Here come the motha fuckin’ side effects…
Wow… I was on a roll with my entries and then I just dropped off the edge of the digital earth… not to fear… I’m back though. After a brief (albeit sooooo not over with) stint of work related stress, I’ve been able to calm down and get back to me. This past week has been absolutely hell at work and I’m doing more and more tasks that are not within the parameters of my job description. I suppose that’s what I get for being “too good” as some of the other Account Managers say - but still. I honestly feel as though I’m being taken advantage of now. In any case… hopefully it won’t continue on much longer. That is… if a new prospect works out; but, not going to dish that opportunity out until it shows some promise. Until then, I took tomorrow off to de-stress and just disconnect myself from work.
In other news, Yoga! Yes, I have started Yoga at LVAC. What a great way to calm the mind and body… all while increasing flexibility and balance. Doesn’t hurt that the instructor is absolutely adorable either. ;-) But I digress… it is, though, a totally fulfilling experience and I’m very glad I started it up. Justin has been raving about it so much that my curiosity just peaked and I had to do it. Speaking of the gym… have you seen my arms lately?! They’re getting huge! :)
Let’s see, what else has been going on… Jake got a speeding ticket… and by Jake, I mean me. LOL. A measly 70 in a 35… no big deal… but what ticked me off was that the cop also gave me a citation for not switching over my MD plates within 30 days. Now… if this were what was told to me by the DMV when I got my license, then I would accept that I was at fault and moved along; however, the DMV paperwork states that I have 60 days to switch over my registration - which I was still well within. In any case, I was planning to do so this past weekend and I did… still just ticks me off that I have to prove that I have it changed over when I shouldn’t have been cited for it in the first place. At least I got a nice fat refund check from my insurance company for overpaying my MD policy. :)
Hmm… what else… mostly just relaxing and taking it one day at a time. It’s so nice out here - sunshine every day; gorgeous weather. Cool quiet nights with no fire trucks and police sirens blaring by every hour. Great friends that I live with and meeting more and more every week. It’s amazing how friendly people are out here. Especially coming from the east coast where everyone is only concerned about the two feet in front of them, the too feet in back of them, and their wallet. I’ve met a lot of great people whom I’m very glad to have been befriended by. :)
Next stop - LA! Planning to head out there next weekend to visit Chris and Justin… perhaps Vartan if he’s around. :) Still have to figure out where I’ll stay, but I have a whole week to figure that out. Maybe Justin will let me crash on his couch. :-P
