BAD START TO A WEDNESDAY

 

I know this sounds so ungrateful but maybe by the end of this post I will feel a bit better!

I am really hating this life, to get to work on time in Johannesburg is a fairy tale! I just cant do it!

At the company I work for, it is unacceptable to be late for work, even by 5 minutes. I have already received a warning for my tardiness and if 2013 continues this way I will be getting another one!

 

What time do I have to wake up and leave for work to get to work on time? Maybe I should just sleep in my car at the office, then at least I will be early.

 

I work in Kyalami and I live in Northriding so I have to approx travel 16km - 20km to work and the only way to get to where I am going is 1. on the freeway or 2. on main roads both of which are packed with traffic each and everyday. And to add to the frustration, you have to deal with wild cards like taxi's, vehicles broken down and accidents!

 

I just wish I could work from home but this process of getting the business up and running and making enough profit is taking so long.

 

I should be thankful I have a good job, I should be thankful I have a car to get to work, I should be thankful that I owe a house, but I just feel so negative today about not being about to get to work on time.

We are 21 days into 2013 and almost finished the first month of the year.

This small fact is significant to me because I have yet to achieve or start the process to achieve some of my goals for 2013 (I sewed the dog chewed crotch of my tights this morning, but that does not count, I am just going broke replacing all the items my dogs eat!) 

My biggest personal goal of 2013 is to weigh 60kgs or less (me and the rest of the women on planet Earth) and I am about 20kgs away from this goal. Tonight I will be going to visit my old friend Jim for a good old work out and to start my “New Years Resolution” 21 days after the fact.

I will also be stepping onto the truth machine (scale) and see exactly how far away I am from my goal weight.

These are my feet, in my shoes this morning. Now some may think it is very strange to wear 2 different shoes to work, but  I don't.                

You see, the black pump was part of a pair and they happen to be the last pair of shoes (besides for a pair of boots and bright pink heels) I own that my dogs have not destroyed!

Sadly my black pump's life came to an abrupt end as Krillin, my min pin, stole my shoe while i was watching TV and murdered it.

And so today I am sporting 2 different shoes on my feet!

The quote 'you hurt the ones you love' rang true this morning when I was attacked with love. My wonderful pups were so ecstatic in the morning they can not contain their joy at the sight of me in the morning and as a result. . . . . . . . . . . . .

My brain feels as messy as my desk today, I have so many ideas and plans I cant seem to focus on one thing.
I am missing the holidays, missing being at home everyday with my dogs, waking up when I wake up (normally at 7am). It is motivating me to get on top of my business, expand it and make it work. My dream is to work from home doing things I enjoy, trekking to a desk and working with nasty people 5 out of 7 days a week is not the life for me!

So I have busy with all kinds of different ideas and research today, website ideas, app ideas, logo ideas, craft ideas, so many ideas where do I even start............................
