Full Steam Ahead

Sorry I haven't been around in a few days. The weekends are now a pretty much no blog zone since the Comic and I are out someplace doing something.  However I couldn't pass up the good news that today marks 4 months with the Comic.  Applause please.  4 months is my record which was held with the Planner 2 years ago.  Actually this is about the time we broke up.  Anyhow like OVDC pointed out I really don't have any complaints or concerns with the Comic so we are still full steam ahead.

Anyhow about not blogging as much.  I'm trying to concentrate my energy at work to be on work.  Yes I know shocking.  I'm going through Facebook and Google reader withdrawal.  However I'm getting more done which is important in making more money which is my goal.  Reviewing my stats showed me I'm down 30% in new patients this year which is huge and the reason I'm making less money this year.  I'm really feeling the loss of those extra dollars since I don't have much excess yet.  So I'm cutting out the fat and doing my recreational Internet activities after hours.  Tonight I didn't feel like bringing the laptop home so I'm doing this before I shoot out of here.  

I have to admit I did "slip" a few times and do some surfing, but it was minimal.  I'll be starting a 12 step group on it by the end of the week.  Besides celebrating 4 months today the best thing that happened was that I walked out of my business meeting today with no responsibilities.  Well I still have some since I hold a minor position, but it was so nice to be talk to him, that's his job now.    

Their be Dinosaurs, Oh My

Come with us to on our way to find some dinosaurs. Today Eric and I headed over the Virginia Living Museum.

Besides their normal exhibits they had a traveling animatronic dinosaur exhibit. It was very well done.
Besides that Eric crawled into every crack and crevice to check out.
I was just happy he rarely asks me to come inside with him anymore. I think he sees as he gets bigger its harder for him to move around in there. At least he knows how I feel.
While the adventure was fun, dinosaurs and animals, I had to admit it was pricey for what it was. I hadn't been there in years. The last time was when I took Tech girl there. The dinosaurs made me spend the money, but normally the drive and the cost would make me avoid it.

Eric started reading the book I got him. It was perfect timing cause he was asking for a bookmark to keep his place. The Comic was coming in for treatment today since she hurt her back helping her son out yesterday. It was a perfect time to get the bookmark she made and I was able to give her the Chinese slipper replacements. This time they didn't stink.

It was good to see her after a few days. Especially since I won't see her till next Tuesday. I see that a week is about the time I start missing sex. It's funny when I'm not having it I don't miss it, but when I start the engine needs to run.

So far the week with Eric has been great. Tomorrow is our first day of no plans and no patients. Besides getting adjusted by OVDC which I'm dying for, we are totally free. Most likely we'll go to the pool to have some fun since it will be in the triple digits here. Not a big pool person, but I do what I gotta do. I may have to get my son a muzzle for Christmas. Boy can that boy chatter.

Dead Dog

As you can see I have a dead dog in my place. This is Cricket who lives with me. She loves having her belly rubbed and will lie in front of you like this in hopes of a belly rub. She was lying like this for 10 minutes before this picture was taken.

I'm counting down to my bus ride to NY. I have one more patient then I'm heading home for a quick dinner and sleep. I'll probably get up at 10 to finish getting ready to go. I'm hoping to sleep some on the trip, but I'm not hopeful. I did grab a massage with MT to help keep me in shape since OVDC is on vacation this week and I can't get my weekly adjustment.

The Comic became a grandmother again last night when her oldest boy had a son. Both mother and baby are doing well.

I'm having to get use to my Blackberry all over again since now it's a blueberry. I got a new blue cover since the damaged one I replaced it with was a bit used. It's nice to see it all nice and shiny, just like it was out of the box. Well at least out of the envelope from China.

I'll try to keep everyone updated on my time with Eric, but since I have limited office hours. I won't be around the computer that much.

