Ummm, hi. Yeah, it's been a week since I've posted, because frankly, I don't have anything to say. It's not that I'm busy, because I'm not really. All I've been doing for the past week is loafing on the couch and going to bed ridiculously early. Things are getting busy this weekend, what with a visit from S's mom and a two year-old's birthday party, and an eyebrow wax and lash tint on Monday. Also, (hey mom!), I'm hoping my mom will make split pea soup on Monday, not that that has anything to do with anything. Things aren't really quieting down any, either, because supposedly there is a meat festival trip in the works on Tues. or Weds. And you know, Thursday, we're getting on an airplane and we're going to Rome. So I would say that in the few days before Thurs. we'll be busy enough, as it is, with getting shit ready for the trip.
Right now, things seem paused. I still have today, plus three more days of work to deal with, and these are going to be doozies, because I'm going to try very hard to make up some extra hours when I can. And things have been increasingly boring here, to the point where I now have to amuse myself for longer than 8 hours if I'm staying extra, and it's getting really, really pointless and boring. I'm trying to find constructive things to do, I swear it. I'm just not being very successful at it. And the reading? Oh god, I love reading, but sometimes I just CAN'T anymore. I finished two books yesterday, and I'd only really started one of them. This is not the first two book day. There've been others. And I know it sounds nice, or whatever, but really? It's not the best thing in the world. (Although it's nice practice for the flights upcoming.) So I spend a lot of my time thinking or staring or just...being. It's zen work.
Meanwhile, there's this little ticker in my head: in one week, we'll be getting ready to get on a plane. At one today, in a week, we'll be in a limo on the way to the airport. Etc. You get the picture. It's not a very productive way to live. Can you fast-forward through a week? Except, grrr, I don't really want to, because there are good things happening. Like I mentioned up above. This is a really, really difficult week. And okay, I'll stop bitching now and stop blogging again.
