snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (Kyo -- *EMO* (flamika))
Well, today was a "meh" kinda day. TPTB are getting anxious to get certain documents scanned but meanwhile, I have a backlog of charts I have to scan and index and I find it very hard to get to the loose stuff. So it's a bit frustrating and stressful and I'm still smarting from the bit of a blow I received yesterday. So I'm kinda feeling overworked, underpaid and under appreciated. Plus, with the holidays coming up, people are going on vacation, leaving us shorthanded. Christmas is supposed to be a joyous time, not chock full o' stress!

I'll think I'll go and emo in the other side of the room now...

This week has been... Okay. Some up and some downs. I can't really pinpoint it, exactly. Oh well.

About yesterday's post. I wasn't depressed or anything, just being somewhat anti-social. When I got home, I was just a mite irritable. Mom had a meeting at church, and I had to wait around until someone showed up because we always have to be early. Then, when I got home, I had to lug all her crap inside, as well as my own. Then, as soon as I came in the door, the attack began. My cats, who seemed to have thought they were wasting away, started laying into me, barely giving me a chance to set down all the stuff I lugged in. So, I was a bit cranky. Later on, mom and I got into a little dust-up over a misunderstanding (of course). I lost it and yelled at her, which is not something I tend to do. Things are fine now, but I guess it's just one of those things that tends to happen sometimes.

Dad said he thinks I may be showing some signs of Depression. While I appreciate his concern, it think it may be a little premature, if anything. I mean, I get into funks every now and then, but so do a lot of people. I mean, I've never had any suicidal tendencies or anything like that. I mean, I know people who have severe Depression and I know I don't have anything to that level. Besides, it's not as if I can afford to get therapy anyway.

This weekend is gonna be full again. Tomorrow I have errands to run, like getting a Baby Shower gift, a Secret Santa gift and perhaps some stamps. I also wanna do some window shopping at the mall perhaps. Then, we have a Christmas party to go to. Hopefully on Sunday afternoon, we can actually get our tree up before we have a Christmas play to attend.

We decorated our office area today. All of us have our own little area that we decorated and now it looks all festive. It's nice. I might take pictures.

Trivia of the day: It takes an average of 345 squirts to yield a gallon of milk from a cow's udder.

I had a bit of an angsty moment yesterday. Mostly about our living situation. I mean, time is limited and choices are scarce. I'm tired of living in limbo. Wondering if the next housing option will pan out. Wondering if the next employment option will pan out. It's a bit frustrating.

Anyway, I'm feeling a little better now. When I was at Bible Study yesterday, I came across a book that looked intriguing. I picked it up and started reading. It is very intriguing. It's called Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. It's about this guy, fresh fom college, who gives up everything to wander in the wilderness, to try and live off nature. Needless to say, he doesn't make it. I've only made it a few chapters in, but it has this magnetic pull. Even though you already know the outcome, you want to continue to read to find out why he'd do something like that. Me, if I ever did anything like that, I'd make 100% sure I knew exactly what I was getting into so I could be prepared for whatever circumstances may come up.

The road construction in front of the house is finished!! Finally!! Now, I no longer have to weave through a maze in order to get to the house.

Dad's planning on coming down toward the end of the month. My grandmother is moving back to Indiana and he's going to help her move her stuff. So he's gonna stop by so we can spend some time together. It'll be nice. I haven't seen him since the funeral, and even before that, it was a few years. At the moment, we're trying to hash out exactly what we're going to do.

I think I'm gonna go to the bookstore and see if I can see what's come in. I'm still on the prowl for RK 25... Hopefully it'll be in.

Trivia of the day: Richard Cadbury invented the first Valentine's Day candy box in the late 1800s.