The Wow Factor

As I know you guys are vested in my best interest and Boss Betty reminded me of it which was nice. So yesterday was my second date with the Comic. I picked her up from her place and we drove over to the Thai restaurant. She is funny for many reasons, but the old NY Jewish lady is funny. The Comic is not Jewish, but with the mannerisms and voice change she comes across very impressive which goes so well with her look. Anyway we both weren't expecting much from the place since it doesn't look like much from the outside. I mean really doesn't look like much. However it was gorgeous inside. All custom stuff, from furniture to artwork. And the food. OMG was it tasty. They grade the food form 0-5 on hotness. We ordered duck which was a 2, but we asked for a 1 on it. Holy shit I don't want to know what a 2 is since it was freaking hot. A 5 is like just call the hearse cause I'll be dead. Just bury my shoes because that's all that will be left of me.

The Comic wanted an intelligent person to date and it was interesting to talk about spirituality and other things last night. It's good for me since I usually only talk about deeper stuff with people I've known for a long time and trust. Our more meaningful conversations are always sandwiched between juvenile humor which is hilarious. Anyway we did get on the subject of book reading when the Comic found out that Eric reads like I do. She wishes she could read more, but she had ADD and listens to books on tape instead. So I suggested pop-up books for her which we joked about. I asked if she had read the Pop Up Book of Phobias. Since she didn't, but was interested we moved over to Barnes & Noble to spend 2 hours there looking and reading books. It was nice to hold her and her hand as we enjoyed our time together. We ended our time there with two cups of Starbucks.

One thing OVDC has suggested was that I slow things down physically with my relationship and see if that would help. It sounded like a good idea to try, although I had to admit I don't really remember having to put much energy to getting anything started. Anyway that was the plan when I brought the Comic home last night. You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men. A kiss followed by a growl ended with us lying in my bed next to each other breathing heavy and both of us going wow. I felt like Elaine and Putty in Seinfeld.

The interesting things were that the Comic stated that the sexual tension had been high all night which was news to me. Their had been only one moment when she had leaned back into me when she was reading a book to me that I got that sexual jolt. The rest of the night I had just been enjoying. However it did remind me of when we first met and she had been happily surprised that I had been better looking than my pics. I guess I didn't know how much. The other was that I give off the Clark Kent look with my glasses on I learned. She was like I never thought you'd be so sexually aggressive. So this time sex started earlier than normal. So we'll see how it plays out.

The Wonderful World of Dating

So is it officially hump day when there is only 4 days in the week? Well my date for tonight died in flames. I didn't have high hopes for it or for the woman since I could tell she was not one for saying "no". She would hint and make excuses, but never come out and say I don't want to do this. The funny thing is that when I sense this I'll push. Why? Cause I have nothing to lose. The woman will either say she doesn't want to go out or just disappear which is the usual. We never end up going out so that point becomes moot. The fun of online dating. Truly I always compare it to bomb dismantling. One wrong move and it's over. And your left wondering should I have cut the red or black wire instead? Honestly if that's all it takes to stop the process, good riddance.

Anyway with that being said I think I have a date for the weekend. The woman is in law enforcement so handcuffs maybe involved. I may have to sign a waiver or something. She asked me for my number and will call tonight. Now on the Seinfeld side of life she does one thing that is really weird. She never answers my emails in one email. It's always in two which is really weird. The first one answers my question in a Tweeter type fashion that is part cryptic. The second one ask me a question. This could have train wreck written all over it. But hey I have time over the weekend and I do enjoy meeting women.

OVDC was the last friend I had to tell about Kitcat and I. Her mouth just dropped when I told her the story. She likes my stories and tries to pass them on to her ex who complains about dating. This from a man who's been on 10 dates in his whole life at age 58. I think I did 10 dates last year alone and I took the year off from dating.

Tone is back in town for a few days. With her here it brings to the forefront of my mind that I'll be moving in the next few months. So my anxiety levels have kicked back up even though things are okay. Until things are in the works I know that this is the way it will be. Pre-anxiety jitters are the worse for me. Doing is never a problem.

