Hello, it's me again. It's 8:57PM and I'm still at work. Correct, people, still at work (now how is that a surprise? :) ). And I am so... not really tired... more like restless. This damn SQL job is taking forever to finish.
I hate the fact that I am too busy to even enjoy the thought of leaving for LV this Saturday to spend time with my maternal great aunt who happens to be my mom's aunt. She was always my favorite grandma on my mother's side - straightforward, apolitical when it comes to family matters, loyal, fiercely protective of her loved ones, candid, loving, God-fearing... all qualities I so treasure and are yet so rare in the world today. Serendipitously, I learned today - after several consecutive months of unintentional silence - that my childhood friend Ryan will be going to LV to celebrate Thanksgiving, as well! Apparently, his mom lives there, too! Yippee! We plan to meet up.
I've started looking around for places to move into. My first "serious" venture happens to be a really frugal one for me - $475 to rent an entire 2nd floor which includes 2 bedrooms and a sitting area + pets are okay + includes all utilities including wireless internet! Who can beat that?!?! The only caveat is that the owner likes to smoke in the house. I have nothing against smokers, but I don't want to go into a home that smells of smoke. So I am still looking and still deciding if I want to rent an apartment instead. Going that route will certainly give me much more autonomy, but will be a much bigger drain on my finances. I really can't wait to buy a house. Methinks that renting that house's 2nd floor will get me to where I need to be financially much sooner... but I have yet to if it's worth it to lose some of that autonomy and independence I relish so much. So, we'll see.
I wish I could go to work late tomorrow, but I can't. This project needs to be out as soon as possible tomorrow. *Sigh*. The managers are all in Ireland for their Q4 Managers' Meeting. You can tell they are all not here. Some folks are reveling in their newfound albeit temporary freedom. Unfortunately, they return when I am gone. I don't think my boss even has email access right now so I doubt he's seen my emails updating him of what's going on here. My team's actually doing pretty good. We're very well behaved ;)
I sooo miss the tracks... Here's to a promising future of travel and adventure; of learning and growing; of passionate pursuits and blessed merrymaking; of music and love and rainbows in unexpected places. To faith and serendipity, may you ever hold true. Lord, this is all for you.
Amen.
