It’s Been Awhile…

I’m not exactly sure what happened, but somehow I managed to let quite a while go by without posting. How sad.

I’ve been doing my usual thing, as well as trying to fight off whatever sickness has decided to plague me recently. I’m fairly sure it is/was bronchitis, but now it’s less the mucus in my chest and an annoying occasional dry cough with a painful throat. Regardless of what my symptoms are, it’s been sitting around for 2+ weeks and I’m SO over it. Did I mention that it kind of robbed me of my voice for several days? Yeah, when you work where you have to talk for 85% of your job, it kind of sucks.

In the meantime, I’ve been watching Dexter. I have to say, I’m kind of in love. There’s nothing like watching a show on fictional serial killers and watching the results of their crimes come to light and even watching them occur… If you didn’t know already, I have a morbid interest in serial killers. However, the more violent & gruesome, the better! I’m more interested in Ed Gein than I am Ted Bundy. Strangulation? Meh… Mutilated corpses left around with some cannibalism and necrophilia? Oh yeah, bring it on! Yup. This is me. My parents are slightly disturbed, too.

Other than that, I’ve been spending time on Veracity, trying to keep some drama llamas at bay. They’re the type of people who might not be trolling on purpose (so they’ve said), but they just don’t accept that not everyone is interested in hearing the way they like to present themselves. I find them more obnoxious on a nit-picky level since they don’t like to capitalize anything or use decent sentence structure, grammar or spelling. Instead of being overtly obnoxious now, they’re cut it back, thankfully. It doesn’t mean people still don’t like them and wish they’d go back to where they came from, but if they’re playing nice, that’s fine with me.

And now, since it’s overdue and I’m PMSy and need a little more of this right now…

  1. Watching the husband get all excited about his adult soccer league.
  2. Gunny laying on me while I lay in bed.
  3. Learning I was going to get training time at work.
  4. Getting a full night’s sleep without coughing.
  5. More free porn!1
  6. Getting compliments from coworkers.
  7. The husband spooning me in bed.
  1. I kind of have a collection going but I haven’t watched any of it… ↩

Lucky Number 7

Today hasn’t been a very successful day for me. I hurt a couple of really good friends over something SO not worth it. I had an argument with the husband. I couldn’t talk very well at work 1. Not to mention all the various little things I keep messing up here and there, like my constant spelling & grammar errors, and closing windows I didn’t mean to close. Considering the few bad things I’ve done, I’ll take this as karma kicking my ass. I deserve it, after all.

Thankfully I’ve seen some good out of the negative. I noticed Ashley over at neoncinema.org do this, and I figure I’d go ahead and do something similar :) As a way to improve my happiness, I’ll post things that made me smile and reflect on something other than what brings me down 2. Tuesdays are my Fridays from work, so I’ll take to it then :) Let’s start today, shall we? Well, it’s technically Wednesday now, but only by a few minutes! 7 things, one for at least every day of the week. More if it’s a real good week!

  1. Knowing I have friends who are willing to stand by me and see me improve as a person, even though I’ve hurt them.
  2. Catching up with my good work friend, Yesenia after her two weeks away with her new fiancé!
  3. Hearing Gunny purr the moment she looks at me.
  4. Getting news from my BFF that her baby daddy is now officially her boyfriend.
  5. Receiving news that I have no cavities after almost 3 years since the last time I saw a dentist.
  6. Opening and seeing Veracity thrive in just a few short days it’s been active! We did good, Angel, Jenn & Kristen!
  7. Feeling better after a good ending to an argument with the husband.

The big things can throw us off and make us think nothing is going right, not to mention it makes it harder to see the smaller things that matter and can make us just as happy… So, I’ll point out some good things weekly for as long as I remember to keep it up. Hopefully you’ll be able to do something as equally as beneficial for yourself! Here’s to a better year than the last!

  1. If I can’t talk, I pretty much can’t work. ↩
  2. Even if it is of my own doing. ↩
