Still nothing from the Company. Sigh.
I did get an email from the VFW Aux that there is an event this afternoon to help get ready for next weekend. They were putting together packages for kids returning to school, and there is still quite a bit that needs to be bundled together. I figured I would do my part and go help with that... then stick around, drink beer, and do karaoke this evening probably.
Yeah. That's all I got.

Another day went by, and no contact from the Company. Frustrating having this much time off between projects. I do enjoy when having a nice 2-3 day break between is perfect, but get us back to work! Or is it the workload isn't there? I have no idea....Hopefully Thursday will bring along new information.
I spent most of Wednesday sitting at the computer doing whatever. Watched some Netflix. Social Media. YouTube. Warcraft. "Surfed" the web just following whatever sounded good. Doodad was over for the afternoon after her dental appointment, and then into the evening. Youngest had a parent band meeting, so afterwards we decided to do Chili's for dinner. The Daughter and SIL came by shortly after we made it home, to pick her up and head back to Tucson. Gave the two of them time to see a movie, have dinner, and get some frozen yogurt.
I did go to bed around pm. I was feeling tired, so decided to call it a night. For an hour I tossed and turned, with no sleep in sight so got back up. Ended up watching video clips of movies I have already seen, but it has that good action scene you have to watch again. I have spent a good part flipping back and forth to see if Netflix has that movie on instant play or not..... no luck for any I looked up. Sigh. It is now pushing 2:00am, and I feel no different than three hours ago. But I am going to go lay down again and try to sdleep once more.
PeacE
The Daughter and family will be up today for dental appointments. We will be watching Doodad whilst her parents go on a "date" for dinner this evening. Then they head back to Tucson. It may be a short visit, but always appreciated.
Still in a holding pattern with work. I emailed them Monday, to get the reply "Project is on hold. Will email more information soon" well, paraphrased. I still haven't gotten any new info.
That leaves me with nothing new happening.
PeacE
Sigh. What shall we write about today?
Alarms went off this morning, and as they did, I would check my phone for an email from the Company, to see if they had assigned me to a project yet. Each time there was no email, so I would shut the alarm off, and doze until the next one. After the third one I decided I should get up and try to accomplish something today.
I went through all my emails. Doesn't sound like much, but considering I have three email accounts, sometimes it can be daunting. I had used AOL for so long, it is the worst with spam/junk emails that the filters don't catch. All in all, nothing important there. Gmail was next, and very little. Still nothing important. Then Outlook, where I am slowly changing all my correspondences from websites, etc. to as I use it most now. Outlook seems to grab more of the junk/spam and take it out of my way than other mail services. Nothing from work, but a couple other reminders I needed for this week (school registration info, band info - both for the Youngest).
I web-travelled through my ebook sites, my review sites. Spent some time on Amazon writing product reviews that I never got around to before - about 20 this morning. There are still many, from over the few past years, and I may or may not ever get around to completing. I scrolled through social media, but so far there was nothing of concern there, either. Read RM's blog. And that lead me here. Why not waste some more time....
The Wife came in and brought veggies she had picked up from Market on the Move, to load into the fridge we moved into the office. Then she and I sat and briefly discussed what we had going on this week: school registration, band camp each day, Doodad being here Wed night, and the meeting for the band that night. Yeah. So busy. I say it that way now, but there will be a time that I wish we were having a week like this versus the ones we do have on occasion.
No plans today.
PeacE
I went out for a bit last night, but was home fairly early. The usual guys I hang out with evidently weren't hanging out, so I read for about 3 hours or so, and enjoyed a couple (few) beers. I noticed I am now 32 books ahead of my schedule for the year.
RM loved the surprise I brought to our lunch yesterday. I hadn't mentioned it here, as I was afraid she may see it before we met up - I brought Doodad along with me. RM doesn't get to see her Great-Grandchild that often due to the family's obligations/plans so I freed up the Daughter to have some non-child time with the Wife, and took Doodad to lunch with me.RM was sure surprised, and I loved it.
Thinking about the twenty-million things that need to get done around the house, and where to start. Can't do that, until this is done... that's buried behind this other stuff, that can't be moved until we move that over there. It's frustrating at times. So at 11am I sit here and type this out. I already wasted some time on social media, too. I haven't decided if I am going to play some Warcraft, or grab my list of books/authors to check around to see if any new books are out, etc. Either one will probably last most of the afternoon.
