A blog update -- how exciting ;-)

There's really not a *whole* lot going on around here. I've been working a lot, getting ready for my big move and whatnot. I'm starting to get antsy, anxious, nervous, and all other similar words. It's a little scary, ya know? Driving across the country alone like that. A little intimidating. But I'm very much looking forward to it. Yay to new adventures and going where life takes you.

I worked Wednesday night, and it was actually really good for a Wednesday. I was so pleasantly surprised. Then on Thursday I went into the city and hung out with Chelle, just watching TV and talking and whatnot... and then Jerry came home and we all goofed around and had a good time, ordered food and whatnot. I ended up staying a little too late, and my last train from Newark Penn Station left at 1:06 -- I realized this at 12:30 and knew I'd never make it. So I slept there on Jerry's futon, and left the next day. I was upset that my kitties had to be home all alone for a night (Tom was working), but I have to remind myself that they're *cats*. They're perfectly fine alone. :)

Friday was Valentine's Day. I hate that day. I've always gone on and on about how it's terrible, and this big corporate marketing scheme, etc etc... but yet every year, I hope and prey that the person I'm with at the time gets me something or does something for me. And every year I feel a little let down when that doesn't happen. This year was no different. I hate to admit it, but I was pretty upset that I didn't even get a card from Tony. I know, it's dumb and girly, but I never claimed to be perfect, did I? I actually didn't get any cards or any well wishes from anyone. But, I guess, it *is* Valentine's Day, and it *is* pretty silly. I hate that I get disppointed over it. Blah.

Anyway, I worked last night, and it was *terrible*. I guess that's because it was V-Day, so everyone was out somewhere nice with their significant others. I did the best I could, and unfortunately that wasn't very good last night. But I did go to this great little diner after work with someone I work with for breakfast. That almost made the night bareable ;)

I work tonight, too. I actually need to wrap up this post and go shower and all that. (I just had this enter my brain: "And all that JAZZ!" -- from Chicago, good movie!) After work Tom and a bunch of other people from the New York area are taking me into the city for a going away party. This should be fun :) I haven't gone out drinking and relaxing in awhile, so I'm looking forward to it. Should be good times.

Alright, time for showering and heading off to work and my pre-work phone call to Tony :)
