So life appears to be a whirl-wind. I've had at least one hour of overtime every day for the last 2 weeks. The warmer it gets, the faster the refrigeration units fail if they are limping along. Then everybody has an emergency because ice cream will melt, strawberries will mold, and flowers will wilt. Such is the life that is mine.
The hubster isn't adjusting to my new schedule as well as I thought he would. He liked me being at home more and doesn't like the added pressure to his already chaotic schedule. I'm sure it will be better when.... Don't I always say that though? This is pretty much the same schedule I was running at FM, but the big difference is OT now.
I deactivated my Facebook account a couple of weeks ago. Part of me really misses it because I was able to see everyone's pictures and what they were doing. Now I have to rely on email and the truth is - no one writes to me except my dad. His stuff is pretty funny though.
10 pm comes early; 5 am also comes early. There's a long weekend in my future. I'm hoping for Sunday morning sun to hike the falls. I know it will be packed, but Sarah's never seen it and I wanted her to hear the legends and see if she can see the princess in the mist.
The Gorge is beautiful this time of year.
Did I tell you that Chris and I are both in school?
Yup - this is a crazy-busy life.

Can you feel the changes forming?
I tell myself that life is in flux all the time. Nothing is permanent.
I started dancing two weeks ago. Every Saturday.
I was officially accepted to WP.
I started working more OT.
I ran with the dog last night. It wasn't much but it was a start. Ankle has finally healed.
I'm crabby because I have more expectations of others than they are capable of.
I'm crabby because I don't get enough sleep.
A.D.D. dogs and owners don't always mix.
I'm restless and want more. More what?
Life always has more questions than answers. Now I just need to find them.
The question is - What do you want?

One Month To The Day
Once again insomnia is my bed partner.
I started a new job and changed colleges, so there are many things that have me uneasy. These things don't mesh well with sleep.
The job seems to be all-too familiar. Its nearly the same job I had a few years back, but smaller scale and no psycho cube-neighbor. Nice because I understand what most of what the techs are doing. As far as entering their time on the job sheets and making sure the right hours get charged to the right job, it's pretty much the same (just different codes and people instead of vendors). There is also someone there who understands this is where the profitability is; I can ask questions at this job without fear that I will get screamed at by the psycho. Amazing. Oh and the boss wanted to know if I could start coming in early and staying late (including Saturdays) starting next week. That didn't take long. So glad to be in a place where I feel wanted and appreciated. It's going good.
As far as the reason I changed colleges goes - I was feeling the pressure of wanting to have this completed. I feel kinda like I've played at this degree without enough direction. I seriously thought about completing it at PSU, but the thought of paying for parking would kill me. Warner Pacific is nearly the same distance without downtown traffic. I also don't have anyone to compete with at WP. My boys (graduating with honors) footsteps are too big to follow in.
Yeah - I know I'm not competing for anything, but I also didn't want to compare my experience with theirs. They don't have kids and full-time jobs. That's enough to make you settle for "B's" for grades. I don't want straight A's. I just want to complete my degree. I want to be done. I want that damn piece of paper to hang on my wall. I need it for me. Sure, I could have gone to the degree mill and bought one but what would that have done for me? NOTHING. I want to work for it. I need the sense of accomplishment.
That being said, I'm starting to get sleepy. Sweet dreams to you.
By the way, It's been a month to the day since my last post. I haven't forgotten you.
Love you.
