Last Day @ Work!!

Today was my last day at work.  I'm feeling somewhat disappointed.  I thought I would be celebrating and walking around with a huge smile.  However, that was not to be.  Of course I'm happy.  But...first off, I couldn't go into the office because I can not get out of my garage due to the snow.  So...the manager I was working for suggested he would drive out to my place and I could meet him somewhere nearby.  Which is cool...so I met him at the Starbucks around the corner.  It was all kinda weird for a last day at work.  I gave him the company equipment (laptop, cell phone, company credit card, and badge), we hugged, we wished each other the best, he left, and I continued to wait for  my double espresso, and 2 minutes later I was walking back home.  

Now...the scenario that I had in mind was; we would meet in his office, I'd give him the equipment, we'd say our well wishes, he'd escort me to the lobby, take my badge, and I'd leave the building.  Upon getting in my car...I would be so happy that I call my mom and yell, "I'm Free", and then I'd drive to meet my GF for a late lunch and celebratory drinks.  As it stands now...I'm stuck in the house.  I'm trying to get chains for my car and so far I've been unsuccessful.  I have the chains, but I don't have the rubber adjusters (which were probably packed, and are now on their way to Saudi).  I've called every auto parts and tire dealership within a 1 mile radius (so I could walk) and not of them had any.  I have some friends out shopping now, and they're keeping an eye out for me.  I hope they find some.  I feel like precious daylight free time is being wasted with me sitting up in this house.   It's not often I have free time in the afternoon on a Friday.  Gawd!!  Well...I guess that all is about to change. I'm going to have a lot of free time.  Maybe I will slow down my pace a bit...I'm so used to running, running, running, and being on the go.  I'm curious how I will feel about that.  'm addicted to the running around and the stress of it all.   

9 Days To Go!!

Well Mrs Terri your not alone with the claustrphobia thing in the house. Just trying have to rock head boys with you and a husband. I'm going to go stir crazy. The only outing I had was to the grocery store. Wow! I never thought grocery shopping could be so fun. Well good luck on the trip and stay intouch. I can't IM you No-Mo at work.

It looks like I may be getting out of the house. I called around, not one place had chains, but the last place I called told me I could use bungee cords to adjust the chains I already had. So...I walked up to True Value, got a 18 piece variety size pack of bungee cords. Girl...I crawled under that car and got the sh*t hooked up!! WhooHoo!! I'm getting the hell out of the house while the sun is still shining, and before the next snow drops.

Hey Girl...I'm so going to miss chatting with you. If you're on Yahoo Messenger, I will add you so we can chat via Messenger on occasion.

BTW: I'm expecting us to do lunch when I get back here in March.

Take Care, Cheers!, Merry Christmas, & Happy New Year!!
