Wed Reflections

 Is it really only Wednesday. I had an early morning meeting with Bruno and Sidekick...can I just call her the Dragon? It ruined my day.

But I went out to get my hair done. And I happened upon a post office. And a Thai restaurant. So I got my hair washed and blow-dried with only minor 1st degree burns. I got 3 change of address cards. And I got pork and basil. I was looking for veggies but got a bowl of meat instead. What are you going to do?

I tried to stop at McDs for a $1 Icee but the promotion must have ended.

But the Thai food was yummy.

As for Bruno and Friends, she really just gets under your skin and will bicker about the smallest things. Today, it was acronyms. Really. The time before it was someone's name. I wish she would die. Yeah, that sounds drastic but that's how I feel. I don't want do any harm to her but I wish she were not a part of my life. 

I feel ganged up on and I knew this meeting was going to focus on me. And it did! What can I do different next time? Honestly, I don't care that much. I'm not spending any more time correcting my behavior for anyone. I'm Almost 40 for God sakes. I'm done with the modifications. Against popular opinion, I'm not interested in continuous improvement.

I'm fine the way I am. If the Brunos and Dragons of the world are allowed to exist, than so shall I!

The only concern is if somehow this affects my job. So I just have to re-assure myself that it doesn't. And even if it did, I would be fuming mad, but financially okay. The plan for any sort of separation is to look for a year and if unsuccessful, early retire.

Other things making me anxious:

- This dumb Internet Lady, as feared, is not planning to come pick up this stuff this week. Groan. I think I will move forward with my plan to re-list the 1st floor stuff once I hear back from my House Buyer.

- Waiting this due diligence period. At a low level, I think I just have to be concerned with how much they're going to want as a credit for repairs. At a high level, there is the possibility they could cancel the purchase altogether. Their communication doesn't say that, but I think that is standard for a due diligence period. 

- For the third time, a portion of my Direct Deposit is getting returned from Dumb Bank. I hope HR doesn't notice the trend and say something! I've emailed Dumb Bank twice now and usually they respond in a couple hours but for some reason, that has stopped. 

- Paying my therapist. 

So my next date of anxiety-relief is next Tuesday. Luckily, it's an errand day, so I'll be more motivated to get stuff done. 

I'm pretty happy I got most of my work tasks done today. I have one more medium-lift task that I think can wait until next Wed.

So next Tuesday I should be free to get other  errands done and do some more packing. 

I lost my train of thought because I suddenly decided to do a BillPay to pay for therapy for the rest of the summer. It's been stressing me out to get these emails from the Operations Person at the therapy office. And Zellle is not instant! 

Things I'm happy about

- Making so much progress with packing!

- Sorting my fall clothes and having a plan!

- I finally got my IRS refund...all $200-something dollars of it! (At least it didn't come with an audit!)

- Just having a path forward with all this packing. Maybe I'll get a burst of energy and be done with the upstairs..that would be swell!

- Oh finally getting some clean hair! 

I'm still going to mentally proceed with packing my stuff because I'm moving no matter what, just the dates might be off. Thinking out loud..if for some reason the contract gets cancelled....I'll probably stay put until at least my work meeting in July. And go from there! (Look at me being flexible!)
