Monday...again?

First and foremost, I have fallen off the normal routine wagon.  I pulled a 3am-11am sleep shift last night.  I find myself thinking that I am just too bored to go to bed.  Has anyone else ever thought this?  I told myself it didn't matter as much, as today is a holiday and probably a lot less people are working today, and so I am not the only one in a non-normal routine today. 

I did, however, take a shower already and start the dishwasher.  I made plans with a friend to do a little sight-seeing around town today.  I even put on a clean pair of jeans and makeup.  This evening, I will go to quiz night.  And hopefully, go to bed at a reasonable hour. 

I like how I justify my odd sleeping hours, then congratulation myself on doing the barest minimum possible.  Ha. 

Things I should be doing include cleaning my kitchen and bathrooms; going through all the junk and clothes I have sitting in my second bedroom so that I can turn it into a comfortable, cozy lounging area for myself.  Or a bedroom for visitors or a roommate (currently resisting having a roommate, I like my space and privacy right now and besides, what if I have to move for a job?).

Instead, I've been watching Fiona sit on the flat top stove, dreaming of ways to fill the time unproductively til my friend comes over and trying to stay warm, not chilly.  I'm really not this lazy, I'm just bored at the moment.  Hm.  I think I will go put on some warmer clothes, then eat the rest of the incredibly yummy gorgonzola and pancetta risotto I made last night. 

In other news, I have convinced myself I am not getting this job with my old employer (not the one that laid me off, the one before that).  I emailed the hiring manager on Wednesday last week, but haven't heard anything.  I'm assuming they are offering it to someone else and just need to make sure the offer goes through before they tell me I am unwanted and that there was a better candidate for the position.  If that's the case, I likely will find a way to move out of this city as I feel a strong need for a change of pace and a new setting.  Preferably one where I think I have a decent chance at finding a good mate.  Because I do, in fact, want to get married sometime in the near future.  Near being defined as the next 3 years.

And that, my friends, is another Monday for me.
