Riley is looking at me like I’m nuts because I just woke up in a good mood! I called him to me from the floor and he came up to get some loving. I wish I woke up happy like this every day!
Yesterday I did something monumental. I spoke to my boss’ son-in-law about his behavior, and followed the conversation up with a formal complaint via email. He (C) was great about it all. He’s going to talk to my boss’ daughter and son and they will talk to him and be in touch. I feel good about this because I had to do something, and this choice gave them the chance to correct the wrong. We’ll see!
Before the communication with C, I had lunch with R. He’s been so supportive and his wife, she’s worried about me.
I also feel good because I went dancing last night and, though I stayed out later than planned, I drank “mock”tails all night, enjoyed them and stayed sober. I didn’t have to worry about meeting some jerk. I didn’t have to worry about driving home. And I didn’t have to worry about how I was going to feel this morning.
El was there last night and kept trying to talk to and dance with me. I finally told him to leave me alone. It’s awkward because going out was in answer to an invite from one of his friends. He’s just going to have to get used to the idea that I may be friends with his friends, and not give him the attention he wants anymore. He no longer gets to dance with me. It’s on him.
Man, dancing felt good! And I wore a really cute new (inexpensive) dress, straightened my hair, and just felt really good. Clear-headed and strong.
I slept later than I’d like but I would say it was worth it.
This morning, after 9, I’m going to mow my front yard. Then maybe take Riley to the farmer’s market up the road. Maybe for a walk to some water he can get in. Then, at some point today, I will start my paint by number. It’s going to be a real project!
And, of course, there’s still the job hunt. Who knows what will really happen at work. I wouldn’t want to be that family this weekend, trying to figure out what to do. Best case scenario, I end up working for C instead of E. I need to keep looking for a job in any case.
Time for some more coffee! (Woke up earlier and started some, then decided to get a little more sleep)
Oh! I forgot to mention Riley barked at me yesterday evening to go for a walk! I guess he’d been couped up in the house for a couple of days due to the rain and he needed out. Now, he’s whining a little and I think thinking about going for another one. If only I could read his mind. 😉
And… I worked on my book some yesterday morning. Yay!
And… I have a date with a white-collar boy tomorrow. A NASCAR race!
I’m grateful for my family (who I may also visit today) my friends, Riley, my home, my health and my job! At least, for today, I still have one and now, I won’t be expected to be alone with E for a minute.
