Whimzy busy

I'm a whimsical person. I get ideas in my head and whether they stick around or not, I usually end up fulfilling them sooner or later. Things pop into my mind and if I like it enough, I'll fulfill it whenever I feel like it. Sometimes, things that I don't think I really want to do, I end up doing anyway because it's an experience and I don't want to miss out on anything if I can help it. It's like I'm inadvertently making a bucket list and checking things off in the most random fashion. Sometimes I go ahead and do them on my own or I end up dragging a person or a whole group with me.

I find fun activities and I decide to do them. I've been to concerts. I have been in bars. I've gone to amusement parks. I adore all kinds of museums. I'm always on the lookout for new restaurants to try. I love new arts and crafts. I want to do it all. Remember that random thought as a child of how cool would it be to drive a big rig truck around? I'm getting to do that at my work. I'm learning to be a switcher where I'm learning to drive the trailers around in the yard and moving them between bay doors and such. I've recently decided to throw myself a Hobbit themed birthday for no reason because I want to.

I don't like being bored!

Stitch needs desserts!

So obviously I have a problem with taking on too much. I have so many people relying on me and I hate to let anyone down by my inability to help them. I have to constantly remind myself that I can't help anyone if I don't help myself also. I have to remember that it's okay to say no sometimes, that I don't need to take on the burdens of the world. It's a constant struggle for me to be okay with everything enough that I feel I can relax because if left to my own devices, I always have too much to do. I have to remind myself that I'm no good to anyone while stressed and snapping at everyone around me. I need to be calm if I want to get things done and overdoing things will not help my stress levels. It's a lesson I will have to keep telling myself and a lesson that I make sure to pass to others around me.

More to the family

It's September and the insanity begins! Summer has ended and school has begun but this year, we decided to add a new challenge to things. Well, actually it's a new family member but not like that. We got a kitty! His name is Ray. I call him Bugger when he's being a little scamp and he's my Love Bug when he's all purrs. He goes from 90 to 0 in seconds from pouncing all over the house to suddenly being a nuisance with his insistence to cuddle. I adore him. I do believe he adores me as he refuses to let me work and keep scratching up my legs when he demands my attention by trying and barely jumping up into my lap. 

I have a full house with a husband, a child, a roommate, a dog and a kitten. I never did like boring.  lol
