Dateline: Los Angeles
Another Tuesday, another city. I never thought the day would come, but Im a little weary of traveling. Maybe its the little 2 ½ day trips that Ive been taking lately. I like a lot of the comforts of home, so it takes me almost as long to pack for 2 days as it does for 2 weeks! Youd think Id have it down by now.
Im also a bit put out because this trip started on Sunday, kinda spoiling my weekend. All day Saturday I kept thinking about how I was going to have to leave mid-day Sunday. So no real relaxing, though TFMS and I spent allll morning in bed, enjoying each others company. Girls, he even painted my tootsies!! What a dream! Still, woulda been better if we could have spent the whole day together.
Plus, TFMS ended up having big conversation about stuff.
Today marks 4 months and counting! We will be married on 08/08/08. Just like the opening day of the Olympics! Its funny, but I see some parallels between our relationship and the Torch: Going around the world, bound for its destination, but there are problems and protests and sometimes the flame must go out in order for the torch to be protected. Will the torch make it? Not without a good amount of drama and trauma surrounding it.
Looks like the flame has arrived in the US, and (of course!!) demonstrations are planned!
And please, I understand the political implications here Im simply writing about the similarities that I see with actually physically trying to get the flame to the Olympics and having so many setbacks.
But for every setback that TFMS and I have had so far, Im proud to say that weve been able to come to some kind of resolution or compromise. Im talking EVERY setback including the baby thing. You would not believe the headway weve made in the last couple of weeks. And believe me, we are speaking rationally and with a lot of thought.
I am more in love with that man with every passing day.
So what else is going on?
Ive been given grunt duty at work (wrapped up in a special project candy coating) for some reason and its kicking my ass. Im tired. Tired of chasing my tail. Tired of the bullshit from BPP. I dont know Boss is still cool, though.
I was also recently given the burden of holding onto some INSANELY juicy gossip about BPP! I dont know, you guys. In my heart I have so little respect for her, and yet she holds one of the keys that could make or break my career. And then theres the worry. About her health and about her sanity and about her situation. What does one do? Im not the only one who knows that shes spiraling into some dire straights. Her own (BIG, BIG, BIG) boss knows the scoop. Whos shoulders does this fall on? More on this later, Im sure. She and I are going to New York together next week as the finale to my special project. Wish me luck. Seriously.
And what else? My mother has pneumonia. Oh my poor mommy. Shes always had pretty bad health. I just want her to get well. You know, its not like shes lead an unhealthy lifestyle. She doesnt drink, she never smoked. And I dont see her eat poorly (thought TFMS says she MUST eat too much). But shes overweight and sedentary (because its hard for her to move very strenuously). She was a sickly child and almost died when she was around 5 or 6 and I think that has a lot to do with it. But I worry. I dont like to see her sick. And I hate to see her in such an overweight state. She wanted to lose weight for the wedding, but no such luck with that. Four months and counting
TFMS and I worked on the kids room last weekend. Not done yet, but you bet your sweet ass Im going to post pix. This little room rocks already! We have the mosquito netting and the BIG leaves overhanging and the bamboo on the wall .youll see! Its gonna be super jungl-y!!
Mmmmkay. Im going for now. I have to get in a quick run and some breakfast before I meet my team. Im on my way home tonight. Wont get home until late, late, late. But it will be good to be back home and in our bed. Aaaaaahhh.
P.S. Gas here has reached $4.35/gallon.
