State of the skennedy
Having dinner and drinks with Colleen last night was pretty great. We hit up that local joint, Charley’s, and I had a fantastic chicken kebab. We have some old college buddies that might be getting together for a reunion of sorts, which is a … complicated matter. It will, one way or another, be entertaining. :D
Work has me thoughtful. Task-wise, the job is about 300% better than it was before. I still need to hit on the right technique for getting a reasonable pay, but today might help – they screwed up on my expenses (they just didn’t get processed for some reason, even though they were approved in plenty of time), and when the editor gets back, he’s going to have to go to bat for me. I may make an oblique comment to my expense check being equal to my semimonthly pay check – I just can’t cover bills of this sort until they get their ass in gear, nor should I have to.
I’m missing the lucinator. She was in a silly mood this morning, and I laughed all the way to work.
It’s strange – I’m not a daily communicator very often, but she and I talk pretty much every day, and there’s always something new to talk about and think about. Even on regular ordinary days, we end up sharing a few deep thoughts, comforting each other, and looking on into the future.
I like that a lot, having a relationship that isn’t just fluff, but still has plenty of silliness.
I’m feeling awfully close to my ‘crew’ these days. They don’t need to see me every day to know I love them, and to love me back. Whenever I get antsy with the physical distance between us, I can call someone up and be quickly reminded of how little that really matters.
I feel again as if I’m crafting my world. There is plenty of room for future changes, and it hasn’t happened in the ways I expected, but seeing it come together is very fine indeed.
I’m really looking forward to spring, actually. Once I get work resolved, there are some very big, positive changes in store, and I just can’t wait.

This is bullshit. You know that I just haven’t been able to hire good enough henchmen to have you offed yet.
Sheesh.
They’ll never be good enough, my friend – I’m a smoov muthafucka.
