Rockstar baby. A good day at work. I got there way too early again but it was okay because I had some stuff to watch on my laptop while I waited. I am trying to catch up on Justified. I remember watching season 1, and season 3 just started back up but for some reason, I have no recollection of watching season 2. I think I completely missed an entire season. Luckily I have it now and can watch it - both 1 and 2. This way I can catch up on everything. While I waited for the client to arrive I watched an episode. Helped kill forty something minutes.
Spent the day training and truly mentoring as it supposed to be. I helped them put together a plan of action moving forward and at the end of the day did a good enough job that they want me back in a couple of weeks to the tune of $30k for the company. Score. After work I met a friend at the mall and did a little shopping. I didn't want to drive home right after work because I knew traffic would suck. I found a cool hat for $7, a new sportcoat for $40, and bought the kid a candy apple to make her smile. I also bought me and TGF one too of course.
On the way home I called TGF to see if she wanted to meet for dinner. We had a nice light dinner near her house and then I headed home. It did make for a long day - left the house at 6:30 and didn't get home until 9:30 - but it was a pretty good day overall. I managed to not over indulge in food or comfort eat. I have been slacking big on this lately and felt good that I controlled everything.
Today I have to jump back in to my east coast client but I am not rushing. They can kiss it. I am not looking forward to the dump of emails I will have waiting.
I did get some emails yesterday that threw me off a little bit. I have been offline for the last week or so because I just don't want to talk to anyone really and one of my friends sent me an email fearing that it was her I was pissed at. I explained to her it wasn't personal, I just don't want to talk. That started a thread between us and she told me her and her husband are buying a house. Now, I should be happy for her, which I am to some extent but it also served to underscore why I am a little depressed lately. I miss some days having a house. I miss being able to to what I want and not live in a damn apartment. While I am happy for them, it just reminds me of what I have lost and can never get back. Which in turn started me thinking about all the things I have lost, etc etc etc.
That was about the only low point yesterday. Not bad.