At some point today, or tomorrow morning, I need to compose an email for Work. I don't know what is going on over there. I was told Wed I was 'rolling into a new project' Thursday - meeting at am. That was delayed for two hours, and then we were told we would get an email "if" we were rolled into the project. I still haven't heard anything. So I will email and let them know I finished that project last week, and I am available for anything new that comes along. Sigh. Hopefully it won't be too long of a waiting period.

Whew! It truly rained all day long yesterday! One of those good ones, where it is just a steady rain and not the deluge that creates floods. AZ could sure use rains like this more often.
Date night was good. We tried a BBQ place called Pork on the Fork. It is is a small place in a business complex, and if we had not specifically been watching for it by the address, we would have never found the place. Oh it was good! Wife had a brisket bowl, with mac n' cheese and green beans. I opted for a sandwich: the one pound 'Midwest Monster' which was brisket, with pulled pork (1 lb worth) topped with jalapenos and a creamy white queso (cheese) to top it off. Had to eat it with a knife and fork. Prices were very compatible for the type of food and the servings were good sized. We can order up to 5 pounds of pulled pork at any time to take home as well!!
Friday was a usual day. No word from the Company about my next project. Went up to the VFW for karaoke and to hang out with my brother. His wife and he had brought up the two of their youngest, so I actually spent some time with the nephew and niece, too. This morning I am getting ready to head out to an early lunch with RM at Coco's - I didn't know we had anymore of them in town, but evidently there is one out near her place. I got about 20 minutes before I head out for that.
Got to see the Daughter and Doodad yesterday. She had been in town helping a friend and came by to visit. Feels like forever since I had seen them, though it had only been a few weeks. They'll be back up Wednesday for the day of dental appointments (they like the dentist up here). Then I don't know when we will see them again. Probably in a month when I decide to do a day trip or something.
Alright, well I am out of here for now.

Welcome to Thursday! Glad to have survived the tedium of the first three days this week, now you come up to the Big One to get through before the Friday!
I received an email yesterday, around noon, asking if I was "available" to start a new project when this one completed (which was to be this week). I of course replied yes. Then shortly after, we were informed our project was completing at the end of day Wednesday. I believe I was the last to log off last night, and there was at least an hour or more of work that needed to be completed yet. I am guessing they have asked a couple people to return this morning to finish (I wasn't one). Next project is starting today, with a meeting at 9am.The thing with starting at 9am, it makes it harder for me to get that 8-hour work day done. Sure I could work until 5, but I hate working those later hours. I would rather start at 7 and be off by 3, or work even earlier hours. Today especially.
Not having the knowledge of when a project was ending/starting, the Wife and I had set up a 'Date Night' for tonight. It has been a 'little while' since we have had one, and with the Youngest attending band camp until 8pm each day, it gives us a perfect time to do it. The Wife was the one choosing, since she has the pickier taste (residual from the Covid she had - still has problems with certain foods/smells) and I mentioned I would down for some good barbecue. Our favorite place had closed down last year (Thanks Covid) and the places we knew about otherwise, we had tried before and were just not impressed with the taste or presentation, or prices of their selections. Some of them are quite overrated if you ask me. Anyways, Wife found a place not terribly far from us called Pork on a Fork. Sounds cute. The website showed decent prices/servings/food pics so we decided to check them out tonight. Only they close at 6pm. So if I work my 8-hour day, that would leave an hour to get there, order, eat, then leave. If I was alone, I could probably do that, but sitting down to dinner with the Wife, it is a longer process. So I will be ending my workday at 4 today, and maybe make up the hour tomorrow. If not, then oh well. They cannot force me to work longer hours if they start later in the day like they are.
But then last night, as I lay in bed, working on going to sleep at a decent hour, my phone alert goes off that I have email. With starting a new project, I quickly glanced at it to make sure times had not changed, etc. It was an email from the School Band director. I set it back down, figuring I would read it this morning, which I did. Seems Camp is cancelled today. There is a Parent meeting to go over some details this evening, but no time was given. So now my Dinner Date is going to be rushed because we have a meeting at 6, which tis the time the restaurant closes, which we will be just finishing up our meal probably.
