judecorp | I have no coherent focus. Ever.

It's March now. That means three full months at our jobs and we are outta here. It's so exciting and so nervewracking all at once. I mean, we've been going back and forth on this for so long now, and now we have a plan and I'm freaking. I called my friend Laurie from high school tonight and told her, and she was thrilled. I'm sure that's how it will be for everyone out that way, especially my family. I'm excited at the prospect of being near all of them, yet sad about losing the proximity of the people here that I love so much.

It's time to crank the money-saving into high gear. I'm hoping that we can score some relocation fundage from family members, but if not, we'll work it all out. I want to save as much as possible though. I think we should be in pretty good shape, especially with Jennifer on an eBay spree. That also means less eating out, for real this time. Write it down: I actually cooked tonight - a salmon fillet with basil, rosemary, butter, lemon, and fresh ground pepper wrapped up in foil and baked, with garlic and oil pasta and peas. It was pretty good, if I may toot my own horn. TOOT TOOT!

I have been playing Zuma, and my eyes keep playing tricks on me. I see lots of moving colored balls. It's like when I got hooked on Snood in Maine and had dreams about Snood. Yeah, that's when I decided to stop cold turkey.

My Jennifer came home from work tonight and said work was boring. I couldn't think of the last time I had a "boring" job. Most of the time I like the go-go-go of it all, but sometimes it's just so exhausting to spend eight solid hours working and still feel like you're behind. I swear I could spend 12 hours a day there and would just about float, Georgie. I had court this morning, and court tomorrow morning, and court Friday morning, and court is such a time-suck because you sit and wait endlessly for all of the attorneys to show up and stuff. Today I wasted nearly three hours getting a freaking continuance. Aah well. Three months, baby. The perpetual drama of my agency seems so much easier to deal with when there's a set endpoint. Four of my teammates have expressed a desire to quit in the near future. There are only 9 people on my team.

Tomorrow's court should be okay, though. I'm not expecting a continuance, and we can probably go straight through to dispo. Maybe everyone will be there early and we can get in quickly - that would certainly make life a little easier, especially since I need to find time to vote! Rawr! It's a little scary because I have Kerry-phobia, and I want to vote Kucinich but part of me thinks maybe I should vote Edwards to slow down the Kerry machine a little. Hrm.

It's 10 PM, and for some reason, my friends list was especially prolific today - I had to go back over 120 posts. I think that's reason enough to shut the computer down for the night and get into bed with David Sedaris. And Jennifer, if she cares to join me.

The upside to changing months is that I get new pictures of Mary-Kate and Ashley.
