The last few days, or weeks, {I don't know anymore at this point} the fog has been so thick that it hasn't burned off at all. It's lifted, some, but never cleared. I think today was the first day since it all started that it lifted enough where I could see the top of the Columbia Tower. However, it was short lived because the next round of fog moved in just as the sun was supposed to be setting so now it's probably going to be super thick tomorrow morning.

Going back to work today, despite the fact that I felt like I got a decent night's sleep, just completely drained my energy. I was dragging just like any other day of the week. It didn't feel like I had just come back from a 3-day weekend. Or maybe it did and it's just been that long since I've had any time off I didn't know what to expect when I went back to work. If that's the case, I'm going to be fucked the first day back after my vacation lol.

I'm hoping to be in bed before 10, but I'm more aiming for 10:30 since it's already almost 9:30. Hopefully I sleep well enough tonight.

Until tomorrow. . .

This weekend was exactly what I needed. Friday I spent running errands. Yesterday I got my laundry done, hung out for a while and went to the party. I had a great time at the party last night. We went to breakfast this morning. I came home and napped for a while before going out to dinner with a friend. It was a weekend of rest, low stress, good times and good food with good people.

This weekend is also the last weekend that I'll have like that until my vacation. I'll be attempting to get some overtime over the next month and a half so that I can save up just that little extra. I'm not sure how much I'll actually get considering I'm at the other job 5 days a week, but I'm sure something will be available that I'll be able to take.

I kind of feel like I'm sucking at being able to keep up with these daily entries, but out of the entire year I think I've only missed maybe 5 days so I guess I'm not doing too bad. I know I said I would try to remember to write something up before I went out last night, because I knew I wouldn't be home, but I clearly forgot. Oh well. I still think I'm going pretty strong on sticking with the challenge.

Alright, I need to get some sleep before I go back in full force. I'll probably be asleep in the next hour or so. Hopefully I'm relaxed enough that I can sleep through the night.

Until tomorrow. . .

I got some much needed sleep last night. I laid down sometime shortly after 10 and I was asleep before 10:30. I slept straight until just before 7:30 then laid in bed until I eventually fell asleep again. I woke up again around 11 and finally decided that I needed to get up for the day. I finally worked up the motivation to get dressed and head out around 1:30ish and was home around 5 or so.

I stopped at the coffee shop, spent more than I planned on there. I also made a trip up to Sam's so that I could buy a few things for tomorrow night's party. I also spent more there than I planned, but that's okay. Some of the things I got I kind of needed; ie: pillows.

I'll be transferring some money out of my vacation stash so that I can buy new pants for work tomorrow, since the ones I have are pretty much spent. The hole I patched held up for a couple months, but now the fabric is rubbing too thin and there's not much I can do when it's not on a seam. Hopefully they still have the same pants. Or, what would be nice is if they have the same pants from before that I could go back to. Those were a little cheaper and lasted just as long. Either way, I'm hoping for something a little less than $40.

Tomorrow morning, whenever I wake up, I'll get my laundry done. I'll probably spend most of the day catching up on Hulu shows before heading to my friend's place. Last time was fun, but awkward so hopefully this time will just be fun. I'm really wishing that my manager would be more open to coming along, but then it might have just been awkward. I'm also hoping the reason why it didn't work out makes itself known, but you know how these things work out. You never seem to know the reason why something does or doesn't happen until much later on down the road and more than half the time, you don't even figure out the reason. Or you make one up just to make yourself feel better. Either way, I'm hoping for this to be one of those times where it makes itself known.

Anywho, I think I may watch a show or two before heading to bed. I kind of want to stay up later tonight since I know I don't have to be up in the morning. We'll see what happens.

Until tomorrow. . .

I'm not done writing these daily entries, but I'm giving myself a 3 day weekend so the entries might be coming rather early in the morning so that I don't miss them later in the day.

I'm driving myself crazy over this crush I have. I wish I could just turn off a switch and it would all stop. Or he could just work all mornings so that I wouldn't have to see him, ever. However, that would be too easy. I want to just go for it an ask him out on a date, but I know how he would react to it right now. It's just too soon. I need to wait for the right timing.

Tomorrow is payday so I have errands to run. Sleeping in is the first thing on that list. Saturday I have laundry to do and I'll be hanging out with my friends later in the evening. Sleeping in is still first thing on the list. Sunday I'll be sleeping in and taking it easy then going to dinner with the friend I lost the challenge to. You notice the recurring theme? Yeah, it's a recovery weekend. After this it's back to work, work work so that I can save up on the final few weeks before my trip.

Until tomorrow. . .

Twice I had to remind myself that it was still Wednesday and not Thursday, as my mind kept wanting to convince me. Twice. I definitely need this extending weekend of mine to come. It'll be just the little bit of a break that I need to be able to get through the next 7 weeks.

I've been so tired lately that I'm thankful for the slow day we had at work. I actually dozed off a few times. It wasn't for any more than a few minutes at a time, but I definitely need to catch up on some much needed sleep. Sam's wasn't too bad and I was working with some pretty upbeat people so that helped keep me awake. Only one more day to get through.

I'll probably be up for a little while because I want my hair to dry some before I call it a night. However, since it takes forever for it to dry anyway, I don't think staying up an extra hour would make too much of a difference so we'll see how tired I get in the next hour or so.

We have a state-wide earthquake drill at 10:17 tomorrow morning. It's completely voluntary, but people are encouraged to partake. There will be a scenario drill afterward at our campus between the managers so that should make for an interesting second half of the shift. Here's to hoping it goes by quickly and smoothly without me wanting to end up strangling someone.

Until then. . .

We're already halfway through October. I will be writing these entries from a Vegas hotel room 7 weeks from now. Excited? Just a bit. Can time hurry up please?

I think I may have to schedule an appointment with my doctor soon because I strained my wrist the other day and I'm beginning to think I might have onset carpal tunnel syndrome. I'll just have to make sure I remember when exactly I did it so that if I have to fill out on-the-job paperwork, I'll have a good date/time frame in which it happened. I'm gonna type out Saturday morning between 7 and 10am as a base in case I forget. I'm pretty sure it was when I had to count out the $260 in singles.

I really need to get over my crush. I need to move on. It's really not going to work so long as I'm working there and there's no point in getting all worked up about something that's never going to happen. I mean, who knows if it actually will in the future, but until I quit, or have the opportunity to quit {ie: after my vacation} I just really need to back off and stop fantasizing. It bugs me when he's there now and not in the giddy way that it did when I first was crushing on him.

Two more days to get through. Hopefully they go buy quickly and smoothly. We'll see what happens.

Until tomorrow. . .
