I e-mailed my step-brother Mark a little while ago. I got a message back from him today. It was good to hear from him. As I get older, I realize the importance of staying in touch with those that you care for and love. I have always looked up to Mark, but over the years I have lost touch with him and don’t get to see him hardly at all.
Things are good with him it seems. He’s in the Airforce adn is currently stationed in Italy. His wife though, is state-side and so they will be apart for six months. I don’t know how people do that. I’m glad to hear that things are well with him though.
On the flipside of the e-mail coin is the fact that I spent four straight hours this morning returning e-mails from promotional message that was sent to our ten-thousand+ customer base last night. I’m not kidding when I say that I typed for four straight hours. It put me in a horrible mood. If my suggestion had been heeded to, and an online sign-up page had been made for this offer, my headache would have been a fraction of what it was. Oh well, at least I’m getting paid right?
It’s been raining here since Saturday. Now, I’m not complaining; not at all. Frankly, the change is nice. Even though I won’t be here this summer, St. George needs the rain and it could continue all week for all I care. This is surely the most rain I’ve seen here in a long time. The only thing that I have to complain about is that I have to walk in it to get to school.
:(
I really want to be done with school. Yeah, yeah, yeah…I know…patience is a virtue…so what!?!?! Every day that goes by I want to be settled even more. I’m sick of moving, I’m sick of the stress it causes. I want to get done with school and move on with life. Move on being me and get back to the things that I love, but don’t have time/money for (playing drums, riding bikes). Moreover, I want to have the time to teach my kids things and spend time with them. I say kids speaking stricly from the future perspective; I’m not announcing that we’re pregnant.
On another note, my friend Greg really seems to be doing so much better. We work out three days a week and I can say that I’ve really noticed a good amount of change in him since he got his new job and figured out what he wants to do in life. I’m happy for him and I know that he’s happy for himself.
I talked to my boss today about transitioning out of my job. I have to say, through all of the crap, I have been very happy over my past three years at InfoWest. I plan on continuing that relationship as I move onwards; at least in the customer/business respect.
I got my “acceptance letter” from Weber today. I’m happy about that. I know that I’ve been accepted (phone verification) but the letter is great. I’m nervous about finding housing. We put in our 30 day notice with our apartments today, we’ll be moving into the in-laws house soon. We need to start preparing for things to come. I’m very bummed to have to leave our house though, we’re very happy here. All I can say is that I can’t wait until things are settled and we’re able to buy our own home. Even if we could buy a home in Ogden (which we can’t), we wouldn’t. I don’t even want to think about the headaches of home-ownership whilst I am in school, let alone to try and sell the thing when I move to grad school. Needless to say, though I’ve settled in getting married, I’m already more than ready to settle into a residence; now is just not the time.
I gave the baby a bath tonight. She’s so cute. She loves to splash in the water and play with her two large rubber duckies. After that, mommy and I coached her in her attempts to crawl. She’s got the strength, just not the rhythm….yet. She’s an exteremly coordinated child (like her mother and father both) and will pick it up in no time.
Eyes are burning, going to bed now….big day tomorrow….zzzzzzzz
People say I’m a bit anal about the way I organize things. I tend to disagree. So what if I like the chairs at my desk a certain way? So what if I like the taskbar on my computer orgainzed in a specific manner? It helps me to keep track of where things are and what I’m supposed to be doing.
Today at work, I finally took the time to sit down and get all of my filing done. When I have my own practice, I will not be doing my own filing. That’s it. I hate filing. It feels good to get it done though.
Today during my lab, I was organizing the files on my computer and I was trying to figure out what to do with the video that I just took of Milaena so I watched it. It was so funny to be sitting in class watching my child play with her toys. I have to be honest when I say that it did make me a bit baby-hungry. However, there is no way that we’re going to have another child right now. It was a good feeling. Almost as good as it felt when I got everything organized. Okay, well…organization gets nowhere near being a parent….honestly….it’s the truth.
