How do you feel? I don't

I'm going to be taking on my boss's job for a long period while she goes on leave. People have come up to me and asked, "How do you feel?" "Aren't you excited?" What a great oppurtunity! Aren't you thrilled?"

Every time, I graciously smile and say a generic answer, "Sure! It will be exciting!" or something like that. But I don't really feel anything... yet. If I feel ANYTHING at all, it would be a feeling of anticipation and dread at the same time. Think of it like a deer before he gets hit by an oncoming vehicle. He knows the car is coming, but there's nothing he can do about it. Sounds rather grim, but it's realistic to me.

But don't interpret that as underlying fear or nervousness. Sure, that's a part of it, but not all. It's just getting ready for inevitability. I'll do my job the best I can (as I keep telling myself) and work through it. I just have to believe in myself and my abilities.

Let me say that again so I can get it in my head: I just have to believe in myself and my abilities!!!!

Happy Sunday

I'm hot.

Another bit of Trivia

Colin Firth was also from County Meath, Ireland. I thought he was a Brit too!

Jumbled

I did a TV jumble word puzzle that was in the newspaper tonight. It took forever, and some Googling, to figure out. The final answer was Pierce Brosnan. (Sorry if I spoiled it for people out there, but too bad.)

Turns out he was actually born in County Meath, Ireland. So James Bond, Remington Steele, the crappy singer from Mamma Mia, or however you know him, isn't actually British.


The mind boggles.

Not the Only One Staring at the Sun

Where did the Summer go? It's July already!

I spent most of it indoors in an office with no windows.

But things are gonna change. I'm gonna get back to normal again, or at least try to. I've been selfish with working too much and I lost track of things, like the sun. Something I've taken for granted. And I've also taken other important things for granted--- like Sport-o, my love.

Gotta have my time in the sun and the summer. Literally. I'll sit back and enjoy it while it's still here. But also take back those things I've seemed to lost temporarily, like my sanity and those who I depend on most.
