Running but only in circles.
I feel like I've just been running. Running running running in every direction but on a continuous loop.
As most of you know by now, Richie and I are engaged...today makes a full week. I'm ecstatic, happy, over the moon, insanely in love, and bubbling over.
One minute.
The next, I'm anxious, stressed, tired, wound, frenetic, and bitchy. Oh, I'm still all the other things, but it just feels like I have so much to do and no focus to do it with.
I just found an email today (Aug 1) from July 8 (on the week I started my job) from a potential writing client. I hadn't responded. *dstare* Yeah, that was an interesting reply I sent..."Um, my ISP server *just* got this to me." Lame, but I can carry off lame stuff...at least over the internet. hehe
My editor has reviewed my 'grief' essay and it should be ready for submission. I have had it over a week and still haven't read it. Actually thinking about it, if I get it read tomorrow, Rich could take it home and mail it from there. hmmm...
I have 3 school courses that I have barely touched. I have to get this apartment into 'selling' ready (painting, fixing, etc.). I have to sell stuff like large furniture. We have to sort out the immigration. And plan the wedding (which makes my head spin completely, and is really the only part of any of it that I want to focus on and can't really).
The full-time job isn't keeping me busy enough so at the very least I can research and pull some stuff in while there.
I finally got a nap today. God, I was just exhausted. Not sleeping great and every time I wake up (or am woken up by kittens) I stay awake, my mind going 3,000,000 miles a minute.
At least Chester has stopped being resentful of Rich. Damn, he's a pain in the ass when he's jealous and acting out. He's actually bonded quite well. Of course, since he has, Emmy is all estranged from Rich. I don't even want to think about having all 4 cats acting weird in the same place. o.O
And through all this, I'm still happy and excited. Richie's here through Tuesday so I'm doing my best to not be *too* out there (*snort* didn't work this afternoon...) and just enjoy our time together. I can hardly wait until we don't have to be apart. *sighs dreamily*
We went to the Chocoholics buffet on Friday night (and ate ourselves into a diabetic coma), and to Bard on the Beach's presentation of Macbeth tonight. It's been a fun weekend overall.
If we get the immigration sorted out tomorrow, we'll be well on our way. *makes another list to make more lists and so on, and so on, and...*
Thanks for sticking through till the end of the post. Masochists. :P
