No list today. Maybe tomorrow.

I saw my shrink yesterday. Needed a refill. She said I looked tense. I said I don't sleep. She asked what was going on. I told her nothing. Nothing is going on. Nothing has changed. Same job. Same life. Same room. I shouldn't complain, its a better life than many. Some days I can't help but want something more. I wish I could figure out what that more was though. Maybe that more I really want is a good nights sleep and a week of sunny warm weather.

I hate working tired. When I am tired at work my boss asks me things like "Will you stay an extra hour today?" or "On Monday can you work til six?" and I will say stupid things like, "yeah, sure" before realizing that I just agreed to work from 7am until 6pm on Monday! That is 11hrs at work! What is the matter with me??? Oy, as in Vey.

there should be another list or two this weekend. I am just too tired right now.

G'night.

Twenty Six.

I am going to be twenty six. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that. Twenty Six years old. I have been asked the perennial question: What do you want. What do I want... What do I want? I want to not be twenty six. I want to not be single. I want to not be frusterated with my life, I want direction, I want more than this. However, I also realize how lucky I am to have a full time job, with a 401K and health insurance. So, its not quite enough to move out on my own but still, its more than many have. I also want a new watch. My favorite watch died over the weekend. At first I thought it was the battery but after I replaced the battery it still didnt work. I am very picky about my watches too. It had the date, indiglo, numbers 1-12 but not huge, I loved that watch. I also really thought that the way the character Melinda on Ghost Whisperer had her watches on was really cute but I don't have watches like that. I've been trying to find a picture of it but I can't seem to locate one. Oh well. Well, catch ya later.
