lazy bum clothes take a shower and hit up the USPS to drop them off for shipping Monday. Thought is since I'll be out I can hit up the store to return the remaining bottles I found in the garage, pick up stuff to send to the Hubby for a morale boost (and a couple of things for a friend of his that is going through a tough time), get the packing tape & white out I've been saying I'm going to pick up for the past 6 days.

Oh and I talked myself out of a late night Taco Schmell run last night - woot!

Time flies

Seems like time is just flying , its already August for Pete's sake!
Which means I am not doing as well as I had hoped on the budget or weight loss frontiers. I'm getting ready to run up to the grocery store tonight to return some pop bottles and pick up the basics (milk, bread, lunch meat) - I'm going to do my darnedest to stick to my list. Plus I sold a book on half.com , I need to get to the post office to ship off a gift, a sold book and a card to my best friend in Denmark :-)

Wish me luck that I don't get caught in a thunderstorm at the store!
