I tried to watch the finale of TOP DESIGN last night, but I fell asleep! That’s how tired I was! I woke up this morning feeling a lot better than I did yesterday morning. I didn’t have time for Starbucks, so I finished my little tin of INTERNATIONAL FOODS mocha and had coffee cart after lunch!
When I stepped outside the apartment this morning, there wasn’t the slightest chill in the air and the sun felt so great. It’s November 6th and I’m in paradise. This is what I wanted my whole life. I know I was here last November, but we had just arrived and I really didn’t have the feeling of seasons changing the way I do this year. I just appreciate it SO much and love every single day I get to spend here. I don’t know what the future holds, and where we’ll end up, but I’ll always be grateful that I got to spend 2008 in California!
It was a very quiet day in HR. Things have really slowed down and Elsa and one of the other girls were at a job fair today. The woman I work with left after about 2 hours, because her son broke his finger and it turned out they had to operate! So, I just asked around and begged for work, which they really appreciated. I managed to keep busy, but it wasn’t easy!
I left at 4:45pm to go to my appointment. I was happy to report that Eric’s doing great – working, socializing, food shopping, and settling well into the apartment. When Eric’s doing well, then I’m doing well, so I’m feeling great.
When I got home I made some salmon and watched the rest of TOP DESIGN. I wasn’t too happy with the winner, although I think he’s very talented. It was a great show. Now that it’s over, I’m happy to report that TOP CHEF starts next Wednesday, so I’ll have another great reality show to watch! It’s never ending, isn’t it?
After TOP DESIGN my Mom called. Then I called Eric. He had just gotten home at 11:00pm NY time from his “night out with the boys.” He had a great time. He told me all the stuff he bought at BJs – all the staples he’ll need to make great meals. I was so proud of him, because he didn’t buy any crap – sugary sweets or fatty meats, etc. He’s a very sensible eater and he said he wants to continue the healthy way we lived here and in NY before we came here. We occasionally eat something fattening, or not so healthy, but it’s usually out of the house. We try not to bring anything “bad” into the house.
I’m going to have sushi with Rosemary tomorrow night. This was something we planned 2 weeks ago. The Madonna concert was a last-minute thing! We might see “W” if the timing works out. I’m not dying to see that movie, but I’m easy and she expressed an interest in it. I’d much rather watch James Brolin as W than the real W!
This week really flew by for me and I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday already. Except for tomorrow night, I have no plans for the weekend, but I have lots of crafting to do, so I’m hoping to get motivated and get some projects done this weekend. I really want to be able to finish most of them before I go to NY in 16 days!!!
