Writers block has given me a big ol' case of the meh's lately. I've tried to rack my brain to come up with something to get me from "meh" to over sharing too much on here but usually during the "racking" time I just end up falling asleep on the couch. Something has been zapping my energy as of late and most of the time I feel like I'm in zombie mode. Some days I could seriously just nod off while sitting at a stop light on my drive into work.
Since I've just now decided to do Thursday Latelies this week I figured I'd post my WIWW pic that I was to... I don't know...bored to share yesterday. My WIWW posts aren't known for their superb photography but this week's photo seems to lack even a bit of worthiness to it to post. I love the outfit so that's not the reason. I think the problem was I didn't have enough time to get more than 4 photos. There's no detail shots either. It just is what it is. I know now you are all so excited to see it, aren't you. Well, here it is...

Cyrus is chilling on the bed in the background
and that blur attacking me is Remington (of course).
He was in all of my 4 shots but 1. LOL, so I really didn't have a lot to work with this week.

I feel like I've been massively busy lately, while at the same time having nothing to do. How that makes sense, I don't know, but it does. At least to me anyway. Between being in zombie mode & running around doing nothing I really didn't feel like I had anything to do my Thursday Latelies about. I know the whole point of TL is to find the little things to be thankful for & to remind ourselves of the good in our lives but sometimes my brain is just too numb feeling to be able to think clearly enough to concentrate on something little worth sharing. I know my thinking on that is totally messed up but it all rolls back to feeling all meh about everything.
This week I was just going to let Thursday slip by and hope nobody noticed me slinking around while trying to blend into the background with nothing to share. But then I felt guilty since I've committed myself to Thursday Latelies and I believe in the reasoning behind them. I look forward every week to watching Bex, Linda/Rose a la Mode, Shelly/GS Lillian, & Jenny/The Imagination of Jenny Lynne share their loves/gratefulness for the week. I always feel a little bit lighter & things seem a bit brighter after watching what they have to share. They don't always have something earth shattering to share so why do I feel like I need something substantial to share? Positivity breeds positivity, right?!, so I need to start putting my share of positivity out there.
This week I am happy to share that it is my 14 year anniversary at work. Yes, I typed that right... 14 years. It's insane, I know. What can I say except that I don't like change, and I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up so what I currently have is a job.
It's a job that pays the bills. It's a job that I am grateful for because I still have a place to go to to sit for 8 (9 counting lunch) hours a day. I may not LOVE my job, it's not exciting, it's not glamorous, its not going to save the world but it IS a job. Unlike so many other people out there I am lucky enough to have a job no matter how I may feel about it some days. Believe it or not, at 14 years I'm not even close to some of the seniority around here. Some have been working here since the doors opened, 25+ years. Now that is insane.
In case you are wondering I am an Insurance Agent and I work for a family owned insurance agency who has 2 offices in the Valley. I don't ever divulge who I work for because I made the mistake of doing so once (back in my Myspace days, before I had a "life" online). The results were some crazy freak (crazies aren't always strangers) tracked me down through my work info & my boss ended up getting involved. While they didn't get the intended results they were looking for, my boss didn't need to be involved & it was a headache I don't ever wish to repeat. If that means I miss out on opportunities to drum up business then so be it. Safety first.
Although today is a bit warm and I've shed my sweater & wish I could do so with my tights, I am also pretty darn grateful for sweaters and tights this week. It's finally getting cold here in AZ and I have been snuggled up in some of my favorite sweaters. And I've been able to still wear my new Mossimo Skater dresses from Target because of sweaters & tights.
