My life over the past few weeks: work "real" job at the hospital..work on pictures...eat..sleep. Complete and repeat again. Continue repeating till insanity slowly creeps upon you. This has been my life. Really..even on my days off all I do is work on pictures. My apartment has gotten worse than I have ever seen it. Laundry and dirty dishes everywhere. Ridiculous. And my OCD nature of course kicks in and I feel like I am drowning even more with the mess surrounding me. Piles of laundry that Kaden carries everywhere..dinner here and there...mail everywhere. Sigh. So I stayed home tonight and started cleaning the mess that is my apartment. After 1 and half hour my kitchen is completed minus mopping. Tomorrow morning before I head home for Thanksgiving I will work on the living room. I am beginning to think I have the most boring life ever! I am still going to speed date..but it will be on December 6th. Although I am concerned because they combined two groups..and now it is possible that someone I will have to talk to will be old enough to be my father. Yes..good times. Creepy..creepy. I am starting to show signs of not sleeping..and no life...I fear that I see age spots under my eyes. Everyone else claims they can't see anything..perhaps they are fading freckles...all I know is that I have got to get it under control. I can't do this next year. In the spirit of Thanksgiving I suppose I will share some things for which I am grateful (and shake off ms. pessimism). I am thankful for: household cleaners (haha), wonderful friends, supportive family, God, life, freedom, ability to travel the world, photography, Kaden (I love my dog), a car that runs, a job that is bearable, healthy mental health (on most days) and a future that I must not lose sight of in the mundane tedious aspects of my everyday life (hmm...may have drifted back over to miss pessimism). Anyways, everyone should take a moment and be thankful for the things you have this year. (Now I just sound like a commercial). Peace out.. happy turkey day.
