High/Low 10.22.04 The longest week in history...

Hey everyone..

Is it over yet? Thanks goodness it's friday! I am serious with you that this week has seemed to occur in nanoseconds. Man, living in groundhog day isn't very fun. The weather is poopy.. dreary, rainy, foggy, dark, chilly, just plain gross. This week I have either wanted to sit down and cry, or lay down and sleep.

High: Well... happy to report that this weeks dilemma with the house has come to a resolution. Hopefully this evening both Naomi and I will see the fruits of our labor. And.. just as I had earlier stated, the result, although not as cost effective as our previous plan, will be more rewarding in the end. My sister Kristine is so sweet, she changed her work schedule around to help me move next weekend... SO appreciative! Formulating some good thoughts on my 30th birthday party on January 8th.

Neutral: I don't know how to feel about this.. because I just found out about this last nite.. but Peter was offered the Executive Sous Chef position at a fine dining restaurant in Philadelphia or a lateral change to a new restaurant they are going to be opening here in D.C. soon. I told him that I support him, whatever he does.. part of me will be really sad if he leaves.. but I know it would be a good move for him. We'll see.. I'll keep you updated.

Low: I don't know what's going on.. my boss has been weird with me this week. Most of the week he was curt and short with me.. and then the next minute he's nice again...I know I've been more sensitive this week, but he's been kinda cruel overall. I don't know if he has stuff going on, but it doesn't make me feel good and actually makes me feel like I am ready to maybe consider something different. I am tired, mentally drained, and just in need of some solace from the world this weekend. So much has gone on the past few months.. I know it's all about my mind's view about the situations, but I am really desiring a break for a little while.. I don't recognize my apartment anymore.. it's mostly boxed up... I've been too busy to even be sad about it.. (actually I'm SOO excited about the new space)

This weekend.. ah.. what am I doing? Well tonite I'm RESTING.. going to rent a few movies.. get in my flannel pj's and chill out... get up WHENEVER I want tomorrow.. make coffee.. and then pack more as well as go to the new house to set up the kitchen.. I'm going to try to enjoy the downtime I have.. and rest as much as I can.. next weekend is going to be VERY VERY hectic!!!

I hope you have a great weekend, whatever you do.. the leaves are 70% changed here.. but it's so wet and dreary.. it doesn't make for full appreciation of the gloriousness of the season. Anyway.. Have a great weekend..

"For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out." - James Baldwin
