It's a New Day

I haven't come down to earth yet. Still flying high with the awesome news about the contract. I had a bit of a meltdown last night. I was laughing, crying, and going nuts all at once, and my computer and printer didn't want to talk to each other so I could print up the contract and invoice. I got it figured out. The printer cord wasn't completely connected to the USB port, so disconnecting it and reconnecting it did the trick and I got 5 copies of the invoice and two copies of the contract. Today will be a busy day for me. I need to do laundry, but it won't be at my son's. He's sicker than a dog, so is my grandson. So, he called to tell me not to come over, to do it at the laundromat instead. So, I need to go to the bank for quarters. I did tell him the good news about the contract and the offer my publisher made for him to do designs/illustrations for books. He's interested and told me to give her his number, which I did. I also have a hair appointment this morning. So, I'm going to try to fit hair and laundry in this morning, but that might not be possible. I'm eating breakfast at the moment, and then I'm headed out. I needed to go shopping this morning. I needed stamps to mail out the contract, which you can get at Wal-Mart and I needed food. It really helps to have that if you're going to eat. So, my eating is a result of shopping. It's been a very good day already this morning, starting in the pool. If I can get everything done this morning, as I hope, I'll be taking a nap as soon as I get home. The excitement of the past 24 hours has me totally wired for excitement and was up at 1:20 AM. If I don't take a nap today, I will be going to bed early tonight. Most likely crash and sleep soundly, I hope if that's the case. How is your day going? It's going to be 80 today, with a beautiful sunny day, here. Thanks for reading.

I schedule mine when I get mine done. My next appointment is October 10, then it will be a cut and color. I hope it turned out just the way you like it.

Thank you. I think this excitement isn't going to wear off any time soon. I'm starting to feel the effects of little sleep. It's going to be an early night.

@just4him I wound up taking one more night off from the gym for my sore arm. It is still swollen and tender. I'll go back tomorrow.

I can understand your reactions. To bad your son and grandson are sick, hopefully they'll get better soon. You know, for me too, eating is the result of shopping . Apparently I do a lot of shopping... Take care and enjoy your hair day, but after that you should get some sleep. You need to have a full tank of energy for the next days, right?

Yes, I do. Tomorrow will be another morning away from home, but I won't be doing anything physical other than my time in the gym. I have an appointment at the hospital.

@just4him all I have is work these days, the morning is for some little things that I have to do. Today I took my son to kindergarten at 8:20, then I took my wife to her office at 8:55 and then I walked home. On my way I met my goddaughter and we talked for a while and now I'm finally home for my breakfast .

Going nice. It is sunny here and as of yet no pop up showers like we have been gettin which should help the ground to day up more from Gordon last week when we got 12 inches

It's already Thursday morning here, Valerie, 1:02 AM to be exact. I have no plans yet but probably I will be going out to run some errands (do grocery shopping and buy some maintenance medicines for myself). There's a super typhoon here and signals were raised in some provinces in Luzon. As per 11 PM advisory, the super typhoon has maintained its strength as it moves west-northwestward.
