Two hours and 49 minutes until the new year. Another year come and gone. It goes so quick, doesn't it?
Where should I pick up? Well, where did I leave off? Just before the wedding, right?
Well....
We made it! It went off with many mistakes, nothing went as I planned, and it was amazingly perfect. HA! Funny how that works.... The day was a blur, but just fun and amazing. I can't shout out enough to all the people who were there, who helped make it happen, and who helped clean after. It was such a fantastic day.
I didn't have much of an appetite before the wedding. After the wedding....I ate very damn thing, EVERY thing. Carbs and sugar were my very bestest friends. It's like I was catching up on all the stress eating I wanted to do.
So I'm 8 pounds up. Plus my Aunt Flo has come and gone and come and gone and she's here again (I really wish she'd let me know when she's coming) So as of this morning that's where I stand. I'm kinda ok with it, but kinda not. I feel okish, but I'm starting to feel uncomfortable again, bloated, can't poo, sluggish, pessimistic. I see the difference and I don't like it, I miss working out and being healthy and energetic.
It's too damn cold to jog outside right now but I can't wait to start again, especially since I've found a new running buddy. Two, actually. One I just did A Christmas Carol with, her name is Colleen, and she's better strumming than I am, so I'm excited to run with her cuz I know it'll be a challenge. The other friend I found on sunday, and his name is Jack. David and I call him The Jack though. This is The Jack:
He looks lazy in that picture. Trust me. HES NOT! He's a 2 yr old pure bred golden retriever. He's 60lbs of fuzz and love, and I can't wait to run with him. Especially cuz he'll prolly calm down after we do. Ha! A friend of mine from work lives with his girlfriend and her parents, and they unfortunately had to give him up. How David and I decided to get a dog, still not quite sure. David is scared of them, I don't care for them, but this dog is pretty awesome, and we love him already so much. David plans on training him to retrieve birds when they go hunting, and he's gonna take me...er, heh heh....I'm gonna take him for walks. The cats are getting used to him, -WE- are getting used to him, but he's already a great fit and we're happy we could take him. Yays!
In terms of the whole job situation....I'm still unhappy. I'm still not sure what to do. I had a pretty couple of rough weeks over the holidays...including this:
Cut myself pretty bad on my hand tool. It had three stitches in it. Looks way better...looked way worse but I figured I'd spare everyone from the bloody picture.
That pretty much made me useless at work, and I woke up late the day after. Management wanted to know if I was coming in or not. They said they'd understand if I wasn't. I came in at 2, worked til 7. The next day I came in at 11:30, worked til 7. This happened thanksgiving week, by the way, that Monday. The owner told me to go home after it happened...I didn't.
The next week went fine, I got my stitches out, and then I woke up late Friday. Not too late...kinda late. I slept until 8, we start at 7:30, I got in about 8:30....then that Sunday I had a film shoot switched on me (they needed extras and I signed up, thought I'd be filming Sunday night) to Monday and since I'd signed a contract with them I didn't want to break it-as we know that's signing you're "I never want to work with this person again" warrant...so I checked in with HR....she agreed, but told me I neede to "keep and eye on my dependability" as I'd "been having issues with it"....
Never mind the previous 8 years I've put in. I have plenty of PTO, I am entitled to use it. I can't tell you how infuriating that comment made me.
But since then I've had another film shoot, and I think 2014 is going to be the year I "get big"....I'm planning on putting a lot more effort into that.
Plus! And I can finally tell you all!!!! Theater Undregrounds plans for 2014-I'm so excited for them!!! We are launching a children's improv program for the summer, and opening Halloween night is going to be the awesomest show ever!!! We're doing A Clockwork Orange. Boom! I am stoked!!!
So many opportunities await in 2014. There's a very big spark under my ass right now. Will you excuse me whilst I fetc some gasoline?
😃
Happy New Years kids. One hour and thirty one minutes now....
