new name,new shower curtain:a new hope
i've been reborn! so to speak...
as i mentioned about a week ago,i was going to and now have officially changed my user name from moonriver to _redsparkle_. everything else stays the same,though. same friends and communities,etc. also,i'm keeping my title as moon river anthology at least for now,so there's that continuity as well.
crazy day. feeling pretty low lately,and today i felt very nauseated for quite a while. i thought it was just me,but someone else said their stomach had been bothering them lately. anyway,it felt a bit better as the day went on.
i had my work review and it was quite good overall,though with some points where i could improve,of course. but i got high marks on my actual work. where i could use improvement is in being more professional and less emotional. my boss feels that personal lives should be left behind and not brought into work. i dont' totally agree with her,but maybe that's because most of my social life and support is at work,which is rather pitiful.that's got its good and bad points. bad point is that i don't have a social life outside of work. good point is that i think it is good to be human and have friends at work.
anyway,i got my fifty cents raise and will now be earning as much as i did 13 years ago! it's taken me that long to work back up to $10 an hour which of course used to go a lot further,but oh well. tomorrow i will get my actual higher paycheck and here's hoping i haven't jumped into a higher tax bracket so i will indeed see $15 more in my paycheck weekly.
i was about a third of the way home tonight,around midnight,when i came upon a roadblock. i have no idea what it was...a big accident or a drug bust or something. there looked like there were about ten cars or so,and it's just a little booney back road,but it was near an area where i wouldn't be surprised that there would be some drug-dealing going on sometimes. the cars were totally blocking the road and all i could see was headlights,so i didn't even bother to try to find out what was going on. unfortunately,this meant i had to go all the way back to where i work and take a different route home. the reason i have been using that longer back road route lately is because of some horrible roads under construction since july,but i had no choice but to drive on it. poor seablue! i hope they finish it up soon,before the ground freezes up like that. plus,i don't like to use the back roads in winter because they are extremely hilly and it's pretty scary on icy or slippery snowy days. so,we'll see. i could possibly find myself a detour,but my commute is pretty long already!
anyway,i was glad to be home. and somehow i still managed to have the energy to take down my old shower curtain,toss it and take down that and my bathroom trash to the dumpster,and put up the new shower curtain,which of course,stinks. i know it doesn't sound like much,but stuff like that exhausts me.
so,you know,it's a new beginning...

I did a double take --- "I don't remember adding them..."
I'm glad for new beginnings. :0)