The Other Shoe

My car started giving me problems last night. It does this every once in a while. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear it can buck if I give too much gas. Do it slow and steady, no problem. However this puts a negative spin on every thing. I start waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. What will it be? It's never a good thing when this happens since I can't even put a smile on my face when it happens. I'm taking the car in to get the airbag fixed tomorrow so I can pass inspection. This new problem will have to wait since it normally goes away in a day.

I started my talking to other people about business and marketing. MK lady was first up this morning. It was very helpful to me to get a different view point on what I do and sales in general. Hopefully OVDC and I will get together Wednesday for our talk. I stopped by there today for my treatment and I answered business questions for her, but I do want to pick her brain on general stuff she does around the office.

Kitcat and I got together last night. I helped her with hanging a few things around her place. It looked nice with pictures hanging on the wall now. It's still coming together. I have to admit when its just the two of us we have a great ole time talking. While I have nothing against the Boy Scouts, I'm not a big fan over the next month. Kitcat's son has a bunch of events with them and with her weekends with him it's going to be slim pickings with each of us seeing each other. This time around its going to be a full week. Not really happy about that.

Pinning it on You

I've spent 3 out of the last 4 nights over at Kitcat's place. We're enjoying each others time and I have to admit we have a great time just talking. Our conversations are starting to be peppered with revelations of family of origin issues. Things seem to be moving along the way they should be. I can see Kitcat is a little insecure with little things in her life since so much is going on. Like last night she was having a nightmare so I just put my arm fully around her and pulled her close and she seemed to quiet down. She was apologetic about waking me and I told her that I had no clue if she woke me or something else did. Since the oceanfront is good for some loud, weird sound at all times of the night.

Kitcat did pull out a picture of what she looked like when she had thyroid problems and had gained a lot of weight. I wouldn't have been able to pick her out of a line up. She looked so different it was amazing.

On the other foot is that Kitcat talks about when she gets back on her feet fully and I know she will. She's very goal oriented and works things out nicely. However this gets me since I still struggle to get back to where I want to be and its been a few years. This brings me back to my homework from my business coach. So today I set up a lunch with OVDC. While she is not a top business person she does have the office I would want so why not tap into that first. Over the next week I'll start calling around the area to talk to other DCs.

I tell you sometimes a feel like I'm playing God with my Mom. For my whole life, getting blood drawn from my Mom was always a problem. She has very tiny veins and you have to be really good to do so or she becomes a pin cushion. Since she has a artificial heart valve she needs to take a blood thinner. This needs to be monitored. Most of the problems she has now are from the strokes she had when her levels went awry. The levels have been stable for a long while now. I've asked her doctor to see if she can just have a stable dose of her blood thinner since they now need to have a specialist come in to get blood from my Mom.

The Show That Went On

I went over Kitcat's last night after my beach walk with L. She was sad since she had closed up her business yesterday as she segways into a new profession. From what I've seen she was good at the diet industry and I know she wished her divorce hadn't affected her business. I know from first hand experience it does a number on it. I want to pick her brain on marketing since I can see she is very good at it. When she wanted to go to Europe she made it happen with a lot of deals. Now she is doing the same to go a few places in the states.

Last night was a first for us. Sex in an actual bed. Usually we've been tearing into each other in the living room with clothes flying. Her cats haven't been scarred yet. I'm not quite sure if the occupants of the hotel across the street watched, although I hear they can put on a good show. The best thing was being able to relax next to each other afterwards and talk. Its usually at that moment when we're all the most vulnerable. I could see I was feeling this missing from our relationship. Kitcat and I seem to be going down a different path than I usually go. Nothing wrong with it, but things that I come to look forward to were missing and that was one of them. The other was falling asleep next to each other.

Kitcat's window opens up onto the strip at the oceanfront. While pretty to look at its noisy as hell. We fell asleep with them open and I was awoken frequently from drunks yelling, cars revving, etc. However like I told her this morning it was worth it. At least the noise probably blocked us out too. One thing that I do know with Kitcat is that she does like me.

