working weather

The weather outside is not very nice. And this makes for long days I find.

The past couple of weeks, I've gotten into the habit of eating my lunch in the park near work. It works great because I get to (1) eat lunch (2) be outside, and (3) refer to (2). The rain and mugginess and fear of downpours have kept me from enjoying this midday treat since last week sometime.

I really like being outside for the little period of my day. I look forward to it, and then I enjoy it so so much, and then I come back into work with the attitude of "alright, I CAN do this!". The outside is kind of like my (magical) new shoes.

I'm a pretty lucky girl.

It's been decided.

This is what I thought...

A quick post to help the last minutes of work willfully pass by quicker.

Some random thoughts on my day:

1.6 Maxum - what is this? The name of my pen. Weird.

My Toast. This wasn't just any toast. It was wonderfully delicious toast, made on fresh super soft bread. But then the stupid toaster popped too much. And one of my pieces of toast fell!! Not just feel on the ground fell, because I totally would have eaten that. No big deal. No. Fell down between the counter and the fridge, ie into the land of dust and crumbs and yuck. There was no way I was eating that. Which was sad. Because one piece of toast is just so unsatisfying.

Blogs. So just because I read a person's blog religiously doesn't mean that I am that person. And so I shouldn't be as happy/excited as I am for said bloggers new baby! (baby's are cute btw).

Also. I have a rant about something that was said to me the other day. It'll come tomorrow.

Now. I shall get ready to leave for another day. And I get to bike home! I'm excited for this, because it is so very nice outside.

magic shoes

All my worries seem to vanished, thanks to my new shoes. I don't know how they did it, or why it seems to be working. But the fact that I have new shoes, is making work much more bearable. I really don't understand it.

Therefore, I take from this, that I should be allowed to buy new shoes ALL the time. Something stressing me out? NEW SHOES. Upset about something? NEW SHOES. Lonely and miss all my friends? NEW SHOES.

J is back in the same provinces as I. Which is GREAT, except I haven't seen much of her yet. That's alright though. Long summer ahead. Full of fun times.

I've starting working again on my quilt. It's starting to look like an actually quilt now. I'm excited to see the final product. Even if it doesn't turn out 100% right, I'll be happy with it as it is my first quilt after all.

Time to figure something out about something.



PS. Work is pretty crazy in the fact that I'm running the show sort of. I've got help from others..but there's no one else technically working out of my office. That's alright though. I'll get done what I can, that's all I can do.

Happy times ahead.

One of my bosses left today. It's sad. I'm going to miss her, a lot. She was there when I first got interviewed. Despite my shyness and awkwardness, she hired me. She's shown me how to do pretty much everything I've needed to know here. She's always been super patient with me. We just gelled well together. It sucks.

But I mean, she's off to bigger and better things. Just sigh.

In other news.

Yesterday/today marks an important date. It's one that I'm really excited for; I feel like I always new this day would get here, and right I was. I like being right.

Right now, when I look back on this year I know I'm thinking "oh man, why did I make that decision?".. and... "is it September yet?...". This past year has been full of many ups and downs. I've said many times how my life shaken off the track I made for myself and it's quite frustrating. But one thing has always remained constant. I hope that in years to come, I'll be able to look back on this year and remember it as the beginning of something great. Delightful even.

Fail.

Yesterday was the 12th. Meaning it was time for 12 of 12. I forgot my camera.

I took some (crappy) pictures on my camera phone. And then once I got home, I tried to take some pictures.

It makes me sad, because that's the whole reason for the blog. I so enjoy 12 of 12.

I kind of failed. I've been doing that a lot lately, failing.


I fail at life. . . . but I'm good at Math.

shhh.

This whole my boss leaving, is a secret. I feel important because I know. But also, I feel like I should tell people, so that it's not a huge surprise.

Of course I won't tell people. But le sigh.
