A brief update
AHH!! I just thought I’d get that off of my chest. Now that I’ve done that, I’d like to give a brief update so that you don’t think I’m disappearing and stuff.
The last couple of weeks have just been something else. I’m going to leave it at that, but I do intend to explain at another time. I’m so tired!!
My sister and her kids have been here visiting for a week and my mom and aunt are coming into town this morning. I’ll be headed to the airport to pick her up in a few minutes. Yay for moms!! Too bad she won’t be staying with me while in town, due to the whole 1 bedroom apartment thing.
My bedroom smells like mildew, but that’s a story for another time. I trying to think of something awful to do to the leasing people.
My birthday is today. Blah birthday. I had planned a spa morning with my mother and aunt and a couple of friends that were eager to play hookie from work, and that’s not going to happen now. It had been planned since JANUARY! 
I want spa. My mom wants to go out to dinner so we’ll probably do that, well, to some place I won’t want to go to (ie, not Thai or Mexican food), BUT I’ll have the company of my family… Which reminds me. If we go anywhere, I have no earthly idea how 6 people are going to fit into my COMPACT SUZUKI. *sigh*
I wish I could sleep a week. IN FACT, I’d like not to go to work today, but I will be in meetings all morning after I pick up my mom. Yay employment, I mean.
So, I guess I’m a little cranky this morning. So when are we going to that island??
By the way, happy birthday, Birthday buddy. 
I hope you have a pleasant day!
YAY!!!
*doing a happy dance*
This weekend I will be working on some analysis I jumped on at the last minute this month. It will be submitted to a special issue (for some disease I study), and if accepted (which it’s almost guaranteed to do because I didn’t write the bulk of the paper, lol, and the primary author was invited to contribute to this issue) it will be my FIRST publication!! YAY! It’s coming out much sooner than the paper I had been working on for months, mostly because I didn’t have any collaborators for that project. Anyway, I’m happy, and I wanted to let you know. With that said, I must get back to work. I’m set to submit 3 more before the end of the year (at least that’s my goal), and I’m going to try to get in on some travel to NYC to finish some of the research for one of the projects. Let the investigations and hustle continue!! I love this!!!
With that said…
WTF?? I mean, I know I live in Georgia. I really do. BUT it has been in the 90s for several weeks, like 99 and stuff, and well, I just don’t approve. It’s not August. I thought that when I went to Michigan I would get some relief, but apparently it was hotter than it had been all year there just in those few days. In a few days it’s going to be in the 80S and I AM EXCITED. Somebody find me a beach and some tank tops!!
On a side note, I went to the suspiciously murky pool yesterday and because of the delerium (see, I can’t even reference my previous rantings, but I mentioned that I would be seen running around delerious by July 4), made worse by the heat, I just jumped on in. In my right mind though, I’d slap my complex with a “public health warning” while flashing my health inspector badge… On a related note, I think I’d like to be a health inspector. lol Like I imagine myself giving citiations at all these random places and checking for dangerous bacteria (and flashing my badge. I think that is a remnant of the child police officer dream, lol. Yes, I too wanted to be a police officer. SO?!?).
On random disappearing acts
Do you ever feel like you’d like to disappear?? Well, honestly I’ve felt like doing so for a while. I mean, I’m not suicidal or anything. I don’t want to DISAPPEAR FROM the earth, but I occasionally would like to crawl into a cave for a few months, or move to another country or something like that. Oh, better yet, the forest, with my cat. I can’t leave her behind. NO no, an island.. Ok, you get the point. There are a variety of reasons why I occasionally feel like that, mostly because I probably think that disappearing is easier than dealing with whatever feelings that I might be dealing with. I tend to be a bit hard on myself, and although I make a lot of mistakes, I actually hate making mistakes. I mean, I don’t know anyone that particularly likes making mistakes, lol, but hell you make mistakes, learn from them, and keep it moving. I mean, you can’t crawl under a rock and hide from them, that’s for sure. And as my career/ runaway move to GA has shown me on several occasions, you take your feelings with you no matter where you go. When I allow myself to be rational and not crazy and emotional, I realize that I don’t in fact want to go anywhere. Well, I’d like to go on a vacation to the beach. Other than that, the only thing I really want to do is get better, and that is on so many levels. But yeah, I’m here. I’m looking into a new blog site. I’ll keep you posted and will let you know when I figure out where I’ll continue blogging. In the meantime, let the rants and randomness continue.