L found me a place to live that will open in a few months. It's a lot closer than OVDC's place. So I'll ask Tone what her schedule is when I see her in 2. This place would be about $200 more a month than I'm paying now, but it would be a nice place. So I'll see.

The Porn Factor

I'm happy that Tone is replacing the roof soon. I was awoken several times by a very loud lead somewhere over my bedroom. Talking to OVDC today she informed me that a nice apartment is open next to her old place. It would be $200 more a month than I'm paying now, but I would be right on the water with a pier walking out on to it. It would be a bit of a drive from office though. I still plan to talk to Tone when she comes back down next time to see what her timeline is. I don't want to be looking for a place with only 30 days to go. I know I still have time, but being proactive will be good. I have to remember to take care of myself.

It's a slow this week which really doesn't make me happy. However it does motivate me to get out and talk to people on my list which I have been doing today. The real pain today is the violation I got for my sign. I was informed I could put a sign up for 21 days as long as it wasn't on the street. I have to call tomorrow to find out what the problem is.

Looking forward to seeing Kitcat tomorrow. I'll cut up all the vegetables tonight so when I get home tomorrow I can just start since we both won't be getting off work till around 7. I tell you it's nice to have someone to joke around with throughout the day.

Lastly I had some free time yesterday so I took the Maxim's quiz on telling the difference between female newscasters and porn stars. Holy crap did I fail miserably. Everyone who I thought for sure was porn was a newscaster. Even the lady I would have bet my life on. I'm not quite sure which is worse, me not knowing or how these women look.

Getting Back to Normal

Well it's day 1 of getting back to my regular scheduled program. I never really gave my heart to Asp so it's not really painful. However just daily habits need to be exorcised like the texting and calls. I have to admit it was nice to sleep soundly last night which I hadn't been doing all week. So I dropped off the replacement bulb for her microwave in her mailbox today after my appointment with OVDC. If she text me to thank me I'll have an idea if she can do this friend thing or not.

It was good to get to the gym today and I need to get back in the swing of things with that. I've been spotty all year long which is no good for me. Plus this week with going to see Eric I won't be walking with L.

Every once in a while I clean house on FB to drop people I don't really communicate with. I don't need to have a million friends in my counter. I just need to have people I care about. So I got a rush of them over the last week from people I dropped off over the last few months. I was surprised Tango girl put a request in. While I think she's very attractive I don't think we have it to make a relationship. Although I haven't talked to her in a while and I knew she was new from marriage then.

I tell you since my car broke down 2 years ago when I went to visit Eric I still get a dread fear when I'm going to drive up there. It's been with me for a week or so now. That waiting for the other shoe to drop. I find myself getting in my car thinking it's not going to start up this time. I'm really trying to let it go cause it's not helping me any.

Bad Math

It was interesting Asp also got an offer for a second job yesterday. It would be good for her if it comes through since it would play with what she likes to do. When she would have free time is beyond me.

I talked to my business coach about my offer since he runs the same organization in other cities. What I thought he pay would be was double the true amount which sucked. Also when we sat down and did the math we couldn't think of how they would be paying for all of it. All we could figure out was a one time sum and then small change if someone else joined. Not my cup of tea.

I find myself in that dead man's zone with Asp. I'm not yet ready to throw in the towel, but I'm not looking to put more energy into it. As friends we seem to do well, but beyond that it's not what it was during our first month. I texted her after our conversation last night to see if she was coming to game night with me Saturday. When I awoke this morning it was still quiet. I had no reason to do my usual "good morning" text. I figured I'd get around to it when I got to the office 3 hours later. About 2 hours she finally responded that she had turned her ringer off last night which I've never seen her do. She said she wasn't up to it this weekend. Asp didn't give any options of us getting together and I don't feel like picking up the slack this time. I know the more time that goes by the less I'll care.

I'm surprised as was OVDC that business hasn't picked up this week with all the snow. The news keeps talking about everyone in the ER with back pain. Why this hasn't translated into new business is weird. I hate slow weeks.

