Days 586-605

Day five hundred eighty-six
June 9, 2014: Abi really wants to watch The Lord of the Rings.

Day five hundred eighty-seven
June 10, 2014: Started a new yoga/strength training video set. Yeah. I’m feeling it. It’s been a while since I have actually been this sore. I would say it was a good sore, only I am not a crazy liar. Well, I am a crazy liar, but not about exercise feeling good. I will admit, after a long time without exercising, I just don’t feel as good all around.

Day five hundred eighty-eight
June 11, 2014: That’s it, I’m moving to Sparta.

Day five hundred eighty-nine
June 12, 2014: I have officially decided that “at” is my least favorite word ever. It wide spread and to be honest repetitious use as cast a bad light upon all sentences ending in prepositions.

Day five hundred ninety
June 13, 2014: This post does not actually exist due to superstition.

Day five hundred ninety-one
June 14, 2014: Happy fake birthday to Katy.

Day five hundred ninety-two
June 15, 2014: I wonder when my streak of Sunday’s off is going to end.

Day five hundred ninety-three
June 16, 2014: Happy real birthday to me. Turned 21. Though there was no celebration. That will happen later in the week. Life is too busy and crazy right now to actually do it on the day.

Day five hundred ninety-four
June 17, 2014: There is nothing left in life but to wonder upon existence.

Day five hundred ninety-five
June 18, 2014: Happy real birthday to Katy and happy second birthday to me. Went out to dinner, got the least alcoholic tasting alcoholic drink available and opened presents.

Day five hundred ninety-six
June 19, 2014: This and Saturday are the only days I am working this week. Probably because I don’t get credit apps. In fact a bunch of new people are being hired just so the credit app slackers can be given fewer hours. This isn’t speculation. The boss man said as much. His exact words were, “I’m going to start interviewing at least a couple people a week. We can’t afford to have people not reaching our goals.”

Day five hundred ninety-seven
June 20, 2014: Watched the first The Lord of the Rings movie with the kids. They all thought the talking parts were boring, especially since I was shushing them.

Day five hundred ninety-eight
June 21, 2014: Today was not the best of days.

Day five hundred ninety-nine
June 22, 2014: I don’t know where the time went today.

Day six hundred
June 23, 2014: My kindle arrived today. Happy third birthday to me. I set it all up, downloaded some public domain books on it, and then ate my cake.

Day six hundred one
June 24, 2014: Got three credit apps today. Once upon a time that would have made me happy, but now the next time I go to work the boss will be all over me telling me to do that well again and congratulation me and acting like I freakin’ found the cure for cancer and have helped the company more than I ever have, just by convincing three people to go into debt. I think almost more than the incessant drive is the almost manic fondling of the people who do get credit apps. Tell me “good job” or better yet a simple “thanks” once and none of this obsessive, forced praise.

Day six hundred two
June 25, 2014: I am not sure when I began The Wheel of Time series, but now I am done. There is something sad about that. I have been reading that series for a long time, over several months now, often reading a couple shorter books between each one. It’s been a story I have been with for so long, reading the very last words felt a little strange. Also, the 1979, animated, Warner Brothers’ version of The Lord of the Rings is trippy. Aragorn is Native American, I can live with that. Boromir is a Viking, that can be dealt with. Gimli is only like a foot shorter than Legolas, that fact makes me wince but I can understand that it was low budget. But why, dear Lord, are none of the human men wearing pants? The elves, hobbits, and dwarves get to wear pants, why not the humans?

Day six hundred three
June 26, 2014: So at JCP today there was this guy that looked exactly like my brother-in-law Shawn, only he was African-American. So it was a little weird actually, because Shawn in really white, but this really black guy and he look so much alike. They kind of even act the same.

Day six hundred four
June 27, 2014: Watched The Two Towers today. There were a couple of times when Colleen and Jacob had to turn their faces away…in disgust because they don’t like smooching. Aragorn and Arwen sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

Day six hundred five
June 28, 2014: I really wish people would just read small print so they would stop yelling at me about how items are priced incorrectly.
