These came way too easily. I mean I know I have a lot of good going on, but sometimes we just need that vent or say that fleeting desire for a change. Another Tuesday…
I would trade… that nagging feeling of being talked about for a straight up confrontation. For some reason, yesterday I just got this overwhelming fear that I wasn’t being trusted and that for some reason they were assuming actions they think I made. No, not work related (thank god) but still I feel like it is a gang up of two against one. They have someone to confide in 24/7 while I am here feeling like they think did something. I am so paranoid about stuff like this and now I feel super guilty. Gah!
I would trade... today being Tuesday for today being Friday. Four more sleeps people until I am in my own place, holy goodness come faster. 
I would trade… big girl problems for everything being taken care of. In reality, I kind of feel accomplished doing it all myself. Called the electrical company yesterday along with Comcast (kill me now), wrote out all the expenses and starting making lists of what to do before Friday. Sad part, I am fully packed. It will be one car load and that is all. 
I would trade… this slammed work week for last week’s work week. Why oh why did I not cherish last week’s slower pace? This week I work early today for an all day training and then a special presentation. Wednesday I work all day then have a night time field day for the students till 7. Thursday I have a mentor recruitment open house till 7 pm as well. Basically living at the office. That means all my packing will be done by tomorrow. 
I would trade… the shop each night because I have no room for food deal I have been swinging this past week. For me, this is tough because while I am spending a lot less on food, I am generally getting less food and not always too thrilled with what I get. I like being able to create a nice dinner but I have just been having to throw stuff together because of this. I mean bonus, I have saved money so therefore a big shop next Friday in my own place will feel so nice. 
I would trade… my mom’s constant ‘ooh I wish you were here’ to actually being there. She has been going into small stores at home like TJ Maxx and Bed Bath and Beyond to see what she can find for me. Every time she calls she says this same thing and I always say back I WISH I WAS THERE TOO. Miss her a whole lot. She has been so patient and loving lately, I would not be sane without her. 
I would trade… my lackluster social life for some fun. I hope that my own place will encourage me to do more things because right now I work, blog, sleep, run and repeat. Kind of lame. Even seeing a movie sounds super appealing.
I would trade… the no show packages (dang apartment complex) for some of my giveaway awesomeness to arrive. I have some great things coming that I have won but nothing has arrived yet. Sad face.
I would trade… my Sunday night for a rewind. We all have those nights that you just wish you could erase, enter that night. Eh, too much on my mind so luckily I am choosing to move on. Or at least I keep repeating this to myself so that I actually do! 
Don’t forget to enter the two giveaways I had Sunday! They close Wednesday at 7 pm, still plenty of time! Here and here.
Questions: What would you trade up this Tuesday? Any huge worries that are plaguing your mind right now?
I can totally relate about the work week. Whenever it is slow I need to cherish it because a fast pace can be so stressful and come on so unexpectedly! I could totally do with some fun too, work routine is starting to bore me and make me feel old already! I’m still young, I should be having fun right?!
I think fast paced weeks actually help you get through the week.
I would trade today for Friday too!
I think the concensus is Friday is what day it should be always. haha.
Ooooh, I wish today were Friday. I’d also trade some real mom time. I miss mine too!
Mom time is always what I look forward to, ps if you need guest posters I would love to do one!
I love that you measure things in sleeps! I do that too.
How I roll!
I would trade this Tuesday for next Tuesday…because it means I’m that much closer to being on holiday
Holidays are always what we count down to, couldn’t agree more.
I NEED it to be Friday! I can’t wait for my next vacation adventure
Aw man so jealous. I hope you get lots of relaxation.
I would trade nada – I leave for vacay tomorrow morning, so I’m pretty stoked!
Yay for you only having 4 more days til your own place!!!!!!!!!!!
Wahoooo vacation mind is where its at.
My momma has been gone for 2 weeks.. I miss her so much!!
Aw, hopefully you get to see her lots now that she is back or coming back.
I’d trade my ED for being a normal eater any day.
Something you can definitly achieve. I believe in you! hang in there, it does get better when you let yourself ignore those ED thoughts.
I would trade today for Saturday night. It’s the hubs only day off and I seriously countdown to that day everyyy single week.. and this week seems to be dragggingg!!
**girl, i’m so proud of you for taking care of the electric and cable! You should be happy you only have one car load, because moving a whole house load SUCKS!!!
Aw thanks! I want it to be saturday night for you too. I hope you have wonderful plans!
I would trade finishing my summer reading book, the 3 essays I have to write, six chapters of history textbook reading, and answering questions from a huge packet for another few weeks of summer.
Nothing is really plaguing me right now, although I am worried that if my sleeping problems don’t improve soon, by the time school starts up again, I am going to fall behind. :/
ok, school work in the summer is so bad. it is so hard to get your mind in that place because your body wants summer mode bad! I get that!
