Why is it that whenever you try to go on vacation, your workload dramatically increases? Any other day nobody needs anything from you, but try to go on vacation, and all of a sudden, everyone needs something from you.  I got to the office early for a client presentation. It went well and even ran long as they kept asking questions. I had another presentation after that. Once it was done, I worked on finishing all the reports. It was after 5 pm when I finally got to meet up with my manager, to go over everything he needs to cover while I was gone. Needless to say, it was a very long day.


On my way home, I grabbed some tacos from a drive-thru as I didn't feel like cooking tonight. Being so busy and focused on work this week, I didn't get a chance to pack until tonight. Packing for a trip is always a challenge for me. I start by grabbing all the clothes I want to bring. I then realize that it will not all fit and start weeding some out. It is not easy as we have 4 ports of call, 2 elegant nights, and various themed parties on the ship. I did manage to get it all into one suitcase.


I called my sister too. She is joining me on the cruise and her flight gets in later than mine. She will meet me at the hotel and we will board the ship tomorrow. I am so excited to hang out with Kayla for a whole week. I am going to enjoy this trip and hopefully manage to get a tan (I usually just turn red like a lobster).

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...
