I know I have been bad about updating on this thing.  It’s not like I haven’t had the time, although work has been rather busy, but just haven’t been too inspired.  First, I’ll start with relevant updates:

• I have a kitty! He couldn’t be cuter.  After much debate, I’ve decided to name him Darcy.  Let’s face it people, I am very much on the fence about children in general, and if the guys I’ve dated are any indication of what the guys will be like who I will date in the future, then I’m probably going to opt out of the whole ‘having kids’ thing.  Darcy is one of my fave names, not only because of Pride and Prejudice, but also just in general, for a guy or a girl.  Also, I like ambiguous names, like Ashley for a boy (Gone w. the Wind) or Alex for a girl. Anyhoo, Darcy is a cutie, though she does like to bite at my feet and annoy me mightily while doing so, he’s a little keeper

• Secondly, my boss left the company.  The boss who hired me, who I really really enjoy. I’ve never had a better boss. So, it sucks.  So much of my job is about the people you work with. And I’m scared who they might get in here next.  I’ve had some very bad boss experience, and do not want to repeat them.
• The apartment transition is going well.  It’s like, a normal apartment now.  Countertops, couch, books shelves (and yes, I put the doors on aLLL by myself within like 3 hours one Friday night. Hmm that’s a bit sad sounding).  It’s looking good. There’s a few things still to do, getting a large mirror up, getting some shelving in the kitchen. 
• Also in apartment news, I’m not waking up with my heart pounding each night, convinced that a murdered has climbed up the three flights of stairs, taken out my air conditioners and slipped through the window. All to kill little me. I mean, I still want to get some pepper spray to keep next to my bed, but I’m less paranoid. Little Darcy has helped with that, because lord knows he will at least get stuck under said intruder’s feet, and probably painfully bite him, so yes, my little kitty will protect me.
• As for my love life, I know that I’ve said this in the past, but I really and truly just give up.  Maybe it’s because I’ve been dealing with what I now believe is a mentally retarded person for the last few months (with no pay off, just dum dee dum, this is clearly not going anywhere) but now I truly believe he may have slowness issues.  There are boring details of it, and I’m sure I could give some examples of all the back and forth and “what?” moments that have stumped myself and others, but I’ll spare you the time, and myself the additional ink which said person does not deserve. Needless to say, and yes, I wrote this in one of those emails to him, I have really hit my limit and am done.  It took me an embarrassingly long time to do so, but it’s happened. Sigh. So now I really and truly just give up.

Otherwise, I’m glad the summer is over.  This whole thing was a wash as far as I’m concerned. The weather was atrocious, it was mainly stressful w. apartment issues, I didn’t really go anywhere or take much time off and oh yeah, I went to the ER for the first time in my life and was at physical therapy for the remainder.  The autumn weather feels quite renewing and refreshing.
