Friday Time Clock

Over at The Fluent Self, Havi has a weekly ritual that has become known as the Friday Chicken, a little check-in moment that started about a year ago. After years in the kitchen, and because we’re all about the march of time here, the idea of punching a time clock seemed like a good mental image to me. So here we go.
The good stuff this week:
The day job is almost back to normal, after weeks of drama and understaffing. The regular baker is back, which is great because a) he actually knows what the eff he’s doing, and b) he’s one of my best friends, and how many people get to work with their friends every day? I’m quite lucky. And two mega-Libras make a well-oiled machine, so productivity is cranking along also. What a relief.
The new apartment. It’s been a week now since I got it on Saturday, and I still don’t have a stick of furniture in it because everything is still in Florida, but it’s lovely and in a good neighborhood and exactly what I needed. With Uranus in the 4th I’m afraid to say it aloud, but I do hope I’ll be here for a while. I’m really tired of moving so often (three states and eight moves in four years).
It was my birthday! I had dinner out with my parents, talked to my friends, and got lots of food and the most amazing fuzzy blanket from Costco. It’s divine.
My friends- people have really come through for me while I’m getting set up in my new place. Dishes, moving help (what little I have to move)… plus one of my friends has loaned me a couple Sumos for my new apartment until I get settled, and they’re super comfortable… I couldn’t believe it. I’m not thinking about getting an enormous one instead of a regular couch, because they’re so great.
The hard stuff this week:
Still processing the end of my relationship; about three weeks past it now but it’s not really any less painful.
Balancing my desire to be a hermit right now with the feeling that “I should get out more”.
Having most of my things in storage makes me feel destitute. I don’t have a stick of furniture right now, although I have most of the kitchen things I need to function. his will be mostly solved by the end of the month, but right now it’s super frustrating to have a nice place and still feel like I’m camping.
I’ve been stressing out so I feel like a pimply teenager.
How was your week? Anything interesting?

mmm this week? With Jupitergoing direct,I am finding lots to get on my soapbox about. Frustrating week, though- ate really well & exercised heaps & put on 0.5kg-how does that happen?
By the way- I do feel for you- to feel in between is, I think, one of the hardest states to deal with.

Maybe you built muscle! That’s never a bad thing.
And yes, I suck at limbo. Always. Sigh.
