i'm a ball of stress.
work talked about just moving me up to 30 hrs instead of 40 hrs from the half-time (20 hrs) i've been doing for 2.5 months but then backed out saying they can't do it yet. i'm broke. they told me the half-time would only last 2 months - it's running into 3. grrr.
i've already planned my vacation and was hoping to save some money for it before time runs out. all the money i can save is from my tax return.
do you wanna know where i'm going with my otherhalf?
we're going to camp at detroit lake, OR for a few days - get our hiking and outdoorsyness out. and then drive back up through oregon and make a stop in portland and stay there a few days. we're going to be in portland during a brewer's festival, so we'll check that out. otherwise, i haven't ever made the time to be touristy in portland yet. i've gone down there a few times for shows and whatnot, but haven't really wandered the city. it should be fun. as well as relaxing to stay in a hotel after the sleeping bag adventure.
today was a good day though. the bf and i got some coffee, took a walk, did some sidewalk chalk art, went to the store for some games and wine, baked some frozen pizza, played battleship, and then watched a movie - "special." pretty busy for just the two of us. he's been extra gamery lately, so it was nice to spend some quality time together instead of zone out on our respective computers.
btw, "special" is a really awesome flick. IMDB "Speical"
also, friday i drove up to see my friends. it went by really fast since i was only there for about 4 hours, even through I drove about 2.5 hours roundtrip to see them. i was stuck in traffic. it sucked.
anyway, we ended up going to the park to swing and catch up. then out to indian food. the restaurant was really new and we were the only patrons. the waiter seemed really nervous as if we were basically their first customers. the food was awesome though, and they played a 70s indian movie in the background. which i missed because it was to my back. anyway, i hope that they don't go out of business since they seemed like a really sweet family. after dinner, we went to The Marina and walked down the pier. some of our friends called while we were there, so we scampered off to meet them. i only got to hang out with those kids for, like, a half hour before i had to head home. i am happy i got to see everyone for a while though - i feel like our time together is really precious because we don't live near each other anymore, and we're all pretty busy folks.
anyway, that's my news - all out of order.
i can't believe tomorrow is sunday and i guess i'm avoiding it by staying up late. i have too much on my mind. i probably could write another few notes of thoughts, but the longer the entry the more horrid it may be to read it. i hope all of you are at peace tonight to make up for my restless brain!
PS so many of my dreams lately have been where i'm super stressed out, heart thumping, and trying to save someone i love - even if that someone is only a dream person, or my cat from home, or my mom, or my boyfriend, etc. etc.
anyone have these dreams? or know what they mean?
i basically think it has to do with fear of losing these someones.
