New Beginnings

Shit, did I spell 'beginnings' right? Does ever happen to you, when you're looking at a word on a screen (or, ya know, the old fashioned way, that paper stuff) and you're pretty sure it's spelled right, but it just doesn't look right? It can even be a simple 3 or 4 letter word. Like weird for instance :op

Well, I'm all moved in, and 80% done, just have to hang some pictures and get the kitchen table & chairs in here, and clean up my desk, it's the one thing I've been avoiding, stuff is just shit-piled on here. I love my new place!! It's a bit weird, just b/c I haven't spent a great deal of time living 'on my own,' just about 6 months in between breaking up with my ex and moving out here to Portland. It's nice though.... I'm one of those people who can spend time along and not get all freaky. I do know peole who can't spend one single minute alone, they always need someone around. I find it very relaxing, and as Type A as I am, I need to relax :op

I took the day off of work today, against my better judgment. My boss starts a trial today and we're super busy, but I just needed an extra day to just let all this sink in, and get everything done, since I'll be gone Wed - Fri this week dog/house sitting. I deserve a day off goddammit! :op I haven't taken a day off - vacation or sick day - since last December. I only think I've taken 1 or 2 sick days total in the 2 1/2 years I've been there. So, fuck it!! :o)

So, how do you guys like my new 'skin'? It's weird referring to it that way. For those of you who watched the old TV series "Roswell," that word is a little unnerving :op I've been contemplating doing this, making a change, for a while, and I've been working with Seven for a few weeks now getting it ready for show & tell. I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking for a change (although most of you already have cool 'skins' already!), he's awesome!!

So, I sit here, 9:30 on a Monday morning, taking the day off from work (Yeah, Baby!), sipping some coffee, and checking blogs, on the morning of what's to become yet another gorgeous, perfect Portland summer day (80 - 90 degrees, NO humidity, blue skies). I'm sure I'll be singing another tune tomorrow when I'm at work and busy as hell, but, for now, life is good!
