26 Days

Got a proposal out to a potential client today. YAY!!!!!

We will know by Thursday if we won the biz. Crossing fingers, folding hands to pray and basically believing that if we should get it, we will.

Amidst the typical Monday work madness, I had a couple of off-site trips during the day today. Physical therapy for the first little trek. It went better than well! The PT was so thrilled with the progress my neck/fascia/T-1 and other numbers I can't remember are making that she exclaimed it "was a miracle"! I thought about it, and she was right. I haven't had the movement in my neck that I had today in months...really cool. Thank you, God. Thank you, Leena.

The second jaunt was a trip to the city of Cambridge office of parking...stood in line for a while, got to the window, turned in all the correct paperwork, paid the appropriate fees, got my 2009 parking stickers and visitor's pass...and when I said thank you the woman, who up until that point had been quite cheery and nice while listening to her itunes, she absolutely tripped out! Yep.

Instead of saying, "you're welcome", she said, "why don't you people just mail this stuff in??? you make me sit here and do all this work, when it would be so much easier if you just mailed things in!!!! look at the line now!! hmmmmph. sheeeesh. have a nice day."

Ouch. I just smiled and said, "you, too."

Haven't seen Alphonso (aka ex-Boss at mentoring) in a while, or at least it seemed like a while. Evidently, he felt as if it were yesterday...Maybe because he's not my boss anymore, and I'm not getting all those emails telling me to do this and do that. I miss him. Well, he was desperate to get his Angelina fix (what man isn't?) and so we saw the movie, Changeling. I'm still processing what I saw, even googling it to find out more...AMAZING movie. All I can say. If you haven't seen it, see it. It's based on a true story, and it's a story of a woman's love for her son that is at times unbearable to watch and absolutely something that you won't soon forget.

We bumped into some friends on the way out, hit the less frequented Indian restaurant when we discovered the Tibetan place was closed (boo hoo - still haven't tried it!). Good times. Good friends. Good life.

Good night,

I am still a little distraught over the movie, but it was great! I had a blast with you as always :)
