And one more way Today was Good:

Bryan just called.  He wore his Hawaiian shirt today, and the kids went nuts over it.  He said, and it made my heart swell, “I think I found my zone today.  This week has gotten me down, and I’ve been sick, but I’m over it.  It’s my class.  My department.  I’m in MY zone.  Where do you want to eat dinner?  I think we deserve to be splurging tonight.”

The dinner thing?  Nice.  But more than anything.. to hear that he’s finding his rhythm.. I’m ecstatic.

Why Today was Good
Category: The Unexplainable | No Comments »
Boss was in a good mood.  Miss Anne (one of the older ladies that I sit in for sometimes) had a new computer installed yesterday, and I could not get my email to configure itself on the machine.  I was severely frustrated by this and went into Boss’s office to vent.  He laughed at me until he cried, and then told me that my “story-tellin” is some of the best he knows.

Sushi was awesome.

A company that we work with is trying to hire me away.  I doubt I’ll go (in the long-run, it’s just not a good deal), but it’s hella flattering.

I had a new reader.  And they’re verbal.

Miss Anne brought me a Frosty.

I got a new “ergo” chair today because I bombed the last ergo assesment.

It’s Friday.

Someone left me a serenade on my voicemail at work.

.. it’s almost time to go home.

S’gotta be RAW
Category: The Unexplainable | No Comments »

That’s PJ’s only qualifier for sushi.  S’gotta be raw.  And, mmmmm, boy howdy!, was it good.

Had a phenomenal lunch with the fantastic WildeChick herself, Steph, and the fabulous PJ.  There was miso soup, TONS of sushi, and lots of laughter.  I forget, sometimes, that I do have fun.  I know you readers must marvel on how I make it from day to day without slitting my delicate little wrists, and lunches like today are what get me by. 

I still smell like PJ.  Forgot how calming that is.  Ah, memories..

So, to summarize from lunch:

  • “The lifestyle IS hard.  For one thing, your soul is rotting.”
  • “You need to know that she is riding him dry.”
  • “I wish I HAD gone to high school.  I should write about that.”
  • “Oh.  I was poor then.  I didn’t do theatre.”
  • “And it’s not baggage that anyone couldn’t handle.  Just baggage that I couldn’t handle.”
  • “He found some poetry that I had written, and I had to undergo an exam.”

See, it’s not all gossip.  I’ve decided that historical discussion isn’t gossip.

I’ve decided this weekend will be great.  I’ve decided this because I really have no other choice.  I hope that Bryan will let me borrow his mower, as mine has died.  Half of my backyard was cut before the expiration, so it looks really freakish now.

I hate money.  Just thought I’d say that.  I really only hate it when I don’t have it.  And I pretty rarely have it.  So it’s a hate-love-hate relationship.

It’s so much nicer outside!  It’s cooling off.  Very thrilled about that.  Maybe some outdoorsy (read: FREE) stuff this weekend: picnicing on the mountain (haven’t done that since April), wandering Big Spring Park (hmm.. also in April), maybe finding something outside that we’ve never done.. even in April.

Keboobalah.. I have a favor to ask you.  I need some artistic vision.

Excited.  Because nothing is stable right now, nothing will be the same tomorrow.
