Pissed Away Fifty Dollars These Past Ten Days

I am completely utilizing my new planner.  I love it!!  My brother got it for me for Christmas.  It works best when I use bright colors to mark things.  I have about ten different color highlighters that I use.  I love to pour over it and make it pretty and write down everything that I do.  It's satisfying when I find that I marked off everything to do that day.  I keep stickers paper-clipped on the back cover to put on those days to reward myself. Yesterday, I gave myself a little penguin because I completed everything I had down to do.  I am over halfway done with everything I meant to do today, since I am blogging at this very moment....!!!!
INTENSITY!

It's been pretty slow at work.  Everyone is at the big Steering Committee Meeting this week.  The only people here are Kevin, Kathy, and myself.  Stan might be here too, I can't tell.  He is so quiet. I got a new cubicle and I have a nice window now.  It's a "reduced" size cubicle, but I love it even more than the full size one I used to have.  Probably because it is all mine. I brought my wall clock today and hung it up and brought my ninja bunny cord wraps. I have a black and a pink one.  They are so darn cute.  I don't even want to use my headphones so I can just have them hanging there looking adorable.  It's nice that there is no one here.  I am pretty much left in peace to do my work (or not do my work [for shame]), because the other people who are here are on the other side of the whole office and never have any reason to come over to me at all.  So I'm getting a little spoiled this week.  Next week it'll be back to work as usual I suppose. *sigh*
I've been thinking that I really want to get a fish for my office.  I want a Betta (more properly known as the Siamese Fighting Fish) since they are solitary.  I have been researching tanks that would work, because I want something that isn't going to make hardly any noise of course.  It's debatable though as to whether I can even have one.  I'll have to ask my bossy boss when everyone gets back next week.  But I found this one tank and in the video it seemed to be really quiet and some of the reviews talked about how it was quiet.  One woman even had it in her office. So it may be a possibility yet!
I'd also like to have a plant, but I am going to way for that until spring so I can get a nice pretty, healthy one. I've been looking at Feng shui to try and get that in my office, because I am big on comfort and want to feel at peace and sort of a home away from home at my office space.  Let's face it, I spend nearly as much time here as at my actual home so I want to love it; if only a little.

My brother (I have two and this is the other from the one previously mentioned) has asked me to create him a drawing.  I don't know if any of you follow me on Instagram (TympanicPulse) but I've been in a more geometric mood lately.  My brother loves that sort of thing and wants me to do one so as soon as I get done with it (probably by the next time I blog) I will be sure to upload it on here along with its predecessors.  Maybe I'll even put one in my cube! It's good to have artwork around, even more so if you did it yourself and are really proud of it (helps if it's good too then you will get lots of compliments to make your head swell, whoop whoop!).  I think I will definitely do that.  I'll have to write down to get wire hangers at Walmart this weekend (TO THE PLANNER!!).

So I've been sick for about the last 3 1/2 weeks.  It's had varying degrees of miserableness, but mostly it's sucked.  This week I've got the coughs and its horrible because I can't take any real medicine (if you don't know why, read previous post).  Last night though when my boyfriend took me on a date (we went to P F Chang's. It was soooo good! I got the mandarine chicken and a small side of Sichuan green beans and mixed it and tons of spicy, sweet, tangy sauces and got to eat the rest of it for lunch!) and we were in the movie after dinner (we saw Taken 2, it was good but I'll be honest I wasn't raving afterwards or anything like after The Dark Knight Rises) I was coughing some and a couple times I coughed and got this sharp pain in my right side.  It was only for a moment and then subsided, but it concerned me.  It happened again when we were back at the apartment watching tv in bed and I coughed.  And it happened once more today at lunch when I leaned forward to pet my most beautiful friend, Arda, but that time I wasn't coughing.  Those are the only four times, but I think I should maybe so see the doctor because I would hate to have an irritated appendix or something and not do anything about it and it get worse. In fact I am going to call right now...
And at 8:30 in the morning I will be finding out just what is wrong with me.  Hopefully nothing.  They want me to fast in case I have to take any tests O_O  I made it super bright and important in my journal. Let's pray there is no emergency surgery involved.  If there is thought lets pray it goes well haha.

So my song of the day today I actually had as my song of the day on Facebook one day last week.  It just rocks my socks off.  Have a listen to I Miss the Misery by Halestorm. I heard this song on the radio and immediately fell in love with it.

Also the movie of the week is Les Misérables.  This movie is phenomenal.  Everyone should see it.  Be aware that it is an operetta (which means they sing nearly the whole time, less than 100 words normally spoken).  You get used to it, and the singing is wonderful, but it is something to be aware. It's not exactly the easiest movie to watch but it is so worth it.  I loved it.  I laughed and cried.  All the actors did a wonderful.  Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman go above and beyond.  Really it's a must see on the big screen.

Believe it or not, I actually got some work done while typing on this.

Unbelievably,
Mav