Sigh. And we thought tonight would be good because no Game 7 of the NBA Finals (Wife is a Suns fan). Well, the Band email had several mistakes/omittances in it. Like, it was dated saying Thursday August 22nd (I presume they meant today) and there was no time given for this meeting.
Well, crap. I just re-read that Band email. I was wrong. There is a time, for August 28th. No Camp August 23rd, but resumes Friday August 24th. I am guessing he truly meant July for the month, as no date in August matches the date/day. And Camp is only through next week. Ok, so date night is not compromised. Life is feeling better already. The Youngest can fix leftovers, or have a Ramen whilst we dine on (hopefully) wonderfully barbecued pork. With slaw. Haven't decided if I want it on a sandwich or not. I'm hungry and it is only 7am....sigh.

... but I made myself all well again! The past couple days with the sweating at night, the fever that isn't a fever, and the unquenchable thirst, had all about done me in. I was feeling tired from sleepless nights, and bloated from all the water I was drinking. I even wasn't going to the restroom for the amount of water I was drinking! I looked up WebMD, and tried to figure out by the thirstiness, what may be the problem. I didn't like any of their answers, which I couldn't verify pretty much without going to a doctor.
Then I went to the bathroom, and had a bowel movement. I mean, a serious one. It was a rough patch, as it appeared I was a bit constipated (probably from not drinking enough days before...) but once I got that 'worked out', everything started feeling better. I spent the next couple hours farting what felt like every 10 minutes. The bloated feeling was gone. Unquenchable thirst went away. I really think it was my body trying to just fill itself up and force that crap out!! Either way, it worked! Slept good last night, and have just been doing my normal water levels.
I know, you wanted to hear that story so much!
Work yesterday was a bother. I was up and ready at 6:30am, but they had not uploaded new data into our project until 8:30, which was empty again by 9:30, and then filled at 10:00. Si I did not get my full 8 hours. I quit after 6.5 as I had been sitting and waiting for work for over 9 hours. Today I noticed that they had pooled up data that should last us about 2-3 days, which is when about the project is to end anyways. This stage of the project is one of the ones I don't like. The work is mundane, and time just drags. But it has to be done....
PeacE
Went to bed last night, feeling better than I had most of the day, and aside from that ongoing thirstiness, thought I felt like things were on the mend. I was wrong. Around midnight, I woke as the Wife was coming to bed, and realized I was 'hot" again. Skin felt cool and clammy. Cold sweat. excessive thirst. Even though I got up and relieved myself of quite a bit of water, I still felt the unnatural urge to drink much more. I allowed a couple small cups, and laid back down. For the next few hours it was a repeat. Finally around 3:30am I fell into sleep that lasted until the alarm at 6. Though I still a, thirsty, I didn't wake feeling as I did yesterday.
Not sure if I am working today. My fears about content being available turned true, and logging in this morning shows that there is no new data. However, I see that it was mentioned last Friday, that supposedly more would be available today. So now it is the waiting game to see if/when it appears. If not soon, I will lose some time as I cannot charge when I am not working. Sigh. You would think they would be more on top of this, not only to finish the project quicker, but to keep employees from having down time. It's not always good when your employees show up for work before management, but there is no work to be done.
Well, on that note, I am going to head out and catch up on some other stuff this morning whilst I wait for work to become available.

The Celebration of Life I went to yesterday turned out to be okay. My Friend, J, was the one sort of setting up the event. He arranged the site (one of the puns we attend, which the deceased's wife thought would be perfect) plus creating the picture slide-show, etc. There were quite a bit more people that showed up than I would have thought - I know several were there just for support of my friend, like I was. I did meet a couple of people I had only heard of by name, so that was nice. About the time the NBA finals started, I was ready to head home, so I did.
I wanted pizza, but the Wife and Youngest had already had it for lunch. I guess Middle Son brought it over (I had left for the CoL). I was set on wanting pizza, so I picked one up at our usual place, and went to Taco Bell for what they wanted. Went home, ate, and went to bed at a decent hour. I never did check the time, but somewhere in those early hours (I'm thinking 12-1) I awoke not feeling well. Not the stomach, I ate something bad type... I felt like I was burning up, from the inside. Skin felt cool with clammy sweat. I was thirsty like guy in the desert for days with no water. I went to the bathroom and drank a couple small cups of water, and splashed my head, chest and arms with water to try to cool down (though the skin wasn't hot and feverish. This went on all morning. Drop off to sleep, to suddenly wake feeling like this, repeat.
