You know how some days just really suck? This was not one of those days.
I started my day off by getting paid. Always a good sign. Next, I landed in NYC. I've never been there before so the fact that I arrived an hour early and was able to explore Times Square was fantastic. The sights, sounds, people, culture were all amazing. I expected myself to be extremely overwhelmed and immediately lost, but it was a comfortable, easy adventure. Next, I had delicious lunch with an artist who was absolutely delightful. It was the first time in a looooong time that I spoke with the same person for two hours without wanting to break my own fingers just to escape (my attention span isn't my strong suite). At the end, we hugged, she politely told me she was not interested in making a gift to the university at this time, and invited me back to attend some shows and site see. Going back to the airport, I was early and able to stop by a bar in Jersey for a quick libation. The bartender mistook me for a friend and hooked me up with half price drinks. After the not-so-long trek home, I walked in to a clean house (courtesy of my boyfriend). Next, I found my daughter's preschool book. Highlights: Q: What is love? A; My mawmaw and nana. Q: What are you thankful to God for? A: Me and my dad! TEAR!!! After my shower, I checked my email, where I found a great note from the artist I met earlier today who had changed her mind and is now interesting in investing in some programs at her alma mater. The day ended with a mini-feast from Rhapsody and Michael Scott's final Office episode. Thank God for days like today.
