Man, I am just so beat down and utterly wrung out. I need a day of utter nothingness, but I
don't foresee that for a couple of months.
Man, fuck this Debbie-Downer shit. Gonna take Mary's suggestion to heart. So without further ado....
Three Things that I am Thankful for Today:
1. that it is finally
setting in that WE ARE MOVING SOON.
We've really started taking things down off the walls and patching
various nail/screw holes in the walls.
I've been decluttering and letting go of things that no longer serve me.
2. that the Robinsons
needed me to babysit this evening. They
pay EXTREMELY well, and given how little this past paycheck was (due to having
all week off for Spring Break), the extra money from babysitting really comes
in handy.
3. that even thought
it took a bit, I FINALLY found someone to bully the apartment complex into
submission (threatening to level felony animal cruelty charges tends to perk up
a person), but they did finally come out to help liberate the squirrel I have
come to name Houdini. Originally, we
believed Houdini to be in the chimney...turns out Houdini was in the WALL
between the fireplace and our apartment.
But they followed the Wildlife rescuer's advice and left a bit of rope
dangling into where Houdini was trapped and left him alone. All is quite as of 8 pm, so I'm hoping and
praying this means Houdini made his great escape.
4. (a bonus one), my lil Niece is doing well and is finally
officially named. ::laughs:: My Bro and
Sis-in-Law thought they would have a bit more time to finally come to an
agreement, but lil Niece had other plans and showed up a week early. ::laughs::
Seems she is already proving she's maintaining the strong will/independence
exhibited by almost every single female in our bloodline.
Ok. I'm still
exhausted, but not quite so negative.
::smiles::
Sunday's gonna suck.
I've got two assignments, one major and one minor due. Plus, I will need to spend the week revamping
my Draft 3 of The Doom and Gloom Project.
And I need to talk to that professor about getting some tutoring. I really, really, REALLY do not want to have
to take this class over again.
I've decided to hold off on mailing out any postcards this
month through Postcrossing until after the move. I just don't want any getting lost in the
mail! A member of a Bullet Journaling
group I'm also a member of, was asking for people to send her child
postcards. He apparently has ADHD and
really struggles with reading, but LOVES reading postcards. So I've agreed to do this. I'm hoping that some of my students will be
interested in writing to this child as well.
I'd supply the postcard and the postage.
And hopefully I can tie this in with my "Leadership Project"
for INFO 5000 (the non-Doom and Gloom class), and get started on the journaling
group I've offered to do for that project.
THAT paper is due April 18th.
Basically, if I can survive until May 6th, it's smooth
sailing once more. Both classes will be
done. We will be free of this retched
apartment complex AND fully moved into our house. Then I can really look at our finances and
figure out what trip I can afford to take.
Hell, even if it's just a drive up to the Oklahoma City Zoo or out to
the Fort Worth Nature Preserve to do some serious hiking in nature....I just
NEED something. Hell, maybe my Mom will
be up for a trip of some sort. ::grins
and smiles::
