Gish's Blurty

I Like Single Serving...
I'm snowed in. Snowed up. If you looked carefully enough, you could find me underneath mounds of paperwork in my office. I'm not altogether too sure where it all came from, but it's here. In spades, one could say.

My eyeballs are so sore.

In between filling out forms and listening to Matt Good on repeat, I've been thinking. And we all know thinking is what gets me into the most delicious kind of trouble. My thoughts keep jumping ahead 6 months. What to do? Where to go? Should I stay? All kinds of questions floating around, begging for attention. But lately, I've been snapping back at them, trying to get work done instead of indulging myself too much in the way of "What if". I have quite a few options, so the thinking isn't really winning at the moment.

Instead, I upload pictures on my down time, listening to either Arrested Development or and HBO special in the backround, two fingered typing while the other hand is holding the endless cigarette. The lights are low, my special read fabric lamp blazing in the corner, and the little star paper lamp near the couch. Both cast a soothing red glow on my white covered world. I curl up on the couch in sleeping clothes, not really paying attention to the laptop or the television. I may be absent.

I guess one thing I've failed to mention the past few weeks, not intentionally but really just pressed for time with travelling, etc, is that I've gotten a new bed. And it's a lovely bed. So cushy and soft, my blankets drape over it so nicely. I have gotten used to sleeping on the crappy bed that was provided when I moved here, that I never even considered asking for a new one. Lo and behold, I do (totally out of the blue one day while meeting up with the housing manager in an airport) and 3 days later, this sweet little beauty arrives. It's so nice in fact, that I wonder if it's transferrable to other locations. Stay tuned.

A little photo of my airport manicure and a single serving bottle of ketchup.

I love single serving. Whoever thought of that, is a genius. Although I can complain a little about the waste, etc that is associated with single serving action, I still think it's a smart solution for this day and age. Who cooks for a family these days? I don't. In fact, I never do. And yet when I'm at the stove (grudgingly) I still cook way too much and never eat nearly enough. So, little inspirational pieces like this catch my attention. Maybe I only think this way because I'm always on the go, never needing to buy an entire bottle of ketchup. Who knows.

I'm finally home, settled in after a business trip that took me away from here before I'd been back a full week from vacation. It felt like I was spending so much time, climbing those little flights of airplane stairs, and sleeping in anonymous bedrooms. But I'm back in my house (for the time being) and mostly feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things. It's funny that I get bored with the swing of things after a short time.

I could never settle down.
