Posting 2 days in a row?!
I got up this morning and got started on some passive productiveness. I started a load of laundry with my wonderful, brilliant-smelling, only-need-a-lil'-bit, BioKleen detergent. It smells so good with grapefruit seed and orange peel extracts. Delightful! I used their limey bac-out when the cat peed on some of Beebs' stuffed animals. He has since peed on her owly pillow Roommate's mom made for her. Argh! Anyway, just sayin', got that passive cleaning thing going with the machines.
Roommate headed off to work and I settled down with coffee and a book. I've been reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I like it but I'm ready to finish it. Next I want to read this Jon Krakauer book my BIL was telling me he read.
Totally overwhelmed by Christmas shopping. Low on funds and wanting to be super-creative/thoughtful but just...sort of at a loss. I was looking at some Etsy shops that make really adorable kids' clothes and shoes and such but one shirt will be like $105.00. Um..I'd love to support you but holy cow, man!
When it is cold outside it is so hard for me to be motivated. All I want to do is be nestled inside warm. I want cuddly blankets and a cuddly baby and books and soup and naps. I've been over-indulging in such gluttonous things as I have all these glorious days off work. I worked my normal amount of shifts but then I got canceled on Sunday due to low census and thus will have 7 days off in a row. I am SO grateful. Happy birthday to me! One more day off and then back to work. I'll try not to be filled with The Dread. It's inevitable though. The day before, evening before I go to work is usually a somewhat depressing time. It's ridiculous to be that way and also, a really big waste of time and energy. I will try REALLY hard not to be that way. I just need to be productive and enjoy this time off and get rested and then I'll work.
So many people around me with December birthdays!! It's fun! Oh! Oh my gosh. Yesterday, I had uploaded like 8 million photos that I'd like to print for myself and family members for Christmas. I created a flickr account unassociated with anything else I do - just for pictures and apparently I picked a name I'd never, ever, ever remember - a name I'd never used for anything else and that's idiotic because I tried over and over and over and all different methods of retrieving the username and could NOT log in and I was so irritated because it's a pro account I PAID for and just when I was ready to give up, I tried this TOTALLY random name and...voila! What was I thinking?! Anyway. glugh. Need to order those. Would people be disappointed if they only got photos of my kid for Christmas? ha.
Did I tell you I applied for another new job? I haven't heard from them. I don't know if I should call? Talk to HR? Or..I don't know? The job is at a different hospital in a TOTALLY different area. It's a night position - which scares me because I don't want a night position really but..temporarily. I already typed about this on here..didn't I?
It's sleeting now. I'd prefer a heap of snow..not ice, thanks.
So anyway. We'll be here today. We'll eat some leftover soup and read our library books we got yesterday..and we'll finish this episode of Sesame Street and maybe I'll do some online shopping. I hate going shopping!!
Any great gift ideas? Why does everything seem so expensive?
Why does everything seem so expensive?
ReplyDelete'cause it mostly is. and often times crap to boot.
send the pic of the adorable one, with a quick family note to folks; they'll understand and appreciate it.
if they don't...well, that tells you something right there, huh?
...was thinking...S and I are going to start up with yoga again once our teacher returns from her holiday--January. Monday nights. Wanna come along?
ReplyDeletehey, k! maybe so!
ReplyDeletei really really liked the yoga gallery in old op. i could still go there on sundays for restorative yoga. of course i work every few mondays - rotating, la lala.
yeah...i know your schedule is wacky, but i was thinking that if you knew we were going, you'd feel more comfortable...yoga for me is like therapy...that's what got me thinking about it...i think you'd enjoy it. maybe roommate could come too? my in-laws have watched O while we go. it is just divine!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm really behind on all my reading - did I tell you I was moving to VA at the end of the month?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I agree everything is expensive, and most of it is crap. Why not try to give experiences instead of more stuff that people have to manage/cram into their house? We're giving the gift of food to a couple that we drew for Christmas. Someone else I knew got tickets for her brother and his wife so they have a date night. I think people would love to have a pic of Beebs!
