Today's been amazing! I got to work and instantly, I was loaded with stuff to do! I had to make sure a certain family (and some cops!) got into a meeting at the right time, on top of that we have a science fair going on tonight, on top of that we have TWO retirements, one of someone who was pretty popular and then on top of THAT the print center down stairs had me do projects until 3 PM! Staples in, staples out! It's been a busy, fairly exhausting day and I finally get to do what I want now! So I guess I'll tell you what's been going on!
Ow... my leg is hurting...
Okay! I think the biggest thing of note is that Mermaid got her mission call! Gaaaaah! Pittsburgh Pennsylvania! I (kind of) called it! I said George, Pennsylvania, east coast. I've been taking kickboxing (two lessons so far with three to go) and have been reading and actually getting stuff done pretty well! It's been over a year and I'm FINALLY coming to terms with my job. I actually am starting to enjoy it. I get to read and write and the other day, the time actually FLEW!
While I was doing what you may ask? Weeeellll... I was writing scripts! Not just any scripts! I intentionally picked out a notebook/soul for scripts only and have been writing one about the Geniuses! An old game my friends and I used to play (Mermaid and Imp) and it's been fun revisiting the characters and writing a story with them.
I also wrote a letter to Wolfman and some relatives up north, but haven't sent them yet. Need stamps and addresses. I'm proud of my ending on Wolfman's, which was Hungarian (thank you Google Translate) for "Always, always proud of you. Your sister, Nymph" I hope he likes it.
I watched my first couple episodes of Friends, the sitcom so many people seem to adore. It is pretty good so far. I only have like three days to finish the whole first season though .... smh....
I gotta get something good for Atlantean for Valentines Day! Wanna know my current hope/thought for it? I wanna get him an awesome Viking cape! Yes, we are that kind of couple. I just need to figure out how much and what style. I think it would be a really cool gift that would come out of the blue that he'd really like.
I also went to go with Jinn and Brownie to Sylph's new house and made soap with her mom! That was fun and we should get be getting the soap tomorrow or sometime!
Okay, I was really happy and positive this morning, but now I'm burning out. Closing it out here. Peace.

January 18th
So I'm kind of hurt.
I don't think I'm a person who gets easily offended, but I'm just sitting here kind of wounded, kind of hurt, and I just think I need to talk about it a little bit.
My sweet, sweet mother-in-law took me to work today and yesterday because once again our car is in the shop and she's been kind enough to set aside the time to do so. Let's get one thing straight. My mother in law is an incredible person. Incredible. She constantly gives of herself and never thinks anything of it. I don't even think she lives her own life at this point. On top of taking care of a (semi) grumpy, hangry, extremely ambitious, constantly overworked, constantly tired and sick husband and an aging mother who is in some last stages of dementia, she also babysits almost full time for Jinn and takes care of Unicorn almost constantly. The woman never thinks of herself. She's humble, she gives and gives and gives and gives. This was actually one of the reasons I think I'd been a little hesitant to ask her for a ride.
On our ride over, we just chatted periodically, and then she said something to the affect of, "You know, father-in-law and I were talking about you, and we were just saying that while you don't have a baby and while you're working part time, it's nice for a woman to have a skill or trade to fall back on and we were just talking about how it would be good for you to maybe look into getting one of those one or two-year degrees."
I tried to take it on the chin good naturedly and asked her if she had any suggestions since I'd been looking into a lot of them, but she didn't know. I tried to shrug it off, since it seriously was a concern, I'm sure. It's a common thing parents think about their children. I get it.
But then I just got really hurt by it, and I'm trying to analyze why.
I think it's the fact that I feel like they're ashamed of me. They see me sleep into long hours, they ask if I'm getting full time work. They see us go off to have fun, how I sometimes have attitude at family gatherings, how we obviously aren't currently having children, etc. I know they're good people, but I feel like she was judging me, wondering whether I was going to do something with my life. And I just felt kind of defeated because education is expensive, and I felt like I'd been educating myself these past two years, but I guess I really hadn't, because I still had no degree. I could have had a degree by now. Heaven knows I've had the time. Just not the money, and I never seemed able to find a degree that suited me or called to me. I don't know why, but I'm also ruing God a little bit. Why didn't the perfect degree fall into my lap? Why, after all these years of searching and trying to educate myself, was I still not useful to society, to my husband, to my family? I had tried to not let this job dim my spark, and I constantly felt like I was wasting my time, but now on top of that, I was being gently chastised for not going through with it. I'm not mad at my mother-in-law in the slightest, because she's right. But it still just kinda hurt.
I'm starting to think maybe I should just settle for a degree and just go with it even if I don't particularly like it. It's scary that this is coming in a time of where both Atlantean and I are feeling kind of baby hungry. Have I really thrown away all my chances? Is it just going to become impossibly hard from here? Is there no way to do this but to go into crippling debt, forcing us to stay at home on most weeknights because we have no money to do anything fun whatsoever?
