Wow! What a week is has already been. I can say that I love being the first into the office every morning. I get more work done between 7-9am than I can do with others here from 10am on. I love having the office to myself in the mornings. I can work at my desk with a venti Starbucks coffee and no interruptions (well, except the few random phone calls before 9am). It's wonderful to have some time to organize things around the office without disturbing or explaining to everyone what I am doing. I really want to hang a few things on the walls, but with my prior record, it's best that I get some help for that. It can wait.
Paul is on a flight somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on his way to Melbourne, Australia. Last time I checked he was just over 1/2 way between LA and MEL. It's just over 15 hours in the air. I can't begin to imagine. However, he is being treated quite well in business class once again. He'll be gone until next Thursday at least. We knew that there was a chance he'd be going soon, but I don't think that either of us expected that he would leave yesterday. I have not figured out what I'm going to do with my time while he is away. Last night was incredibly long... and I even had a FRESH Gilmore Girls to entertain me. I also have a new book of "movie music" from the 20th century to challenge my piano skills. I did master "Moon River" and most of the theme to Forrest Gump ("Feather Song"). I am slightly concerned about our grass... it is growing like a weed (well, that may be b/c there are quite a few weeds mixed in with the fescue). I do not do grass. I do not have the slightest clue how to start the mower, let alone how to drag it across the yard and make it look decent. Hopefully the HOA won't notice. Eh, I don't care!
Totally random and off topic... I've been following the primary race for a NC House seat in Buncombe County. I met the candidate, Doug Jones, my freshman year of college. I had just lost in the freshmen senator election and wanted to somehow be involved with Student Government. I was directed to Doug as he was forming a committee of non-SGA members to look at ... um... something I cannot recall at the moment, but it was important, I'm fairly certain. Anyway, he got me involved with SGA and the next semester a seat in the senate opened and I was in... long story short, I served in SGA in various capacities from then on. It was an important part of my college career, although I was NEVER the SGA type. It was great fun. Anyway, back to my point, Doug Jones was in the running for the Dem. primary, he won. I can't say that I am in agreement with his party and platform, but I know he has a passion and I am excited to see him win the primary. Here are the results:
NC HOUSE DISTRICT 116
