almost...

doesn't count.

it's rather unfortunate. there are many "almosts" this month. i almost didn't have to go to jersey. and then, an email i received today confirmed that i indeed, would have to go--at least for 1 night. which is even worse really.

it's also "almost" my vacation. starting the wednesday i drive back from jersey. and while it really won't be that bad--i am sort of dreading it. traveling for 1 night is worse than anything i swear. all that packing and unpacking--all for 1 night. blah.

on a good note--i think newb is doing well so i shouldn't have to go with him anymore after tomorrow's meeting--to that account. i think it should be ok for him to start going at that account alone. shouldn't be a big deal. i'll ask him at dinner tomorrow after the meeting to see where his head is on it. it's not that i hate doing it or whatever--but i'm sure he'd like to start doing it himself as well instead of having me hanging about!

i'm mass tired. all this traveling and phlegm and drinking. i'm over it! i am living for thursday. well. i do get to meet joy for dinner briefly, that will be nice. i don't think i've seen her since our dinner the week of thanksgiving.

also, i purchased j.k. rowling's "the tales of beedle the bard" while i was in burlington, vermont. it's much more elementary in its read than all her previous books--but there's a tale in it that is just grisly. even for me--the adult that i am. while i wasn't shocked--there was some nose-wrinkling action.
