 I was so busy at work today. I tried to focus on getting some work done, but I kept getting called into meetings. I don't know why, but whenever I am close to going on vacation, everyone decides that they need my help on something. I had a management meeting and then had to spend most of the afternoon with Clara. She has a lot more month-end reports than I do. I was so into work, that I almost stayed too long and would have missed my evening then Maria. Even so, I had to rush home and change to get to the restaurant on time.

 

Maria and I decided to go out for sushi after work. I managed to be only a few minutes late. We took a seat at the bar and ordered some wine and sushi. We've eaten here enough that the bartender remembers us. The bartender's name is Hope and she is so sweet. Maria and I are always impressed with how much she makes in tips as a bartender. She also told us about her new BMW (new to her) that she just bought. 

 

Maria and I then spent the evening spilling the tea. I told her about the private investigator call. We both wondered what Lee was worth and hoped that his wife takes him to the cleaners. She filled me in on her love life. During the evening, she invited me to her family for Easter Sunday. Maria is a great friend, and I am so thankful for her.  

Cheers for now.

  Today I met up with Maria for some pickle ball. Neither of us is very good at it but we had a lot of fun. We started by just playing the two of us, but after a while, an older couple asked if we wanted to play against them. I think they didn't have a court reserved and wanted to play. Neither Maria nor myself had an issue so we said yes. They were pretty good and gave us some great tips and pointers.  After our match, Maria and I headed to a little cafe where we had lunch and talked. After that, I went home and worked on housework.  Cheers for now.

      Today was my last round of dealing with the auditors. Today it was the procurement team. Again, they went over every penny and every day off that was taken. I don't know what they are looking for but if they don't find it, it won't because they didn't look hard enough for it. I am glad I am done with the audit. I spent the rest of the day getting as much done and getting ready for me being on vacation next week.   I talked with my sister tonight. We are both excited for my visit to New York City on Saturday. We plan on doing all the tourist thing and eating way too much good food.    Cheers for now.

  I was glad I had no meeting today as it allowed me to get a lot of work done. I managed to get all the proposal reviews done and presentations scheduled, I also got a lot of work done on my end-of-month reports. I did read in an email that our division HR Manager is leaving. I am sad to see her go. I called her and she told me that she got an offer for an HR Manager with another company in town and she said the pay was really good. It will be sad to see her go but I wished her the best and told her we needed to stay in touch.   After work, I got a call from my mom and dad. They had heard about Lee and wanted to make sure I was okay. Apparently, when it comes to my love life, there are no secrets.  My dad offered for him and Uncle Bob to come to town and "re-arrange the guy's face." I smiled and said that would not be necessary, that I had it handled and would be fine. My mom gave me some advice on how to deal with a bad break-up. I asked her if s...
