NC Business Trip
I think the Eden, NC trip was a success. I’m glad Melissa came along. There was a lot of ground to cover and we basically split it down the middle. We didn’t get a sign-off on the payroll interface yet, but will do that this week. I think that’s the only thing left un-done. I spent a lot of time working with their FSA, (Functional System Administrator) and don’t feel real confident in her abilities, but maybe with time and help from her co-workers, things will be ok. Time will tell.Â
Both Melissa and I got colds while there, probably on the plane going over. This weekend I feel like crap. Can’t get rid of the headache, sinuses so stuffed I can’t sleep, etc etc. *whine* I sat around allllll day yesterday, doing nothing. Well, I actually got up and made breakfast for Mom, Dad and myself. We chit-chatted for awhile, then I helped them load up their stuff before they left. So I guess I can’t really say I did NOTHING all day. 
Today I will try to accomplish things. I have some BBHS work to do, unpack, laundry, dishes, stuff li’dat. I have got to get my fridge cleaned out too. There is SO much junk in there! I kept digging out little bits of leftovers yesterday, finishing them up and putting empty containers in the sink. Ok ok so I drank the 5 cans of beer that were in there too. heheheh 
 All in the interest of cleaning out the fridge! I guess I should run the virus scan on my work laptop too, and be sure all my reports and summaries are in order before tomorrow morning. I think I’ll leave the expense reports for my first-thing-tomorrow task.Â
My kitties were all over me when I came home Friday night. Boy that felt good! I think they finally realize that this is their home, I am their human, and I’m not going to desert them. The first trip in June, they were still sort-of hiding from me when I came back. The San Diego trip, well they were alone in the apartment for 3+ days so they were sorta hesitant to greet me when I finally got home. Not this time! 
 After all the activity of the past several weeks, the graduation trip, Brian being here, Heather visiting a lot, driving to/from Mom and Dad’s, the lake, the cousins, Laura’s visit, ALL that stuff, well… When Mom and Dad left yesterday, I came back inside and things felt strangely still. I said to myself, “Well, I’m alone again.” I think they knew I was starting to feel it again because just then, both cats came out of my room and started rubbing up against me, demanding attention and quite possibly their “treat” of a can of food.  I’m still trying to adjust to that ache in my heart while I sit here by myself… but these cats sure make it a LOT easier.Â
Ok I’m rambling. I just love my kitties.Â
I’m sort-of sad that I couldn’t drive Brian to the airport and say good-bye to him there. It will probably be easier this time, though. That’s because I can call him on Sundays. I’m going to ask him to make that his “call Mom” day. I am glad he got RA (Recruiter’s assistance) because he got to spend more time with his friends. Altho that meant less time for me, it made him very happy. That’s what matters most to me.  So it is Sunday today, and I will try calling him. He managed to break his new cell phone already! He promised he would pay for a replacement, so maybe next weekend I will drive out to Platteville and get a new one for him. It’s not totally broken, just the inside screen doesn’t work anymore. That’s good, cuz I want to talk to him today.
This post is plenty long, long enough. I need to get up out of this bed sooner or later, and go out to the store. At least to get Kleenex! I’m on the last few in the last box in this whole apartment. Sheeesh! I should get a decongestant too, I guess. I have to work tomorrow and it won’t be easy feeling the way I do today. Tomorrow will be better, right? :neutral:
It’s been awhile since the last post so I guess this makes up for it. Happy Sunday!Â
