Friday Night Music 2 MY Ears

The plant is cleared except for essential folks, it must be Friday. I have had the lights off in my office all day because I have had this killer and I mean killer headache. I am sure I could have just closed my eyes and it all would have went away.

Diva is done with her comps and rolling passed the plant now on the interstate. One step closer to closing on our house as I fax'd off three million different sheets of paper this afternoon. And I closed loops of a mountain of paperwork that has been slowly growing on my desk. That has been my day other than helping the temps with the printers and forklifting an old copying machine across the parking lot. I am genuinely getting excited about this little side project I am on or really heading. It is a new label and label system that I can build from the ground up. This will be my second Label System that I have built and I enjoy the research, development, and vendor interaction.

I was thinking about a glass of wine tonight but money is tight and I will have to settle with the Canadian beer filling my frig to the brim. Might take the Sissy out to the galleries tomorrow if she can wrestle her mind away from comps and thesis papers.

TO: all
have a great weekend and safe travels

Wednesday Ho Hum

Work has been crazy but nothing that can't be handled. I think things are slowly starting to ebb in this weird flow of things. The Diva is stressing as she is in the middle of her thesis and comps. The thesis is going remarkably well but like any test, this set of comps is turning her stomach and bringing her to the edge of an anxiety attack.

I can't really help in the matter but I am trying to be uber supportive. I even took a stab at the laundry tonight while she was soak away her worries in the tub but from the groan I just heard from across the apartment I must have dried something that wasn't suppose to meet the fate.

I have ordered myself a few books and am going to start reading again. We have started back into blossoming our cultural experiences. Last weekend we went down to NOLA to take in the Ansel Adams exhibit and the Katrina aftermath exhibit of photos. Both were interesting.

Talk soon.

Happy Travels.

Engagement

Ok so I am now engaged. It happened at the Bewitching hour somewhere in the fog laiden landscape of Missippi or was it Louisiana. We won't be exchanging rings or running through a church as neither one of us is actually Christian despite the color of our skin.

Don't know what the future holds but I am sure it is brightish.

Pictures will follow soon of the trip.

Happy to Be HOme
