welcome to my mind ...

Just like the last one, so many months ago, this title does have a relevance, but the only person who would understand what that means doesn't read my blog.

If you are reading it ... then ... hi! Hello there!

This entry is going to have nothing to do with you, so if you don't want to keep reading, that's fine. If you do, enjoy.

I'm still trying my damnedest to get to VA for my cousin's wedding. I want to meet up with my family members that I haven't seen in over a decade. There's only two people from my extended family whom I've seen in the last 10 years: my uncle who randomly decided to use my sister's wedding in 2010 as an excuse to go to Vegas and last year when my aunt was out here on business. That's it. I have until the 25th of July to RSVP. I also want to kind of make it a secret. Like, only tell my aunt and cousin that I'll be going. I want to show up and have everyone else surprised that I'm there. I've grown up quite a bit since most of them last saw me and although pictures on Facebook are a thing, I'm pretty much a carbon copy of my mother so it'll be fun seeing her siblings reactions to seeing me in person.

Tomorrow is midweek ... I really need to catch up on my work. I'm about two days behind now and I'd like to be caught up again. It's annoying that they can't just send things through every couple days. They have to wait and send it through in a big batch ... and then get people complaining because it's been a week or more and they still haven't received a call. Or, they have to wait another month before we actually have something available. Don't get me wrong, I still like my job; just the way they handle some things is frustrating.

Next week is supposed to get hot ... They're forecasting 90s for the whole week. Considering I came from Vegas, 90 shouldn't be a huge deal, but 90 is hot no matter what part of the country you live in. Especially if there's no air conditioning. Luckily, I seem to have come up with a weird method that seems to be keeping my place under 80. And the giant tower fan, I've not had to turn up above the first setting, so that's a plus. I even get chills with it pointed directly at me. Then I just sleep with my little fan on. I've even been keeping the fleece blankets on my bed. We'll see how well this works when the temps soar.

I really want to go out of town again this weekend ... I have to find things to do around the city that don't cost me anything. It's actually not hard to do; there's so many hidden, and not-so-hidden, gems around here that I can explore. The idea of getting out of town is just so much more appealing. It's my way of escaping every day life without the commitment of permanence.

I'm excited for tomorrow, actually. I have plans for lunch and I have plans after work. The rest of the week there's nothing exciting planned, but tomorrow is going to be good.

No idea when I'll write again.

Until then ...
