Things have calmed down considerably after my last post (which I realize is password protected, just email me for the password).

My manager is on vacation for the next two weeks, so some of the tension that was heavily sitting in the air has dissipated. Well, at least until she comes back. I don’t feel like I’ve gotten much accomplished in the week that she’s been gone. My task during her vacation was to unpack and push through the donations that were boxed up near the elevator. There were 5 stacks about 8/9 high each. We’ve unpacked 3.5 stacks. I have a double-sided cart full of DVDs. The two bookshelves up front are completely full of VHS donations. Of the two, the one that has been repackaged has all 6 shelves full. The 5-shelf unrepackaged is about 8 tapes from being full and I still have 2.5 stacks of donations to unload. On top of that are the 2 stacks of donation boxes in the garage plus the 5-10 stacks in the basement. It’s tedious work. And the processor is being really slow about everything under the sun. Go figure.

Emotionally, I’m a bit drained. I don’t know if it’s just that time of the year or if I’m feeling just out of it, but I’m just not caring as much about anything. It’s not as though that is terribly uncharacteristic of me, but it feels like it is when I’m trying to be there for people.

I know 23 doesn’t seem very old, but I feel like I’m behind at the game of Life. Two of my close friends are doing really well. One is getting her master’s and getting married and the other has a really good paying job doing something she loves. Whereas I’m single, not in school, and not doing what I love to do. I feel like there’s just something missing.

I had an idea about a novel the other day. It was based on a song and I have the rough edges still floating around in my head. It seems interesting to me. I want to read it…

The other novel thing I was working on has stalled. Again. I think it would be better as a short story. I don’t think I have what it takes to write a full-length novel.

Hell, I’d love to be a full-time writer and make money off of it.

My mind is seriously scrambled. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m constantly forgetful and I would rather just sleep all the time than actually get up and go to work or run the errands I need to run.

I think the Dell Mini 9 is awesome. I really want one. I can’t exactly justify it. Though it would be perfect to have for just popping on the internet to Twitter or post a blog. It has an SD memory card reader which is cool because both of my cameras use SD. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a optical drive, but I’m not to worried about that.

I might get it… maybe. Like as a Christmas present to myself. I’m still thinking about it.

Finally found Wii Fit. Haven’t done it yet. Haven’t felt emotionally or physically willing to try it out.

My Japanese Coach came out and while I would like to get it, I’m broke. I put some money back so I could pay for personal taxes this year and that has left me with zero funds. Which is par for the course. I haven’t touched My French Coach in awhile anyway.

Though I am going to splurge on December 2nd. Why, you ask?

Sometimes I wish I was rich so I could just take care of everything without having to worry about it. I’m just so meh lately.

I’m burning at the speed of light, that’s why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit
