I did that on Sunday night. And then I had a job interview and got a job on Monday. And then I worried about the effect it would have on my "routine" (i.e. if, when the library notifies me, I would have enough time to get there to pick up Shadowfever and read it in one [or two] long, luxurious sittings. Sigh.
The heat wave here in the midwest is killing me (softly with his song). Heat index of up to 109 today (that's about 42C for those abroad). Yeah, so I started work today out in that heat. Miscommunication meant I missed the team, basically was briefed by the hardcore manager (I wanted the lax college ones but oh well, this guy takes care), and then was told to just go out and practice in my neighborhood. I did back into Marshal's area and it took me like 50 min and by the end...the sweat...it was horrible. Went home to the AC and just plopped on the couch for three hours until Ben got here. Dreaded going out again cus my manager called and asked how it was and I knew I couldn't just give up, so I went out again for another 45 min and just drenched and made no sales and came home. Somehow I scraped myself together to get to zumba. I basically didn't stop drinking water cus I didn't want to have a heat stroke/exhaustion. I made it through zumba with more sweat and the AC in the car lasted about two minutes and then it was like a sauna and I powered home to take one cold ass shower. Youtubes videos and Ben stealing my computer since.
Yesterday was all about Harry Potter. Watched part 1 in the afternoon around doing laundry and other chores and then went to see it with Devin, who sobbed softly through the latter half as I nudged tissues at her and tried not to laugh. I also brought like a third of a bag of fruit loops and ate the sugary dust at the bottom like some people take drugs--lick finger and stick into dust and eat. Lol. Anyway, Blah blah, end of my childhood. Thoroughly underwhelmed and thinking back, the books were fun to read but never really made a lasting impact on me. Laughed out loud at Ron as a parent/adult. Saw familarity in him though, which was...comforting.
I was really, really happy Monday. I think once the heat dies down and I change neighborhoods it will be better (and once I figure out a routine...I don't care how OCD people think I am, I just FUNCTION better with a set plan that is somewhat regulated. But, if I'm not making progress by the end of the first week or week and a half, I might quit because there's no point going out nearly every day in heat, etc. to not make money. Especially when I could be spending the day in AC, sitting on the couch, reading and being relatively happy with my situation. And perhaps working towards the future.
