Take Each Day For What It Is

****

What I do today is important because I trade a day of my
life for it.

It feels so late to me. My mind and body swear it's the
middle of the night. The wee hours of the morning, but the
clock says its only 10:39pm. I'm so going to bed after
this. I've spent too much time on the computer. Otherwise
I would have already been to bed by now.

I had a good day. It was non-eventful, but that isn't
always a bad thing. My life is either mundane or a
whirlwind. So, I'm learning to take each day for what it
is. That's why I liked the quote I picked today. I'm going
to make an effort to pick a quotation that mirrors a
sentiment or a feeling that I'm having, instead of
something random. I'm also going to try to remember to put
the address or the source where I find it. Just in case
anyone wants to go read what I've been reading :)

Kiki had her first day of preschool today. We didn't make
it to her actual first day of school because of that
horrid flu we had, but we made it today. She was okay for
the most part. The room was the same, the toys were the
same, only difference was the teachers. I suppose that's a
huge difference really, but I think the familiar territory
helped ease her some. He new teachers said she didn't
attempt to say a thing to any of them and she wouldn't
even ask for things she obviously wanted (like juice or
crackers), but I assured them that she can talk. She's
simply choosing not to.

Gen and I did things a little different today and did
lunch instead of Starbucks. We still stopped in for our
coffee, but we went to Applebee's instead of sitting for
hours at Starbucks. I had the asiago chicken, which was
good. It fed my urge for real food, which is all I seem to
want these days. I don't want fast food like I used to. I
want REAL food. That isn't a bad thing at all though. I'm
not complaining.

Work was interesting. I showed up about 10 minutes late
because of the new on ramp traffic I encountered dropping
Gen and Cyrus off at home. No one cared that I was late.
It wasn't busy anyway, so it didn't matter. I worked with
one of the new girls today. I don't know her name. She
told it to me, but it went in one ear and out the other. I
should really attempt to remember names on occasion. Maybe
if one of them stays longer than 2 weeks I will. Anyhow,
she seems like a nice enough girl and she isn't shy at
all, which is good. We need people that aren't afraid to
ask people what they came in for.

I had to cut the lock off my locker today. Tiffany one of
the managers, went around and locked everyone's locker.
Only, the problem is I have a personal lock, not a company
issued lock, so the key to my locker was on my key chain,
which was in my purse, which was guess were??? In my
locker. So, I had to cut off my lock with a ginormous pair
of bolt cutters. It was kind of liberating in a way.
Cutting through that solid metal got rid of any stress or
aggression I might of had. I didn't have any at the time,
but it still felt good.

I have to get my black Soho Coach bag all cleaned up and
put in it's dust cover tonight, even thought that is the
bag I've been using the past week. Somehow Tamara pleaded
with me to let her take my purse to Florida with her this
weekend to her nationwide conference. I think it's kind of
funny that my purse gets to go to the conference, not
me :) I don't want to go. I just think it's comical. So,
I'll carry my reversible brown tote (or whichever one I
pull out of the closet) until she gets back. She's
promised to take good care of it and to give me any of the
free stuff she gets at the conference. So, it's a fair
deal. She already knows how much it cost, so I'm sure she
won't be losing it or damaging it. I trust her.

Okay. I'm really tired now. I'm so tired, I can't decide
if I want to take a shower now or if I want to wait until
tomorrow morning. I think I'll suck it up and take it
tonight. That way if I accidentally sleep in late in the
morning, I don't have to feel funky for it! Ciao and
goodnight.
