A week of reality
Well, one week after the trip, and reality has definitely reared its ugly head. Turns out somehow we missed the window, and didn't bring home the souvenir we wanted. That didn't leave Colleen in the best of moods. I was very surprised, however, to hear her admit that she had seen some things that wouldn't have been possible had she been pregnant, or had delivered our baby in October.
Bills by the truckload have started to pour in. UGH! Oh well, I knew at some point they'd come back. At least this time around I did a pretty decent job of paying as we went. We really didn't take on as much debt as we could have for the trip, though it does mean we'll be eating macaroni and cheese for a while. LOL
I did collect $100 from one of my co-workers. Seems he wasn't able to stay quit from smoking, and he smoked while I was in Australia. That meant he owed me the cash based on our bet. I am glad I managed to stay quit. I don't want to go back to smoking.
Today was a very good day for me. I did household chores. Shopping, laundry, and cleaning. I wanted to try to get all of it done before Colleen came home so that she wouldn't have to do anything. She had to work all weekend, and that was hard for her. She does seem excited about the merger at work, however, and the potential that Macy's and Federated Stores can bring to her job.
As for me, I am beginning to question if I stayed with this team too long. I felt at the end of last week that my message was getting lost because I have alienated too many people and they only see the messenger, and don't hear the message. I don't know, but if something doesn't change soon, I may bring in my bag of guns and open fire (that's a joke of course, I don't own a single gun, much less a bag.)
More poker this week. Back to the routine. Maybe I can at least show again. That would be cool. Finishing in the money in your own home is somewhat rewarding. Having to sit and be a gracious host while everyone else competes for the cash SUCKS!!!!!! :-)
Cheers!
