I am officially OLD
Okay, so perhaps when I said that I was going to write and blog more, I didn't quite intend "monthly," but dudes, the past couple of weeks have been out of control at the office. I've just been doing a lot of crazy overtime (in the office til 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday!) and basically sleeping when I'm not working.
But I'm happy to report that everything feels 5,000% better in my life as of late. Personal problems seem to be resolving themselves nicely, and I've started on anti-depressants, which have just been wonderful for me. I can't believe I never tried anything like this before. Such a mood-booster, even if they make me kind of complacent. And sleepy. Yawn. I feel so in touch with my generation...today I officially start my 30s, I'm white-collar, and I'm on anti-depressants. Whoo.
Yes, I am officially OLD today. 30! Actually, I'm not so angst-filled over it. Life is actually looking up in a real way for the first time in about a year...that's something to celebrate. Plus, my friends treated me to a fabulous party last Saturday featuring a photo scavenger hunt at Lincoln Park Zoo and dinner at La Creperie, my favorite restaurant in the city. Tonight Sam is taking me to see Morrissey, and really, is there a better artist to see on one of those depressing milestone birthdays? And tomorrow I'll be blowing out the candles on the birthday cake Matt is getting for me, AND he sent the most lovely roses to the office today.
PLUS...I'm seriously so stoked, everyone. In March I will be visiting one of my VERY FAVORITE PEOPLE ON THE PLANET in Prague, and we will be dorking out superlatively seeing Nine Inch Nails in Vienna. OMG! Everytime work is sucking or I'm stuck in traffic, I just think, Prague and Vienna...Prague and Vienna...Prague and Vienna...I seriously can't wait. The only way the prospect of this trip could be any more exciting is if we can convince another of my very favorite people on the planet to join us. We shall see...
All right, I've got to apply nose to grindstone. My ass is going to be WORKING all Thanksgiving weekend. In between gorging and turkey-induced naps, that is.
