Mental Health Day

Today was a joyous day. I spent so long talking on the phone last night to DA that I was all wired up, also from sushi/sake w/L. that I didn't get to bed 'til around 2:30am. It was then that I realized I would be in no shape to go to Job #1 today and so I called in today to take the day off. I have SIX and a HALF weeks' paid SICK LEAVE and I deserve to be able to tap into that when necessary. Unfortunately I only slept in 'til 8am b/c Phillip had sent me an email saying he would be interviewing for a programmer job at my work and could we get together when he was done interviewing? Damn him! I sent him an email saying I had called in, and I wish I'd had advance notice of his interview; however to call me when he got done and if all went well he should come over for a congratulatory drink.

While waiting I tidied up around the house b/c Stefano had called me last night when he got home from taking his 'rents out to say that he'd told them he'd met a lot of my family this past weekend and guess what the 1st thing out of his mom's mouth was? I guessed correctly that she wanted to know when she was going to get to meet me! So he told me that their synagogue would be celebrating/announcing their 53rd wedding anniversary this Fri. night and if I was ready to meet them then maybe I could come and then we'd all go out to dinner afterwards. I said OF COURSE I was ready, and that that would be so delightful! So Stefano will pick me up at my house and we'll go do that tomorrow night, then we'll spend the night at my place. I can't wait to meet his 'rents! That shit never makes me nervous; parents always love me! Can you blame them!

So finally the big Phil called me and he came over and we proceeded to drain a whole bottle of Reisling from Australia. All I'd had to eat was 3 chocolate chip cookies that L. had made me and gave me last night at our sushi dinner. Then we decided to go grub on Mexican at a restaurant near my house, which was very enjoyable, esp. w/the frozen margaritas. Phillipo feels pretty good about getting an offer from my job and I really hope he does! That would be soooooo fun!!!

Now I'm at Job #2 killing 2 hrs so I'm free tomorrow eve. for the big meet Stefano's parents night! Tonight is rehearsal and after that I really, really need to try and get home and get some rest. I'm still buzzing from the wine/margarita afternoon so things are really mellow and happy right now!
