For those that know, today, at 7:35 a.m., marks 11 years of suckiness. However, I'm going to make it, just like every day until now, and I'm going to make good of it. My biggest move is telling work (you know that place, Toninator) I'll be available, as I told them they won't get me for 2 days out of the year. Granted, I also have an interview today for a salaried position there, so this will be interesting (Manager question {with sarcasm}-- what is the hardest part of your job? My answer {with same sarcasm}-- dealing with maggots that really don't know what loss is. And no, I haven't had my interview yet, so that's just my form of humor for now). Besides, if I don't make it at work today, I know I'll have the day off for the next 2 years to get my head right.

Now I know I really really need to go for even a short ride, however, it is under 10*, and I'm being a wimpy sally right now and don't want to layer up. I did go out and do a balloon release, which was calming in its own way. And the sunrise was gorgeous as well, so it will be a good day.

Maybe I need to just work on my bikes, swap out some parts. I'm still waiting for the brown van with my Thomson dropper post to show up.........

First off, thanks for the words of support, P and J. You know I appreciate it.

As for the day, it went off without a hitch. Sure, I was thinking about my angel about every 10mins (yes, I am exaggerating), and that was good. I had my interview, and don't feel I did as well as I needed to. The main thing is I was at it, went through it, and survived it. As for work, I did not have to deal with any drunk morons (I know, what fun is that if I work in a casino), I didn't make any mistakes of my own, and the crew was just great.

As we say in Compassionate Friends, the days leading up to "xxx" day/s are usually more difficult than the actual day itself. Now, I don't know yet if I'll want to work Feb. 4 in the future, however, I made it through this one.........
