TODAY WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS THAT MAKE ME BELIEVE THE OLD ADAGE "YOU CAN'T APPRECIATE THE GOOD TIMES WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE BAD." AFTER SUCH A ROUGH DAY YESTERDAY, TODAY WAS A COMPLETE 180 DEGREE REVERSAL. I HAD PROBABLY THE BEST DAY I'VE HAD HERE, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THAT WAS IN SPITE OF SPENDING ALMOST 12 HRS. AT THE OFFICE! I STILL WOKE UP A BIT LATE TODAY, BUT FOR SOME REASON EVERYONE AT THE OFFICE WAS SUPER FRIENDLY. ONE GIRL THAT I AM WORKING WITH FORCED ME TO SHARE HER BREAKFAST AND LUNCH, EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HER I'D HAD BREAKFAST AT MY APARTMENT (WHICH I HAD) AND THAT THE PIZZA I ORDERED FOR LUNCH WAS ON ITS WAY. BUT SHE WOULD NOT HEAR OF ME SITTING DOWN TO "GROUP LUNCH" WITHOUT A PLATE AND SOMETHING ON IT. THE OTHER GIRLS WERE SUPER INCLUSIVE TODAY TOO. THEY ALL LISTENED INTENTLY TO MY "CUJO" STORY (SEE PREVIOUS POST) AND EVEN SHARED MY PIZZA WHEN IT CAME. IT WAS SO NICE TO FEEL LIKE I FIT IN BETTER TODAY, AND WE EVEN PLANNED (OK, I SUGGESTED WHEN WE WERE ALL HANGING OUT GOOFING AROUND) TO GET TOGETHER ON A SATURDAY FOR YOGA IN THE PARK. THEY HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOGA -- ASKING ME IF IT WAS POPULAR IN THE U.S. AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IT IS BIG OVER HERE. SUPPOSEDLY THERE ARE GROUPS THAT DO YOGA IN THE VARIOUS PARKS AND YOU CAN JUST WALK UP AND PARTICIPATE. I AM GOING TO TRY TO PUSH IT -- SOUNDS FUN. I MEAN HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY "OH YEAH, I'VE DONE YOGA IN INDIA WITH 5 OF MY INDIAN GIRLFRIENDS!"? NOT THAT MANY, RIGHT? WELL, I WANT TO BE ONE! WE WILL HAVE TO SEE IF I CAN CONVINCE THEM TO DO IT. THEY DID MENTION THAT WEEKENDS ARE SACRED BECAUSE THE WORK-WEEK AT THE OFFICE IS SOOOO LONG, SO I'M NOT 100% SURE THEY ARE FOR GETTING TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THEIR COWORKERS ON THE WEEKEND. I GUESS WE WILL SEE!
AFTER I FINALLY GOT OFF WORK TONIGHT, I ENJOYED SOME OF THE PIZZA I HAD LEFT OVER FROM LUNCH AND DECIDED TO WASH A LOAD OF CLOTHES (JUST SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF SOCKS AND SUCH). I KNOW YOU MUST BE THINKING "WOW! YOU HAVE A WASHER AND DRYER WHERE YOU'RE STAYING?!" WHY OF COURSE I DO! HERE THEY ARE:
HA, HA...NICE, RIGHT?! WELL, DESPITE HOW I MIGHT APPEAR, I AM ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD AT ROUGHING IT. I ACTUALLY LIKE IT. I LIKE CAMPING, THE OUTDOORS, AND SUCH. AND HONESTLY WASHING MY CLOTHES IN A BUCKET IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. I THINK I WOULD BE MORE CONCERNED IF I WAS HAVING TO GO SOMEWHERE NICE AND I HAD TO WASH MY OWN BALL GOWN -- BUT HERE, NO BIGGIE IF MY SOCKS DON'T GET SUPER, SHINY WHITE. I'M JUST HOPING THEY DRY QUICKLY. IT IS REALLY HUMID HERE, AND THEY ARE HANGING IN THE BATHROOM -- WHICH DOES NOT GET THE A.C. (SINCE THERE IS AN OPEN WINDOW IN THE BATHROOM, I KEEP THE DOOR TO THE BATHROOM CLOSED AT ALL TIMES - AND BOY IS IT HOT IN THERE!) MY FRIEND DAVID ARRIVED IN DELHI TONIGHT (POOR GUY'S FLIGHT WAS DELAYED FOR HOURS!) AND SINCE HE WILL PROBABLY COME CHECK OUT MY PLACE, THAT IS ANOTHER REASON I NEED MY "ITEMS" TO DRY QUICKLY! DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS HANGING AROUND! ;)
OK, WELL I AM OFF TO BED TO TRY AND GET SOME SHUT-EYE. HAVEN'T BEEN SLEEPING WELL - JUST TOSSING AND TURNING UNTIL EARLY MORNING - THEN SUPER HARD TIME GETTING UP. BUT MAYBE TONIGHT WILL BE BETTER!
