I am finally snapping out of it and I think that it's because I finally got my period. What a crazy emotional week this has been. I am feeling so much better today. I am actually going to head out of the house and run some errands. I want to swim after my session with Greg. It looks like it's going to be a great day.
Last night I went to the city and had a Sweet Heat at the St. Regis, dinner and comedy. It was really fun and relaxing although I did feel like I talked too much. But I have to lighten up and not be so hard on myself. I feel really lucky to have met such great, down to earth people who I enjoy hanging out with so much. There is no drama. It's just relaxed and fun. I wish Sheila was back but I hope she is having a great time. I won't get to see her since I am leaving on Wed. afternoon.
We saw James Judd present his life of envy, greed, gluttony, pride, lust, sloth, and wrath. He shared hilarious stories about trying to win his 5th Grade book report competition with My Search for Patty Hearst, his careers as a forgotten employee of AT&T, a dot.com journalist (leading to an insane night in a Chinese bordello), and as an under-prepared criminal defense attorney.
I can't believe I am going on a business trip again. It's so strange. I haven't missed the travel at all and it's going to be strange to back in London although it will only be 2 nights since I will be in Barcelona the rest of the time. The good news is I get to hang out with Leah. I am so looking forward to it. The best part is that I don't have to run the meeting; just sit back and help in observations. How cool. Although, I have a feeling that I will be asked to jump in since no one can usually control this bunch. I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
I am feeling very guilty that I won't be in Toronto for mom's operation but she also doesn't want both of us there at the same time. She tells her friends that it's too stressful her. I had a long chat and she told me that it was ok. She said that she is more concerned about my stress level right now and doesn't want to be visiting me in the hospital. I will see her for her birthday on my way back from the meeting in Italy. She will still be recovering. That way we each come at different times. It looks like I am going to be away more this summer than I had expected.
Yeah, the James Judd show was so much fun. I think we all walked out with big smiles on our faces. No, you don't talk too much! The talker would be me. Besides, we look forward to hearing about all trips and great work you are doing!
