All manner of things

angelakAmazing how I most often make it to Livejournal in the early-morning time lately.
Mostly because I can't shower until I cool down if I do dredge myself out of bed. I find myself trying to get more sleep so I can get out of bed, which tends to benefit me in the longrun (hah) anyway.
Went to OLOTEAS, a friend's party briefly, and went ice-skating on the tiny-crappy-rink in downtown Bellevue. That was an exercise in entertainment. But it was fun with Jim and chinchillagirl, who I never see enough - although she has a much busier schedule than me. ;)
Life flows along. I saw a bunch of people that I haven't seen in a while, and that was fantastic. Thanksgiving was as exciting as it always is - although we took Travis down with us to Portland. We'll see - but I think next year I may opt to stay in town. I have been spoiled all my life by having family in the local area. Even just driving to Portland felt like a colossal time sift for my day off. But that's okay. I did get to hang out with Jim for roughly 8 hours straight in the car on one day thanks to traffic and all that jazz. Damn accidents. I think someone really got hurt too, blarg. (it was just ahead of us).
We had home made pizza last night that only partially turned out. What I mean is, mine turned out great, Jim's came out wacky. I felt like I ate a lot. I think I did. Oh well.
I mapped out my calendar until the end of year on the wall (I have these sheets that I can write 2 week slots, so the next 6 weeks are now on Door 2.) If you've ever seen my 3 doors, you'd know what I meant. (They're in my house.)
Needless to say... I am amazed that by the end of 6 weeks, we'll be in 2008. That means I need to hurry up and do some lousy self-evaluation for work. Review time, joy of all joys. That's okay. I get the feeling my boss will try and make it as painless as possible, yet again. I should really be MINDFULLY thankful he doesn't make review-time stressful.
I think he likes it as much as we do. Which is not very. The good news about that is, I most likely will get another pay increase. More money towards bills and savings sure never hurt me any! Maybe it will yet again give me an attitude adjustment. (Money helps with that job-lull, I've been here a long time thing).
Whatever the case, I bitch and moan at home and keep most of my whining about the workplace on the down-low.
I am getting cold. I must finally be cooling, heh. Well, this morning I extended my distance yet again. A little further. I felt energetic today.
We circuit trained last night (Jim and I) together, and that was fun. This time felt much better than last time, when I felt like he was visiting too much and pushing us too little. While it is not 100% his responsibility to push on our workouts, if he doesn't, and he talks a lot - it's harder for me to get him moving. Yesterday I think we successfully pushed each other equally.
Speaking of sleeping beauty (Jim) in the other room... perhaps I should put the coffee on. I am disappointed though. I asked him to rinse out the dough-bowl before I went to bed last night and he (being Jim) forgot. He forgets a great many things, and he is genuinely forgetful and absent minded... it's just frustrating because now the dough crap has hardened. *sighs* I WILL whine later.
And he will as usual, feel genuinely bad.
:P
Now I am cold. I should go take a nice happy shower without sharing the warm water. Sometimes I love showering with people. Other times I just want some freakin' space, no?!
LOL.
Depends on my mood. Doctor's appointment for me Wednesday, 14:15, and Rufus Saturday 12:00. Mental notes to self. Oh. And drill for Jim is the 8-9, which means he can come with me for Rufus' vet visit. AND I can easily make it getting up early to go to the Casino with Grandma and Mom. Mostly to get hang out time in with Gma. Maybe some Yulemas shopping out of the way.
