3. First day today.
4. I slept like crap last night.
5. Wired, not nervous.
6. Will be sawing logs by 10:30 tonight.
7. If you know me, that's like 7:30 in dog years. ;-)

10. But I'll get there.
11. And my office-mates are patient, and really nice.

22. Maybe magic will happen while I'm at work.

  7. Settling into a new job is a bit of a stressful time, but no doubt you will be at home very quickly. Can't wait to see what lovely thing you will create next. I get much inspiration from you. Thank you for sharing!

  8. Thought of you today so glad that it went well. I didn't sleep well either (but the first day of school isn't for a while - I'm a teacher ;))
    Hope things continue to improve for you AND you sort stuff out with the cable company. Doesn't seem to matter who you use (at least up here in Canada) they can all be a pain sometimes.

  9. That company is mighty lucky to have you. Joy for you!

  12. Congrats, Debbie, that is all fantastic!!

  13. So glad it's going well! But, isn't the Time Warner thing over CBS? My BrightHouse (Tampa Bay rendition) is receiving CBS fine. I just switched over to Letterman to double check, a-ok with the little CBS eye down in the corner? Anyway, so glad things are looking up! K

  14. After seeing the Great British sewing bee, I am done with project runway drama.
    I tried watching PR last week and I gave up - too much drama, not enough sewing pizazz.

  15. I'm so happy for you. Sleep well and have a great week. I always have to go pretty much straight to bed the first week in a new job.

  16. Congrats on your new job! Yay for being able to buy new shoes! :oD

  17. Wonderful news Debbie :-) Glad to hear that things are moving along for you. Thoughts across the miles .... Flo in Germany.

  18. So happy for you that things are going in the right direction now!

  19. Why is it that we sleep badly when we so desperately want to be fresh for the next day?? Oh well, day 1 down, good luck for the rest of the week

  20. Congratulations on rejoining the ranks of the shoe-enabled! And good luck with the new job. I'm sure you'll do great.

  21. PS, I only watch PR these days so I can get the inside jokes in Tom & Lorenzo's recaps.

  22. Congrats on the new job--been pulling for you!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yay!! Sounds like a great first day to me. As for Time Warner -- everyone hates them. And strangely enough, it doesn't seem to matter if you get residential, commercial or telecom from them, either, which is sort of comforting in a strange way. They treat all their customers the same way. :(

  24. Congrats on your new job! :-)

  25. Love your random thoughts. Happy for you and your new job. New shoes are certainly important. Sorry you missed Dexter. I don't want Breaking Bad or Dexter to end but what's a fellow to do? Both are great series.

  26. Always love a random post. So glad you're back at permanent work. I take it that you're not doing graphic work but legal.

    DH and I are watching PR. It's like an accident. It's hard to turn away. As always, it's hard to keep all of them straight at first. Now that we've gotten free of some of the MOST dramatic participants, maybe we'll settle down? Maybe?

  27. Debbie, you sound like yourself again. Of course, you are suppose to be pooped after little sleep at night and a first day on the job. Congratulations on finding a job with patient and nice co-workers! I hate Bright House negotiations and Project Runway (only watched a little of one episode and said good-bye). I love movies and buying new shoes!!

  28. Transitions are tough! Hopefully, you'll find your groove quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  29. It seems like this is a big transition year for many of us, myself included. Good luck in your new venture! If you keep writing, I'll keep reading!

  30. Hi Debbie!! I just featured you on my Wednesday Showcase post. Please put your OOORAH wallet back up on Etsy!

  31. Happy, Happy for you....congrats. I want to see The Butler, too. But I don't like going to movies alone. :(

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hooray Hooray I hope you are starting to feel "normal"

    ReplyDelete
  33. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! New job. YAYAYAYAYAY!

    New shoes? Definitely :)

  35. Hooray for the new job! Love your happy dance (previous post). Hope you get some meaningful sewing room time this weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh, and I hate my cable provider, too, even though it's NOT TimeWarner. They all charge too much.

Thank you for each and every comment. I appreciate them all, but I have to be honest and let you know that I'm usually bad about answering questions. I hope you understand that there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I want to do.
