This past week has been a tough week for me and I just need to vent a little.
First off, things at work haven't been going well. We got all new management a few months ago and they are doing stuff that none of us like. I have been looking for a new job for a few weeks now. Not just because of the management, but because I want to find something a little less stressful and happier. Well I am not finding ANYTHING. There is nothing in the area! The closest I have found is a 45 minute drive and I don't want to have to do that. Expecially not with gas prices they way they are now.
Next off, I was suppose to move into my new place by the 15th. Well, that's not happening now. Well, I'm still moving in there, I just don't know when. The house needed a lot of work. New electrical, putting in a new bath, all new carpets, new porch, and everything needed a new coat of paint. Well the workers have been dragging their feet. My new landlord (Steve's fire chief!) is getting mad, but he can't complain too much cause a lot of the work is being donated by a friend of his. But now, we have no clue when we will get in. By the beginning of June we are told, but it's tough to be packing when you have know clue what's going on. And of course my current landlord is kinda frustrated too. She told us till the end of May is fine, but she wants to be able to have a new tenate in the first week of June.
Lastly, Steve started a new job 2 weeks ago. So far he loves it, which is great. I'm so happy for him. He got his first pay check yesterday and got more in 1 week there then he did in 2 weeks at his last job. The thing is he started his swing shift the other day. 2 night shifts, 2 days off, 2 days shifts, 2 days off, 3 night shifts, 2 days off, etc. Until this point I've been very lucky. Since I moved here a little over 2 years ago, Steve has "tucked me in" every night. I'm having a hard time at night not having him around to say good night to me or give me a kiss before I go to sleep. So I haven't been sleeping well at all. He is adjusting well to the new schedule but I'm not.
It's just a bunch of little things piling up and making me frustrated and stressed out constantly. The only thing that seems to be going well is the wedding planning (go figure!) So I have been trying to spend as much time as possible on that. But again, it's been hard with Steve's new schedule.
Thanks for letting me vent a bit. Just wanted to get things out. You ladies are the best and I know you'll let me ramble on! Thanks again.
