You win some, you lose some

Today's a bit of a bummer day for me. Not entirely sure why. I'm exhausted. I haven't really slept at all and I've been so busy with work and the house that I haven't had any time to relax at all. I think everything is really starting to catch up to me. Here's what I do know. This week, I found out that a friend of mine is apparently getting married for reasons unknown to me. This is a major shock especially because of who it is. I have an incredibly bad feeling about it but it's hard to express disapproval without being a dick. I just hope I'm wrong. I also found out today that a good friend of mine is dating a guy she broke up with many times and moved out of state to get away from. She's now dating him long-distance. He's going to ruin her life. This is a fact. She knows my feelings on the matter. She agrees with me, yet she continues to self-destruct. I worry about everyone but I can't try to babysit everyone anymore. We're all adults and decisions are ours to make. Mistakes are ours to make. I wish I could protect everyone and make sure everyone's happy but I can't and I need to learn to accept that. I can say that but I'm still sitting here worrying and being bummed that there's nothing I can do. Is it weird that I care so much? I don't know.

I had grand plans of being productive today as I have the day off and tomorrow as well. I haven't gotten a single thing done yet. I feel really bad. Dan's been busting his ass to get stuff done around here and I've been at work so much and so tired and overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that we have. I know I've done a lot but it doesn't feel like it. I'm hoping tonight we'll actually get to spend some time together since our schedules don't work out very well together. Tomorrow I'm going to meet Tia after she's done with work and go to the Arts Fest and I'll have Dan meet us when he's done. There is awesome food at the Arts Fest and also this guy's work.
We got a housewarming gift in the mail today from Ric. It's Bacon and Pickle bandages. Pretty sweet. Ric sends the best, most random gifts to us in the mail. Once he sent us a bunch of packs of monster trading cards for no reason. Love it!

Not that most people care, but I found out today that Stone Temple Pilots are playing in Pittsburgh in August. They've long been my favorite band ever and a lot of people stopped caring about them in the 90s. Whatever. I love them. I need to go see them again. Dan's never seen them before and he's always wanted to. This must happen.

The house is coming along. It took forever to get everything in here but now we're getting through things pretty well. I can't wait until it's actually comfortable and we don't have to climb over boxes to get from point A to point B. Dan and I have a lot of work this week both at work and at home.

Today was my first day as a supervisor. It really is sad that a part-time job at the mall turned out to be the most I've actually used my college degree. I guess we'll see what happens. It was weird to have to tell people what to do when previously, they were the ones helping me learn and working alongside me. I hope I can be a good "boss."