Around 7:30 this morning I decided I had had enough and got up. Drank to 28 oz bottles of water, and was craving more still. I went and took a hot shower, thinking maybe it would "cool" me off, and it did for a little bit. RM texted me about bringing over some potato salad and deviled eggs she had made, and I told her I wasn't feeling well. Sent the Youngest to get the door since I didn't know if I was viral with anything. As the day wore on, I felt slowly better, though, I have drank more water than I feel I ever have in one day. I feel bloated, but still crave more drink. Sigh. And surprisingly, I haven't been running to pee after all this water. I don't know what is going on. Maybe tomorrow I will need to have that huge release....
Tomorrow it is back to work. Friday I noticed as I ended my day, that the work load we had was dwindling down fast on the project. When I started early last week, I knew it was only going to be a short one, so am not sure if there will be actual work for me tomorrow or not. May end up just waiting for the next project.
I think I am going to catch up on some media, then head to bed early tonight.
PeacE
Went to bed at a decent hour last night, and it finds me awake an hour before my alarms start going off. I tried going back to sleep, but again, it eludes me, so I figured I would start the work day. I get all logged into the work-system, and the "new" work they said would be there, isn't. I inquired about it, as I wanted to be sure I was not the only one, and then they make a large announcement to give them some time to get the information 'put up' so we can work on it. No problemo! Free work time I'm getting paid for? I ain't complaining!
...and they just came up, so I suppose I need to cut this short. So much for paid free time.
Thinking about heading up to the VFW tonight. I finally got my regular card showing my Lifetime membership Tuesday evening, right after the meeting.
PeacE
Today is just one of those days where I just wanna lay in bed and do absolutely nothing. I don't know if it is because the storm that came through in the early hours today, or what. I have been "at work" the past three hours, and am just not feeling the regular "let's get it done" that I usually do. I'm dragging. In fact, I am jumping back and forth in writing this and working.
Been pretty mellow since I got back from ND. The Wife took off and headed to Tucson for a get-away yesterday, leaving me and the Youngest at home. I finally was able to get my temporary card for the VFW Aux. printed, and there was a meeting last night, so I went. Besides, beer is cheaper at the canteen there then the regular bar. It was ... different than I expected. Though, I do feel in the next few months I will be getting more involved with this group. I like some of the things they are doing. Even though I have a Lifetime membership, I am not required to do anything, or even attend meetings. But I think I will.
Afterwards, I met up with my buddy and we talked a bit. While we were in ND, a micro-burst had hit his house. Tore the roof completely off the two-car carport he has, and threw it diagonally across his yard and into a neighbor diagonally behind his house. Also ripped two a/c units from the roof, though not off it. Collapsed a brick pillar at the carport, that somehow managed to not hit his car. He was hoping the rain we got wouldn't hit, as he still has one a/c not replaced, and there is a tarp covering the hole in the roof. I'll be seeing him and another bud tonight to watch the NBA game, and will find out.
Looks like Saturday I will be attending a Celebration of Life for a friend of a friend. This guy, Hollis, I had spoken with a few times on the phone, but we had not had the chance to meet in person, passed away about three weeks ago. his funeral was in Texas, but his wife wanted to do a CoL here as well. Last night, I had heard she had been in Vegas for three days, and while gone, the house was burgled. Ain't that shit on top of losing her husband?! Guess jewelry and electronics were taken, though I am not sure of how much. Some of the jewelry was sentimental valued versus just being expensive. I feel bad about that, but there isn't anything I can do.
Guess that's all I got to ramble about for now.

Whew! I am beat! Arrived back in Phoenix a little after 11pm last night, and back up at 6 for work this morning. While I was away, the Company contacted me and we have a new project starting today. Originally it was to start tomorrow, which would have been nicer, but they decided on today. So after little sleep, from a trip where sleeping was very low on the to-do list, I am up and ready to go.
The trip for the ND Country Fest was fun. I got to meet some really nice people. I enjoyed some really good music. I drank quite a bit of beer and whiskey, though I never went overboard - well for me anyways. I don't think I will ever do a trip like this again though. I am just not in the shape to do it. I did take the cane and use it, but with all the walking, the mud from the rain that came, etc. I am just not physical enough. Don't tell me to 'Well get fit!" because that just pisses me off. I did at least see some good singers: John Michael Montgomery, Brantley Gilbert; and though I didn't meet them personally, I did get some pictures and a couple videos to show the Wife.
