I just got out of a meeting with my boss for next year and I’m happy to say it went well. You could say I had some rather strong feelings about how things went down last year and they weren’t all that positive. I wanted to try to convey some of that to my new boss in hopes of avoiding a repeat of last year. My goal was to be as objective as possible and I think I did a pretty good job. I was a little nervous because I didn’t want to just go in and say: “This is what was wrong with last year, and here’s what you need to do to fix it.” Even if thoughts like that did enter my head, it would never be my place to do that. But she was very receptive to what I was saying and listened to everything I had to say. I hope she appreciated the meeting as much as I did. It really makes me feel a lot better about starting a new year in a building that I love, but where I managed to piss off a lot of people last year.

Changing gears. Last night was awesome! Even though Leigh was MIA and the crowd got smaller as the evening wore on, it was still a great time. It’s too bad summer will be ending soon and the group will never be the same. We have 3 Thursdays left! Long Island Iced Teas at Gold Fork rule. I recommend Alaskan.

Unfortunately, starting with the drive home last night, my brain jumped into overdrive. Occasionally when I get home after going out, I don’t just collapse into bed. Last night was one of those nights. Thoughts were rushing through my head at a million miles an hour and even as I felt my body getting tired I couldn’t sleep. What sucks is that the thoughts in my head were not of the positive type. Even things that normally don’t bother me started to. I felt myself getting angry because I couldn’t stop them from coming. I finally gave up and tried to sleep but it didn’t work. I tossed and turned most of the night and finally fell into a good sleep about 7:30, only to wake up at 9:00 to get ready for my meeting. I’m not tired at the moment, but that could change at any moment. Luckily, the meeting made me feel ten times better. Today is looking up.

And it’s like…

Everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is when it should
This time it’s like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Cuz something’s gotta go wrong
Cuz I’m feelin’ way too damn good
