So I'm sitting here at work (where I write most of my blogs, sorry boss) and it's a particularly good day, especially for a Monday. Why? Well, I'm sipping MY coffee, sorting MY email, listening to MY music, making lists of what I need to do still for MY finals, and sorting things out for MY part in helping out a friend. Did you catch the theme there? ME. I don't think there has been a time recently when everything I have done has revolved almost solely around myself. And it's not even selfish, it's normal. Most of you might sit there and be like "uh...cool? I do that every day." That's awesome and more power to you, but this is not my normal. My usual day is listening to the radio, catching the traffic report, hearing about an accident and seeing if that's on anyone I know's route to work so I can let them know what to avoid. Then I think about my day and wonder what kind of mood my boss will be in and whether or not we'll have lunch together and how I can make her day better if she had a crappy weekend, etc. Then I wish a good day to those who don't return the niceties and could care less if I have a good day or not.
NOT TODAY, KIDS. Today, it's all about me. I have things to do and stuff to get done before certain deadlines. I have fun to have that no one is going to stop me from. I feel so lucky to have all of this. My own life and my own things that make me happy that aren't based on what makes others happy. It's really freakin' refreshing. Maybe it's because I am such a planner and I do have a plan for at least the next 10 days and things may change slightly in between but all of my plans are focused around me. Not based on someone else's schedule or on anyone else's dime. I finally have ONLY the friends in my life who appreciate me and don't take advantage of my give-all spirit and I have a family and extended family that I can guarantee would kill for me.
