Rollercoaster

It's been a ride these last couple of days and I'm having trouble regulating my mood about everything.

Here's the UP ...

Bookclub.  It was nice.  Only 9 people.  Manageable, nice conversation.  Not as good as my VA bookclub (nothing can be), but way better than my last one.

Zeus.  Lots of applications.  Starting to settle in and settle down a bit.  He looks like a cartoon character.




Hubby's Job:  2 real possibilities in the works.

Podcast and Netflix.
Oprah's podcast -- Shawn Achor.  Such a great one!  Funny, inspirational.
Brene Brown's special on Netflix.  One of the best "talks" I've ever heard.
VEEP.  It's back!!

Workouts.  My home free-standing boxing bag came.  Have to fill it will sand - oh boy, it's going to be a lot of work.  Hopefully it's good!



Here's the DOWN:

Offer on the house.  Super low.  Interest, but we're always just missing.

Personal Space.  Not existent these last couple of days and I'm ticking and shaking in the corner.  Everyone is crowding me, asking of me, interrupting me (2 phone calls and 3 text messages since I started typing this).  UGH!!

Workouts:  My leg is hurting from running and long walking the dogs.  I might have to join a regular gym to get an elliptical option.  I need to problem solve, not wallow -- but wallowing seems nice today.

Zeus.  Hubby complains about him constantly.  It's exhausting me.  He wanted a housebroken foster and I found one.  Now he wants a less energetic dog.  Really?!?!

Furniture:  Pottery Barn made 2 mistakes in their system.  The one was they put a HOLD on everything.  The other is they "lost" the order for the mattress.  Partial order coming next week.  Other issue is in the hands of customer service.  TBC.

Overall MOOD:  It's in the crapper.  I need to turn it around.  When things get swirly, I leave my routine and then I can't function rationally.  (Just checked the date to see if this is PMS -- nope LOL.)



Space is so super-duper-massively important to my sanity.  Why do I need to fight so hard for it ALL THE TIME?  I want to be left alone in the worst way.

On that fun note, I need to get moving because I have a full day.  It's a relatively "fun" day, but I'm not feeling fun.  Movies with a friend and then neighborhood party.  Later gators.
