Maybe it's February, but it seems like people are testy, and not just on Ravelry. I think I'll spend more time hiding out in that strange place called the real world for a while. At least we are coming out of what has been the most obnoxious Retrograde Mercury I can remember in a long time.
God knows I'm testy too - I am sick of all the things I'm dealing with these days, and this afternoon's helpful email from the state employment office just made my frigging day. Job Training! Yes, did I know that they offered lots of wonderful job training opportunities to help me find a new career? They can teach me to use a computer, and help me explore the Internet, and everything! Very Heavy Sigh. Do I need to point out to them that they sent me this invitation to learn to use a computer via email? Yet these people are gonna find me a job?
Bess did give me an inspiration to shake myself out of my deep, dark mood. I think I shall go to the beach for an afternoon. A chair, a book, my camera, my iPod, and a cooler of Diet Coke, and the ocean. Yeah, I need to check the weather report and plan a mental health day. Until th weather cooperates I shall fill boxes.
Though as the weeks wear on, the amount of stuff I really want to move gets smaller and smaller. If this keeps up, I may be putting the critters and my cameras and the MacBook in Baby and driving off.
Back when I have something to say....
I'm actually relieved to have you type that. It suggests that I haven't just become a total bitch, but that everyone else really is insane.
ReplyDeleteOr at the very least, if I am a total bitch, I'm in very good company.
:D
Ooooo Beach Babe gal. I'm sure it's more of the universe telling you that Florida is not for you.
ReplyDeleteCome to the nawth, sugah, come.
Oh Catherine, that unemployment office email is the pits. For God's sake.
ReplyDeleteI hope your beach day was refreshing.
I hope you get to make the big move soon. Have you planted St. Joseph yet?
Oh No You Don't, Young Lady!
ReplyDeleteNobody is posting hardly anything and everybody's crabby and we're all in the same damn boat. I'm even sick of looking at stupid ass pictures of coyote pups. And you have the unmitigated gall to say you're getting out of here? I get to go first. I'm older. Age before beauty.
I'm thinking Italy. Crazy Aunt Purl is the third Italy reference in a month for me. Let's go.
boy am I glad to know there is a reason I am so cranky - along with the rest of the world :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was thinking, Laurie hops a plane to Italy, while I'd be excited with a day at the beach an hour away.
ReplyDeleteItaly would be good. If I had a job to pay for it.
