Life update because I don’t feel like sleeping because it’s the weekend? Okay! Everything is kind of stabilizing now to the point that I feel like I have time to try new recipes (tonight was chicken marsala YUM!) and it’s nice to come home, watch some Mad Men with the cat and the boy, eat some good food, and not think about homework. Work is still mundane and alternative options are still being explored but I’ve been a bit half-hearted about it. Not too many open positions have seemed better. Monday is my performance review and I’m pretty paranoid about getting fired. I really don’t want that. My goal is simply to find an alternative before the office moves to Brooklyn next year and my commute is suddenly doubled but my salary is not.

Last week I had a whole series of nightmares involving my ex-roommate either yelling at me or chasing me or doing something to upset me, but those seem to be fading. I just woke up feeling so cliché after…And then I noticed I was in my own amazing apartment and there was a cute boy in my bed as well as a cute cat and I clearly got the magnificent end of the deal after all, and I felt better.

Tomorrow is me time for a bit followed by mall shopping and food court deliciousness, next weekend my dad visits and fixes things, Labor Day weekend is mini-vacation to Long Island for thrift and outlet shopping and Montauk and free food galore! Yay life!
