Musings

Well, I know I have tried to get back into the habit of blogging, but I just really haven't been able to do it.  Facebook has really just sapped up all of my quick, snarky thoughts, and when it is so easy to post, I just don't have the use for complete thoughts/blogging.

However, I have the itch, and we'll see how long it lasts.  A lot has changed since I last posted...  I lost my job, I was unemployed for 7 months, and I am gainfully employed again.  I've been elected and re-elected President of the Indy Pride Board.  I endured a very temultuous year as President, where I know I didn't handle things as well as I could have.  I've gained friends, lost friends, and continued to be just me.  I'm still single, and I am not  upset about that.  I know I have no one to blame but myself for that, but I am pretty happy being single.  It is nice to have someone to sleep with (and I mean really sleep), but I sleep just fine without, too.

I think that is as much of a catch-up as you need.  If there is anyone still out there.   Anybody? Anybody?  And just so we're square, I am still a Democrat, and I'm about to get medieval on Mitt Romney...

Heat Wave

2011 has been a year of extreme weather.   From the super cold and major ice storms of winter to the first time in my recollection we've had a severe heat warning this week.   I'm sure this is going to kill my electric bill, but I am definitely a creature of air conditioning.   I've taken to setting it down to 68 at night because I simply cannot sleep if I'm hot.   I actually don't even sleep with blankets in the winter, if that gives you any idea how ridiculous I am.

Anyway, yesterday was pretty uneventful, which was good since I didn't really sleep the night prior.   Work has been kind of slow lately, but I am pretty sure the next few months are going to be crazy.  So, I am enjoying it while I can.   We did have a fire alarm in the shelter yesterday, and I'm happy to say it is the first time someone has pulled a fire alarm in my 6 years here.  Of course, since it was the first time, I had no idea what to do.   Yeah, fun...

Other than that, I went home and  plopped on the couch, and I really didn't get back up off of it.   I should have gone to the gym, but I am still pretty sore for the first few days of my new workout.  Which meant I successfully talked myself into taking a "rest" day.   We'll see if do that today, too!

I finished Tina Fey's BossyPants, which I cannot recommend highly enough.   I really laughed through all of it, and it is a very good, quick read.

I also got a text out of the blue from a blast from the recent past...    I don't know if that means he wants to rekindle or what, but who knows :-)

The goal today is to not melt.   God, I miss my old office where the AC was set to 68 because the network server was in my office.  *sigh*
