When Did I Start Getting Territorial?

I have a big problem when people invade what I perceive to be "my space" at work. This includes, but is not limited to:

1. Getting too close to me. For example: where I work, people think it's okay to come around my desk and talk to me while staring at my screen. Okay, how about no. I'm on this side of the desk, do me a favor and be on the opposite side. I'm not watching porn on the computer, but I deal with some sensitive information for clients such as socials, income, addresses, and I'd rather you not have your face in it.
2. People picking up things off my desk. I have a few things on my desk at work. The only reason I have anything is because those things are important: my thermos, a picture of my husband and me, and an iron rose. That's it. Three things. People decide picking up one of these three objects is cool. Well, it's not.
3. Siting in my chair without asking if it's cool. Look, this is my desk. This is my chair. Why is it when I get up, suddenly it's free game to people WHO DON'T WORK IN THIS OFFICE?! Oh hey, lookie here, I got up to do something and you're just siting in my chair, looking up something on my computer, and you didn't bother to take a second and ask "Can I use this a minute?". Rude.

These are not nit-picky in my opinion, these are common sense things. Is there an implied barrier? Good. Stay on your side. Does this belong to you? No? Then don't touch it. Did you ask to use that? Then guess what, you can't use it. Follow that simple guideline, and I won't need to end you.

When Did I Start Echoing?

I'm having a hard time sleeping. What else to do but make a blog entry! So this isn't going to be a very chipper entry as I've been feeling kind of down lately. Have you just had a period of time where you just feel like a husk of who you are, or at least, who you think you are?

Follow me here.

So for the past 3 weeks or so I've felt tired every moment of the day. Tired after 8 hours of sleep. Tired after a relaxing day. Tired after naps. Tired after food and drink that should give me energy. Just tired. Achy. Headaches. Nothing excites me. I feel...like this:

Tell me, my closest friend,

Have you felt this pain?

This ache so deep inside,

Dulling every aspect of your life.

How could it be this feeling,

All at once too much,

And yet still too little,

Is this how everyone feels?

I imagine time to time,

Everything gets rougher than we hope,

Handling is not enough,

Cooping is not living.

I am not living.

I am in neutral.

I know when it will end,

But will it ever end?

Someone call 2008, High School Freshman me wants her poetry back. Seriously though, I feel like shit. I know feeling better is just around the corner, but it feels like the opposite. It is just this pain, and I can't get rid of it. I think I'm going to make some waffles....

When Did I Start Liking Girls?

So people find out I am attracted to woman, more often than not, in a subtle way.

Scenario 1:

(Girl Walks By)

Adela: Wow...she's really hot.

Female Friend: I guess. Wait...do you like girls?

Adela: Yeah.

Scenario 2:

(Girl Walks By)
Male Friend: Damn she's hot.

Adela: I know, right?
Male Friend: Wait...do you like girls?

Adela: Yeah.

Those are the typical scenarios I'm "outed" to people I know. I haven't met a person yet who was weird-ed out or stopped being my friend because of it, so I'm a little lucky that way. Then there is the follow up questions I get.

Question 1:

Friend: So you like girls AND guys?

Adela: Yup, I'm bi.

Friend: Oh, okay.

Question 2:

Friend: Have you...you know...done it with a girl?

Adela: You're nosy, but yes.

Question 3: 

Friend: How come you married a guy?

Adela: Because he was the person I was in love with at the time, and he asked.

Question 4:

Friend: Doesn't your husband think it's weird? Does he think it's hot?

Adela: I don't think he has any strong feelings either way. He's cool with it, but it isn't relevant anymore since I'm off the market.

Yes, I am attracted to men and women. Not a super big deal. However, you'd be surprised the kind of things people have said in regards to being bi-sexual.

Dumb Thing 1:

A-Hole: That's a good excuse for being a slut.

Dumb Thing 2:

A-Hole: You just say you like girls to turn on guys.

What the holy hell. That's offensive. Don't be those people, please. The Chicago Pride Parade was yesterday, and while I didn't go, I do have an enormous amount of pride. Not only for Bi people, but every single sexual orientation. Life is hard enough, let's not be hard on one another.

When Did I Start A Count Down?

104.

That's how many days I have until I move to Florida.

I've been pretty wrapped up in everyday things that keeping an updated blog has been too much. No excuses, it was my bad. So let's just skip the groveling for forgiveness and go right to the list of new things going on!

• Today I'm at work (yes I know it's Sunday) and if you didn't know, I no longer have Mondays off anymore. Hooray.
• I saw the first episode of Siberia (NBC). So far, they have peaked my interest.
• I rescued a bird that was in the parking lot of my job. A tired, hot, and bleeding cockatiel. $700 of medical bills and a Petsmart visit later, she's all mine and much healthier. Have a look my pretty girl. Her name is Ursula. 
  
• I watched Man of Steel. Now, a lot of people have grievances about the film, but for me as a whole I found it made me fall in love with a character I've never liked in the DC universe. Also Henry Cavill....
  
• I continue my obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch after seeing Star Trek Into Darkness by watch all his European interviews. My favorite was on the Graham Norton show on BBC. He was there with Chris Pine and the Cumberbitches were there full force. That man Khan have me any day. GET IT!?
  
• James left Chicago May the 4th (be with you). It's been 58 days since then, and I'm trying to stay positive and upbeat, so I dance to this. Katy Perry saves my sanity.

So that's essentially what's been going on on my end. What's been up with you guys?

When Did I Start Becoming Honest?

Alright, I'm going to be straight with you (hard for me, I know). Everything have been very busy lately. The end of the month/beginning of the month in my line of work is a blur of paperwork, phone calls, emails, and issues. Not only that, there were some personal matters that had been going on for the past week. I ask you humbly for your forgiveness.

This is what's been going on lately:

1. I made one of these: http://about.me/adelamorales
2. I declared on myself a baking challenge for when I move to Florida. (Details tomorrow)
3. I discovered how adorable Pembroke Welsh Corgis are.
4. I have a wedding to go to this Saturday for a co-worker.

Yes, that wedding is THIS Saturday, and my dress is yet to arrive. Not only that, but between now and then I need to cut my hair, buy shoes, and do my nails. It's so tough being me I'll have you know.
