yucky sucky
Disclaimer: this entry will be filled with even more whining and bitching than average. :)
I called one of my friends I haven't talked to in awhile yesterday and she asked where I've been and I answered "in hell" and I wasn't totally kidding.
Trying to buy a house is practically a second job. First you have to research a ton of things - desirable locations, building features, financing options. Then you examine a bunch of mostly undesirable homes, with a few gorgeous ones you can't afford thrown in just for fun. Once you've settled on a particular property, there is even more to take care of. In the meantime, "concerned" people will express how "dangerous" it is to purchase a house if you aren't married. As if marriage is a lifelong guarantee of smooth sailing. Of course after all the paperwork is signed, you then have the pleasure of moving. I don't really mind moving because it is an opportunity to purge junk/unneeded items, the only thing that really worries me is the chances of my belongings being damaged during the process. However, not everybody shares my enthusiasm about moving so I figured I'd throw that in there because when you get down to it, it does fit into the 'job' category.
Speaking of work, I feel like I am at my wits end this week. It has been like a roller coaster, punctuated with extreme highs and lows. For starters, I received a semi-promotion (yes, after just a month *curtseybowcurtsey*). On the flip side, I had to take on extra responsibilities when my plate is already pretty full, but I thought it would be a good challenge. However, yesterday, I screwed up big time. I'll admit it, I wasn't paying attention and let something occur that should never have happened. I know it won't be the first time or the last that I make a mistake, but I was doing so well and now this sort of mars it. :-( I was careless, and I could make excuses and say it is because I am so busy and stretched thin, but I could have prevented it. :-( Oh well. I tried to soothe myself with a manicure and pedicure yesterday and it sort of worked.
I woke up early intending to take a shower, so I'd better scoot.
