Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

charliesmumI'm having one of those Sundays, where I feel like I'm loaded down with extra gravity or something. Can't seem to get motivated to do much. Friday was spent drinking too much wine with some friends, and playing this really fun card game called Phase Ten. Saturday was spent drinking more wine (though not quite as much) with a different group of friends and playing this silly game called "Likes and Gripes" that my friend had. It's a board game. You write down your likes and or gripes of different catagories, and try to match answers. It was fun. Now however, I'm in a state of, well, hungoverness, I guess, from too much wine, and not enough sleep. But that's what Sunday's are for, right?
Stayed home from work on Friday. Wasn't feeling well, and frankly just couldn't stomach going there, with everything that is going on. So, while at home I got a call from the place where I interviewed. Didn't get the job I'd interviewed for, but they still want to consider me for the as yet unavailable position in Marketing. Now if I still believed in Destiny, I'd be feeling much more confident about that job, but as it is, I'm just taking it a day at a time. I do think it is just as well I didn't get the admin job I applied for. I think my biggest problem career-wise is I keep taking positions that I'm not good at in departments/companies that I have no real interest in. I think I'd be fine as an admin for an accounting department, but I can barely count to ten without using my fingers, and so it really isn't where my strengh lies.So maybe it is time for me to just take the time and find something I actually like and will actually be good at. I just have to hope that our financial situation will just be okay. We'll see. Oh, and I did send my resume out for this temporary position that looks promising and seems to fit into the 'waiting for the good job' mode, so hopefully the Universe is actually working with me.
Meanwhile, my mom did offer to help me pay for a trip to Vegas to see my sister get wed. It will be my Christmas present. And I found a flight that was only $186 round trip. Non-stop flight and everything. So Charlie and I are going. Sadly my husband can't go, but since he and my parents hate each other, it's probably just as well. And I will get to see my sister get married, and I'll see Vegas, too, which is nice.
Am still working on my mystery story, and it is coming along nicely. I've passed 5,000 words, and I really like the way it is coming together. I feel good that I am being creative again, even if what I'm doing is ultimately crap.
In other news, Charlie's friend's adoption is being finalized this week, and his mommies are very, very happy. It happened much more quickly then they expected, so they are glad. They will be having a party next Saturday, and yesterday Charlie and I bought a gift with his friend's new name engraved on it. It is very cute - it's a little keepsake type box with different sports balls on it - football, baseball, etc, with a star in the middle for his name.
Now The funniest thing is, now Charlie wants to change his name. He seems to think if he does so, he'll also get presents. I've tried to explain exactly what adoption means, but it's hard to explain to a 7 year old. And the other funny thing is, since D. had two mommies, Charlie seems to think that if he gets another daddy, that's adoption - two parents of the same gender. I said what is your new daddy's name and he thought for a bit and said "Steve".

It's funny Charlie chose the name Steve for his new daddy. ;)
