I have been sort of busy. I'm loving my new job as I don't have lesson plans and don't have to grade papers (yay!) so when I am home, I have a lot of time to do whatever it is I want to do. What I don't like about my new job? The hours. I'm working 10-6 and I'm accustomed to working 8-3 so there is a big difference in my evenings. I get home around 7, I don't feel like cooking because it feels super late to me, I've been eating take out. (I know, I know) I play with Sam for a bit, then I'm sleepy. I have to get used to these hours.
So, both of those guys, the shiftless one and the "new" guy are out. The shiftless guy because, well, he's shiftless and the new guy just because something doesn't seem right. I can't quite put my finger on it but, my gut tells me something is wrong so I told him I think we are very different and we should just remain friends, nothing else. Since we weren't friends to begin with, I doubt we will become friends.
This week, I was crazy busy, I had two meetings for work but Friday was sooooo slow I sneaked out and was home before 6, (for shame). I am in the process of putting together my new kitchen. I am not sure for certain what the end result will be but, I'm going to buy a few things at a time and I guess create a mish mash of favorites. So far, I've bought a steel bread box and canister set from the '40s that I really like. I hae my eye on a 50's mixmaster blender, and I'm debating whether I should get a 50's toaster oven or a 40's toaster, I may just get both. In addition to this stuff, it is time for me to get a new bed, coffee tale, and computer table, the stuff I have now are things I've had since college and it just isn't cutting it anymore. Old me and new me don't like the same things plus, old me was a lot poorer than I am now so many of my old items are just plain cheap.
For the past few days, my feet were swollen. It was so weird because this is something I've never experienced before. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I sit a lot now versus when I walked around all day when I was teaching. I get up, walk around but, most of my work requires that I sit at a computer so, it is a bit difficult for me to walk around and get things done. I had to wear some horrible old lady shoes I just happened to have in my closet (for days when I would take my classes on trips) because my regular shoes weren't fitting or hurt too much to wear.
Today, I have a busy day ahead of me again. So far, I've watched a movie while giving myself a MUCH needed pedicure, washed two loads of clothes, had a scrummy but fat laden breakfast. Took Sam for a walk and I still have to clean my house, clean my bathrooms, and I want to get started on a dress that I've put off for the past few weeks. In addition to all of this stuff, I'm REALLY REALLY sleepy. So, I'm off to do those things.
