Monday Blues
Well yesterday and today I had the blues (that's what Jennifer calls them)...I didn't even leave my apartment yesterday because I was feeling so tired and kind of depressed. I think it was due to the weather. It was cold and rainy (OK, not as cold as Rochester, I know :-) But I was really cranky. I talked to Jennifer and she hadn't left her apartment either. She was having a blue day on Sunday too. We met today, and decided we wouldn't do that to each other again. Next time, we'll call each other and get out of our apartments together :-) I felt better after seeing her. Today, work just seemed to drag. But I made some good progress on the latest project I was given, so that made me happier. Also, I had a ham and cheese hot pocket for dinner, so that made me even HAPPIER!
I had a call from Chrissy, and then I called Granny and Papa back. I had a really nice conversation with them! They were so excited about the pictures that I posted, and we talked about the trip, and Seymen's family. Then we discussed me moving to a foregin country to teach english (yes that's my latest plan hehehehe of the week ;-) and they were very supportive. Which made me even happier. I called Seymen like 10 times tonight...I think he might cut me off of the phone because I kept calling...but you know how that goes...I kept thinking of things, and questions 10 minutes after we'd hung up.
So, I think I made some more decisions about my life here in Texas. Originally, I had been thinking about trying to move back to Rochester in June. I had just decided to keep considering my options and wait for a sign to tell me what to do...(Because I definitly do believe in signs, and that's what worked for me with this move to Austin...I just held out and waited for a sign, and by July 4th, I had my sign!) So anyway, I think I may have gotten my sign this week, and I've decided (as of now) that I'm changing my "goal" to stay here in Austin until November. I can now focus on moving somewhere else by The 3rd week in November. (I have to stay until then because my mom is coming to Austin for a Social Work conference, and how silly would it be that I move away right before she comes!) Anyway, I know it sounds silly, and trust me, that is not the sign that I'm talking about. I have received another sign, but I can't divuldge that information yet. (Don't you just LOVE secrets??!?!?)
Anyway, Seymen and I tried to talk about our travel plans for the next 3-4 months. I decided that I need to stay in Austin for a month at least, without travelling so I can attend my Turkish classes (I feel guilty for not going since before Christmas). Seymen decided that he'll come to visit me during President's day weekend because it's a long weekend...and he hasn't been to Austin since Thanksgiving. In March, I have to go to Seattle to meet my new neice or nephew, and in April for Seymen's birthday, I'll go home to Rochester. I asked him if he wanted another suprise party, but he declined. I think were both a little surprise partied out ;-) So I'm trying to come up with a good plan for his 25th birthday. This is HUGE :-) He's going to be a quarter of a century OLD! How exciting! :-) So I've decided that THIS year, it's going to have to be a BIG BASH!!! BIG CELEBRATION!!!
Anyway...I am motivated and while I was writing, I just came up with a good idea for Seymen's b-day...so now I have to research stuff on the web. Goodnight!
