Too... Much... Stuff...
posted on: 2006-12-10 at 1:30:00 AM
Very little energy... I'll just make out syllables and pieces if I try to make this elaborate, so here' goes...December has (so far) been a crazy month. Work has been extremely stressful. The desire for the Wii amongst most humans has been tangible (however, not much of a source of stress for me .. just an annoyance). I lost an employee, and then quickly gained one (strangely, they both are named "Travis"). And my tiny little store has no ability to store the constant influx of boxes of random things to sell. HIGH MARGIN things, mind you.
I worked so very hard for weeks during the month of November -- I was putting in 50+ hour weeks (which is a LOT for me) and I was tying up loose ends when I could. Come December, I have been falling apart. I have been relying on my staff, and so far, it has been working out -- but I know I need to swing in and give a lot more effort before I can rely on them to carry the store for a few weeks once the baby is born.
Re: Baby.. I am taking one week off -- and then (at least) four weeks on half-time vacation where I get to work 20+ hours per week. I'm excited!!
So today:
6:00am - Wake up -- I look outside and think I see a snowman (but it was only a dream .. weird)
7:30am - Get ready for baby classes (a very prominent fixture in my life as of late)
8:30am - Drive to the our new hospital: LEGACY EMANUEL.
9:00am - 12:00pm - Baby classes! Swaddling / Genitals / Molting skin!
12:20 - GET REAR-ENDED ON I-5 BY A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO JUST GOT OUT OF HER C-SAT's (it was just a fender-bender .. but it was also enough to hurt my neck! I promise I won't sue!). She was actually really cool about it, and her insurance company ended up calling me within the hour saying they'll take care of all the expenses.1:00pm - 5:00pm - More baby classes! I got to cuddle a baby and also "SHHHHHH" very loudly in his ear to calm him down! It was a DOLL, don't worry.
5:00pm - 5:45pm - Get ready for the 5th LP xmas party!! This one is on the Portland Spirit!
6:15pm - 10:00pm - I love the LP xmas parties!! Normally, we get to hang out in some building in Portland -- sitting at round tables. We get to mingle with our neighbors! NOPE, not this time! We're confined to these long-ass tables in the hull of a boat which makes it's circulations up and down the Willamette! Even when you're not giganta-suar preggo girl, it's tough to get up and catch up with random people! BOO HISS.
10:00pm - 1:00am - Holly and Dmitri throw a party at their house to celebrate the birthdays of Angie, Dmitri and Rose -- all friends who are turning 30 this month! HOT SHIT!! We enjoyed awesome fondue, played Guitar Hero II, and generally had an awesome time.
So yeah. ZZZZ...
