I am such a diva.

Seriously. My last post? Pathetic.

I'm in the high-tech business! I know that information flows in at warp speed and part of my job is to manage it well.

I guess I just wasn't managing it well right at that moment so I whined a little.

I apologize. You guys deserve better than that. Like TV trivia, perhaps.

Ok, so what about Dexter? Is anyone watching that right now? I am so hooked on that show, when Deborah dropped yet another f-bomb in a conversation in the last episode, I looked at G.G. and said, 'You know, she's charming in kind of a prickly, fresh, no bullshit way.' He just looked at me and said he didn't think she could be considered charming..that wasn't quite the right word.

Ok, G.G.

And what about House??? I love that show, I do, but I have to confess, it's starting to wear on me a little. I'm tiring of the incessant mind games, though I love the new characters, and the reintro of the older ones...that was cool. But it's starting to feel strained and really contrived to me. This has happened before, where I'm forced to take a House break, so I'm not too worried, just noticing is all.

And Grey's Anatomy? WTH? Teddy..poor Teddy. And Derek and Meredith, can they handle this setback? And what about Avery and Lexi and...there is a whole buttload of darkness right now that they need to start digging out of, in  my opin. The prior episode had some of the older style lightness and banter and general humor that we've all come to love in those characters/situations..but this last one. Yikes. I had just started to believe that the beloved crew could work their myriad problems out..now, I'm not so sure. And honestly, I would have watched this week's episode no matter what anyway!

Oh, and those of you who know me will love this. I won the football pool this week! It was no small feat, and it came down to points at the very end (which my boss, who happened to be in the running, too, is protesting...something about combined score closest to, but not over, which was the rule for the last pool we had but not for this one so I was two points over the combined but he was six points under so technically I was closest) so it was exciting and G.G. actually kept me updated during the annual boys soccer banquet last night..he'd occasionally whisper the score...which felt a little clandestine, and fun..

I don't know for sure what the pot looks like, but I'm going to split it with G.G.

Because we all know that without his insight, I'd NEVER stand a chance of winning that silly pool, even for just one week.

Experiencing system issues

Last night we booked my return flight from Rhode Island. The one I'll be taking once I've situated Daughter in her dorm digs. We used rapid rewards, which tends to take a little longer than other transactions. But still. We were on the phone for almost an hour. An hour! Really? And we had to give them the credit card number 5 times. For one flight and one rental car. I'm just sayin' you guys may be the best bet out there in terms of airline choices, but come on! At least provide fun Hold music if you're going to make people engage for that long. Seriously.

It might have been the moon

 The second Super Moon, also a Harvest Moon, just happened. On the same night I had my mini-meltdown. (see prior post). I've talked with several friends who reported intense emotions, mostly around stuff that needs to be released, resolved. When I think about my angst, and how intense it felt, I realize it was all about that kind of stuff. Old stuff, patterns, thinking, habits. So maybe the moon precipitated things. The bubbling up of angst and anger and icky stuff lasted all that night, but had calmed by yesterday morning. Thank gawd, because that was a morass of darkness, the likes of which I haven't experienced in at least a decade. The rest of the weekend has been pleasant. Uneventful. Full of errands, chores, a really nice walk this morning, yummy food, naps, etc. The one thing about energy that feels constant is that no mood lasts forever. Energy continually shifts and morphs, like the Universe knows too much, too long, of any one sentiment just isn't a good idea for ...

Too much of the wave

My new running shoes? Are killing me. My knees, my hips, it's ridiculous. As much as I loved their cousins, the single wave Mizunos, I don't love these, the double wave Mizunos. Which kind of sucks because: 1. The store I bought them from has a 30 day return policy, and it's been twice that. 2. I spent half again as much on a stepped up model assuming that extra technology would be twice as good for me and my runs and it turns out I was dead wrong. 3. My knees hurt. My hips hurt. I have a bad attitude that will probably go away by tomorrow when I don my old versions of the waves and go for a walk that feels just fine thankyouverymuch. But I see Advil in my future this afternoon. This isn't bad for other reasons including: 1. I may not have to give up running entirely, but I definitely need to give up the double waves. 2. I am not crazy. When I stopped wearing the shoes for a week? The pain went away. Completely. But I didn't make the connection betwe...
