But I realized I can’t be happy when I’m tired.

 I have so many reasons to be happy.  

• In less than two weeks Johnny is coming home.
• Yesterday I applied for the IELTS test at British Council here in Bucharest. This is something I’ve wanted to do for years but never got the chance.
• Supernova, one of my favorite boy bands is releasing a new single. I really like them a lot.
• I’m almost half way to finish my third gobelin (not my cat gobelin but my tulips gobelin).
• I got money in my pocket.
• I am in my new office which is all cleaned and nice, plus it’s quiet and very relaxing.
• Even if it’s hot outside, I know autumn is just around the corner.
•  The annoying co-worker is on a 2 week vacation. I consider it as my own personal vacation … from her.

 And, everything is falling into place really nice and there’s nothing going wrong right now.

 I’m in a happy spot, but I can’t enjoy because I’m tired. Yesterday I should’ve been jumping for joy after I registered for the IELTS test (which is on 25 September). But I was gloomy, I was tired and I was so hot (from the heat okay) that I just wanted to get home and take a shower.

 Being tired sucks.

• Why is it that whenever I am dressed nicely for work there’s always cleaning to be done, or stuff to be moved around?
• Why does all the hard work have to be on Friday?
• Why do I always get dragged into everything?
• Am I the “multitasking employee” of the year?

I am thinking of bringing spare clothes to change at the office and maybe some comfortable shoes. This way I won’t get all my good clothes all dirty and my feet won’t hurt as much at the end of each day.

I should take every Friday off; a three day weekend sounds good to me. It will actually be a dream come true, but reality is always oh so painful.

Hopefully with the new change of office I won’t be as solicited as I am now.  I am thinking that with the new people here I will get some “free” time to do my own work. In the end, I keep telling myself that it’s all worth it. I hope that I am right and that I’m not wasting all my energy for nothing.

For now I just want to go home and get some rest, but there are a lot of things to be done before going home. One of them is getting my eyes checked and to fix my glasses. Hopefully I won’t be so drained and I will go visit the “in-laws” but I’m not promising anything.

Ahh, the weekend seems so close yet it’s so far away.

I will never get tired of Daft Punk “Discovery”.

No matter how many years pass by I will still love the songs from this album. My favorites are “Digital Love” and “Face to Face”.

It’s Saturday. I’m at work. It’s quite sad because I was planning on slacking the entire day.

But, before I left from work, I actually looked around my room and noticed my Japanese Idioms dictionary. I bought it thinking that I will keep on learning Japanese (but somewhere along the road I got lost). So I opened it and guess what idiom I read?

Kono shumatsu wa hatarakanakereba naranai node, ki ga omoi desu.

Translation

It’s depressing to have to work during the weekend.

The dictionary talked to me. It was saying “Sucks to be you!”. If this isn’t a good way to get me back into learning Japanese than I don’t know what is.
