Sunday Quote Blogging - A Few Days Late

"I had no worries when I had no doubts,
Courage was something I could live without"

Hmmmm...where to start? Well it's been a rather strange week filled with lots of stress from work that was complicated with stress from my personal life over the weekend. An emotional weekend to say the least, but I did end up getting a lot done in effort to distract myself from stuff I'd just rather not think about.

Work stress is just work stress, & will hopefully only last until the end of the month or so. Friday at work, after a long, annoying meeting that took me away from doing huge projects that are far more important than anything discussed in the meeting, I found out my best friend from High School Grandmother died. I knew her and even though I hadn't seen her since High School, I can know how much she did for Juanita & what a huge gap she helped fill in her life. My boss ordered me to take Saturday off work as a "mental health day" and I must say that I needed it.

Friday night I had dinner with my friend Matt, which was good because it lightened my mood & forced me to eat something. (My stomach doesn't react well to mass amounts of emotion & stress). I returned home after dinner in a much healthier mindset.

Saturday went bye in a blur. I had to stop into work to turn in my time sheet, but socialized with everybody rather than working. Spent the afternoon lounging around writing a couple letters. And I rented & watched Deliverance in the evening.

Sunday I spent the morning relaxing with coffee & the late afternoon & evening at the viewing. Yesterday was the funeral. I hate getting emotional in front of people, but I didn't have much of a fight in me.

Got to talk to my good friend B last night on the phone. Always good conversation right when I need it.

Today work was far more productive than it has been the past 2 weeks combined because I had no meetings & removed myself from the distractions of the office to finish a project. It's done at last...now for the bigger project that follows. Randy & I had a great evening Ice Skating outside at Ottawa Park. Weather was perfect & the ice was nearly empty!

Tomorrow I get to shoot guns at work (nervous) & then go to an icky doctors appointment. Fun stuff. Anyways, sorry this is so long. But it has been a while...& it might just be a while before the next one, so enjoy the silence while it lasts.
