My life in points #2001

1) I started driving to the “day job”, instead of taking the train because I only go into the office 2 days a week and the timings involved in taking the train may possibly push me over the edge right now, so…

I realized that I am an emotional driver, and by that what I mean is, my driving style totally depends on my mood. On days that I am particularly emotionally frustrated, I seem to suffer from chronic must-change-lanes-as-much-as-possible-so-I-never-have-to-stop-or-slow-down disorder – it’s so bad sometimes that I actually feel like I am in one of those speed racing games. On days that I am content-ish, I drive like, umm, I don’t know… slow! And when I say slow, what I mean is a little over the speed limit and I actually do not mind traffic.

PS. The best compliment (and yes, I like to this about it as a compliment!) I ever got about my driving was “wow, you could drive in India!” har har

2) Gas is so expensive, I am not sure that I make enough to actually afford this drive to work!

3) I am currently watching my middle child play dominoes (while I make dinner) all by himself – his choice, while the other 2 play living room hockey. It’s like the middle child is just destined to be different, and, umm, apparently left out, no matter how much we try stop that from happening.

4) It’s June people – June! And there is an exclamation mark because this morning was freezing cold! Please warmth, come back!

5) I have so much work right now, I am not sure if to be super happy, or just sit and cry. Well, I usually do my best work when I have tight deadlines and too much work, but it’s a bit scary right now being a single parent and all that. I don’t want to extend myself too much, but at the same time, this is my livelihood so…

6) I have no bedtime routine anymore. And this is neither here nor there, but I’ve made this discovery that I either fall asleep when I put my kids to bed, or I just work until I really must sleep and then I just literally drop into a little corner of my bed. It’s a bit bizarre and it took me a while to actually realize that I was doing this, but if I make a conscious decision to sleep, I’ll just lie there for hours and not be able to sleep! Is that like a sickness or something??

Ok… if you read all of that, I love you!
