i'm trying to think of something to write about today. i have been MIA lately cuz of work issues. a few times i haven't been on my computer. other times, i've been teaching training to a bunch of idiots who can't grasp the concept of the program i work with and so i'm continuously having to answer the SAME question again and again. *c'mon people! it's not all that hard!*
regardless, i don't have a lot to write about. i have been down a bit lately, as well. the death of my friend has made me take stock in a lot of things, has made me miss my friends and family tremendously. the highlight of my day seems to be hearing from my mama, my sisters (even if it is to about 'luckey fannie,' 'plain white Ts' or 'house keys for john's house') and little colby (always the same conversation, but i love him anyway). i'm fortunate to have my daddy out here with me; we try to hang out and have dinner together at least twice a week. i am looking forward to getting away from co-workers and going to dinner with him tonight. i'm also glad we're on the same shift this time around; we've been on several tests before but it seems that he's always on opposite shifts as i am. having him around helps a lot with the homesickness. less than a month and i'm home.
i hate being away from home because i lose my routine. all of my routines. i have been eating like crap out here for the most part and haven't successfully been to the gym out here for more than a day in a row, one day a week. i can tell i'm gaining weight, and while it irritates me, i do nothing about it. i dislike the gym out here and it's hard on my asthma for me to run outside (side note: ben and i ran the canyon the other day and i puked everywhere when i was done and couldn't catch my breath for the next two days). i haven't been eating out a lot but when i do, i overindulge in all the *authentic* mexican food and amazing chips and salsa. heaven knows the only place i eat out here is leo's mexican (thanks again, samantha, for the recommendation). i miss my own bed, my own shower, my own friends, my own life. everytime i go TDY i feel as though my life is put on hold and the rest of the world continues. i really hope that i don't have to do this forever!
wow . . . i didn't intend on this blog being a downer. on a funnier note, my maid steals from me. but she never steals anything worth much. it's mostly my allergy medication. the first time i realized it, it was because she left the box but took the actual pills and left me with none. and since i'm ridiculously routine and OCD, i open my allergy pills a certain way; she opens them differently. i also count my medicine. every night, one extra is missing. since it's *only* my allergy medication right now, i haven't reported it. everyone keeps telling me i need to, and while i agree that it's wrong, i'd hate for anyone to get fired in this economy. let her touch my skor candy bar or my dasani water -- THEN i'll tell! do you think i should tell, though?

HOLY CRAP
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one with a shoulder thing. I LOVE broad shoulders. And I thought I was the only one who didn't have a middle name. WOW. I'm so doing this later.
I absolutely LOVE CC and AJ and all those shows. And I LOVE the E! True Hollywood Investigates specials. Even though they're not all about crime. There's a channel called the ID channel (it's another Discovery branch) and it's all crime all the time. They have a show called Most Evil where this psychiatrist has come up with a scale and he ranks famous murderers and such on it. I LOVE IT.
oh yeah -- i *lovelovelove* "most evil." my roommate got me hooked onto that one. that's another channel i watch often cuz they also have "dateline" on ID. hilarious.
ReplyDeleteam waiting on your survey answers!
For someone without anything specific to say, you are very wordy! I hope you have a good day and things start looking brighter for you. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteLOL SF isn't usually my first choice. I was craving Italian... and I promised John I wouldn't bring up Olive Garden until after the babies are born!
