Camping this weekend was pretty awesome.  I ended up sleeping 12 hours last night!  And I had an hour nap yesterday, and a 2 hour nap today.  So it’s safe to say I’m not feeling super tired.  And my sleep schedule might actually be semi-back-on-track.  Yay!!

This morning we got woken up at 7am by horses (we were camping in a pasture).  I’m not complaining at all!  It was awesome, and definitely started off my day on a good note.

They came right through our campsite.  And some of them were pretty friendly too.

The one I’m petting above got into our trail mix.  And went after our bread, a can of coke, and some chocolates too!  We were able to get those back though.

Saturday we did some yoga.  I’m super impressed with how much Jay’s improved since we first did yoga together.  He’s really into right now, and it’s showing.  On the other hand, I am so far from where I used to be (and not in the right direction!).  Although, if I treat it in a true yogic manner, it should simply be about acceptance (and perhaps a tiny bite of humble-pie).  We shall see though.

Yawn!

It’s currently 1:15am.  I should definitely NOT be up right now.  But tonight I got home from work at 9:15pm, and then I still had to pack for camping, do up a new resume, and re-make my bed.

And when I went to do a quick blog entry, I got side-tracked by something called the Diva Cup.  It looks…interesting.  But I’m still completely unsure.

There is a zit on my cheek that won’t go away.  It’s driving me insane.  And I’m starting to reach the stage where picking at it seems like a good idea.  Argh.

Giving my 2 weeks notice to Pier 1 today went surprisingly well.  My manager pretty much explained to herself why I wanted to leave (she got one of the reasons, but not the biggest one, but I wasn’t planning on telling her anyways!).

Tomorrow I’m going to be super tired.  And when I’m tired, I’m usually pretty grumpy and short-tempered.  A day of working at Pier 1 could be interesting.

As much as I like the beard, I’m beginning to want shaved Jay back.  :-(  But last time we talked, he said he had no desire to go back.

Two Weeks

Well, I reached my limit tonight.  There were a few things that happened at work tonight that to my mind, prove that I’m not really wanted or needed at Pier 1.  So tomorrow morning I am handing in my notice.  There is an end in sight.

Now I must figure out how to go about changing my signature.  I think I will just wait until everything expires or wears off, and then use my new signature.  And any new cards I get will get my new signature.  The best thing is that my driver’s license is the first thing to expire – in 6 months ( a long time…but at least it’s not 5 years).  And I could theoretically put “Please See ID” on all my credit cards once I get that updated.  This is going to work.  :-)  Hopefully I won’t change my signature again until I get married, but then that’s pretty much expected for you to change it then (assuming you change names).

I went on a candy splurge last night.  Haven’t gone on one for ages.  But I still haven’t finished all of it, and I only spent $9.41.  So definite improvement there.  I wanted to share a picture of the giant box of Nerds I found.  I couldn’t resist.  For a size reference, the ring on my purse/bag just above the Nerds box is an inch and a half in diameter.

I got comments.  Yay!  So stoked.

Tomorrow I am packing for camping.  And doing some more laundry.  Today I did a bunch of laundry.  And copied a bunch of cds from the library.  I love feeling a sense of accomplishment.

I’m changing the colours of my blog.  Because as much as I like black, colour is always good.  Although there might be too much white.  We shall see.

Under-appreciated

The title pretty much says it all.  Today was such a bad day (and by today, I’m referring to work, not after work).  I couldn’t seem to do anything right in anyone else’s eyes.  Extremely frustrating.

I’m thinking it might be time to move on.  Even though it was only a week ago or so that I decided to stay.  But nightmares and stress just don’t really seem a good trade-off.  Because they bring a lot of bad stuff with them.  And I don’t need crap in my life.

However, my parents are still super supportive (in their own ways).  And my bro and I are close despite never seeing each other.  Jess is essentially back in my life.  Jill has always been there.  Jason just gets more amazing with every day – and I’m not sure I tell him that.

My Sleep Schedule should be thrown out at this point.  It’s not happening, and probably never will at this point.  I’m just not committed enough.  Or something like that.

Camping this weekend!  Montreal next weekend!  Golden the weekend after!

14 days down…3 days to go.  Way too many days to work without a day off.  I should stop torturing myself in the future.  NO needs to get a higher usage rate in my vocabulary.
