A Day in the Life
March 30, 2012
So I'm looking into getting an apartment. Or rather, Stephy and I are looking into it together. I hope we're able to, because frankly, I'm ready to move out of this house with my family and spread my metaphorical wings! (It also helps that I'll have my own room...) I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my sisters to death. But I don't want to live with them forever. (Ew)
Job's going well, imo. It's fun playing with the little one. She's very sweet. She got a little on the fussy side yesterday, but she's getting over a brief cold, so that's to be expected. It's nothing I can't handle. In all, she's an absolute delight to play with, and the other children adore her. She's in love with Andy, who often makes funny faces at her and pretends to try to eat her arm (she, like all children, finds this hysterical).
I'm happy to be doing this job, actually. I would get into child care on a permanent basis if I thought I could handle it, but sadly, I don't have near enough patience and I'm not nearly kind enough to do that. Being paid does help with the patience, though... "You're being paid, you're being paid, you're being paid..." <--- self mantra. XDD
On a personal growth level, I think I'm growing up a little... (maybe) I mean, I know my own faults and limits, and in dating my beloved (despite how far apart we are for the moment) I am also learning about relationships. Not even just the romantic kind.
Sometimes, you have to stay up with your friend when you say you will, despite how tired you are. Because even though that new job is tiring, you need to spend time with them. Sometimes communicating is good (and other times, not so much- details can occasionally be glossed over in favor of keeping the other person happy). That is not to say that lying is right. It's not. In fact, more often than not, lying will come back to bite you in the ass, and I simply don't care to be bitten in the ass (Karma likes singling me out a lot).
Also, people take time. Talking to them, knowing them, understanding them. That takes thought. That takes feeling. Bottling it up won't help either of you, but neither will weeping about the little things. Sometimes you gotta suck it up and bear it, and then sometimes it's okay to spill the beans. ^^
On another note, my writing may need work (and research). Especially research. So here's to researching! *lifts coffee mug* I need to look into things, shape things in my head and on paper before I actually start writing. Maybe toy around with the characters in other scenarios first.
Gods, I wish I was as good at story telling as Ger. ><
