Slamming into the wall (updated)

-
This week was one of those weeks where I worked on overdrive until I run out of gas. Yet I don't know I have run out until I come to a  complete stop. That is what happened today when my plans were to get up and take care of errands. My body on the other hand said Hell No! I have yet to get up today. I have run around all week, working late, writing reports, in meetings, and doing my typical day to day grind. I did receive some good news. My second (out of five) evaluations was rated highly. The first one which was 3.44 out of 4.00 (Note: I just looked up the new score and it was also a 3.44.  also noticed that my next one will be an informal so I only have two more for the year! Whoot!). That is encouraging because after just barely getting an overall score of 3.06 last year I felt like all of my hard work was in vain. I stayed until 7:45 - a full 12 hours - on Thursday entering my reports. I was back at work 12 hours later and ran from the time I arrived until I left at dusk. But I am in a good place now and can focus on moving and the upcoming holidays. I am actually getting really excited about the holidays this year! I will be in my new apartment and I want to go all out! Since I will be a bigger space I want people to visit me and will invest in a few more pieces of furniture once my bills are paid down. Well, I feel yet another nap coming on so until next time.

    Thanks. I am comparing my scores from last year and I actually had a higher score last year but I think I will have a better score overall this year because I have two solid scores at the beginning of the year so unless I really mess up in the next cycle any score lower than a 2.44 will get tossed out and not be counted.

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.
