While I wrote earlier that today is going better than yesterday, I decided that I have to add that I'm finding it ridiculously difficult to get any work done. I'm sitting at work more or less staring at screen wondering what I should/have to do next. It doesn't really help that I'm on top of all the work that's come in and have already gotten 99.9 percent of my work done. Looking around my cubicle, all I can really see that needs done is that my desk should be wiped down. But I really don't feel like it.
Dave's packed my lunch for the past couple of days, and after eating I start feeling really sleepy shortly thereafter. I wish I could unfold a sleeping bag under my desk and take a nap (I type, yawning).
I probably shouldn't be admitting this, but what often fills my day is random thoughts. I mean, right now I'm staring at my water bottle wondering how many ounces are in a gallon. Do you know? (Looking on google.com to find out) 128 fl. oz. are in a gallon. So... I have a 32 fl. oz. water bottle and I drink at least two a day. No wonder another portion of my day is filled with trips to the ladies room!
But with that said, it's time to fill my water bottle back up for the third time today, haha.

DAY 101, Post 1
I love my new job. LOVE it. But the hours between 2 and 4pm seem to drag unmercilessly. And even worse are the days (like today) when I have eaten a big lunch and my eyes just want to keep crossing. Today the Mountain Dew and coffee don't seem to be helping either. So... I blog.
Yes, I know I shouldn't be doing this from work, but I have a dilemma as far as work is concerned. I'm GREAT at my job. And I'm quick to get my work done, which leaves me with a void in my To-Do pile. Currently I have work to do, however I'm waiting for responses from my co-workers before I can continue on any of it. And I've already cleaned my desk, including spraying it with cleaner, and my e-mail inbox. And I've started on a Power Point presentation for the weekly Monday Morning meeting, even though my pre-decessors didn't normally work on it until Friday. But, yes... I get satisfaction out of surprising people with the news that my work is already finished... Correctly... And ahead of schedule.
Yesterday Dave and I bought a grill and last night he made DELICIOUS beef ribs for dinner. I've never had beef ribs before, and even Mr. Picky Eater Thing 2 loved them! I have to say however, that I had absolutely no clue how much buying a Propane tank cost! Speedway charged over $50 for the tank (because we needed to buy a new tank, not just exchange an empty for a filled), but on a positive note, they give 1000 speedway points with a tank purchase. Now if I only knew how to cash in Speedway points... Hmmm...
Tonight is the first of our two much appreciated (regular) nights off from the boys of the week. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my boys. However, the quiet in the house for those two nights is... Welcomed with open arms... And I will say that I know I like it even more because I know their dad won't be calling to talk to them, even though he already saw them earlier in the day. Perhaps I'll come across as uncaring, but on the nights when he has them, I try to give him HIS time with them without interuptions from me. But he doesn't look at it that way. And I feel he intrudes on my time with the boys. And unfortunately for the boys (and him I guess), they don't want to talk to him when he calls. But he gives attitude to me and them if they don't talk to him, so I am forced to give them no option but to talk to him. And that sucks.
Alright.. Back to work.

DAY 31, Post 3
I'm doing pretty well tackling my to-do list, although right now I'm at the doctors office waiting to be seen. So far I've done all the dishes, cleaned out my car, cleaned and vacuumed my room, cleaned my bathroom (with the exception of the toilet), cleaned the half-bath (again, with the exception of the toilet), and done a ton of laundry. I've also hung most of the pictures, but I found a couple more I want to put up.
My to-do list doesn't seem to be distracting me very well though. I'm still thinking way too much. And although I appreciate all of the birthday wishes I've received, I'm sorry that I haven't responded to one of them personally yet. I'd rather just think of today as any other day where I don't have to work. I don't feel like thinking about it being by birthday. It's just not a happy day for me...
DAY 31, Post 2
DEEP Sigh... So it's the day. But I've decided to give myself a to-do list to keep myself occupied. The first task is/was cleaning up my living room, and I've been watching reruns of The Office. Wouldn't you know, one of my favorite openers was on the episode I turned on...
I can't get the YouTube blogger share feature to work properly, but click here to see the clip I'm talking about. I would be the one to sit there waiting for the colorful cube to hit the corner.
Anyway, here's my To-Do List for the day...