I just never thought a family so forgiving and loving was thinking that about me. And I feel a little chastised.
I guess I thought I was starting to do well, but not in the world's eyes of degrees and applied sciences. I knew that. I guess I felt that I could rely in the Lord to help Atlantean have the good jobs and for me to make up the difference in so-so jobs along the way. I'm an intelligent person, I really am and I loved school when I was in it, but I felt like I'd been looking. I felt like I'd been trying.
It just turns out I still have nothing to show for it.
And... it's not a good feeling.
I don't want to go crying to Atlantean about this, because I feel like I've been doing that a lot lately, and the poor man doesn't need to have me throwing myself at him every time a single thing goes wrong. I'm such a victim with him because he lets me be. It's wonderful and a safe place to be, but I want to be better and stronger than that.
I guess I could blame it on my period. Which is kind of cool, because I actually might be having a period now. This morning there was some blood. Which means, the medication, might? be working! Which once again brings us back to the baby question, which now has been muddled a little by my mother-in-law's comment. I also kinda figured when I was home alone with the baby is when I could start doing online school when I got bored. I still don't know on what though, that's the hard part.
I'm sorry for this rambling, I guess I just needed to work through this, and I do feel better.
I guess I could say, "I'm doing me and figuring myself out," but gall I hate that excuse. And while I'm getting education elsewhere, in this world, it just doesn't compare to a degree. So I don't know if should make excuses or just feel a little ashamed. A little of both I think. It's not a sin to reevaluate and feel guilt every once in a while. As long as you do something about it.
Yesterday was crazy. We had a bomb threat at Jordan High that the school was evacuated for, so I was taking calls on the limited information as it trickled in at parents who were authentically concerned. I only had two mean calls out of probably a hundred, which was nice. The lady from Communications who is supposed to prepare us for this stuff, quickly sent out an email with a single line of information and then came running down the hall yelling, "Activate the phone tree!" Thankfully, I had seen the email and was already ahead of her. I didn't put the receiver down from my ear for thirty minute stints for about three hours. Even when my screen went blank, I just waited a couple seconds, because I knew there would be more coming soon. I felt pretty good because the ladies on the phone tree commented later that I was picking them up so rapidly that they hardly could get to most of them. I was really trying to get to each person individually, taking as many as I could, and trying to take my time to explain to them as well as I could and not rushing. I felt like some kind of leader, ruler, queen that was trying to assure my people, one at a time of the situation and what I knew.
Then, that night, Atlantean and I canceled both of our classes and stayed home. He willingly read half my script and actually liked it. We're deciding whether I'm going to try to pull it off this summer, and the main question I was asking was whether or not kids could pull of what I'd written. He seemed to like it. He actually said he liked the names, which are a big concern, because I know the kids are going to make fun of them. I am having trouble working with my songwriters, both of which are not getting back to me as fast as I would like.
I also volunteered to work at ESL center, which is an English Second Language place I would like to try and teach at. I thought that might be a nice skill, and I've always been interested ever since I found out about it when Brownie was looking for places to volunteer. The baby question is still up in the air, though even Atlantean is getting a little hungry lately. And I would still love to do some fun stuff this year, like WWOOF after ESL as well. Anyway. Just dreams. Babies would change all of that.

January 2nd
So today was kinda fun!
Let me quickly recap what happened over the holidays. We stayed over at my parents house for Christmas so we could wake up and open presents with other people. We saw Atlantean's family for Christmas Day. Then on New Years, we went to a party at my parents again. My break was long and a little rough at the beginning. After a day of doing absolutely nothing (knowing it would be followed with 4 days of nothing) and knowing it would be me all alone and I shouldn't go driving around or spending frivolous money. So I stayed at home and got kinda depressed after my first day, but Atlantean stayed home the day after Christmas and he got New Years Day off, so it wasn't all bad. I also made like ten gnomes worth of syrup. A gnome is a green glass bottle (I've been saving like all year) and then adding a red felt triangle for a hat, a pink pom pom for a nose and then a patch of batting for a beard. It was a cool Christmas thing that I could finally pass out to loved ones! I felt like an accomplished woman and we hardly spent any money on Christmas gifts for people! Whoot whoot!
We did have multiple suicides this season. It seems like this holiday time is when people get pushed over the edge. There was one at Atlantean's work, Atlantean's cousin, and then, when I got back to work this morning, my coreceptionist said her break had been all about her friend who had committed suicide and had no family, so she and her family were planning his funeral. It was very sad.
