The summer wind down

-
Well, July is quickly coming to a close and my mind is focused on preparing for fall. What am I going to wear?  I am dreading the winter. How will I restructure my days so I can be more productive?  What can I do to elevate myself in my career?  These are all of the thoughts that nag at me as we move into August.

Today I got an early start, but it was too early because by 10 AM I could barely keep my eyes open. I took a quick nap and now I am trying to plot out my day. I feel like I need a delicious deep foot massage to get my energy flowing. I also need to get my hair shampooed, deep conditioned, and styled. Finally I need a new bed. I hope I can accomplish all of this today.

I have also been looking for a new apartment, but it seems that the places online will need to be secured closer to the time I need to move and that isn't until October. I know what I want is comparable to what I have now (minus the plumbing issues and the noise from constant construction).

I might need to hijack my cat and take her to the vet. She has something like an abscess on her lower lip that isn't healing. I have been watching it but I think she's going to need to go. That will mean fighting her to get her into her carrier. Oh joy! It will also mean a vet bill. I really do not want that. Please oh please heal.

My ex is still fighting his cancer, but he isn't doing well. I hate that he is suffering but he is being such a trooper. He sent me two CDs of music. He kept asking and I finally relented and let him send it.

There is more on my mind, but the drilling noises are getting to me and I need to get out of the house now.

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
