It’s Monday and I’m back to work and my dysfunctional staff. I shouldn’t talk so poorly about them, but damn. If it isn’t the constant bitching from Negative C, it’s the CRYING from Emotional A. Also, one of my assistants had a mental breakdown a few weeks ago and quit – has moved a thousand miles away to start a new life and now we need to add another to staff. Boss has decided that he’s going to choose how it will go…which is fine, but ultimately, I am the one who gets to manage it all. I think we’re coming to an agreement on a sane one, but not everyone is going to like it (I’m looking at Negative C), and I want to just tell them all to STFU and deal. Ugh. My vacation can’t come fast enough.

Vacation plans are coming along wonderfully! Starting September 7, I’ll be spending a little over a week in Paris and Reims, wandering the City of Lights and visiting Champagne Houses large and small. I have market tours scheduled and cooking classes and even a potential rendezvous with my college sweetheart who just happens to be in Paris on the day that I arrive! How crazy is that? Nothing scandalous, of course. He is happily married and I’d never want to interfere in that, but it would be incredible to see him. I’m getting very excited with the prep…I plan to pack very lightly with a carry-on bag filled with a capsule wardrobe (a challenge!), and I just can’t wait to skip the country for a few days…

My last three dates want to go out again. I’m not overly excited, except for Karl. I’m excited to see him again. He’s the one who took the sabbatical. Today is his first day back to work after two months off. I sent him a text wishing him good luck and he’s really excited. He texted me back saying we should catch up. Yes. The other two: one wants to go to the late night thing in the arts district this Friday. It’s a monthly thing where the museums stay open late. I always go to those, so hey, if I see him I see him. The other one just said he wants to see me again, and I’ve not texted him back yet. I’m just SO not into men right now. Maybe there’s something wrong?

My dog continues to be the love of my life right now. I adore her so much and it’s kind of a co-dependent relationship. So much so that guys who kind of know me ask me out on dates that involve the dog. Is that bad? JKD came back to town after a month away in California and asked me if my dog wanted to have a sleepover with him. Huh? Bottom line, no. I wanted him to take his month away to maybe think about what dating me could possibly look like, but he came back and asked if my dog wanted to sleep over at his place. I know he was trying to be cute, but come on. Dude doesn’t even know me. The way he asked was NOT CUTE and the text actually involved dog poop. I don’t understand? Honestly, it’s not even a story worth repeating. Bottom line, he’s a weirdo. Bye.

The house hunt is ON. Brunch with my realtor friend yesterday and she’s signed me up on a portal to look at condos, lofts and bungalows in my desired locations. She’s setting me up with a lender who works well with first-time buyers and I’m getting excited about the possibilities! I guess this is really happening. Time to buy a house! I do have a little bit of time – my lease is up in February. But I know that time will slip by like water through my fingers. It’s time to start getting serious.
Whelp, that’s all I got for now. Need to run to a meeting. Happy Monday!
