Eg, the most interesting story of today, is that I, being the master of coordination I am, managed to shut the tip of my finger in the freezer at work while grabbing a lean cuisine - again, evidence that "healthy" food is actually bad for you - and 9 hours later it still hurts. Yup, that's the big news of Courtney's day. I hope you were sitting down.
The other thing stopping me from blogging regularly recently has been work. Most of my life really does revolve around work, which is kind of scary! I'm far from a workaholic but I'm usually thinking about it or spending most of my day. It also has a huge effect on my mood, which has also stopped me blogging a bit, because I've been exhausted from adjusting to the new job and my new role as a manager. I never ever saw myself in a management role as I barely handle managing myself, let alone others. I just never thought I had the personality for it. I think after 6 weeks of it though, I'm beginning to do okay, and I'm realising that I'm more suited to it than I thought. (Still lots to learn and improve though.) It's the first week I'm not coming home exhausted and confused, which means I have a clearer head to blog.
I can furnish you with a general update on how things are rolling along though.
- The search for a new hairdresser has taken a positive turn. I had a reasonably good experience on Friday. Sure I had to re-trim my fringe, and I didn't love the girl like I've loved other hairdressers, but the colour's nice and it was half the price of my last appointment and is downstairs of my building so terribly convenient. I also got through another appointment without asking the hairdresser to chop my hair off so go me.
- We didn't see The Phantom Menace as planned, but I did see A Few Best Men for a charity screening so I've seen a movie each month as planned. Don't know if I'll get to one in March though. A Few Best Men was reasonably terrible but thankfully not as horrible as I thought it may have been.
- I still don't own a Rubik's Cube.I'll get to that later in the year.
- Ah that whole eating healthy and exercising thing... can you hear the sound of it crashing and burning in the distance? Yeah it did. A combination of my laziness and the way I felt with the job change, eager for comfort food and too tired to exercise. Now I'm sane again, we're trying again. Plus it's 5 and a half weeks to the trip, and I just want to be a bit fitter so I'm starting again. Sort of.
- My finger really hurts
- I had a moment tonight when I just realised how lucky I am and how happy I am to have made some great friends over the internet. It's really amazing to realise you have friends around the world and can share in their experiences, and laugh and enjoy stuff together etc. Playing Draw Something on my phone with a group of my friends is just highlighting that, playing silly games across the world is a great experience.
- I'm stressing about budgets for the holiday at the moment, it's obsessive. I'm worrying so much. Especially as I'm a bit worried my leave is going to get mucked around as I transfer officially between jobs. Of course I'm not actually worried that we won't be eating, I'm worried about our shopping budget, so it's something shallow that's stopping me sleeping! (I have my eye on a range of Marc Jacobs and Kate Spade handbags...)
Have a great rest of your day and/or a fabulous Thursday depending on when you read this.