Came home to some changes around the house. Back in the Office room, the Wife had removed some "home-made-shelving" that had been in one corner, and rearranged a couple other things. Which meant my desk was piled up with things of mine she didn't know where to put since she took out the shelving. I had to spend time this morning dealing with that, so I got stuff kinda stacked around the floor, around the work chair. I need to figure where to put it now, and trying to get started with work, I don't have time for it right this instant.
Guess I should run along and get some other stuff caught up.
PeacE
I am leaving in like.... four hours. Yeah, I should have been home preparing for my departure, sharing time with the family here at home, but I said....no. I'm only gone for five days, unless none of the planes fly properly. Whatever.
So for the next few days I will be enjoying weather in North Dakota, and some good country music. I'm 'told' that I will meet many 'down-home' people that I will miss leaving the state. I thought that when I left Indiana. Good to know other states have good people that treat visitors just as well.
RM, pray for me. I know there will be rivers of liquor flowing, that will be partaken of, and safe rides back to beds to awake and start a new day. Maybe some new epiphany will happen - though I doubt it. The people I am traveling with, are familiar enough with those we will meet/hang=out with (none I know) so all a new experience for me.
I got a couple of my boys making sure The Wife is going to be okay whilst I am gone, though, it may be a vacation for her as well. I honestly admit, I don't like being apart from her, but sometimes it happens.
Here's to ND! And Country Fest! An experience I get to have!

Today is Independence Day, July 4th, 2021, and at 7:00am, I wonder how much of the day am I going to enjoy? Yesterday, rain descended upon the Valley (a rare occurrence) and from the time I noticed it (afternoon-ish, as I hadn't been outside, and slept in that morning) it continued on into the later evening hours. A nice half-day rain that we could always use in the desert, but one that will leave today feeling the extra mugginess of humidity. Which may end up putting a damper on some of the outdoorsy stuff going on today, including the later afternoon swim/eat at a friend's house, followed by fireworks after dark. Fat people like me, just don't care for that muggy feeling after the rains, and makes us sweat a lot.
The keyboard that came with the desktop PC I Purchased ... I don't remember how long ago, has finally met its end days. I thought it had, that is. The 'painted' letters on several of the keys, have worn off completely. I am sure if I plucked off a key or two, it would show inches of accumulated dust, dead skin, food debris, etc, that has fallen under the keys over the years. I had been putting off getting a new keyboard as I have adapted to the spacing and layout of this one. Granted, aside from the letters missing off the keys, the support legs broken off the back, the rubber 'feet' that keep it from sliding on the desktop non-existent, I had no desire to keyboard shop, and the possibility of not finding something I liked. But the mouse started acting wonky, as well. Would not left-click at times, scroll wheel not working right, LED reading and putting the mouse all over the screen. Both were USB plug-ins, and I finally decided new ones needed to happen to replace some of the aged/worn out devices.
About a week ago, I found a decent deal through Amazon for a wireless mouse/keyboard combo at a decent price. They keyboard was different in style than what I have, but not terribly so, and the mouse was a tad more basic than the gaming mouse I had been using. So I bought it, with an expected arrival date of 7/7 - the day I leave for North Dakota. Sigh. Surprise!! It came on Saturday, so I was able unhook the existing keyboard/mouse (a chore, since I had to get to the back of the Desktop - a feat not done in a long time) and opened up the box. As I pick up the keyboard, the space bar falls onto the desk. Huh? This is starting to not look good.....
Yup, seems the space bar key had somehow become unattached from the rest of the keyboard, but made it inside the package. I unpacked the rest of the box, and no extra pieces of plastic, or springs, or anything that appeared to be broken pieces, were in the box. I checked the shipping box - it was in good shape, as was the product factory box, sealed with tape like from the factory. I easily re-aligned the space bar key, and pushed it into place. It 'sat' a little crooked, leaning down more on the left, but pushing on it, seemed to work fine. Until, you start typing, theneverything startedtolooklikethis. Discovery was made that the space bar only typed spaces, when you pushed at the exact center of the bar, with harder than usual typing pressure. I sighed. I didn't want to mess with reporting faulty product, or having to return it - do I have to pay for that as well? I've never had to before...
