Monday: my job

Well I think my project is probably going to be canceled or put on hold tomorrow. There's been a lot of talk that the current project was canceled, and we have a big meeting at 8am. Since a lot of you will probably hear about it, here is my thought process:

*The site tries really hard not to lay people off, so I still expect to have a job at 9am tomorrow.
*I'm not in a department that is only the helicopter, so that might help.
*I had an important meeting with the customer tomorrow at 8am. It was rescheduled for 9am (not canceled!) which I take to be a good sign.
*Ben and I redid our finances on Saturday and can survive on one income.
*It might be nice to go back to working 40-44 hours/week.
*I don't actually know what is going on...maybe it's better than expected.
*God's taken care of me financially so far, so why stop now?

But I'm still a bit stressed.

Sunday: impromtu grilling

We went to a last-minute cook out with friends from church today. What a great idea! Once the sun went down it was rather cold, so we played four-on-the-couch. The girls won both times with the same order. That should count for about twenty wins.

Sunday: waking up

So I set my alarm for my nap today. Ben happened to come down between the third and forth buzzes so I yelled for his help, "I can't get up! Nicely help me get up!" meaning, tell me I can go back to sleep.

He goes to the kitchen. Ooo...chocolate is coming. "How long till your alarm goes off again?" "One minute." "Give me your phone." So I give him my phone. He puts it on the dresser with some chocolate. "But how am I supposed to go up and get it?" He consoled me with a piece of chocolate and walked out of the room as the alarm went off.

I was so preoccupied with the chocolate I had forgotten that I'd actually have to get up to turn the alarm off. I realized this rather quickly as the annoying sound wouldn't stop. It got me up. But I'm not happy about getting up.

Friday: sleep

So I think I worked a record number of hours this week. I (think) I also managed to not be a zombie around the house in the evenings. Both of these equal crashing last night.

I took a nap right after I got home. I almost feel asleep again going to the restaruant. I made it through half a movie, and was out again. I was awake for a little longer, but then sleep claimed me again. Ben made me wake up to go home, where I feel asleep for the final time of the night.

Thursday: living room

The living room like it was...
The living room with a simulated two couches ( just trying it to see if we like it or if it feels too crowded.)

We haven't decided on much yet, but we did decide on the fabric.

Wednesday

Well, I worked a lot again today. This is one of the weeks where I don't really feel like I'll ever be caught up, but I do at least feel like I'm making progress which is nice.

I went to a girl's night out with someone from work and her friends. It was fun. We just sat around and ate and talked. Well, I didn't really talk because I don't the first time I meet people, but I've decided that's ok.

Tuedsay

Not much new over here, although both Ben and I have been working a lot. The thing that I was frustrated with on Friday got resolved yesterday in two ways...it got delayed and a slight wording addition. Both of which relieved my stress level a ton.
