Week in Review

Through the drunken wine haze, a lot happened this week. Let's see, what shall I highlight....

1. Had a raving 3 month review which emphasized even more how much I love my job. I keep waiting for the ball to drop, for that realization that its not quite as good as it seems, for someone to turn out to be a real asshole. But, hmmm... no signs of that just yet. I like this feeling.

2. Reminisced about my lovely trip to NYC. God, that was fun - "fucking amazing" is actually the agreed upon description. Charlie was a lovely host as always, and it was the perfect balance of touristy crap and just hanging out with some of my favorite people. Wow... I can't believe its over and I no longer have the countdown... sigh.

3. Next, realized I might be having feelings for someone I swore I'd never have feelings for again. I had done so well building that wall, making sure it was fairly sturdy, and even decorating it sometimes with notes of a friendship. And then it came crashing down, violently, suddenly, and grippingly. And it scared the hell out of me. Apparently it wasn't earthquake-proof. Damn it.

4. Battled a cancer scare and came out on the winning side (imagine the Rocky victory dance). After 3 months of "should have" thinking and dodging the pitiful "how are you doing" inquiries, the last moment of truth arrived: and, the final tests revealed that I could breathe easy again. Wow - I wonder how many years that little scare shaved off my now again potentially long life....

5. I dug a deep deep hole and buried the aforementioned feelings - time to rebuild the wall, one cobblestone at a time. Now that I know I live on a fault line, it'll be real strong. I've hired a few contractors to help (you know who you are). Trust me, its better this way. There's too much risk and I can't open myself up to the possibility of getting hurt again - not just yet anyway.

6. And, last, but certainly not least -- I've watched a shitload of Sex and the City (you can just call me Carrie from now on - hey, I used to at least have the hair). Roomie and I are addicted. I've seen them all how many times? Doesn't matter... we're smack dab in the middle of the series and loving it. It's pretty much complete brilliance in my mind. And perfect for the love/lust rollercoaster so many of us seem to be on right now.

So there's that. I suppose the week isn't exactly over yet - there's one more night. So who knows... something more could make the list - if you're really good, that is
