1) I’m still here…chugging along. Work was actually not the soul sucking bottomless pit of hopelessness that it typically is. Although I did get entrusted with some REAL responsibility (like seventy-five millions dollars worth) I don’t know if it will ultimately mean anything or be a serious turning point in my career. I’m still not where I want to be, but hopefully this week was a teeny step in the right direction.
2) We are in the throes of moving. Half our crap is there (new place), half our crap is here (old place). Our TV is there now – it has been a long time since I’ve been without TV. Luckily our new TV is coming to the old place tomorrow to tide us over until we move the bed over on Sunday at which point we will technically be LIVING in our home. Gosh, it seems strange to say. We have a home. Which we own. Suddenly I become nervous at the thought of scratched floors or the possibility of holes in the wall when we are moving heavy furniture. Ah the joys of homeownership.
3) My health is the big question mark right now. I had a week of horrible arthritis to the point where I was having a hard time sleeping due to the pain. Then it went away. Now I’m mainly having it in the standard places, feet, knees and hands. Something weird about my nail beds and when I consulted Dr. Google I was told that I could have liver failure…or maybe I’m just malnourished? Not very comforting and actually pointless for me to Google in lieu of actual real blood/urine labwork. I have a doctor appointment two Mondays from now so hopefully nothing catastrophic happens between now and then.
4) I have a bit of a sheepish request to make…I normally don’t like to force people into commenting, but if you are here and you wouldn’t mind commenting just once I’d really appreciate it =) I’ve received about 15 comments but they have all been for various medicines or knock off purses and so had to be thrown in the spam garbage can. It would be nice to know I had one comment that was not spam and could actually be published.
Thanks =)
Hi Joyce, I still view your blog from time to time. Glad to see that you are now a home owner. 🙂
Congratulations on your house Joyce! How exciting! I definitely understand the intense paranoia that comes with every movement in a new home. We close on our townhouse tomorrow and just thinking about moving anything on our brand new floors is keeping me up at nights! We should get together sometime once we both settle in! Happy moving! And I hope you feel better this week.
@Michael – Thanks! I see from your FB posts you are still active politically as always =)
@Parijat – That is awesome!! Congratulations! We definitely should meet up sometime, I can’t believe how grown up we all are now! And congratulations on getting married too!!
Just realized I need to change the comment font color because it’s black!
I knoww seriously. I feel like I had a growth spurt and sometime last year went from being a kid to a supposed adult. Haha.
Quick question, what moving company did you use?
We actually didn’t use a moving company (unless you count my husband lol)…we didn’t really have a lot of big things and our lease overlaps by a month so we’ve been slowly moving things over and borrowed my parents van and uncle’s truck to move our couch and bed and stuff =) Moving is such a pain though! We are definitely hiring movers if we ever do this again…When are you guys scheduled to move in?
Ooh ok gotcha. Ya we have really have sofas and a huge bed so we’re thinking we want to hire someone but we’ve both had bad experiences with moving companies before! Our move in date is also another source of frustration – we have no idea! There’s a little more work to be done and might be done Friday so we can move in on Saturday, or be done Saturday and we have to move in on July 4th. One day we’ll be there though. Haha. How are you settling into your new place?
