Morning writing warmup
Time to get my writing muscles working.
I came down with a head cold over the weekend, and I doubt the winter-like Seattle rain in June helps any. The heat actually came on the other day, and we’re like “c’mon, you’ve gotta be kidding me!” Blah, Seattle, blah. Anyways, my cold has finally gone away, after sleeping away half the weekend and drinking half a bottle of NyQuil. Go me!
The boyfriend’s out of town for the week, so it’s time to PAR-TAY! Well, maybe not. I guess I was excited about having guilt-free time to myself before he left, but I miss him like hell already — and he only left yesterday! I think that must say something about our relationship. As much as I get caught up in how blase it feels sometimes, I think I’m way more devoted to him than I realize. He gets back late Sunday night (technically, early early Monday morning, at like 1:30 a.m.). We’ll see if I can’t keep myself out of trouble before then!
As for work, I decided to take the other job position. I figure I have nothing to lose, and staying with the company a little longer takes out any personal element of my previous situation, i.e. good for positive job reference. My last day at my current job will be this Friday, and next week Wednesday I’ll be starting up with the new position. A bonus is that I’m switching from full-time employment to a 32-hour work week, at my own request. Sure, I’m taking a pay cut, but it’s worth it — I feel like I never have enough time on my hands. This job is only a temporary means to an end, and I need time to figure out what that “end” is.
Not much else going on. My friend Jay’s birthday is this Friday — Friday the 13th, no less. I’m debating what I should get him. I’m thinking of getting him something quirky, like a pet fish. Who doesn’t love a pet fish? I love pet fish, but can’t seem to keep any of them alive. I can’t even keep a stupid plant alive.
Go me!

I just bought myself a plant!! Seeing at dumb ass ex-boyfriend killed all my fish, I opted for a plant now. I wanted fish, but I’m not home an awful lot. I don’t even know how my cat Pickle, stays alive! lol, I pay that cat a lot of attention. Maybe its the kind of plant that isn’t working.
If you’d like, you can borrow my dirtless plant. Just stick it under the faucet every 3-4 days and set it by the window. My champ’s been enduring a fairly dry year and isn’t so shabby.
