Mood: Melancholy

Home is behind

The world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadow

To the edge of night

Until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow

Cloud and shade

All shall fade

All shall...fade

Lyrics by Billy Boyd

This song accompanied me to work today. I like it alot, but this morning it seemed rather poignant.

As I was driving on 167th Ave to 66th Street(on my way to work) I looked up in the eastern sky, the sun was just rising and saw a jet and it's contrail streaking slowly up across the sky. It lifted that something inside me that revels in flying. The pilot left his mark, however temporary, and it never fails to inspire. It didn't stay long..but it was beautiful while it was there.

Lastnight's AntiValentine's Day Party was pretty subdued and not many showed, but it was nice to relax and socialize with people I don't know well. I brought chocolate for everyone as my contribution to the evening. It was given to me earlier in the day and because I have decided to cut sugar and bad carbs from my diet I wasn't going to eat them....as much as I longed too. *sigh*

By the time I drove R and N home it was nearly 2am...again. Damn, I really HAVE to stop staying up so late. Coffee only goes so far first thing in the morning. And I have been putting off a project lately too because work and other activities have been taking up so damned much of my free time. Well, the banquet is over now so I won't be working very late any longer. Nor through the weekend. But this week is really busy too. Monday was Taekwondo, Tuesday the get together(yeh, I could have passed but I didn't), Weds-tonight Jeff's Seahawks Football Team has their Annual General Meeting at 7p which we have to attend to sign him up(which means I might miss taekwondo at 8p.)so it is better to cancel the Taekwondo class I think for this week, because Thursday is BP's night which I am going to attend but not for long or late as I need to work on the project I have been putting off completing. I need to work on it Weds, Thurs and Friday too, as the person I am doing it for needs it really soon. I know I can finish it in a couple of hours, it's just getting the time set aside to do that. So the next three days I am making a concerted effort.

I will be going to Suburbs this Saturday however. I need that fix. And it is a long weekend coming up isn't it. So that's good too, as I really need the downtime(read sleep).

Well, I should get to work now...procrastinating here is a mistake. Too much to do, not enough time to complete it. *bigsigh*
