This weekend thus far has gone down as one to remember. I haven’t had a weekend like this in quite some time.
Well wait let me start at the beginning….this week has been pure unadulterated HELL!!!
What started out as a good week…cause ya know Monday is always one of those days…then tuesday came. we had 3 meetings at work. each one more drastic than they other. i couldn’t wait for the week to be done. i had barely gotten any sleep the previous week b/c i was at the hair shop every night just about trying to get my loc’s finished. well last week was Boule and Centennial…i got to participate in NONE of the activities. I got super sick on thursday and ended up leaving work early. I was supposed to go to two appointments friday morning (which i made…and got more meds for my cold) then i came home and drugged myself to an oblivion with orange juice and all the additionals. well come sunday i was feeling better. i was able to breathe (minus the allergies) and wasn’t hacking up brown phelgm.
anyways back to my week…tuesday after the meetings i was told i had to finish my FOW, and get it to the director to match the slides for Friday’s presentation. so that was my day on wednesday. thursday my direct line supervisor (my pm) was out all day…and i got a butt load of work done. no one calling, stopping by my cube…work was completed. i felt good that i had finished what i set out to do. left work, went to get my locs braided and then came home and crashed!!
friday morning…got to work all dressed up (we had a presentation after all) it happened and completed. socks knocked off upper management and we were given the complimentary pat on the back. 5 mins later i was in my jeans and polo. i was on the top of the proverbial mountain. then we got called into our PM’s office. seems that the assistant to the big guy up on the fourth floor, saw me and another co-worker leaving the day before at 1515 instead of 1520…well she had a bitch-fit. our PM said don’t sweat it, cause you guys are always in the office every day by at least 0530/0545 so another 5 mins isn’t going to hurt. so that threw a monkey wrench into the good feelings and we fell off the mountain. but i said fuck it all…went to my desk and jumped into my work. so much so that i didn’t eat breakfast, didn’t read my paper and barely ate lunch before i realized it was time to go.
i hauled ass out the building, and to the metro. headed to see my baby daddy. spent an hour with him, bought my chairs for my outside balcony. then hopped back on the metro to meet some buddies downtown. went to a mystics game, saw two tennessee greats play that i never got to see play while they were in college. then saw the one chick most lesbians have a crush on…skylar diggins..i wasn’t taken back by her…she wasn’t cute to me. then we went out and had some ice cream (sorbet for me) and we all sat around talking and shooting the breeze. i ran into some of my sorors, chatted with a few more people. then we all parted ways. i hung out for another hour with MX and we headed to fuddruckers for some late night snacks. then we parted ways and agreed to meet up the next day.
saturday…went back to see my baby daddy, collected my items and met up with MX again. we hopped in my car and came back to my place. then bolted off to the movies. saw a funny older comedy and then it was off to ikea. my playground. picked up a few items and then it was back to the crib. we put together the furniture and then watched Single Moms Club. I then took her home, where i was antagonized by her pet bird, then we re-arranged her living room and then i came home.
sunday…so far, i’ve lounged out on the balcony for breakfast, then slept off and on for about 3 hours. the place is still clean, but i organized the desk and bathroom this am. now i’m about to get dressed and go get my food for the week and start on that. then i’m going to watch another movie, finish my book and start working this puzzle from friday’s paper.
got another call from the suicide hotline in dc today. was proud to tell the guy i have had an outstanding weekend. now to just finish it and make it true.
