The Weekend Wrap + Monday
This weekend was pretty tough on me. Big Dave passing has been a rocky road; it's had its ups and downs, but over all I think it will just take time for the realization to pass - He's gone. Death happens; normal part of life, but I think death is harder when someone like Dave, who was a mentor and role model to me suddenly disappears from your life, without being able to tell them how you really felt about them and what they did in your life without even knowing it. I think Dave would be proud of how I am handling the situation, and I will continue to keep him and all of our good friends in prayer.
This weekend was pretty relaxing other than the Capsolin show I attended Friday evening. It was great to see the band perform again, and they all looked like they loved the crowd, and the music.
The biggest positive to my weekend was the fact that I finally got to rid myself of the Nissan rental, and get my car back. Just having my GTi again really helps my back pain in traffic. I am trying to remain positive about my pain situation, but sometimes it does get overwhelming and slightly hard to continue. I have began to cut back on going out, to give my back the recovery time it needs. Sure, sometimes it sucks not being able to go do something to take my mind off things, but in the long run, I will benefit from taking the time off.
Moving on to Monday, today I was able to work from home and accomplish a lot of backlogged things: client quotes, emails, sleep, and most importantly, mental health day! This week will be quick, as most of the country will be off Friday July 3rd for the weekend celebrations. Tuesday I must install a new domain controller in Santa Ana, and the rest of the week looks pretty open. I cant wait to see what is in store for work.
As a side note, I met someone pretty cool today and we've been chatting pretty much the duration of the afternoon. Lets just say I haven't spoken this openly to anyone in a long time. If anything develops, who knows! It's been a great time having open and honest conversation, and we'll leave it at that for now =]