The View

I was telling OVDC and German girl that I'm trying to slow things down with Asp. Not for any red flags, but just processing time. At this point I think Asp would have me at her place every night which for 3 weeks is a bit much. I think I'll max out at 3 nights at her place. I do like Asp, but I don't want to speed through this on sex and good feelings. OVDC was saying that Asp really did like me to have me over so much which I knew. However it's always good to hear it from someone else.

I met my landlord's ex last night and she was a nice person. I do something I do a lot with people that have money or positions of power. I put them on a high pedestal which makes me feel less than. It really causes me a lot of anxiety. Their was no need for it and for many parts of the evening my medical expertise was needed. I was happy that my attorney recommendation worked out for the landlord for his will, trusts, etc. It did focus him which gave him his sanity back. The guy is a very logical person and when it's outside the box like a lot of his health is now he can become insane. I was very happy for the night because it was pretty normal which helped me. We sorted out more of my care taker job. It could be for the long haul since the house is worth a lot. I learned the people across the street started selling their house at 1.2 million and are down to 750K and still can't sell it. So I could be here for a while. The good thing is that I have friends in the industry to get a heads up when things are starting to turn.

The Photographer called today to reschedule her appointment. Why? Because she was losing a pound a day. She's being tested up the wazoo to find out the problem. I felt like saying what is everyone dying around me.

I did my stats for the office and I'm up 13% for the year from last year. I'm happy it's up, but I had hoped it would be more. I still need to make 10k more a year to be making a normal salary again instead of the McDonald wages I earn now.

Misery

I see misery loves company today. Asp is sick down in Florida. I feel bad that she drove 15 hours to be sick. Hopefully the over the counter stuff works. I told her the vitamin C method to get rid of the cold and she said she would do it later, but we'll see.

Asp and Saturn girl asked if I could call Savant to see how he's doing. His mother threatened suicide this morning and is in the hospital now. She does have schizophrenia so there are a lot of underlying issues. I know he wanted to put her some place since it's gotten to hard for him to keep her at his house. Having dealt with suicide and my ex over 16 years I guess I have the experience.

OVDC was telling me that a mutual friend, the acupuncturist, lost his place in the storm last week. I'll talk to the landlord tonight to see if he's interested in renting at the moment. Since he's battling whatever is ailing him I'm not quite sure he wants to do it. Although the acupuncturist is a quiet guy and would be no problem. Actually I think we would be more of a problem, well namely the kids. He just likes quietness and he's pretty shy. Other than that he's a stand up guy and would be drama free.

I'm relaxing today with the last day of me being 42. I have a HUGE window open today in the appointment book. Early morning and evening only. I hate the holidays when it comes to work. So you know if you ever want to do anything medically this is the time of year to do it. Every one's thoughts turns to the holidays and shopping. Procedures and exams that normally need weeks of scheduling become next or same day service. This was my public service announcement.

Pink Day

When OVDC has a cancellation she colors it pink in her appointment book. When you get a bunch of them you have a pink day. Since I just delete them from my schedule, I'm computerized, I've taken her term. It was like freaking dominoes here this morning. One after another until my whole morning was free and so was my early afternoon. Seriously WTF? It does come in waves and this has been a tsunami week or at least the last 2 days. So I'll have to pay my rent tomorrow and tell the landlord that tonight. I hate that.

One thing I truly hate are phone books. We have like 4-5 different ones here for some ungodly reason. So about every 3-4 months we get a new stack of these books. Now I know why the Amazon rain forest is disappearing. I can barely stand my copy, but since we have 3 other suites in my hallway which are empty. I get to find a stack of these mothers blocking the door. I have no where to toss these piles of crap except across the lot at the dumpster.

Kids and their perceptions. Lost likes to crawl on my shoulders when I sit down to either play with the kids or read to them. For some reason she always has to point out that I'm losing hair. I try to explain it to her, but it doesn't seem to sink in. It's not like the landlord isn't bald so I'm not quite sure what it is.

