This week has been extremely productive. I got a ton of things crossed off a very extensive list at work. I feel like I took some great strides in learning to not second guess myself. Some of this second guessing is really messing with my head. It starts me make me feel incompetent and incapable. But then I have days like the last 3 where I learn, I grow, and I get shit done and I did it all without needing a lecture. I needed some self realization minus the condescension that usually surrounds me. It was like a nice confirmation that I don’t suck entirely at my job and I got it all on my own. Thanks for all the kind comments on getting me through the rough times! Those help more than you can know!

Boyfriend and I are in the full throws of house hunting. We were out til 5-8ish on Tuesday night and now we’re going out again tomorrow. We saw 5 houses and hopefully will see 6-7 tomorrow. It’s tiring! But we do have 2 great prospects that I’m very excited about. There were 2 houses that I fell in love with and there are a couple tomorrow that I think will be awesome. The biggest problem right now is the drive. All the houses that are decent and in our price range are quite the drive from work. 40+ minutes. But for the house we might buy… it could be worth it. 

On a gross note, the door to the closet that houses our cat’s litter box got shut! Neither boyfriend nor I has any recollection of this happening. I don’t use the second bedroom for anything and therefore never go in there, but boyfriend swears he did not shut it. But anyway- we both noticed a nasty smell permeating our apartment and finally found the cause… poor cat had no where to relieve himself and took a large poop and multiple pees around the second bedroom. EWWWWW!!! Needless to say our windows are open and the Febreeze is sprayed liberally. 

On top of this crazy stuff going on, I was chasing peeing dog this morning after she peed on the carpet and I took a bit of a nose dive trying to grab her. In doing so, I think I pulled something in my glute muscle. I could barely pick myself up off the floor and hobbled around the office all day. It’s extremely painful. I tried stretching it but just can’t seem to loosen it up. No good. Hobbling around 6 houses tomorrow is going to be rough. 

We need to get out of this apartment. My apologies to the future owners… I do hope they get you some new carpet. Apartment owners can keep the $99 security deposit!! 

Sorry for a bit of a rant here! I’m very very tired and in quite a bit of pain. Peeing dog is a bitch! (But she’s sleeping so sweetly next to me and you would never know she’s the spawn of Satan.)
