To-do list. I’ve got one!

I hate when that happens. But I’ve been so busy and have so many things to do, well, my hand was forced.

Happily I just managed to cross off a couple things (and one that wasn’t even on the list – hey there WordPress upgrade). Let’s see, I gave Chris the money to deposit into the bank (delegating tasks – check!) and was then able to pay my tuition for the Fall semester’s class. Fees went up $6 a unit. I picked up the text book earlier in the week (along with Using Drupal, which I will tell you about later as I’m not sure which way that rant is gonna go). And I paid from my annual Artist Membership at Vox Sacramento! Wait, now I have to add to the to-do list: write post about the upcoming show and Artist’s Receiption (you are all invited) complete with the flyer!

Okay, what’s left… I still need to pick the prints for the Vox show. And once that decision has been made, buy the frames. Make a couple doctor appts. Routine check-ups so no worries. Figure out an excuse to reschedule next weeks dentist appt – again. Really, I don’t need to make excuses, the way my life has been going – something will come up! I need to sew the patch on my taekwondo uniform for tomorrow’s night Belt Test. Man, that’s not even on the list. I’m going to have to do a re-write. So yeah, busy.

I actually managed to blow the dust off my camera and take some pictures last weekend (it had been well over a month!), but who knows when I get around to uploading them to the computer. Oh so behind on photo editing.  The only things I’ve uploaded to flickr lately have been cellphone pics. And may I just state for the record – I love my new phone!  Anyways, I need to get back to it…  ‘it’ being all of the above and more. Call me. Someone needs to remind me to eat!

It’s the end of the world as we know it.

And I most certainly do NOT feel fine. I should be writing about my new Taekwondo classes. Or that Chris is out of town and I’m staying up too late each night, as is my way. Even going on about the wicked awesome lightning storm we had last night would be better than what I’ve got for you – which is a swift side-kick to the gut! Ok, maybe that is just how I took the news. You’ll be fine. Me? I’m not so sure. I found out yesterday morning (on a conference call!) that our new corporate overlords are closing down my office and eliminating my position. Fuck. I’ll work through July 1st and then it’s over. I’ll be unemployed. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around this. I’ve worked here for over 9 ½ years! Getting up in the morning and coming into the office is just what I do. Even with a migraine pending, routine takes over and I find myself sitting at my desk with a cup of coffee. The office is my “happy place”. I have (had -thank you very much) the best job in the world! People are lined up a mile long for my job. And it’s gone. Just like that. And I am depressed. And Chris isn’t here. And I just signed a 6 month contract w/Robinson’s Taekwondo 2 nights ago. And I’m sitting at my desk with a cup of coffee and I’m not ok. Not even a little bit.
