Looking forward to being bored
Aug. 22nd, 2014 07:22 amHello eljay, I feel self-indulgent for no reason. Going to ramble pointlessly.
My mom is 70.
Work seems happy with me and I'm happy with it, but neither is 100%.
I have a hearing coming up this week - exciting and humbling. This is the hearing that was cancelled when I was stuck in ATL for 3 days. I'm looking at how I thought I was ready for that hearing, and wondering why I thought I was. I wish I could call 3 more witnesses now. I'm lucky in the sense I got to review the same related testimony in my coworker's brief; also lucky I got to see her work, which is good and super fancy, but I feel more confident about my developed style after seeing 10 or more pages of consecutive paragraphs without headings. Sure I don't use a table of authorities, but who reads those?
I'm off work today, which actually means I'm monitoring email, do not have a gym day planned, and don't have political or house chores that need doing.
There are definitely delays in the house; the inspection that was to take place (last Tues?) as of yesterday would take place either yesterday or today, if that happens/ed. The main water line is untouched, the make-up underpinning undone, the joists where the stairs were are still extra-supported by some propped beams (extra supports are in the living room but not installed yet), and I still don't have the kitchen schematic I was promised. I did get a cute text/pic from my contractor showing my wood flooring in the back of his pickup truck; didn't have the heart to tell him not to text me pics due to cost on the gov phone plan (a rare exception should be fine, will inform him if it happens more).
Today...nothing. I have no plan. I'm waiting for coffee to wear off so I can go back to sleep. I'm scanning home depot, appliance connection, lowes, and sears for appliances - I may visit the sears outlet though it's not time to get appliances yet.
Waiting to have a move date. Going to take a bunch of leave from work when I do.
Went out last night with a beautiful friend again, laughing that I can talk about relationship issues with people are stunning and how disingenuous is seems.
