Air Freshener for My Life

I've kinda been in a funk lately. Just a general discontentment. Multiple factors contributed to this malaise: general post-holiday blues, I still think about a guy who's no longer in my life, I'm broke, my clothes are lame, first Christmas without my aunt, I'm broke, anniversary of my brother's death, a rug that won't stay clean, weird stuff at work and a couple of other things.

The funk has been manifesting in weird ways. Like not grocery shopping and eating stupid meals (seriously...Cheetos dipped in queso?). And sleeping on the loveseat. And crying at work. And panic attacks. And bad hair.

But the funk stops here.

A few days ago, I started pinpointing some of sources of the funk and doing what I can to fix it. I talked to some people at work to help deal with the weird stuff and that's getting much better (no more crying at my desk! yay!). I went to the grocery store and bought normal stuff like lettuce and bread and milk (and wine and lean cuisine, of course). I bought a vacuum to help keep the rug clean.

And now, to really get rid of the funk, I think I need to mix things up. So I'm training for a 5K and doing online dating. Yes, I said online dating.

When I mentioned this to some friends, Fritha's boyfriend (Conan), suggested I sign up for multiple dating sites and chronicle my experiences. You know, like on a blog or something. (can you guess what's coming next??)

So I've signed up for online dating. On multiple sites. Stories soon to come. Maybe I'll get a book deal out of this some day. Or MAYBE I'll meet a nice guy who's not a pansy. It's a win-win.

Well I hope it all worked out for you. I saw a tweet today that had a pic of a mayonnaise air freshener for a car (I know, !!!) and I googled it and your blog came up. Can't find the air freshener but it would look awesome hanging from my rear view mirror. It's the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
