Now the day started - again - way too flipping early.. and thanks to night number 3 in a row of acid reflux, indigestion or whatever.. I didn't oversleep after turning off the alarm.. again.. "by accident". So up, found the bed-side tums, loved Violet on my way to the morning routine and stepped into the shower.... you know you aren't fully awake when you begin to question, what body part you have washed and what you haven't. Who knows everything saw soap at least once, some maybe twice.. so wash, rinse, dry, out, gather clothes, shoes, dogs, turning lights on and off so his royal highness won't have his snoring fest interrupted.... and so me and Violet don't kill ourselves getting down the stairs...
Usual morning routine with the bonus of Miss Violet eating most of her breakfast! Whoo hoo... she's been eating about half, then dinner in stages but she is eating and this staged approach to food is not unusual for her. It makes Shelby crazy and I spent the morning listening to that pup 'talk' to Violet as she stood over her kibble but didn't eat it. Shelby would be of the gobble-and-go school of kibble eating.
So up dressed, Violet AM drugs, Shelby a shot of peanut butter, and away I go. Sit at the stop light, get impatient, go around, to get stuck... at the red light in the opposite direction as the light I was waiting for went green... oh goodie. Bonus? my carpooler was behind me and saw the stupidity. Oh yeah.
Drive in was uneventful, got into work, loaded the caffeine and the day has been quiet. I was feeling tired and unhappy and with that Working Women thing last night, successful outgoing, me in the corner... I really don't have the gene to just walk up and introduce myself. I'm more your sarcastic remark and make friends gal... but for some reason these things to me are very intimidating. I better learn to get over this if I want to move up in the world. Not to mention making better use of my days... I need plans - these woman have plans BIG plans. I want to get through the week. well... I have plans - today they involve not having to talk to another person for at least 2 hours. Yeesh, all that glad handing last night - while yes informative - was stressful.
Please don't ask me why! I just feel - weird at these things - Like I'm underachieving. That and I'm not a size 2, but I did take heart that most gals there were not the skinny-minis and there were a few there, who put me to shame... I am going to take a first step and volunteer to QA their new website... after all it's on the resume! And I'm good at it!
With all this I have taken a moment to stop and look at what I want 2012 to be for me, work, medical, life, quality thereof... cripes. Oh and bonus for the short term, while I am contemplating all those big pie in the sky where is my life taking me issues... I have Girl's group on Saturday - and it's supposed to be icy! Home girl so does not ice.. especially for stupid stuff like this - heck I don't do it for work most days.
Up side, leaving early today, hours in all is good, of course I have a list of things to deal with when I get home, but bigger bonus - dinner out tonight, and I'm not going anywhere on Sunday...I'm just not. I think we'll save Sunday for those big thoughts - or maybe Saturday as I am stuck in an endless meeting to where my opinion is worth something barley above snail pee...
And on that note--- HAPPY FRIDAY.