Welcome to my web

When I grew up it was just my Mom and me. Occasionally my middle brother would be around to join us, but that's what happens when there is a 4 year gap. So it's a treat for me to sit around a table with a lot of people. We now number 7 around the table with 3 of them being children. It's fun to joke around and talk.

I see Inverse has her plan all set up. First off was the daisy dukes which I have to admit pretty much sold me. Anyway she informed me that I was sitting next to her at the table. I was ousted from my normal seat. Any lull in the conversation was followed by a question about how I was doing.

So anyway the landlord has given her 3 months to stop smoking or get out. She's never been able to stop so I don't see any change coming. So I might have to start keep track of this and agree to sex about the 2 month period. Since she will have plans already in motion to be someplace else by 3.

I was very happy that OVDC was able to get me in today. All the stress of the last few days had done a number on my body and it was nice to get some treatment. I was so nice and relaxed afterwards. Hopefully it will last. I could use another massage, but I don't see any in the near future.

The Elixir of Life

In all my research on my withdrawal symptoms. The common statement was to take a lot of B vitamins. So when I was out last night at the store I picked up a bottle of sub lingual B complex. The stuff is working pretty well, let me tell you. I maybe swigging the stuff every 2-3 hours, but that lightheaded and dizziness are almost non-existent. Since B vitamins are water soluble I'm good.

OVDC will always say that she takes her hat off to me on my marketing skills since I'm always pounding the pavement. This week is hitting all the private school and college athletic coaches to treat the athletes. Their excited about it since no one else is doing it and I told them I would lecture for free and adjust the athletes for $25. So far two private schools down. I'm going after Virginia Wesleyan college tomorrow.

I tell you it's weird having a new family now at the house. No complaints mind you, just weird. I had one of the kids knock on my door to say goodnight last night. It's just been so long with me and the landlord that now to have all these people is weird. I'm hoping to have a nickname for the new woman tonight.

One of my friends from college who I've talked in the past about, but I'm surprised I never gave her a nickname. Jeez thinking up nicknames is getting harder and harder. Let's just call her Lee cause it was her maiden name. Anyway when we were in college I had to admit I had the hots for her. She was in a unhappy marriage and a bit nuts so hey she was perfect for me. No, nothing ever happened. Anyway as school went on she got crazier and crazier and I just pulled away more and more. Years ago she had contacted me to see if I every got married to my ex. When she learned that I had the communication died off quickly. Anyway she lives in the western part of the state and we see each other at seminars, plus Facebook. Lee is still a very attractive woman, but the insane streak is still there. We'll still talk a lot when we see each other, but this is no longer a deeper relationship connection for me. Anyway I was surprised to see a comment from her saying if I couldn't find a woman in VA. Beach I should come out and try women in her city. I guess I got put back on her menu again. My answer to her was that I hate to drive across the water which is where she has family. I didn't even mention driving 4 freaking hours. I've done long distance relationships before and I'll never do it again.

To Purge or Not to Purge

Well I did some good purging today. In my storage unit not my lunch. I was able to eliminate 7 boxes of stuff, 2 suitcases, and a coffee maker. Most of the boxed stuff was books that while I enjoyed very much I know I won't read again, nor do I have any emotional attachment to them. You may ask what emotional attachment do I have to my paperbacks. It's to the Red Sonja series that came out almost 30 years ago. I had always read comics as a kid, but could never find a paperback that interested me in the kid section of the library. I found one of these books in Waldenbooks and finished it in a day and that as they say was it. I was hooked on fantasy and science fiction books and have have been devouring them ever since. So I was a little sad to drop off 3 boxes full of books to the thrift store. The rest of the stuff I didn't care about. The suitcases were my Mom's and she doesn't need them anymore. I don't drink coffee and if I ever want to have one I'll buy one.

I also found some stuff I could see on Half.com. Some books and old video games that seem to hold there value very well.

