If I can't find the initiative, how can I take it?

I'm back at work after three days off. I don't know where to begin. I have stacks of things that were either here when I left, came back to me from where they went to get approvals and such, or are new. It's too early in the morning to choose what to do first so, logically, I decided to blog. I figure whatever gets my finger typing and my creative juices flowing is a good thing. I also have the entire office to myself today. This is good and bad. Good in that it's quiet and nothing new will be coming at me today but bad in that I can't feed off anyone else's energy.

My first step is to finish eating my bagel so I won't get cream cheese all over the files. Then, I will regroup, look at the piles, prioritize and try not to be overwhelmed. One thing at a time. You know those days where you have so much to do you don't even know where to begin? I'm in one only I'm still so tired I have yet to reach more than a dull "gosh I have a lot to do." I'm sure as soon as this bagel kicks in things could get crazy. My goal: To be inspired to get things done instead of sitting in a panic freaking out about the whole thing.

Ok, bagel is complete. Cross one thing off my To Do list. Off I go to tackle 150 more! Good luck in your endeavors as well.

I have now hit the post-lunch wall. I was on quite a roll this morning after I got my arse off the blog. But now that I have had a break, I'm ready to take a nap. Luckily (sort of) I have a hair appointment this afternoon so I can convince myself to work for an hour as much as possible, go get my hair cut, and then do another hour. We'll see how it goes. My eyes are closing as we speak.

Mycology*

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

TMI re: Nuvaring

Let's just state right up front that this post is going to contain too much information. It's about birth control, the prescription kind. Any modern straight gal must think about it unless they like playing russian roulette with their ovaries. (Thanks N for correcting my previously heterocentric sentence.) There is nothing fun about birth control except that you can kind of have sex without freaking out that you may get pregnant. Of course you may get pregnant anyway (joy! rapture!) simply because the gods are not smiling upon you and you are the one in 100 for whom the statistics suck. Pros of birth control: You are less likely to get pregnant. Sometimes your skin clears up. Less severe cramping. You have control of your own destiny, sort of. Cons of birth control: If you are on the pill you have to remember to take it every day. Sometimes, as in my case, it can make you think you are bipolar, even at a low dose. It's just a general pain in the rear end that makes you par...
