Super Dad

Phoenix was awesome and Spring Training was so much fun!! Except for the motion sickness on the plane-ride home, I had a wonderful, relaxing, much-needed girl time! I feel healthy - like I had a lot of fresh air, and alot of sun (but not sun-damage - SPF 45!!) but I did miss my SO. I couldn't wait to hug him big and tell him the tales of Firecracker and Six. To tell him that I don't have my old Chicago habits of drinking to oblivion...and I returned to town invigorated to stay healthy and in shape. I felt ready to tackle the thesis weeks ahead! And then it was Tuesday.

I was supposed to travel to Mexico on Saturday. That day was moved up - and hence, so were my plans for the week. Now I am frantic to get everything done - and pissed I am rushed! Finish IMS site, migrate data, create 100 images for a report, work all day, do laundry, pack for the week-long camping trip. All this by Thursday night. It is already Wednesday night.

Sheesh. The opportunity to go is one I can't pass up - so I just need to suck it up. Meanwhile, Bear (formerly known as GG) and I will only be able to see each other once before I take off and he goes to SLC for a week of skiing with his family. I'm finding the living together thing more appealing every day.

My dad was a superstar today, though, and went down to my hometown courthouse to retrieve my certified birth certificate. Twice. They rejected him the first time -"because he's not my real dad". Bastards. So I called and sweetly, innocently asked them if I could relenquish my b.c. to "my attorney". No problem. Send a letter. I can't believe an attorney has more clout than the man who raised me for 18 years. Anyhow, I got the b.c. so I can safely cross the border.

He makes me want to be a better person.
