shaking off the dank ickiness of the prior evening

The sun came out, and everything was clear and bright. I felt better after waking up.

Quickly got dressed and headed out, to run errands. It felt good to make a list and then fulfill it.

Felt a sense of accomplishment and lightness. I felt good. Went home to find y skittering and darting about feverishly, looking as if high on something.

After finishing up cooking some food, y disappeared into their room. I put the groceries away with x and x went to wash the dog from her walk. I seasoned and readied the meats for the upcoming week and put them in their appropriate containers, and into the refrigerator.

I went to rest afterward, wrapped up with the dog, who was apparently finished with taking her bath and ready to nap.

Had a hearty late breakfast and now am starting to feel hungry. Dinnertime's coming. :-)

Keeping things hidden

The battle begins as far as how much I should say and not say. I watch as I see people spinning out of control with their frustrations. I know that a lot of them have worked together for a long time. I can't honestly say that I'll be there forever -- can I be content working there for, say, a decade or until retirement? I honestly can't say that. I believe in taking things one day at a time. I am not interested in getting involved in being frustrated on someone not coming through in a timely manner.

I'm on borrowed time. This money is to go to what I want to do -- pay off my debt, stabilize my credit, take some classes and save for my real creative pursuits. I just have to stay focused, and not allow the drama to suck me in.

I just remembered I have to do something, on my creative side!
