Coincidentally, life threw me another curve ball last week. It has to do with Himself and it has changed the landscape of our relationship forever. It's so big that I haven't wrapped my head around it and I can't bring myself to tell you about it yet.
I am still moving to Lincoln and I am still talking to Himself but a dream has been destroyed and things will never be the same.
In other news:
I gave my notice at the grocery store. My last day will be next Friday. I have to work at my full-time job on Saturday, so let this be notice to the world that on Sunday, June 28, I plan to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. If I hadn't stayed home sick ** on Tuesday and Wednesday, I would have worked 34 days in a row at one or both jobs, including the 90-hour week in Chicago. Oy. It's official - I am not a workaholic.
On Friday, my boss practically begged me to stay. He offered several things but no guarantee of money ("we'll try..."). It was great to hear the complimentary things he said about me and my work but it really only reaffirmed my conviction to move to Lincoln. Even the new state of affairs with Himself has not lessened Nebraska's pull.
** I called in "sick" on Tuesday, planning to take an unscheduled mental health day. By the end of the day, my throat was scratchy and I felt lousy. I called in on Wednesday, feeling genuinely puny. When Himself called that afternoon, he teased that that's what I get for playing hooky. I guess that'll teach me! (Or not...)
Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear that something big has come up and changed things. =(
ReplyDeleteWhat's the old joke - if you want to see God laugh, tell him your plans.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are thinking level-headed and that's half the battle.
Oh man,I'm sorry to hear things are not going to plan. And then getting REALLY sick on your mental health day. What a kick in the teeth, Violet.
ReplyDeleteGAH! Why are men so stupid?
ReplyDeleteMen really ARE stupid.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've been let down. I know how that is.....
Was sad to see that all Texas teams were washed out. Though, as an Aggie, I was not at all sad to see the Longhorns get their butts kicked.
