Gravity is not my friend.

And, yes, I was totally sober. Yes, hard to believe. I tripped up the stairs at work. And, yes, it hurts like a bitch.

Sigh.

good news!!

I'm going on staff at my job!!!! Boss came to me to offer full-time gig at a good salary with all benefits, etc. That I'd been doing a great job and everyone already thinks of me as one of the family.

I actually kinda clapped and grinned like an idiot. He was like, are you interested? And I was all "um, yeah" which might not have been greedy business savvy but I don't care. I'm ecstatic, seriously.

And I got a bonus!! Signed with a "thanks a million!". So nice.

Got a bit o' Christmas shopping done today (online, in PJs), yay! And to celebrate the job I bought a bed. Something grown-up and pretty. Iron bed from LL Bean, which seems weird but the bed is awesome.

Christmas party for work Friday was great fun. Got lots of hugs from people for coming on board. Got only mildly drunk, I'll take small favors.

Very odd situation with the boy I talked about last. No fucking idea what happened there. Or is happening? I have no idea. But I'm handling it like a big girl. Who's had lots of therapy.

Yay!!!! :)

It's just so nice to be happy. I'm very grateful.

Oh, yeah: birthday party for meeeeeee at my house! January 5, which a Saturday and my actual birthday. I'm prettying up the house for it. Make plans now! :)

monday, monday

Tired today. Busy weekend. Saturday I had my new HVAC put in. You know, like ALL of it. AC, furnace, ductwork, air filter, blah di dah. Three guys in my crawl space (dirty!) all day. But I have lovely lovely heat. Yes, it's 70 degrees. Whatever. It's there… when I need it. Damn global warming.

Oh, and it cost $6197. On a credit card. Yay!

Sunday Genie and I drove to Columbia for the day. To give Genie's car to my mom (long story, let's just sum up as free car begats free car). It was totally awesome of her and it was hugely appreciated (my mom's car has been half dead and running on, I dunno, mojo) but I was, of course, worried about it being weird between me/Genie or something. She's just a Very Good Girl.

Anyway, Columbia and back in a day is hard. I had fun, but I is all tired and shit. And I wanted to see Oprahbama but we couldn't quite swing that in the time alotted. Did see most of the fam, and it was fun.

My nephew, yesterday: "Aunt Sherri, you've gotten FAT." My sister was mortified, but I thought it was funny. I mean, it wasn't great to hear, but he's right. Heh. Sigh.

Not so busy yet here at work (which is why I have time to write) but probably a shit-soon-to-hit-the-fan sort of way. Nice to have a lull, even if short-lived. Maybe even nicer as usually so busy and thus even more appreciated.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Tired.

talk soon, xoxo, s
