I have off tomorrow and even though I have two dr appointments, I can't wait to sleep in. Sunday and Monday night football kill me this time of year sleepwise.
It's only 7:30 and I already want this day to be over haha. I'm exhausted and ready to go to bed. I have to be up with DS all day after working all night. At least I should sleep good tonight.

UGH! That's rough! Sorry mel! Hopefully your DS will want to take a nap later!
I'm heading back to work after staying home sick the past 2 days. I still feel crappy, but I'd need a doctor's note if I take a 3rd day off in a row and I didn't see a doctor. Besides, I'm now 2 days behind on getting payments out so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Today is a double work day. I'm already drained thinking about it!
It's cool enough to wear a sweater today, which I'm excited about. I'm not a fan of most of my clothing as of late, but I have a few sweaters that I really like. Today feels like a sparkly sweater day, lol.
I think getting up at 6am agrees with me more than getting up at 7am. I've started waking up naturally around 6am, but it becomes a battle because I know I could sleep one more hour, yet I will feel so groggy all day if I do.
My cat is being so cute this morning. This alone makes me want to get back in and snuggle him for a while. Right now he's curled up next to my foot, purring away!

I wore a winter fucking jacket to work this morning. 1. It was 45 degrees this morning, 2. Its new and I was kinda excited to wear it. But its cold and its only september and I'm already over it.
Tomorrow is my every other Thursday - Thursday off. We were going to take the inflatable boat out on the river with the dog, but apparently inflatable boats with motors need to be registered. Maybe a hike, or just drink cheap beer at the VFW. At any rate, its a day off and I can't wait to get out of here this morning.

I woke up at 4 feeling really awake and then messed on my phone for a bit, then layed back down until the alarm at 5:30 and couldn't drag myself up until 6. I do not understand this...I should have just gotten up at 4.

I woke up at 3 am and was wide awake til about 4. Therefore, I woke up later than my normal time and got a later start to my day than I wanted. On the plus side, the weather here is cloudy and chilly, just the way I like it.
I cancelled my TV service and reduced my cell phone bill by $20/month yesterday by switching to a lower data plan. Feeling good about saving money!
peppermint - Yay for canceling cable and saving money!! I canceled cable too when I moved out in June, partly because I saw so many people here doing it (pantsoffdanceoff) and surviving. I love not having that big bill now.
My random is that I dreamed I was pregnant last night. It felt so real. I went for the ultrasound with my mom and found out it was a boy. I cried because I didn't want to be pregnant and wanted it to be a girl since I already have a boy. I woke up feeling bad that I felt bad about being pregnant. I can't have another baby safely and I love DS so much that it seems strange that I could ever be sad about having a baby. Dreams suck sometimes.

Thanks! And good for you for cancelling cable too - when I first got divorced, I went without TV for a year and it was awesome. I was so much more productive. Time to ditch the bill and get back to being productive, LOL!
Sorry about your dream - I hate when sad dreams feel real.
I get so excited when young people start their retirement savings. I calculated that one client would have over a million dollars by age 60, just by saving $75 a month beginning at age 21. Obviously she'll need more because you need to factor in inflation but still, it's a start! Every time I get discouraged when I see someone draining their retirement for something unnecessary I remind myself that I can't help everyone but I can start educating people when they're young to actually save a little for the future.

It's rainy and the president is in town. So my commute was terrible. Anyways, last night I took a deep look at my friendships since separating from my husband and I realize that I only have one really good friend. Most of my friends are acquaintances. This has made me think about how I open up and I think I need to work on that.
Worked in two closets this morning. Got rid of more clothes plus have quite the pile started for my yard sale. Already plus $80 since I sold a couch, some lamps, and a shelf last night. If I could clear another $100 during the sale I'd be pretty happy. Looking forward to grilling out tonight.
I live in a basement apartment. It's FREEZING in there. Heat went on Sunday. Meh.
New guy I went on the date with B and I have been texting a lot. He asked to see me again Sunday I'm smiling. He's sweet and nice and kind and funny. Opened/closed my car door for me, very respectful. It's real! I'm not trying to get too excited about him, but I'm enjoying him a lot.
I applied for a PT job at AE. If anything I can get a discount on my clothes? Ugh. More time eaten but I do need the money to get my car paid down faster. We'll see if they call.

I am hungover today and not very productive at work. I got my paper back from the prof and she wants me to do the revisions, so I will be doing that tonight.

I leave for Denver in the morning! NG told me last night that he's going to miss me Awwwww! Usually I'm a last minute packer and I run around in a panic the night before I leave, but I actually forced myself to start last night and I got the majority of it done, so I have way less anxiety about it now.
Work is oddly slow this week. I'm a little worried that since it's a temp job, it's not going to last long if this keeps up. There are 3 of us that were hired for the same job, I don't doubt that they need at least 1 of us to continue but it doesn't seem like enough work for 3 people full time. I literally have had nothing to do a few times. It's weird.
I'm excited though because I'm getting to be the main recruiter for 1 position, so I'm spending a lot of my time in the next week doing phone interviews. I enjoy talking to people and it makes the time fly by, so that should be fun. Hopefully I do a good job and they let me do more recruiting.

Working from home today since I have a realtor coming to look at my house. The more I think about it, the more I think I might sell and buy something different. The house is in my dream location but it is at the top of my budget and it might be nice to have something new, that is just me.
I'm golfing tonight with a few friends from work. I am maybe the worst golfer ever but it will be fun to get outside in the nice weather!
I think I'm going to cancel on my date tonight and am going to blame not feeling well, which is sort of true. But I also need to get crap ready for camping and tomorrow DS has football, so no time tomorrow.
There will be humping tonight because we were both too tired last night and the night before.
So, Saturday I had an interesting experience. I was helping a friend of mine, who was pretty drunk, get changed and she leaned over and started kissing me and feeling me up. I wasn't as drunk and felt kinda bad actually so I stopped her. But, it was kinda hot!
