I was actually quite well all day until just before leaving work. A stress headache creeped up on me and I became extremely exhausted. I crashed into bed after dinner and a shower to sleep for an hour. I actually tried to read some of Faust, but only made it through a couple pages before the headache forced me to put it down.
There is a slight buzz in the office since AP Girl's last day is tomorrow. I'm not sure if it is anxiety or excitement over the change. I've been so preoccupied with learning the tasks of my new position that I haven't had much of a chance to talk to others about it. I stared moving my possessions upstairs to my office this afternoon. It feels very odd, yet also very exciting. I've been in my current position for a little over three years and I know it well - inside and out. This new job will give me a bit of a challenge and put me in a position that is more suited for my personality.
I dug out some old CDs last night that I haven't put on for years. Lisa Loeb's debut was one of them. I was in love with her when I was younger. She was my ideal - my female musical hero. I've grown since then and have found other women who express my life much better, but I will always have a soft spot for her voice and style.
"You do not cheat me of my childhood. You bring me blankets for the walls of my forts. There is no anger with the eyebrow raised. When you do the fantastic I am amazed. So what is this weather, and what is this darkness, and why do I feel so alone? When will it snow, it's been raining for hours, and why do I feel so alone?" (Lisa Loeb)
And while we're on the subject of female vocalists... I got the Si Se album I ordered in the mail today. Half of the songs are in English and half are in Spanish, but the two different languages never clash. They're wound together quite well. It's a bit more mellow than I was expecting, but a few of the tracks stand out.
