Day 197: Don't think too much

The mantra of the day is 'don't think too much' because if I do I'm going to be overwhelmed beyond belief.

I know I'm jumping ahead but tomorrow is going to be a really busy day. I have to do my normal job missing 2 of the 6 people in my department and then jump in and help with election coverage which will extend my day by about 6 hours and then come back in the next morning to the same department missing 2 people.

Sounds like great fun, and I think I'm going to be keeping Starbucks in businesses for sure. But it will all work out and the show will go on regardless of my lack of sleep, because that's how we tv people 'roll'.

The bright spot in the day was lunch with the wine guy. We had to squeeze in a quick lunch because he is leaving for Vegas tomorrow and otherwise we wouldn't see each other until the weekend.

We went to our 'usual' spot... which is the restaurant we went to the other day when he came in for a tour. Since we've been there twice I guess that makes it our usual spot.

Then on the way back he said 'want to pull into the parking lot and make out?' I had to laugh, but it did seem like a fun idea, despite my anxiety about combining my work and personal lives.

I told him to pull in behind my hosts giant SUV which would block the windows, which I'm pretty sure no one was looking out of anyway, not to mention I'm sure they couldn't see anything if they were looking... but better safe than sorry in my book.

We kissed a little but it was hardly a make out session, but still nice.... and as he mentioned a little like high school lunch break.

At that moment I also realized it was good we both ate onions at lunch... at least that seemed to level the playing field a little.

It's funny how you never really think of those things at the time... or at least I don't... but maybe I should?

Ahhh well after lunch it was back to work... in my attempt to get through the day knowing the hell that lied ahead of me.

Unfortunately thinking about what I was going to have to do tomorrow slowed down my progress for the day, as if procrastinating would prevent tomorrow from happening.

Obviously I know that's not the case, so I just need to suck it up and move on which means finishing up the half bottle of wine left over from last night and going into work late in hopes of maintaining my sanity for the next 24 hours.
