Work has been a toughie. I broke down in tears twice today...with a couple of trusted, close co-workers...not in front of any bosses or anything. I feel so overwhelmed, hopeless, confused, frustrated. I know I shouldn't take things personally, but I do. I'm a perfectionist, in a new position, suddenly the manager of a high visibility program in the shipyard. How did this happen?! I think people have unrealistic expectations about what I'm capable of doing at this point, being new and all. One day at a time. I'm hoping tomorrow will be better.
I've been staying at work later than I'd like. I'm kind of upset at myself for allowing it to get to that point. I told myself I'd never put work before family. My time with Brian before he leaves for work is precious. I need to stay true to my word.
Anyway, in light of us not being able to buy a house anytime soon, we opted for some retail therapy this past Saturday and bought this new sectional sofa for our living room.
We don't have it yet. It was supposed to arrive with a shipment on October 30th and still hadn't arrived by November 1st. It should be here any day now! After 4-1/2 years of living with hand-me-downs (which served us well, btw), I can't wait to relax in our townhouse with some "real" furniture!
I was told the color is "mocha". It's kind of tan, with what I interpret as a tinge of pink. But not too pink. When it arrives, I'll get a better photo of it.
Anyway, that's it for now. Need to shower and head off to bed. I think I need to get more sleep on a more consistent basis. I think my lack of sleep is affecting my ability to cope with things.
Tomorrow is another day. I'll be hitting the polls after work. Should be an interesting evening....
