And So It Continues

Yesterday afternoon the secretary says to me, "Grace, why do you look sad lately? I can see it in your face." So that confirms it. I'm no good at pretending things are just dandy, no matter how hard I try. I love that people are concerned about me but right now I'm trying something new--thinking positive. It's been a real effort but I just HAVE to think positive in moments of total misery. Otherwise, I'll slip into depression like I did two years ago.

We got cameras for our building a few days ago at work and I have the view of 12 cameras at once so I totally feel like Big Brother. I can see who's coming or going. Speaking of Big Brother, I dig those surveillance cameras throughout the city that was enforced recently. I feel safer this way.

My dad encountered a little punk who attempted to steal something from his car yesterday afternoon. He didn't call the police because the boy wasn't successful stealing anything and also, he may come back to try to vandalize something for revenge.

Well, summer is on the way and I have absolutely no plans except to work my ass off.

There is one thing I want to do and that is to revive the idea of writing a novel. I had started it but never had enough time to continue it. So this summer, my goal is to get as much writing done as I can.

J and I watched a black and white movie last night called "The Hitch-Hiker". The simplicity of black and white movies is something to appreciate. I like the way the focus is on good acting rather than glitze and glamour.

Oh, and the most surreal thing happened this afternoon. I did something minor for my boss and the project we're working on and he was so happy that he got carried away. He said, "This is fantastic! Grace, I love you sooo much. You're like a gem to me."

awwwwwww!

And finally, one of my project team members brought her children to work today. They were so cute. They'll be coming in with her for the entire summer because she can't leave them at home and her husband is working on the remaining portion of his PhD. She said his supervisor is flying in from the UK for the weekend to see him and his report. Good stuff.

I don't think I'll be talking to J tonight. I have to wake up early tomorrow morning to pick up my brother from the hospital.
