Regarding New Jobs

I'm enjoying it, I really am. I love working in an office again and I really like learning the new field. It's not nearly as bad as being a legal secretary, but, as a friend recently pointed out to me, more than likely what I really hated about that particular job was the attorneys I worked for. This new job is nice. I am learning a lot and the field is something that will help widen my job opportunities when I move somewhere else. It's a job that pays decently no matter where I go.

Things seem to be going well. I'm a lot more at peace than I was last year. It's a summer of cleaning out for me. Removing stressors of all types. It's not an easy thing to do for me since my stressors seem to come in the form of persons.

I'm going to be taking out a lot of stuff from the spare room of my apartment this week. (I have 2 days off!)

I think I'm just a little disoriented and disjointed and probably a lot of other dis's, but I just can't really think of the proper ones right now.

I'm going to go continue to be dis at work.

I have a headache.

I've had a headache for a few weeks now. It's rather frustrating. I'm hoping that I can get rid of it in the next few days, but I doubt it goes away.

Clearing out

I have a two bedroom apartment. I like it that way because it gives me extra space to store all my stuff. Right now, my second bedroom is very ineffecient. It's completely full of plastic storage boxes of all my craft and hobby supplies that I would like to use, and would use if I had the time or space. Unfortunately, time is something I have very little of. Without time, I cannot make the space. Without the space, I will not make the time, so which do I do first. Space or time?

I think I have chosen space. I'm going to stack all the supplies that I have stored in my room and ship them out to my mothers house to take up space in her barn, garage, {insert type of storage building here} so that I can get my room situated to be more pleasant. I like having the room, and my cat loves it, but I don't have the time to have all the extra stuff. At some point, I may be able to play with all my crafts, and hobbies again, but right now, it's source of frustration and it's not good for my mental health.

...Somewhat like many friendships.

For the Little Sister

I was recently reading the comment Nicole posted about me being a source of strenght for certain people. Sometimes that's what I need to hear and today was one of the days that I needed to hear that. Thank you Nicole!

/sigh I love coffee. I used to drink too much of it, so I can't really drink it any more. It is possible that it could be causing some of my headaches.

When I was working in an office before I would drink about 2 pots of coffee while I was at work every day and then another pot or so after I went home. Not good for me, I know, but it tasted very yummy.

I drank coffee all week last week and had a roaring headache all week, so I guess no coffee for the Elfe this week.

I've started a new job...

(waits for the cheers to stop)

No, that doesn't mean I'll be quitting the other one, but I'll have a better job and it won't be so hard to work two of them. I am working at a land title company. It's quite fun right now. I'm sure it will get more stressful later, but right now, I'm enjoying learning something new. It's also a great skill to have. I'll still be working at the flower shop for about 20 hours a week, but I may quit that in August.

The new job makes my life seem a lot easier at least. I'll be getting paid more, that's for sure. But no trips this summer. I had a couple of them I was thinking about taking, but I think having a nice job takes priority for the moment.

Pray good prayers for me and think good thoughts for me.
