greenstormThis is what we here call progress, doncha know?
First day of work happened today. Tiring, felt good, I'm kind of looking forward to tomorrow. But, you ask?
Well, the SO and TOW wanted to have a date tonight, and I told them I needed them out of the house by 10 because I'm working pretty early tomorrow. So some stuff came up around that, and it sucks. I'm hoping it won't bother me to have people around when I need to get up after a couple of go-throughs, especially if they can stay in the livingroom or whatever, because I hate the thought of them not being able to get together.
It also sucked because I was tired and was hoping that stuff wouldn't come up tonight, but hey, it happens. I realise that next time I need to say something like, 'don't interact with me' as well, and head into the bedroom or whatever if stuff starts to cut up. I learned space management when I was home with my family going through school, I should remember those skills now.
But, altogether, I'm not unhappy. I called Estrellada and I might be her date for thanksgiving (American thanksgiving) next Thursday, which would be cool. I've got some time planned with the SO this weekend, I may have time to MUSH this weekend (gasp, yes!) and just generally do my own thing.
I'm definitely feeling in control of my life, which is a great way to feel -- not in control as in, I can decide every nitpickity detail of my environment, but that I can learn from my environment, that things will happen once or twice but that if I really want to I can manage/prevent them beyond that, that I have some say in what I do and who I do it with.
That may have something to do with an arrangement TOW, the Juggler and I came to the other night, which is that I spend Monday nights at TOH. It's not a permanent date with any one person, but I get to hang around whoever's there. Now, I do spend a lot of time there anyhow, but this is one thing that I can actually look forward in the week or in the month to, and say, I'll for sure get to be there then! Usually, due to Juggler's preference and some other stuff, we just sort of head over when peopel feel like it and head back likewise.
So I'm getting some scheduling for a lot of things in my life, and it's good. On the other hand, I'm not watering the plants enough -- it's really warm in this apartment, we get free heat and enough that we can leave the windows open a crack, but that does dry the plants out quickly. I think I want a fish tank. Maybe it'd keep it moister. ;)
Yeah. And now I'll finish dinner and sleep, after reading a bit from Stephenson's Burning Chrome which is a collection of his short stories. As the Juggler said, I feel like I should like his stuff. I like some of the short stories... and I liked Snow Crash.
Take care, y'all. :)
