Maybe I Was Ready For It

****

I'm a little wound up because I just got home from work,
which sucks, because now it's time to wind down and go to
sleep. 4:30pm, this afternoon, when I was supposed to be
getting ready for work, I was whining and complaining
because I was tired and didn't want to go. I wanted to
sleep. Now, It's just the opposite. Why am I so backwards
sometimes? I think I'll take a warm bath and read my book
for awhile until I'm ready to sleep. Snookums is already
passed out and if I go in there now I'll just wake him up
and make him cranky. It's only 10:15pm, but it might as
well be 3am to him. He acts like an old man at times.

My day wasn't a bad one. I felt highly UNmotivated, which
was sad. The house could have used a clean-up, but I
wasn't feeling it today. I took Annie to school, Kiki to
therapy and that seemed to take a lot out of me. I sat
around most of the day thinking I should take a nap, but I
never did. Mostly because Kiki wouldn't. I can't sleep if
she isn't, that's just asking for trouble.

We finally got new neighbors. They're a young couple (like
we aren't) from South Carolina. I didn't see any children
with them, but these are 3 bedroom units, so they must
have children. You don't just get a 3 bedroom unless you
qualify for it. We actually qualify for a 4 bedroom now,
but there's no way in hell I'm moving again. Anyway, I
took one look at them and my first instinct was that I
didn't like them and I'll have nothing to do with them.
Aside from maybe running into them in the carport and
MAYBE holding a polite, but brief conversation, I won't be
doing any of those neighborly things like baking cookies
or offering to help unpack. Whatever. Do it your damn
self.

I worked a 5-9 shift today. My only one this week. I don't
work again until next Thursday. I'm liking my free time
very much. I like being able to do (or not do) what I want
(or don't want) when ever the mood strikes me. I bitched
and moaned about having to work tonight, but it ended up
being fun. So, I'm adjusting to my new life just fine. It
hasn't been as scary a transition as I feared it would be.
Or maybe I was ready for it. I don't know. It was a very
quiet night and there were 6 of us working. So, there was
nothing to do. We basically just stood around and chatted.
It was more social than work for me. I did a little
shopping, but nothing spectacular. I haven't bought myself
anything from work in a long time. New PINK sweats and t-
shirt and some PINK panties, because they have become my
favorite. We got a free Beauty Rush Body item as a gratis
and there's a new fragrance (Candy, Baby) which I think is
light, but sweet and kind of nice. So, that's all really.

I think I'll go take that bath now. I'm transitioning from
worked up to restless, which will soon lead to irritation
and that's never a good thing. For me or Snookums. Ciao.
