Wed Sept 22 Back to work from this day until Sept 30! All grave schedule with 2 days on swing. I wasn't able to sleep all day cuz I went to bed to early the night before, despite all efforts to stay up all night. I was going to join some friends at the state fair but sometime in the afternoon it started raining, and never cleared up. The fair closed, extending there $2 entrance fee until Thursday. I had gotten ready just in case the weather cleared in order to meet my friends at the fair. The weather having not cleared, she asked if I would like to go to a meeting. We were gonna go to a 5pm meeting but as we were driving there and it was getting late and we were going to be extremely late to the meeting I suggested we go to the 6pm meeting instead and we would still have time to stop and get a Keva juice! We decided this was a wonderful idea. It was drizzling a bit and cold, but the meeting was good. When we came out of the meeting it was torrential downpour the entire drive home. We had gotten soaked just going the 2 feet to the car. I was glad I had asked if she would drive. We were both feeling emotionally drained and saddened by finding out several of our friends had left the program. I warmed up a bit before having to go sleepily to work. The rain had let up some on part of my drive, for which I was grateful. By morning it had let up to a sprinkle and I had hoped it would dry up enough to be able to go to the fair that evening.
Thurs Sept 23 I slept less than I would have liked to, but got up in time to get ready for the fair. I met my friends there after the sun had gone down. We walked through as many of the exhibits as we could before they closed them. I enjoyed a turkey leg while the others enjoyed a funnel cake. We found fresh spun cotton candy shared by all 3. I helped myself to a delicious caramel apple, my favorite fair food. We went a few rides before I needed to make my way back to work. It was a great time! Plus it was perfect weather for walking around the fair. I was glad to have gotten to go. Work was surprisingly busy, and I had left over turkey leg to enjoy. Plus plenty of time to do some studying of the third tradition for the next morning review with my sponsor.
Fri Sept 24 After a long busy night, and staying an extra half hour at work(a coworker forgot his badge), I headed to the house to kill some time before going over the third tradition with my sponsor. I decided to pack up my desk, which took up 2 boxes. I will try and pack slowly the rest of everything to not have to leave it all till the last minute. Luckily I do not have to much stuff, but I only have my car to haul everything so it does have to fit in a small amount of space. I got to talk with the sponsor for an hour, which was nice. I headed right to bed after that to rest up for dinner at the mansion before work! I awoke in enough time to get ready(I'm finally adjusted sleep wise back to the grave schedule) and head out for dinner. I felt very adult driving to the Luna Mansion where I had 8:30 dinner reservations for 4 of us. It was a wonderful laid back evening with good conversation, excellent food, fine dining atmosphere. I treated myself to dessert, because it looked good when it was brought to another table. It was delicious. Sometimes food is exquisite. Tonight was one of those times. After dinner we walked around the mansion and marveled at its structural integrity, beauty and simplicity considering its mansion status. We said a small lingering goodbye noting that it may be the last time I see one particular friend and off our separate ways we went.
