The run down:
Over the past week, some stuff happened in my life that very much reminded me of how I am not where I want to be. It seems that when I have these moments, I get very sad and then very angry and then I actually do something about it.
The last time this happened, I got a big promotion. This time, I'm buying myself a wheel.
I have spent a lot of time sleeping recently. I work and then I sleep. I was pretty sad about this, but now I'm starting to be okay with it. I am weary.
It occurred to me that I'm not as nice to me as I am to my friends. I say mean things about myself and ignore my desires. In order to change my perspective, I've decided that I'm my own girlfriend. So now I can say that I am dating a beautiful, intelligent, and passionate woman and it's really okay for me to blush and feel giddy that someone is saying such nice things about me.
Moving on.
Believe it or not, I try to stay out of the news. I used to care a lot about everything in the news, but now all I see and hear is sensationalism and fear mongering. I get annoyed with the journalists and don't listen to the stories. At first, I thought this state government shutdown was a pseudo crisis just like any other story pumped up for the front page. Granted, we are not going to be in a state of total anarchy starting tomorrow, but the day-to-day of the average Michigan resident is actually going to change because of our lawmakers' inability and unwillingness to work together.
And I'm so glad to hear that everyone is stocking up on booze. At least people know where their priorities lie.
Oh, and I'm very excited for MistressMissy and EvanX, a very neat couple who like each other a lot, will be declaring their devotion before their friends and family in less than two weeks!

i seem to go through a very similar thought process to you. i'm glad that you're gonna try and appreciate yourself a little more, because if anyone deserves it, it's you *hugs* and just to reaffirm your opinion of your wonderful new girlfriend, i think she's amazing and beautiful too.

do you know if when they screwed up the whole gift account for me, if they upgraded it to a year for the troubles?
