I Didn't Think About It

I have been ultra busy, lately. I moved. I hung stuff on the wall. I washed dishes -- a lot of dishes. I sobered up a drunk (long, long, long story). I acclimated my dog to a new house. I wrote papers. I graded papers. I designed kitchens. I sold A LOT of appliances (did I mention that I get a commission at my new job?) I lost more weight (well under 200 for the first time in YEARS). I went to a funeral and cried a lot (thinking of Brian and his new baby). I talked to old friends I hadn't seen in years. I stayed out of a brewing family feud (yeah -- not me this time). I got laid (again, long story). I took garbage out. I got free mulch for my back yard. I haven't gotten myself in trouble at work, yet. I finally watched a Netflix I've had for several weeks -- maybe several months (after I -- that's right -- I fixed the DVD connection issue on the main television). I bought a lot of crap that fell under the heading of "immediate need" for my house (after I borrowed money from a good friend). I fixed some stuff.

I am going to have to take a sub job or two in the next few weeks (before Christmas break, anyway). I will need the money to pay back my friend and buy Christmas gifts.

Did I mention that I behaved like a grown up? Really -- several times. I have to say I am very proud of myself right now. And I didn't even cry (except at the funeral of that poor girl -- the wife of an old friend of mine. Sandy died only a day or so after giving birth to a new little girl -- who now has to grow up without a mommy. That really sucks!).
