today: i woke up at 4am with a jolt. somehow i remembered (correctly) that i had a 7:30am meeting to discuss our new website (and by our i mean, work). instead of going back to sleep i lay in bed and listened to the air conditioner hum (not so much hum but gargle, burp, cough and finally purr...but i'm not complaining...it kept the room livable). oh, and i got myself a tall glass of water - i went out with the SAMS GIRLS last night and might have had a jager bomb right as we were leaving. at ten of six i got out of bed and jumped in the shower. while our room had stayed cool the rest of the apartment was a freakin' oven so i ran around (naked) opening every window (it was early, the rest of the world was still sleeping) including the window in our shower and while i made sure the shade was drawn there was a definite breeze on my tush as i showered which i found...strange. i made coffee, blow dried my hair (even in extreme heat i girl must look her best), put on my pretty white shower dress (ie the dress i wore to my bridal shower last year), drank coffee, straightened my hair and jetted out the door. i arrived at work at exactly 7:15.
at 7:45 i was still the only one in the office.
at 7:50 i promptly spilled my entire mug of coffee on my pretty white shower dress.
at 7:55 after patting myself dry i decided as it was now clear that no one else was coming to our scheduled meeting, i would run to target (nothing else is open that early) and get a new something to wear. i was having a shitty day and i certainly was going to have a shitty AND stained day. i got there in no time, picked out a cute skirt and tank top and jetted back to work.
65 minutes later i arrived back at my desk. i hate traffic and i hate that boston is not a grid.
i missed my PT appointment and my knee is super unhappy - i blame the three flights of stairs in westport.
the day did get better. i treated myself to diet coke and coffee, a bagel with cream cheese and peanut m&ms. tonight i'm going out for ice cream. i'm moving in a week and a half, i cannot be judged. my supervisor sent an email to the board letting them know that i was leaving - he said really nice things and made me cry. i told him he had to leave my office.

i've been holding off posting today because, on top of everything else going on, i'm reassessing my need (or my lack of need) to blog. i mean, this 100% came out of the fact that ABN had one and i want everything that he has (okay not everything...but he made this seem really cool). and i have enjoyed (?) making time in most of my days to sit and write. i know its good for me. but i do question what i'm writing about, and i know others do as well. in any writing i have done, my stories have always (to some extent) been about me. its not that i think i'm so interesting (because really everyone i know is more interesting then me) but i do like to get aspects of my life (real or imagined) out of my head and on to paper (screen). i sort of assume that in the coming weeks, as ABN and i begin our cross country adventure and then begin to attempt to settle into life out west, the landscape of this blog will change...until then, just know i'm thinking about it....
