Day 98 Thurs 16 another swing shift
Day 99 Fri 17 I got up early and headed to work for a blood pressure screening and information about cholesterol and a free pedometer, which had done nothing but let me know that i am not getting enough steps in a day(10, 000 is what is the minimum for the average american. I walked on my highest day approx 4, 000). I then headed into the city to pick up some things at Michaels for my party, then back to the lunas some girly grooming at the fabulous salon that I found now that I'm leaving. Then I headed to work looking forward to my party.
Day 100 Sat 18 Party Day! I was up early to do my last minute errands, and pick up my ice cream cake for the party. Back at the ranch I began cooking eggs for my famous deviled eggs that everyone loves, and also made chocolate candies. I put together prizes for the games, and gathered game stuff as well. All that took up all the time till it was time for the party. It never ceases to amaze me who shows up and who doesn't and how that differs from my expectations. It was a greatly fun party. There were great people, great food, great weather and tons of fun. After everyone left, I cleaned up all the dishes and headed to bed full and happy.
Day 102 Sun 19 Another swing shift, with the leftover candies from the party and the best entertaining co-workers, so tons of laughs!
Day 103 Mon 20 The first of 2 days off in a row. Very exciting. Of course I woke up early. I still managed to be late to the good meeting. We had planned on going to karaoke on the big stage. We followed the gps and it took us literally to the middle of nowhere with nothing, only to find out that there was no karaoke on the big stage, so we went to the bowling alley. Where later in the evening I ended up making out with the kj, after a summer of flirtation. I realized this is the first person I've done anything with since "the breakup." And it felt okay. It wasn't stellar but it definitely felt good to be wanted, and flirted with. The night came to an end and extremely tired I headed back to the ranch, where I fell asleep watching tv.
Day 104 Tues 21 I woke up way to early once again, and couldn't sleep, so I decided I would get up. Since we knew for sure karaoke was on the big stage tonight we rearranged our plans of going to Luna mansion till Friday night in order to go to karaoke. Sometime in the afternoon I was way too tired from having gotten up so early and took a nap until I needed to get up and ready. I headed out to go to an early meeting to make karaoke by 7:30, but was running so late that I decided I would take myself out to dinner at a restaurant a friend had previously recommended next to the stellar gellato shop. I didn't feel like reading the menu and making a decision at the restaurant so I asked the cashier with the gorgeous eyes(which is the second albuquerque restaurant with a gorgeous eyed cashier). He didn't just haphazardly recommend anything, but asked me some questions and matched me with a meal that was perfection. Every bite was delightful and I felt no guilt about my food, just sheer enjoyment. Then I grabbed a delicious gellato which now paled in comparison to my absolutely splendiforous dinner. I took a walk down the street and back to my car, then headed up to karaoke. They actually had a dj and dancing that started at 7:30 and karaoke didn't start till 9:30. I got to sing 3 times, which was a lot considering the amount of people in the place and one of those was a duet with a guy who had sung a country song amazingly in the beginning of the evening. There was a ton of fabulous people watching to do and an absolutely perfect couple sitting next to us were just amazing to watch. They just fit perfectly together, and she had the most perfect body I have ever seen. I had to tell her, and we talked for a bit and I found out she had 2 children the oldest of which had just turned 21, they had just started dating 2 weeks ago, he is in a band and his mother was a gospel singer. Why is it so easy to get to know a complete stranger and yet so hard for me to say hi to a newcomer? I need to work on that. I had a wonderful time socializing and I am learning how to enjoy life. Now I realize I need to keep the fun in my life to stay in balance completely. This has been an amazing learning summer and I think in spite of myself I've gone through a non-painful growth period. I've truly learned how to live in today, amongst many other things. I look forward to another day.
