Feels Like I'm Waging A War

I wish you lived next door to me!
I don't know if I should be nervous or not, but getting caught up..and everything you wrote made perfect sense to me.
Glad I'm not alone with the dueling brain thing!.
I love reading you.
Have a safe trip!
Hugs if ya want or need em!
 
@ladee Thanks for the hugs! :)
I'm moving, so it's involved packing. I can pack for a trip in like 5 minutes lol. Actually tested that out one morning. I was in NYC with a friend, we had a horrible experience one night, which led us to a not great day, bickering with each other, we went and explored the city on our own for a bit, she got back to the hotel at some point, but at 5 am woke me up screaming at me that I was a horrible friend for falling asleep and not checking on her. Out of a sound sleep, to being confused, to yelling back to packing all my stuff and walking to the train station to just leave, was maybe 10 minutes.
You're not at ALL alone with the dueling brain. The only relief I get is sleep! Which immabout to do :)
Hugs back! :) Wish we were neighbors! :) :) :)
 
Lol,reading through this, so I can remember, wow, a week ago, I was freaking out! And now I'm like, ok. today. get to bank and 711 first. COFFEE. Interview. Kill it. They're gonna love you Bananie, it's hard not to. Off to training. Also doing well there already. You know WHAT you're doing, now it's about speed.
can it get me, over her quickly, 0-60, can it outrun her memory?
lol
Also reading through brought back a moment with t last week. He asked a question, I spewed things out for like 2 minutes, sat in silence for a moment while he was typing, and then said "did I answer ANY question?" He laughed then said yeah, I think I can pick some things out lol.
I'm resentful that I have to wear boots with heels today. I don't know why, they're not bad. But I'm used to sneaks.
poor pookie. I need to get her treats. Moving will not be easy on her. Oh what am I talking about, she's made it through....9 with me. We'll both be fine.
Well alright. I'm already on the schedule at the new job, on overnights. I haven't done an overnight in.... 10 years.
oh well. I wanted it!
ok. Ok. Ok. Everything is O. K.
okey silly dilly dokey oh, I'm an idiot.
Nah, I'm not.
I have been stagnant for way too long, this shake up is perfect. I need to get away from routine.
I don't think packing will be hard, I think cleaning will,
Still, STOP PROCRASTINATING.
Hmmmm. The thought just came to me, maybe I get bored easily, so I intentionally make things more difficult. Like, Put off packing so I can pull it off miraculously.
Ok seriously though, for now, just go shower and get this show on the road!
 
You go girl! The world is waiting for Bananie surprises today!!
And your fingerprints in strategic places!
If I wasn't so fat and old I would dress up as your Cheerleader. But don't think either one of us could deal with that kind of exposure!
Kinda scary when I think about it!
How about just sincere support. You got this...
Get Pookie treats and call it a sucessful day!
You rock.
 
Lol I'm fat and old too, we can come up with appropriate cheerleader costumes!
Thanks for all the support ladee!!!
The person who interviewed me said she enjoyed our conversation and hopefully will be calling me within the week. I'm on my way to training now, and did manage to stop at family dollar and get coffee, creamer and cat treats!!
Oh, how alliterative!
 
Major progress!
Perfection is boredom.
Yay for the great potential for the new job. Is the one you spoke about ,really wanting it? Hope so!
We just get too comfortable and the universe sends us someone more nuts than us to deal with and good change happens.
Let me know when you hear about the job...
And lets don't talk about the cheerleading outfits anymore. The visuals are making my stomach hurt from laughing!
 
It was for the one I really wanted, and now I'm kinda like, meh, if I get it, I get it, if I don't, I don't. The place it's at is cool, but, it's very professional, and I'm not great at that lol.
We'll see. :)
 
Apparently the lady hiring thought you were professional. Reframe that to say..hope I have an opportunity to go in and let them see my definition of professional.
You handled your last situation very professional.
And you won't have the clone there !
 
Reframe that to say..hope I have an opportunity to go in and let them see my definition of professional.
oooooo I like that. Thank you. Literally on my way there, I was worrying about my jacket, and my purse, and explaining myself, and I thought "you know what, goddamnit Annie, you are a good worker. They should BE so lucky to even have you interviewing with them, wanting to work there. If they don't like the package, their loss. You're 36, you survived your childhood, your teens, college, love, loss, death, psha. Not that you didn't already have the right, but you earned the right to just BE."
Plus....I read something right after that gave me even more perspective, or, well, when I read it, I was like, WHOA, YES! Lemme see if I can find it..... I don't know about posting links, and copy pasting from things on here, I don't want to break rules, but if you were to say, google 7 signs you're entering the 5th dimension, and like, go to the first link, it's an interesting read, and the first paragraph about time, felt like it especially applied to right now. :)
 
Ohhh. Great read!. I am going to have to get my laptop set up again so I can read more! ..
Thanks for the share..went straight to it
Am working on cord cutting now. Everything coming together it seems.
And me sharing what you were thinking. No accidents. I knew I connected with you !
Have a great evening.
You are going to take some much needed healing energy to your new job!
Can't wait to hear about it!
 
OK! Well the staying up the whole night thing didn't work, really. But, it kind of did. I mean, I didn't stay up all night, but, I stayed up later than usual, and then just took a nap, yes, because I ran out of cigs, and walked to the two closest stores and they were both closed, and the next closest open store was only a mile away, but in a not horrible area, but just one I wouldn't feel as comfortable walking in at 1:30 in the morning as my own neighborhood. So I decided, maturely, I think, to just take a little nap until the other stores opened lol. I decided to take a different route back than I usually do, and a rabbit startled me by darting across my path, probably because I startled it by appearing. That one was gone like a freight train, but then another one started to hop past too, but we both just froze. Then it slowly started to hop closer, then past, then came back to circle me. I didn't move. But I couldn't help myself after it stopped right in front of me and just looked at me, I said Hey bud. I wish I had food for you. I don't know why, it's not like the rabbit needed my human words. Our presence in each other's company was enough. I'll remember that next time.
I actually did get some moving related stuff done too though. Phew. Lots thrown out. I can see how hoarders happen. "I might use this! This means a lot to me! I can't just throw this away, I paid money, and I might use it!" OMG we are such a wasteful species! Stuff stuff stuff we want stuff and then we just let it sit there and then we throw it away. I saw an Ikea platform bed hack video, and thought, hmmmm. I think if I had that, I either could, or I would make it a goal, to be able to contain all my stuff right in that bed pod and be a totally contained and easily portable autonomous unit for mid mall snacking. I think imma shoot for that. Life goals.
I also scheduled movers and a dude with a truck, for under my hoped for budget.
I think this switch in schedule is going to be good for me. I've been going to bed earlier and earlier, saying oh, I'm just taking care of myself." No. I was more depressed than usual. Stuck in a rut. Oh, lol, the teacher from mighty ducks 2 just popped into my head "they look tired...we need to....switch players." "oh! you mean change it up! say it!" "Change it up" "YELL IT!" "CHANGE IT UP!!!" Another part of that movie reminded me of ego states. Coach Bombay ties the old ducks and the new players together and tells them to skate. And they all move in different directions and collapse. He says "Everybody goes their own way, everybody falls down. Teamwork!"
Ok, I think it's sleep time.
