That Was The Week That Was

Not many folks will remember the TV show, but believe me, it's true in this case. Today is my first day off in over a week. And look, someone found the rainbow's end! (Click to embiggen.)

Worked three days at job #1, and trained three in a row at the new job where a lot more goes into making it work than previously thought. There's a science to everything involved. I continue to be coached, while learning the logic and common sense behind every decision that must be made. A far cry from when I worked a similar job in New York when I was 22 years old - that would be 40 years ago - when there was little responsibility surrounding the post.

Well, I have nothing if not common sense, so it's only a matter of time and experience before I get a good handle on things.

Topped off yesterday with a wonderful gift from G*d - my friend Elizabeth come down for a few days and wanted to have dinner together. Before meeting at Dos Locos, she had a hair appointment, and since her birthday is next week, treated herself to a Thai massage (which she insists I must have, as well). By the time we were seated she was relaxed and energized, we had crab legs and our signature Sapphire Martini, laughed a lot, talked about serious stuff a bit, totally enjoying the company we were in for two hours. A real love fest. All in all, a fantastic ending to a hectic week.

She reminded me of how far I've come in the past three years since losing everything in the break up and was astounded that I have taken on a job that is out of my comfort zone, but something at which I will be very good. From her mouth to G*d's ear.

BTW, Dos Locos is also the site of the new job.

Today will be a quiet one. Cooking, music, NPR, a walk, and reading my fave blogs are the order of the day.

Tomorrow it starts all over again but I can look forward to two days off next week. Whatever will I do with myself with two whole days to myself? We'll think of something, for sure.

Today life is good and I feel blessed.

More later.
