Crabby Cakes

It's Friday night at 11pm. I'm in my recliner, exhausted, watching 'What Not To Wear' on TLC.

And i'm crabby. I'm tired, and I think i'm in shock. Today was my last day at work. I have spend a year slaving at a job where I was never particularly appreciated, and often felt like smacking my head against a wall. I've finally procured a new job, and am at the beginning of an oasis taking the form of two weeks of vacation. Yet I don't feel excited. I feel tired, like, 6 months worth of tired. Tired I didn't realize was there.
So I came home and did nothing. I watched tv and laid on the couch. I did not go to the gym, despite eating approximately one billion calories in celebratory food this afternoon. I attempted to organize my coffee table instead of vacuuming and dusting, and was snippy at my mom on the phone for no apparent reason.
(Thankfully, she is used to this. She should be, because I get it from her-where I get most of my, lets call them- idiosyncrasies. )

I did not expect this on my last day, since i've been looking forward to it for so long. But in the end, I was really sad saying goodbye to my friends there. The job might have sucked, but having good people to suffer along with you makes the road easier to travel. Even saying goodbye to my clients was kind of hard. I know they will have to adjust to the changes, which is hard on anyone, more-so for people already in a fragile state.
I also have no idea what to do with all my free time. I mean, I have goals. I have things I want to Do. But like, now that it's here- I feel somewhat overwhelmed.
Let's make a list of things i'm going to do:
1. Call Penn to order the recommendations needed for the new job.
2. Call my doctor to drop off the physical form (basically beg them to get me in)
3. Go to Independence Hall, and get there early enough to get a ticket inside. Bypass the Liberty Bell, of course (what a whore of a monument).
4. Try at least 2 new recipes.
5. Clean my apartment.
6. Go on a date.
7. Walk across the Ben Franklin Bridge, and back, obviously.
8. Read two books.
9. Go to the gym four times a week
10. Take a trip to DSW to check out some new shoes.

Ok. Well that clears things up. This should be doable in two weeks. I will be a new woman when I start my new job!

Now for the bed.
