Longest short week of my life

Work has been hell. I seriously have been going in early and leaving late. I guess it's the growing pains of moving warehouses and not having half your inventory in the same place. I think it's going to be that way for the next couple months. At least until after Christmas. The Christmas season rush is starting on Friday. It feels like it started Monday. I barely got through all of the order holds that were placed on Monday, today. Our UPS count usually drops during the week after Monday. It went up. Monday we had just over 1o0. Tuesday we had 155 and today we had 177. Most of the items were shipped through my shipping line. I. Am. So. Tired.

I slept in till the last possible moment this morning; pulled some jeans and socks on and left. I'm wearing the same shirt I did yesterday and the thing is, I really don't care right now. I want to sleep. But at the same time I don't want to get some much sleep that I feel gross or wake up at an ungodly hour.

Monday I went to go hang out with Jake. We were supposed to go to FHE after having our little chat, but by the time we noticed what time it was, we were an hour late. I don't claim to have known him all too well in the beginning, but now, I know why he isn't dating or why he's not too quick to wanting to start a family...at least a little bit. In short: he has had a really rough life. Lots of tough shiz to live though. We understand each other on a whole different level that other people, if we explained what we've gone through, wouldn't understand at all. It's weird. The people we hang out with, we go to their houses and they have pictures up with them and their parents and siblings all smiles.

Anyway, enough about that. All I know is that I definitely don't like Jake like that anymore. I do like him. He's a great friend and he understands what's gone in my life better than anyone other than my family. But it's totally jaded him. He likes girls, he talks about going out on dates with girls in the ward but never does anything about it.

*sigh* Life is certainly interesting right now....

I.Am.So.Tired!!

Wow, Joyce, I didn't know about the two guys, I think you told me about Jake. So... how are things going with Blake? He sounds nice or is he out of the picture now? Can't wait to see you!

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

Book Report

So, remember when I told you guys that I was going to start reading autobiographies and biographies and the like? Well, I FINALLY finished this book. I had to renew it because I made the mistake of getting two Harlan Coben books and well, he's one of my most favorite mystery/suspense author's EVER. The Harlan Coben books were of course read in less than a week. I don't know how I did my homework. Good thing a lot of it is online and not due for a while...but still. I need to stop this habit of reading books when I should be doing my homework. Anyhow, The Road to Woodstock was a pretty good read. Lots of history. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog is really into Jimmy Hendrix or anyone from that era, but it was really cool to get an insiders perspective on what went on. The organizing of Woodstock was a pretty big undertaking but in the end, the organizers just let everyone in regardless of if they had purchased a ticket or not. Did you know that? The organizers of...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
