out of sorts The NR used all of my Coffeemate that I purchased last week. I purchased a large bottle, and told NR and OR that they could use some, but I hadn't intended on her using all of it. I used it a couple times, and then went to get a drink yesterday afternoon, and poof. It was all gone. It would never occur to me to use all of someone's anything, let alone take the last of it. I went to the grocery store last night after work to pick up some things for lunch, and I almost picked up a new one, but decided against it. I'm not going to spend my money so she can have something sweet to put in her coffee. She can get her own. I did go to Target, though, and picked up a 16 oz thermos with a nifty pop top. I've been looking for one since Tim and I were together--he had one that I thought was so cool, but I've had a difficult time finding one. And although I'd just looked at Target a couple weeks ago, I looked again and there it was. It isn't pretty and purple like the Coleman thermos is that I almost purchased last time, but it has the pop top lid, so that makes me happy. I can now fix my own coffee in the morning and drink it on the way to work. And keep my Coffeemate at home where I know I will always have some available. Also, at Target, I found a desk that I think I'm going to purchase once I move. It has plenty of workspace, and it's pretty, and the price is right. I received a Potterybarn catalog yesterday, and found a desk that I loved in there as well. Nice, large workspace, with plenty of shelving on the side. It's really a desk top on two large 3x3 bookshelves on either side, but it is also $1200. Ouch. I'd really like that one more, but perhaps Artboy and I can make one. It's a fairly quiet day at work today. I have a bunch of stuff I should be doing right now, but I'm taking it easy. I've gotten a lot done today, so it isn't like I haven't done anything, and I felt I should take advantage of the fact that the only other person in the office today besides me is the NR. I've been feeling so out of sorts lately..I don't know what is up with me. I know I've been feeling disconnected with Artboy--especially after this weekend. I've been going through withdrawals, only seeing him once or twice a week for the last couple months, but I was handling it fairly well until this weekend. He said something that made me freak out and worry about how things will change once we move in together. I emailed him this morning, and he replied back in such a way that it should relieve that fear. But I guess I'm not ready to let go of it just yet. I think not having my own space is wearing on me as well. I mean, my parents have made me feel totally welcome, but it isn't the same as having your own space. And I know that I'll have my own place in a little over a month, but it feels like an eternity. It could be worse though. I could be Val. Her life is so very up in the air right now, and her, her husband, and her twins are currently living with her parents. They can't move into her house until July--but right now, she couldn't afford to move in her house. Her husband is having a difficult time finding permanent work--he's working two crap jobs to make some money, but it isn't enough. BOth her parents drink alot and her mom has a gambling problem. It's a difficult place to be. I'm bummed we didn't get our rain today. I was really looking forward to it. Barely got any yesterday. I guess I should be happy that it rained at all. |