Ohhhh man I totally can relate to the horror that is dealing with Comcast. I have sooo many stories. I’m assuming you found an apartment?! Congrats!
Yes! I move this friday, pumped. comcast will be the death of me.
Congrats on finding a new apt! I love your new header.
Thank you, the lovely Maren did it.
Alex, you are awesome being so independent! I hate calling companies they can be such a pain.
Also, with regards to your social life, lets hang out! I am a little busy this weekend but if you would want to come over for dinner on Sunday or something let me know!
Hope you’re staying cool in this DC heat!
Melissa
I know, luckily it has been cooler which has been a big help. Let’s keep it this way for Friday when I lug all my stuff!
Man, I wish it was Friday. That would be amazing! Soon, and then you get your new apt!!!
So soon!
you are almost there! Hopefully your busy work week will make Friday get here faster!
That is the way it looks which is a big help!
I know what you mean about the busy weeks… ugh.
One day you are really going to miss only owning one car load of stuff. *sigh*
Haha I know! People are amazed by this.
Love that parking spot pic! That’s so true in DC! I would trade today for Friday when I’ll be flying to Texas for my sister’s bachelorette party – at least I have something to look forward to all week!
Oh man so freaking fun!
I hate feeling like people are talking about me behind my back- I’m always paranoid about that!
It is a terrible trait of mine, I think it really just plays tricks with me!
I would trade my 3 carloads of stuff for your 1! Seriously, how in the heck did accumulate so much crap?? (some of it is new furniture, granted, but still!)
Chin up sweetie!
Oh and I’m looking for some fun too! Being home is great, but I need a night out with people that are not my mom and dad haha
You forget, I have been living in a dorm for four years so i had no space to accumulate stuff. Good luck with all your packing!
I would trade my day here for a day there with you to help you and to cook you dinner and then to force you into some kind of trip out for dessert or something. I know that homesick feeling — every year my mom goes south like a snowbird and I miss her so much. It helps to call her and hear her talk instead of just text. It also helps to connect with people who are around. I know I wasn’t social in London, where I live, for WAY too long and then when I met some people, I realized it’s not so bad! Wherever you are, it’s your friends that make your world. <3
Such great advice, I think once I get moved in it will all fall into place. But you are right, i am always the worst at relying on supports but they are necessary.
Hang in there girl–almost there! And as soon as you’re settle, we can hit a movie or Eastern market or something
Have fun this weekend and yes yes yes!
I would totally love to trade up for Friday! I’m sure everything will fall into place when you have your new place! I”m looking forward to throwing dinner parties in my new place
I can’t wait to throw parties too, I love being a host.
I would trade working today for one of my vacation days! I am so exhausted from going to New Orleans this weekend that I wish I would have used a day. But, I am here now so no sense in complaining right?!
Oh gosh, I hope it goes fast for you. The anticipation is the worst for sure. What a great attitude you have.
I would trade my dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow for a huge bowl of coffee ice cream with caramel sauce and chocolate sprinkles right about now!
Sprinkles all the way, I feel ya on that one.
I would trade hanging out at home to come to DC and hang out with you!! I totally feel ya on the lackluster social life – all of my friends live so far and I can only really connect with them via facebook, twiter, and the phone…I’d kill for some face time lol. And NOOOOOO I hope my giveaway package gets to you before you move!! And hey, you definitely deserve to feel accomplished for taking care of big-girl problems yourself – I definitely always do haha
It is so strange I haven’t received it yet, what is with the mail. I would trade all of those things as well. Can we? For someone who thinks it is hard to stay social, this is even harder having people farther away.
I would trade today for Thursday! I took off Thursday and Friday and cannot wait for my freedom to get here!!
And I know how you feel with feeling talked about. For a while I was really good because my doc (therapist) would say things like “no one cares about you and what you’re doing” “anything negative someone MAY say about you is a reflection of them” etc. – I needed to hear that constantly. So in an effort to try and help – no one is talking about you!
That is great to hear, thanks for that. I hope you get some time to relax, we all need the weekend!
Aww I’m sorry you miss your mom! I know that is always tough for me when I’m away from y mom cause were close
It’s so nice to vent sometimes isn’t it?!
You are so right, they just know all the right things to say.
You’re almost there, so close! This Tuesday, I would like to trade my anxieties regarding a few of the relationships in my life. Just can’t seem to shake the nasty feelings.
Anxieties are the worst, I am with you on that one.
I’m with you on on wishing it was friday! I would trade up this paper that I have to write for just about anything else! lol
Oh gosh papers in the summer are the worst. Good luck!
I’d trade this Tuesday for the weekend–the olympics are starting and I’ll be officially DONE with my statistics class!
BEST FRIDAY EVER, gah I totally forgot about the olympics.
