Go Team

Like I told you, today was A Major One. Turned out to be even more so than I expected, and I respect it more so for that fact.

It's nothing but the power of words, can't you see that?

I got a phone call bearing good news. Not the mega jackpot news I've been hoping for but the kind of small win that an ego like mine needs to keep the facade intact all day long. Flouncing and swishing around in my 50s housewife getup and these Brazilian dancing heels.

Well.

I dressed for good news today.

Then came The Presentation.

And it's not like it was all for naught, and it's not like we failed. But our approach got refined. This is a good thing generally, but tends to deflate when it happens at the moment when you think you're at your puffed up best. Ready for anything.

The Heavens have a sense of humor, it would seem.

Then a single email, some career advice, a chat with my homegirl and an apocolyptic parking lot conversation. A liquor store. A package of Japanese candy. A bottle of water about half as tall as I am and then here.

The other shoe dropped on my toe, but I am still standing.

Now resting.

But tomorrow I will rise again just for the chance of conquering it all. Anything less wouldn't live up to my legend.

Adieu.
