Well. It's been a month now since I've been employed.
And the paycheck has been nice. The creative stimulation and output has been a gift. But the lack of sleep needs to be fixed. I need to get better at leaving it all behind when I leave for the night or the weekend. A couple of nights last week, I didn't get to sleep until almost midnight 'cause I couldn't shut my brain off, and the 4 hours of sleep are leaving me ragged.
BUT. It's nice to actually have a life now. We go out together every Friday night for a drink, which usually melds into dinner. And then I get to go out and do somethng for me on Saturdays. Of course, Sunday = tea, paper, nascar, laundry. And maybe a little internet. Only a little.
Something is still lacking though. On weekdays, I'm usually asleep by 8:30pm wheather I want to be or not. So the week is usually one big long day, with 4 little naps to break it up. There's just no time left over after dinner, and certainly no time in the morning.
I remember Stac and I having a conversation awhile back about having it all, weather it was possible to do. The good job, the good relationship, the nice stuff, the time to enjoy it. B and I seem to be running ourselves ragged just to make sure one of us physcially pays the bills, gets to the grocery store, we find something to eat at night, and the house ends up being a mess all the damn time. Which I completely despise coming home to every night, but I can't really do anything about that. There's just no time.
Everybody keeps asking if we'll move closer to the coast to be closer to the job. The thing is, I don't want to move just to save 40 minutes a day. Wow. When I write it out like that, the drive dosen't seem so bad. I'd only save 40 minutes a day. Hmm. I like where we live, how convienent it is to everything. Just not that convienent to work. I like how nice the apartment and neighborhood are compared to where it would be more convientent to live.
Anyway, we've got to come up with a plan to fix some of this stuff. Maybe we just need a cleaning lady. Or more mojitos. We'll figure it out.
But stay with me. I'm gonna try to make posting and sewing more of a priority. Cause I need it.

If I had energy, I'd feel sad, too.
