Twilight

I’m ashamed to say this, but I’m now a fan. My sister has been trying to get me into this phenomenon for quite some time, but to no avail. Then I saw the previews for New Moon. It looks awesome! But I can’t see it without seeing the first one.

So it’s official. I’ve seen Twilight. And I loved it. I want to own it on Blu-Ray so I can watch it over and over again. I think I’ve regressed to my teenage years.

Why I <3 Old Men

Basically, this is the best thing that happened in football this week. Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams decided to stick it to the Bills after their big win. And since he’s 86, the best way for him to do that apparently was with his hands. Amazing.

Was it worth the $250,000 he was fined? For my entertainment value, absolutely!

Looking Forward

I have a fabulous weekend coming up to round out a pretty chill week. Hooray!!

Friday: Hanging out with friends, and as an added bonus I don’t have to travel far from my house. Yes, that is a plus since I work so much now.

Saturday: Watching my team hopefully hold their own against a tough opponent. RELAXING. Maybe decorating the apartment. After a few months of bare-ish walls it will be nice to have more decorations. And last but definitely not least, Ladies-Only PJ Party! I’m super excited for this and have my purple satin PJs all ready to go :)

Sunday: Spending time with my great uncle and then going bridesmaid dress shopping!!! This is my first wedding and I couldn’t be more excited. Plus the dresses are super cute and that never hurts either :)

Better

OK this week is better. I’m not sure where I got this “second wind” but I’m not going to question it.

I’m more settled into this new job of mine, and I’m more caught up on things related to my unpaid gig. And the first job, well that’s smooth sailing as always. I love that job.

I truly hope this isn’t a fleeting thing that will go away next week, because this week is really good. I think I can manage if things stay this way. Who cares about long hours right now? I’m about to get my first “grownup” paycheck, I’ve found time to go to the gym, and I’ve even worked out a way to continue eating well (or at least eating less junk). Maybe the issue is recharging on the weekends. I can get on board with that :)

Employment!

Some of you already know I started my new job this week. But for those of you who don’t, yeah I recently went from being under-employed to over-employed.

I have 3 jobs.

We’ll call my original paid job “Job A”. My unpaid internship will be “Job B” and my new job will be “Job C”

I’m not sure what I was thinking, but I think I’m losing my mind. It’s been a week and I’m exhausted. I don’t want to go out. I just want to sleep. I work 11 hours 3 days a week, 12 hours 1 day, and a straight 8 the other. It’s long. I get home, eat dinner, and have time for maybe one TV show before getting ready for bed so I can do it all over again the next day. I haven’t been to the gym at all this week and I hate it. It’s especially bad because there’s so much candy at Job C.

I think the flaw with this plan is that 2 days a week I go from Job C to Job A to Job B. The other 3 days a week I only have to go into 2 places.

I’m not sure which is worse – under-employment and having no money, or over-employment and having no time or energy to do anything.

Maybe this week is an anomaly. After all, I was dealing with getting settled into the new job, dealing with all kinds of bullshit related to insurance companies and getting my car fixed post-accident, and figuring out loan repayments. And we all know how well I do with change LOL.

Hopefully next week is better. I worry I’m going to lose my mind. And that’s one thing I don’t care to lose.
