1 day later

 I surprisingly made it a day without thinking about the boy too much. I didn't even anxiously check messages last night. Yay, me! It probably helped that I was entrenched in work all day. Got some fajitas and fell asleep for a few hours. 

I wanted to piddle around on the computer but my brain was too tired. 

Had trouble falling asleep later, but oh well. 

It's weird being back because I've quickly forgotten many of my routines. But I think with the extended daylight, I'm supposed to go to bed at 11p and maybe start wind-down or moving downstairs around 8 or 9p. Sometime after sunset when it's too dark to stay up here sounds about right.

I haven't felt much like going downstairs though. So I'll prob stay up here the next 2 days.

This Saturday, I have 3 events to choose from - Volunteering, Nature Walk, or Bowling. They all occur in or around the same time though. I think I'd rather do 2 things than 1, so I'll probably do the Nature Walk and Bowling vs Volunteering.

I don't know though, it might be too hot for the Nature Walk. Actually, it will be too hot. So who knows.

I think my July fantasy of spending some time in DC has died. It's just so funny how strongly you can feel something one day and not give 2 hoots the next day. Oh, Feelings, why are you so fickle. I really just prefer a more moderate range. Something reasonable. Working on it, I guess. 

Today, I feel like if I never hear from Boy again, I literally will be okay. I'm not even feeling strongly about deactivating anything. But gosh, Sunday, I just had to do something. How do I manage that! 

Yeah these emotional swings are not cute. I don't want that for my future life. 

Anyway, so in thinking about the trip to work to be onsite to meet great-grand-boss, I have a couple thoughts. First, I checked in with one of my coworkers just to get a feel for what everyone is doing. She's just planning to do a half day. Sweet! That's what I'm going to do too. Well since I'm going to take a train, I'll probably have to do a full day. But at least I can get away with just 1 day, I hope.

So since they're covering hotel and transportation, I think I'm just going to go up north for the 1 weekend, versus 3. Yay, I already feel better about that.

If my other co-workers is going to be in town... wait, I just peeped her calendar, and it looks like she'll be away.

Well that takes the fun out of it. 

I do kind of still want to go to the company picnic, so we shall see. 

So perhaps travel on Wed, but if I go to the picnic, I'll have to travel back on Sunday which I don't love because that's a weekend day pretty much dedicated to work. Boo. 

But I like this because this cuts down on time with my last 3 committee members. That's a win because historically, they have caused spikes in my emotional flow. And we don't want that. 

What else, did I tell you I saved $60 in Uber. I decided to take a "free" train to the airport. I'm so glad I did. I left an hour earlier than I would have had I taken Uber but it was okay. It all worked out and I got home 2 hours early. Only to come to find the Uber back to my house was twice the cost! So I think pre-scheduling the Uber does lock in the price it is at the time not the future price, which is interesting. 

I also need to lock my cards and activate my new cards for MERJ 2.0. I have not had much luck yet opening an online account for MERJ 2.0. I'm really kind of over submitting all my information online, so that might take a backseat for now. 

That's all the money stuff for now, gotta get some work done!
