Since You've Been Gone

Does anyone remember that song? "Since you've been gone, since you've been gone, I'm outta my head, can't take it..." 70's or 80's? Who was that? Popped into my head while trying to come up with a title. Doesn't really fit because technically I'm the one who's been gone. Which is good for you because I have become the most boring person ever.

All I do these days is think about what I need to do next. I'm bored and frustrated with myself. It sucks. All day, every day it's finish revising my resume, do I have a box for that, do I want to ship that at all, should I look for a job now, I guess I need a picture for LinkedIn, I don't have any interview clothes, I think I should get a bigger storage space, will I be able to see a Sharks or Giants game before I leave, when should I decide about a moving company, how am I going to afford all this, gotta finish writing the Office Manager procedures for my replacement, gotta have more work done on the car soon, what else can I send via media mail, and on and on until I either cry or fall asleep. Poor Casey has heard nothing from me but a constantly changing laundry list of tasks. To his credit he is very understanding and tries to help, but there are some things you just have to do yourself, ya know? My job is easy compared to my personal life. Ugh. On the upside, I decided to lose some weight and that's going well. The dress that I bought for interviewing is a size smaller than my usual, and it's already fitting better. I hear you: "What kind of idiot buys a dress that's too small?" This idiot when a) it was on sale for $30 and b) I need some incentive for the weight loss. So there.

And finally a shout out to my godson Sam. His hockey team is 5th in the nation for the 18 year old bracket!!!! They made it to the national tournament in Pennsylvania, but couldn't make it past the top ranked team. I say huge congratulations to the Tri-Valley Blue Devils for getting that far!!! Don't know for sure, but I'd say this was quite a coup for a California ice hockey team. I'm proud of you guys!