I spent the rest of the day trying to make it work. I played games, I surfed the 'Net, I practice typing stuff in an empty word document. Yeah, this was just not going to do. So this morning, since I am awake at 6am (sigh, alarm was set for 8) I made a quick run to QT for some Coke and a couple jalapeno sausage dogs, and sat down to contact Amazon. Well, I'll be surprised... it was easy to return the item. And free. I just need to re-pack it, tape the box up, and drop it off at the UPS store, which is just up the road a mile. I also requested they send me another one, which is due to arrive the day I return from North Dakota. In the meantime, the old keyboard/mouse are hooked back up, and seem to be working just fine. I hate hanging on to something I don't need, but I may end up keeping the old ones later on as back-ups, you know, just in case.
Well, I am supposed to be making deviled eggs for the party later today. I kind of blew it off yesterday, though we did get the eggs boiled at least. Which means this morning/early afternoon I need to get off my butt and get the shells off, and make the yolk stuff. I boiled up two dozen eggs, so it'll be close to 48 eggs - minus one or three for taste-testing - and I am going to try something a little different with about a third of them. Decided to spice them up a bit, and will place like a sliced jalapeno in each egg's yolk area, then finely dice up jalapenos and add to the yolk mixture, which is then placed on the slice, then maybe add another slice on top. I only picked up a small can of jalapenos, so may end up with the one slice and the rest being added to the mix. Figured it sounded good, and worth a try. I may wait another hour or so before I start on that mess.....
So, that's how my 4th is going so far. May yours be better, and remember why we celebrate today.

We all have a "dream job" of some sort. That one type of employment that pays so well, the work so easy/love to do, the hours and travel necessary are perfect. I know I have several in which I try not to day dream about, because I hate disappointing myself. For many of us, these things never come about, and for some, they work hard to get those jobs, or very near to them.... and yes, it makes us envy them a little.
I was up late last night. The Wife and Middle Son had traveled on the local Light-Rail to the Mercury WNBA game last night, so I needed to pick them up afterwards. That was about 9:40pm and we stopped to bring home shakes for all from Sonic. I messed around a bit on the computer playing Warcraft, then went to bed about 11:30pm and COULD NOT FALL ASLEEP. Around 2am I was ready to just get up and go for as long as I could, but somehow drifted off. Around 5:30am I was awakened quickly - not quite startled to full attentiveness like hearing someone breaking into the house, but close to it. I realized I had a dream - one I was actually remembering.
I plopped my head back down onto my pillows to try to drop back into this dream, as it was like watching a movie, and it was good! I kinda dozed for maybe 10-15 minutes, and awoke again, realizing, I had to write this down. And should I run up to QuikTrip for some soda first, maybe get an ultimate burrito, as well? No, no, no... need to get this idea down. This could be a book. So as I spent the 500 million years getting up out of bed and setting off the snaps, crackles, and pops of the body, then that quick old man shuffle to the bathroom, I am in front of the computer screen, text doc open, making notes.
Oh, I am out of practice. Trying to note all this before it slips from my mind... what is the basic story? who are the characters (protagonist/antagonist)? Where? What When? How???? Things I will need to find a way to research (meaning hours of reading time on the internet I am sure). Is this plot outline even sound like anything that is realistic? Names? Descriptions of places, items used, etc. What is the connection of it all? how does it end - I never saw that in my dream. What would be a good climatic finish, with maybe an opening for additional story(s) - for the publisher of course. Because, this would be written so well, they'll be stabbing each others backs to get it, right?
Dream job - I have a couple I would like. Beer Taster. Book Reviewer (I'm trying this one, but my review writing needs work yet). Video Game Tester (for PC) - I have to specify for PC, because them handsets for XBox/Playstation - they have WAY too many buttons/levers for me to understand.
Either way, I'm about a page, and them some, of notes on this dream/story idea. Every time I sort of re-read through the notes, I get a heartbeat speed-up, like this could be doable. I gotta get up to the QT for some soda - maybe two - and start looking up some of this info and see if the idea is gonna work.
Dream job - being a published, popular writer. I know it just doesn't usually happen with ONE book. But if I wrote that one.... RM is always mentioning I should do it - write a book. Heck, she tells herself that as well. Who knows, maybe one day it will happen.
