Fed Up

Isn't allergy season over yet? UGH I am so tired of feeling lousy. I will say this year has been far better than years past, and I'm thinking it's the lack of tonsils that have helped. Usually by this time I'm on a round of antibiotics because the tonsils had decided to get all nasty and infected. So yes, this year is better, but I want great! I get all excited for the weekends to roll around and I end up wasting a lot of it or unable to go outside and enjoy it.

Friday night was ruined, but that was my own lack of thinking. I got home from a great day of work and decided to partake in an adult beverage. A little bit later I was feeling miserable from itchy eyes and a snotty nose so I decided to pop a Benedryl. Now, back when I had my nice little rash the Benedryl did nothing...didn't really help with the rash and also didn't make me tired. Benedryl makes everyone tired! Yeah, it makes everyone tired if you have that and a beer. I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open sitting on the couch, so GuyRoommate recommended I go lay down and rest. He told me to go lay in his bedroom as we had a handyman working in mine to install a ceiling fan. I laid down around 6:30, and he woke me from a dead sleep at 9:00. I spent the next few hours wandering around dazed and confused. Saturday and Sunday, more sneezing, sore throat, itchy eyes.

Last night we decided to move our tomato plant off of the desk and hang it from a shepherd's hook in the backyard. I made it for a few minutes before the sneezing started. I could hardly walk straight I was sneezing so much. When we got back in the house the roommies were contemplating dinner, but I was off for a shower. Ugh...I want to be able to play outside and not have the snot running. Benedryl minus beer doesn't help, Zyrtec doesn't help, last time I tried Claratin it was no good.

Three's A Crowd

So the roommates want to go on vacation, and they've said that other people are welcome to go. GuyRoommate even said he thought it would be a good idea if I went, I've been pretty stressed about work, and a break would be a good thing. I just don't think I want to go. Wait, that's not exactly it...I do want to go on vacation, but there's a reason I don't want to go. If it's the two of them, then I'm the third. They've talked about inviting other people, but it's another couple, so I'd be number 5. Yet again, odd man out. Most times being single doesn't bother me, but at times like this is kind of does. GuyRoommate has said repeatedly it wouldn't bother them to have me there, I'm just a part of the group, not an extra, but I feel self-conscience about it. Sometimes if it's the 3 of us out to dinner the waitstaff asks how to divide up the check. "Oh, so it's you two together and you all alone, by yourself?" What makes it even worse, I don't even feel like I have a friend that I could invite. Booo!

Staying Connected

So my cousin and I were talking on the phone last night, and it's the first time we've talked since my Wii's been hooked up and online since I moved. We exchanged Wii codes, and then we also exchanged Mario Kart codes. After talking for awhile we got onto the topic of her new Blackberry and I gave her my PIN so we could chat on Blackberry Messenger. Then I got to thinking....we talk on the phone. We next each other. We can chat on AIM or Blackberry Messenger. We can play the Wii together and send messages there. We follow each other on Facebook and Twitter. Every now and then we email each other. Really!? At least if I can't get in touch with her it won't be for a lack of trying!

Soccer's tonight...I'm excited. Things are a lot more fun with another girl out there. My fat ass doesn't need to be dropping dead. I am trying to be more active other nights...BGF and I jogged together a little bit, but we don't' work well together. Going uphill we were ok, motivating one another (translation: didn't want to quit before the other one), but once we hit flat land it's awful. He has to slow himself down to an uncomfortable pace to meet my short strides and I'm pushing too hard to catch up to his long ones. Maybe GirlRoommate will want to go out with me. We don't have to jog, but having someone with you is nice. I did like jogging with BGF, it just seems our size difference is too much to overcome.

Slacker

I admit I've been totally slack about posting on here lately. I think the biggest reason is the lack of an internet connection. Since I moved my computer has not been connected to the internet. It's a 3 story home and our cable modem is downstairs in the basement and my pc is on the top floor in my bedroom. The pc I'm on now is hooked wirelessly to the router, but it's the only pc with a connection. That's not entirely true...my old work pc is connected, but it's my old work pc because the system board is going whacky and the machine keeps locking up. I have a new one at work, and my old one is going to be surplused once I get all the data off of it that I want to keep. In two weeks the house will be wired, so maybe I'll be better at my posting.

With all of that being said, you'd think I had something really exciting to tell you about. Nope...nothing special. Soccer's been a lot of fun. This season is going so much better for us than last season did...I think we're really coming together as a team. Work is work, whatever....um, that's kind of it.

Say Again?

After my soccer game I was in the shower listening to my shower radio when Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers "The Waiting" came on. My brain must not have been fully functional, because at one point I thought he was singing, "the way it is is the hardest part..." Um, Kim...the song is called "The Waiting", not "The Way It Is", hello! I think my made up line of lyrics did hit home though with the way things have been at work lately. It's just been one of those times where, it is what is is, suck it up and deal with it. And I just hate that that's the answer. Yes, change is a bitch and a lot of people don't like it (such as myself!!), and it's going to take some work, but it's for the greater good. In the end it will pay off. The pros will outweigh the cons. I don't understand why we just have to settle! Isn't that part of the problem with society? We're just letting assholes be assholes, we're settling for mediocre results. NO! Unacceptable. I will bitch my way to change. Or to getting fired, one of the two.

Walking At Lunch

I really like it when the weather's nicer. Here's the route I took on my lunchbreak today. It ended up being just a touch over 2.5 miles. I even saw the little brew pub in Boylan Heights, the Boylan Bridge Brew Pub. I hear it's a really nice place to sit and relax and drink a beer. Oo, tomorrow's looking like a nice day, too. I see another lunchtime walk in my future!
