Another month come and gone...

Ok, so time for a new post. So much has been going on the last month or so that I've had a hard time finding time to update. After my last post, I drove down to Columbia to help Shell move into her new apartment. It's a cute place close to where she works. Hopefully we'll be able to stay in touch even with the few hours distance. The following weekend, Tom, Joe, Lindsay and I went to Chicago for a roller derby bout. It was the first time I had ever seen the "new" roller derby but the weekend was a lot of fun. We also were able to see the Sears Tower and walk around Navy Pier. That weekend went by extremely fast, but it was a blast and I'm becoming a fan of the roller derby.

For the most part though I've spent the majority of my time working. Business is booming right now and some of our customers are requiring more detail for their billing due to the high surcharges on hauling loads so I've spent quite a bit of time working on special projects. It's definitely kept me busy and out of trouble for the most part.

Finally last weekend we cut loose and M and I hit one of our local dance spots to catch one of our favorite bands and dance the night away. It was great to just get out there and kick it. The band was awesome as usual and we met some of the band members during the break between sets -- very nice guys if I may say so, even after M ran into the guitar player! :)

This week has been very strange for me and I'm not exactly sure why. My head has not been thinking and working clearly for the last few days and I don't have any answers as to what is wrong. I thought I was all caught up at 5 pm on Wednesday and I left work and came home to have dinner and all of a sudden I remembered I forgot to send all of my Wednesday reports to my boss and the President of the Company. I have one task that has to be completed on Wednesday afternoons and I forgot to do it. What is going on with me?!? I took a deep breath and drove back to work and sent my reports. Thank goodness I live only a few miles away from work and I was able to go back in with no problems and get my stuff finished. Thursday the work group went to Parties at the Plaza at Westport after work and I think that is exactly what I needed because I was able to get through today with very few issues. And I did not forget to send out my weekly reports before I left for the weekend! I still can't figure out what is going on because I seem to have less stress now than about a year ago but I'm still having issues that I can't pinpoint. Hopefully my head will clear out a bit in the next few weeks and I can go back to what I consider normal.

Speaking of the weekend, this weekend I'm driving out to my dad's to spend a little time out there and to see my cousin Nicole's dance recital tomorrow night. I haven't been to a recital of hers in a few years so I know I will be surprised to see how good she is now that she's grown up a little. I also get to hang out with my bro, who I haven't seen in a few months. I always love hanging out with him so it should be fun. As for the rest of the weekend...who knows...I would love to just lay out and get some sun because it's supposed to be a nice weekend. We'll see if I get to relax at all!

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