We got some great presents! I bet I could say them all, and I like the minimalism. (atleast for me) I got a new shirt and dress, which I picked out. I got 2nd season of 30Rock, The Great Mouse Detective, and Coco and Improv Nation (a book). I got a loofa on a stick from my brother and a fur shawl, and Curse of Strahd (D&D book) and the corresponding DM's screen from Atlantean. (We have missed D&D so much over this past December, we had to cancel because of so many schedule conflictions, but are starting back up this Friday! And Aos Si is DMing! Imagine that! Proud moment.) We received two more small cast irons, money, chocolate and tickets to Evermore!! from Atlantean's family. It was a good haul. Also, did I mention that I won our Doughy Maker at my work's White Elephant and then at my work's bingo, I won exactly what I wanted on the table which was a ship's wheel keychain for Atlantean (I stuffed it in his stocking), a set of massage equipment (score!), and a beautiful red wood grain looking plate. (my very first own non-Christmas themed display/dinner plate! I love it) I also got Atlantean Bismuth from Natur, a big barrel-shaped mug Siegfried's delicatessen Jinn and I went to downtown after visiting Decades, and a DC bead-it (perler beads) set that I had picked up when Brownie and I had gone black Friday shopping at Joanns for our sewing machine.
I sent my cousin my extra Great Comet Piano book because I already had one and it's a very obscure musical (especially for the piano...) but she texted me saying she appreciated it! That was nice. I've always kinda tried to get close to her.
Recently went pants shopping! Like, yesterday... I've been putting on some weight. But you know what was weird, as I looked in that mirror, all close up, trying on pants that were too small or much too large, I didn't feel ashamed of my body hardly at all. It was a nice feeling and I stayed under budget AND got two (two!) pairs of white pants, which I was super stoked about. One of them is SO white, I put my underwear and Elvis Presley to shame. I'm wearing it right now. So pure...
Brownie came over and we learned to knit! But not normal knitting ;) She bought yarn with loops and I bough thick chunky yarn and she learned to finger knit (pretty easy) and I learned to arm knit (I totally failed) I learned the process and the moves and such, but the execution, not so much. We called it a "spiders web" but that also is too kind for it. It was pretty bad. I'm thinking of unraveling the whole thing and trying again.
My new play is ... existent. Kind of. Lol. Spriggan is being kind of difficult getting songs to me, so I took advantage of even me just seeing him and took him down to a piano where I recorded the sound and the movements of his hands for the two songs (more like one and a half) he's done so far. Looks like I'm going to have to either try my own hand or find someone else.
I got a new calling! I am in the Relief Society Member Committee (basically a Party Planning Committee). I guess I did so well on the Christmas Party with communication and execution, that I come highly recommended (lol). I'm actually really excited. It should be a fun calling.
BUT I wanted to talk about today! Because today was fun! Today is the day I've finally come back to work after a long winter break! Unfortunately, our white car, Aria, has been having more issues, and Atlantean drove our new car, Murky to work today, so I was supposed to walk. But this morning, when I woke up at ten. (-_-) I realized something. I could take Aria to Tunex and then walk from there. The pros: Aria would get more time at Tunex than she would if we dropped her off an hour before closing, which is when we get off work. Also, I would be able to drive halfway to work. Cons: I didn't know how well I remembered how to drive stick shift. So, with half an hour to go to decide whether or not I was going to be walking or not, I took Aria for a ride around the block to see if I still had it. I had it! I could still drive her just fine! Though it was true that she was not having the best time starting. Atlantean had claimed that she was just stopping suddenly when he was coming home, and we had taken her into Tunex once already. They wiped down one thing and said it should be better. So I set aside some time, did the dishes and then drove Aria down to Tunex this morning! I was pretty proud of myself! And when Atlantean called, I told him, and he was pretty proud of me too! Some of my greatest accomplishments this year were learning piano and stick shift! Woohoo!
What 2019 holds for the Atlanteans:
January we'll be doing Kickboxing and Sword Fighting. Fortunately for Atlantea, the Sword fighting class prices look reasonable. Unfortunately for me (and based on a phone call I had this morning) I don't think I'll be continuing this year. What I had said I was willing to pay for them annually is what they want me to pay MONTHLY. Heckin no. With car payments, rent, groceries and pending car insurance we can't afford that. But I'm really excited to see Atlantean get some sword stuff in. He's excited too. He deserves this. A nice class actually on something he's interested in.
The plan currently is to move to Logan in September and save up $6,000 before that so we can maybe pay for two semester. We'll rent up there. I'll go with English Technical Writing so we can be done in four semester and I can have a skill of sorts. Hopefully (or God willing) we don't get pregnant or terribly in debt. Doing our best! I would not be upset if we got pregnant, just foiled since we had plans. I am excited to have kids! But people tell me you have kids forever. This is the time to get your education and be a little freer.
We have other plans! But we will see what 2019 brings! Happy New Years!!
