I came across a perfect saying this past week; "How am I supposed to make big life decisions when I still have to sing the alphabet in my head to get to the right letter?" I came across this, as I was getting ready for work on Friday and I just had to stop and laugh out loud (of course, causing my dog to stop and look at me as if I'd officially lost it). The reason I felt as if this was perfectly appropriate for me is I feel as if I've been struggling with big life decisions lately and I'm just standing here singing the alphabet...
Last week I touched on the fact that I most likely made a HUGE mistake in looking at houses for sale in the town I grew up in (currently where all of my immediate family lives and is 3000 miles from where I currently reside). Even though my head has been questioning my sanity, I keep looking at photos/listings online. Part of me wonders if I keep going back to the house I fell in love with from photos is because of the excitement of possibilities or if I'm just waiting for it's to become someone else's dream house because they've bought it. Granted, from the photos and my general knowledge of it's location (I've never seen it in person but have fallen in love from possibilities of what I can see in the photos), this is my "dream witch's cottage/fairy house." Logically, I know I need to stop dreaming of it (yes, I've seen myself living there) since I probably can't realistically afford it based on the cost of living pay cut I'll have to take and I'm struggling with getting my hopes up of living there...
After starting my Friday with a good laugh over the ABC's, I had a major monkey wrench thrown into things at work. One of my staff was supposed to leave tomorrow on a week long travel but a question arose in terms of what their schedule looked like and them getting paid only for an 8 hour day. Once it went through several channels, it was determined that an hourly employee shouldn't be going and a salaried employee should be on travel - lo and behold, I'm the salaried employee who gets to leave on travel tomorrow. It's not that I'm against going, I just don't like it being dropped on me so last minute. As it set in that my boss wanted me to go, I immediately had to start figuring out what to do with my dogs; the lady who usually helps out in watching them is going out of town herself so she's unavailable. It helps to make an already frustrating situation even more frustrating.
I mean I guess I should look at it as my boss has such faith in me that I can just drop everything and go away on business for a week with less than one work day's notice but that's not necessarily how I view it. I saw Friday as drop everything, squeeze into the remainder of the day (other than an hour long meeting) five days worth of work, and try to learn everything I could about what the upcoming week has in store for me. I still have some holes in knowing what is happening starting tomorrow but I guess at this point it really does me no good to keep worrying about it. What's going to happen is going to happen and the rest is out of my hands. Yes, I can type that but it doesn't necessarily make me feel a whole lot better...
Well, on that note my dear readers, I think I'm going to bring this to a close, probably pack a suitcase and sing my ABC's... I hope you have a great week, dear readers! Thanks for joining me again along my journey! =)