The new book I'm reading How to Make Someone Fall in Love with You in 90 minutes is making me think. It is helping me flip the coin over. I try not to focus on being good enough for the other person and this is helping me evaluate how I feel when I'm with someone and is it what I want. I had read his other book on business which was very helpful.

I tell you I tweaked my low back last week at the gym. Two guys were exercising their mouths which happens a lot at the gym. Anyway I though I had enough room, but I didn't so I twisted while holding the weight, something I know you shouldn't do. Well it's been nagging me every since. With OVDC and my own treatment it was getting better, but I flared it up today with all the box lifting in the unit.

The Train has Left the Station

I finally got all caught up with all my blog reading. Only when I'm busy and can't read do I realize how many blogs I read cause they really add up fast when you don't read them. It's like rabbits on Viagra. I've been trying over the last few days to easy the load, but the unending entries was undoing all my work. I did perfect my system of who I can read fast and who I need time to read.

Yes I'm still grumbling about seeing more patients and making less money. While I know intellectually it will all work out in time. Here in the now it sucks. I am happy to know that my business is gaining ground while everyone else is losing it.

I am so looking forward to my friend's client appreciation tonight. I supplied the massage therapist for free chair massages and I can use one. OVDC is on vacation this week so I didn't get adjusted this week. With all the extra work and I've been hitting the weights heavier I can feel the toll on my body.

It's funny with German girl. We've known each other for 3 years now. Not a week has gone by that we haven't emailed each other. There is no dating chemistry between us, but we both think each other is very attractive. So it was very funny yesterday on FB when she's demanding shirtless photos of me on my hikes with L.

Priorities

You know I'm happy it's a busy day in the office. I was happier when it was a record breaker, but I had one now show patient. She was the weakest link in the schedule and she didn't show. Actually this is the second time she's pulled a no show which is weird since she's always good about this. The pattern is if she can't make it that day it ain't happening.

It's very funny. Everyone wants to know what's going on in my dating life. Even OVDC asked today about my bachelorhood. When I said nothing she was like come on there's always something. I see that I entertain many of you with my dating adventures. Anyway I told her like I told everyone else that I was taking a break. I know that dating takes my focus and my money, two things that I need right now. My business and Eric are my priorities until the end of the summer. If I can get the business a lot stronger than it covers everything else. However for the moment its borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. The other is I want Eric to come back down next month so it's being added to my budget which at the moment is in the red.

On the home front I got at least 80% of my puzzle done. I'm seriously starting to believe I'm missing a few pictures. My Landlord asked if I wanted to hang it when I was finished since he was doing the same with his. Now no offense to anyone, but nothing screams white trash to me than hanging a puzzle up on the wall.

I Don't Mind

Well it's the end of a good day at the office. If I had a day like today everyday (patients, collections, etc.) I would be extremely happy. However the rest of the week is looking a little lean. This month I've instituted a $5 Starbuck gift card for those who refer to me. I didn't announce it and I won't. It'll just be a surprise when they get it in the mail. My coach was very interested in this since that's the legal limit in the medical field while the financial field it's $50.

My friend the Doula volunteered to look over all my work for grammatical errors which was great. So I'll send her my weekly motivations each week so she can tweak them for me. I think she might be feeling bad that I do a lot and she's having a hard time keeping at my level.

I think I've solved my non-fully rested problem. I haven't been adjusted in a few weeks. OVDC got married, honeymooned, and then has been playing catch up so I'm suffering. I can't wait to see her Wednesday.

Funny bone with the singles last night was great. We saw Mark Eddie. It was the first time I've seen a comic come on stage with a guitar and really playing. The guy has done back ups with Browne, Etheridge, etc. So his entire routine revolved around music. It was awesome. He had the whole audience singing with him.

I've discovered how to fuck with the Fed Ex guy without even trying. I was doing paperwork in the office today and my open sign wasn't even there, but he walked in with 2 boxes. I thought it was a salesman so I told him I didn't want any and went back to work. He just looked at me like I had 3 heads.
