Tuesday:
Today is my birthday, which is always a cause of a great deal of mixed emotions. I think of the bdays of my childhood, which were pretty much fun-filled and wonderful, laced with impatience of having to wait a whole another year to be older. Now it is this day is laced with anxiety and fear and a superhuman effort to ignore facts. If you just don't think about it isn't happening!
Applying for more unavailable jobs and am seriously considering begging a horrible rich woman to let me join her ever-expanding, expendable staff to take care of the minutiae details so important to her life. She and her second in command constantly work with negative deadlines and the assumption that her minions operate through osmoses. But hey, I can deal with a bit of punishment, which seems only fitting for having slacked off for so long. UGH!
Saw 2 movies this week, Icelandic movie: Noi Albinoi (Noah the Albino) which was just wonderful and Monster which was surprisingly good. But overall a disappointing selection these days, even fewer reasons to leave my house. I sit around so much that my butt is getting totally flat and nasty. It is too cold to go for a walk and nothing compelling to pull me out.
Totally screwed up my non-smoking since I ran out of nicotine gum and the new supply hasn't arrived yet AND a friend gave me a carton of cigarettes! It is a conspiracy. Nicotine gum is ridiculously expensive here, $35 for 48 pieces (and I chew about 12 a day), in Iceland it is $20 for 84 pieces! I know I know, $35 is not much compared to the price of cigarettes, it is just seems like a lot all at once.
Life goes on.
