Sometimes I just don't understand

Why I go to work. I get up in the morning, have maybe 1/2 hour of computer time and the 1/2 hour of personal care time like showers and stuff. Next I go to work and stay there until 5. I normally don't make it home until almost 6. Then if I don't go to bed by 10:30, I feel so tired the next morning.

Maybe I spend 4 and a half hours a day awake and actually home and doing stuff. That doesn't seem right.

On the plus side, we had our Thanksgiving potluck at the office today. It was extremely yummy. One of the guys from South/Central America made enchiladas. I didn't have any ham, just the enchiladas. Best Thanksgiving food ever! :)

I really shouldn't post here so late...

My brain wants to go to sleep--it's almost like there's no point in even doing NaBloPoMo if I'm always posting sleepy.

Work should be fun tomorrow, we're having our Thanksgiving party! :) That'll be a nice break from everyday work. Today was quite busy, lots of going through files and checking up on old records. A lot of files had some important information (insurance-related) out of date, so it was good we checked. Otherwise, if something bad had happened, people wouldn't have been properly insured.

For your daily smile, go to Lol Cats - I Can Has Cheesburger? I keep remembering it and then forgetting it. But it makes me smile every time.

Do you see the NaBloPoMo kitteh in the sidebar? She's in your blog, reading your thoughts!

Attack of the Killer Headache

I'm going to bed now. This headache is pretty much awful.

I took 4 Advil but they're not helping. I don't even know why I stayed up so late. Oh, right, I was having computer problems and wanted to get them resolved. I still don't know if it's working but I'm too tired to care. :-(

What's wrong with this family?

So I was looking at random news online and this couple was arrested for drunk driving--each--in the same night. And their children were with them! The dad was arrested and the son (who was with him) had to call his mom for a lift. But she arrived (with the little sister) drunk too!

Very dangerous situation for those kids, obviously the parents don't care enough about them not to put their lives at extreme risk.

It also baffles me when I see people talking on cell phones while doing things like parallel parking or cutting around traffic. Maybe if you talk on it using bluetooth on a highway without construction and stuff--then you're not risking lives as badly, but sometimes it seems like it's almost as bad.

Squeaking in

While there's still an hour to go before midnight, I feel like I'm squeaking under the line with this post. It's been a really busy day. The bad news is that I didn't get to clean the house like I wanted to. The good news is that I got a lot of other things done.

I was going to try out Kasamba today. *sigh* Maybe I'll have time tomorrow or on Labor Day. Maybe I'll never have time. In that case, no biggie, it didn't take long to register for the account.

LOL, I just looked over at DH and he's always so nervous when I glance over onto his computer. He feels a lot of performance anxiety as a writer, and while he doesn't mind my seeing the finished product or even editing it he gets uptight if I look before that. Like he's just writing a blog post too, but I know he'll revise and revise it and only then let me look at it. Silly boy.

Um, I want to share a tip of the day. So, tips from today. Hmm.

If you want to get something done, go do it. Right now. No excuses. Comment later.

That sounds inconsistent after I just said that I hadn't gotten in Kasamba, but Kasamba wasn't my priority. I had some projects of my own to finish and I just did them. Even when I wanted to procrastinate.

Bipolar bouncy week

I've been bipolar all week. Ugh. But in retrospect it was a good week anyway. I got a chance to volunteer, I helped out a friend, I even earned a little money on the side. Plus I got a couple compliments from my boss.

Sure, I felt like crap for part of it, but if I came out ahead that's what matters.

This is so much better than before, we a bad day could throw me for a while week. Between the therapy and the Lexapro, even my bad days aren't too bad.

Tip of the day: If your day's been going really badly, try to find something you enjoy. Don't look for a thrill that'll bounce you up past a balanced point, but something you like to do. So make time for the cup of coffee or watch the Simpsons. One of the best things for me is watching a (truly) funny show or listening to a comedian. I have a CD of Ellen and one of Mitch Hedberg. So even if I'm doing dishes, I can be laughing and enjoying myself after a hard day. These are priceless.

A never-ending rotation of kittens

Speaking of good causes and volunteering, some friends of mine have found a way to have a never-ending supply of kittens. There's a pet adoption agency near them which fosters out their kittens for socialization. So they can give them back if they need to or if they're going on vacation, but if not they provide a good home and company until the kittens are adopted or go back to the shelter.

There's one near me which asks people to come into the shelter and just play with the kittens.

If you're thinking of doing some good this week, play with some kittens--it'll be great for you and for them! :)
