How to prove you are getting old (or feel like it, anyway):

1.  Fall in the shower
2.  While waking husband up to get sympathy for falling in shower, get elbowed in nose. 
3.  Hit head on wall so hard you feel your brain bounce against the other side

You guyyyyys, it sucked so bad!!!  It is inexplicable to me that I actually managed to fall in the shower!  That one little thing managed to make me feel older than every gray hair on my head.  And it hurt!  It knocked my breath out a little, and all I could do in my stunned state was sit in the position I landed in, mentally testing all my connections, before telling myself I was okay.  Which I totally was, except for the hurtiness.   I think I will use it as an excuse for the lack of energy I have just now.  Seriously.  I’m not lazy, it’s brain trauma.

It rained all weekend, and we spent it organizing, and REorganizing, and then organizing AGAIN, and Kari and Angel will be amused to know that in my many boxes of crap I unearthed my journal from high school and ohhhhh teenage me was so very…teenagey.  For the record, I was a much different person back in the day.  One day I will transcribe one of my bitter and dark and not well written poems so you, too, can laugh.  We also spent a great deal of (well-deserved) time catching up on Lost, Heroes, and The Office, and started in on Jericho, and praise god for bit torrent, for it is heavenly.  Jericho…man.  It started out such a good show, and now…it’s so not.  But it IS a great excuse for planting my lazy ass on my super comfy couch, so.  On with the season, citizens of Jericho and your totally unbelievable reactions to EVERY situation that occurs!

We determined that we have approximately one more weekend’s worth of putting things in their correct spot, which includes the hanging of pictures and the big delivery run to the thrift store on base, and then we are free to do a little roamin.  Which…Okay.  Two minds on this one.  No, I don’t wish there was more to do around the house and yes, I’m excited about the roamin, but I must say…the weather is sort of really turning into a deterrent to my wanderlust.  Things just don’t look as pretty in the rain.  Things just aren’t as much fun when you are cold and damp.  However, I am absolutely determined to make the most of my (at least) three years here.  It’s just sort of hard to do while wanting to curl up in your favorite spot with the new Stephen King.  Or, when you have brain trauma.  I’m just sayin.

On a different note, work is going well.  It’s different than any other job I’ve had, and since it is Headquarters, a total change of atmosphere.  I’m sort of under a tad bit of pressure to learn everything RIGHT THIS SECOND wait I MEAN YESTERDAYYYYYYY because the person I am replacing found out Friday he is leaving a whole lot earlier than he thought (as in, he has less than a month) and the other guy is retiring in June.  And, nobody else is coming in.  How will I perform under such pressure?  Adequately, I suppose - but it will make for very infrequent work posts because actually having to do something at work other than socialize makes pretty boring fodder for blogs.  I mean, I have to act all responsible and be in charge of stuff: not exciting.  At least I have windows here.  That makes life so much more tolerable.

Now, it is time to study. 

Tschuss!!
