I returned to work on Monday and boy did I have some work to catch up on. Really not much has changed since I left and things aren't in any better shape. I got quite a bit of stuff taken care of and managed to avoid a nice work stop a few times. Dodged a few bullets too. Overall work wasn't too bad. I did get bored a few times, but that was many because I didn't feel like finding something to do. My leg is making it okay, although it is rather sore most days. I went to the gym on Monday and Tuesday and felt much better afterwards, just always hacked because the gym sucks so much. Did I mention the doc took off my brace Friday? Yeah, that was real nice. Still have to stretch it daily (which i have been slacking on) and strength train. Both are tough to get motivation to do, but I must.
Supposed to work today, but Camden got doused with snow. Most people there didn't know what to think. I left work and headed to Little Rock; I'm sure Camden is still recovering from the inch of snow they got. =)
I am almost set on the Orlando trip with V. We're going to be there for 6 nights and have 5 days of theme parks to hit. Should be a fast paced, busy trip, but I am pumped. Probably finalize the hotel and tickets Monday. A week isn't much time to hit the parks like we would want, but I think it may be the last big trip (and the biggest) we have for some time.
Speaking of time, no word from Fayetteville yet. I sent in my TA application a few weeks ago and I am sure letters are still floating in. If things work out, I have 191 days until I start on my PhD. Three classes away from finishing my masters. Woohoo!
Zombieland anyone?

Still no work...
Well the intentions were there, but the paperwork wasn't. I went back in yesterday morning and put in a few hours of time before I had to leave. My doctor didn't fax in an official return to work paper and so I couldn't work. I did manage to get all my emails caught up and looked around the place. Now I am chilling at the house all day until the forms come in, which I suspect won't happen until I see the doctor on Friday. Fun times!
I've been playing Xbox Live in the meantime. V got me Modern Warfare 2 for xmas and I have been putting in some major hours on that. It's quite addicting. I have been trying to do other things like clean house, rearrange my room, order cable for the house, work on the car and buy a new TV, but I always end up back in front of the TV.
Good times!
As soon as I got back, I got that feeling again. It's almost a depression type feeling I think. I am not sure what it is, but I just feel lonely here. Perhaps I am lonely, but I just don't know what it is. I didn't feel this way in college, or at least I don't remember feeling this way. I think in college I filled all my free time in with people and that is something that doesn't happen here. I guess that's why God invented marriage. It's weird, though, because I keep trying not to candycoat college and Fayetteville, but I always come back to Fayetteville being the best place on earth. Speaking of, I sent in my TA forms last week. Hopefully they come back with good news. I won't say I am in full on "leave" mode, but I can sense myself getting there. I am saving money as much as possible and only making big purchases that I will use/need there.
Back to that lonely feeling. I am trying to think of cool stuff to do with the locals but it always comes back to just chilling at someone'e house. I think I am going to get a big TV and start having movie/game/food nights here. I think it'll be good for my soul and a great way to let the co-ops at work experience the out of office stuff we do. I don't remember feeling lonely like this when I worked in Joplin, maybe that was because I went golfing every day. Who knows? Regardless, I don't feel that way AT ALL when I am with V or out with the guys. I guess I am just a social addict.
If it happens...201 days!
