Do you ever get the feeling that you don't really matter to anyone? We all have people around us who ask us about our day or how we're feeling. But I'm talking about the ones who really want to know. It seems that lately life is so busy for everyone, they're doing their own thing(s) and what they have going on consumes them, their time. I suppose its society as a whole who has eased us into that way of thinking.
I miss front porches. I miss neighborly chitchat. and it got me thinking about my life in Ohio, how that front porch of that old house appealed to me. Many evenings we'd sit on the porch, watch the kids play, yap at the neighbors. Other than the man next door, and the woman across the street, I know more of the dogs' names than I do humans! Howard the dog is across the street, Gracie is behind me .... see what I mean?
Changes are a part of life, several seem to be coming my way. I've been seriously contemplating changing my job position at work. After a bad peer review, I was totally dreading this in-depth audit that occurred today. While she asked some questions, and went through all the paperwork, her parting words to me were "Looks good, you run a tight ship." and for me, that's pretty high praise, because I don't go with flowery phrases... that's the best kind of praise for me! Another change that will be soon is having my son move out -- good for him, but definitely a change for me as well. :)
On the other hand, today was Weigh In Weds, and I didn't even go to the gym. I knew it would be a very stressful day; I worked an hour over tues night, then went in at 5am .... I'm so sick of looking at my workspace. I'm totally batty, and went straight to bed when I got home - nearly 2 hour nap, still have a headache from it, and am sucking down water like crazy as it was 105 today.... summer seems to have arrived!
Here's to a great weekend coming up! :)
