Fresh Beginnings

10/22/2015

0 Comments

 
So much going on at work - my CEO stepped down. The person who was my protector and biggest supporter. While I know alot of people had a hard time working for him, I embraced his OCD ways of perfection. He made me a better employee and manager. I would work for him again in a heartbeat.

And now the CFO resigned. He was also a big fan of mine so was feeling secured in my role. And now I'm not sure about the future. They certainly need me now but who knows later? But you know what? I can't worry about it. I told my staff that we have to think about this phase as "fresh beginnings." Both personally and professionally.

I'm actually happy about my life - no drama. And yes, no boyfriend but I know in my heart there is one out there who will sweep me off my feet. I won't settle for less......and maybe I'll end up as the old cat lady?! But it could be worse. But most of all, I have faith that Mom is looking and will send someone to me approved by her.

Back from MD

l Just flew back this am from visiting with Nancy and Brandon. It was a chill weekend spent shopping, lots of eating, cooking and even some gambling! The purpose of this trip was to celebrate my Mom's birthday with two of her favorite people.  We even bought the same whipped cream cake that my Mom enjoyed so much. And it wasn't a hardship to eat it.

We spent Saturday night ​watching all of the videos on this site. We laughed watching my parents talk about their first meeting and me shaving my Mom's head. And it was so bittersweet watching the videos of her at Dana Farber, How strong she was and ridiculously happy despite the fact that she was there for treatment. She was at peace with it all, more so than I was.

On Sunday we were having breakfast at a café and during the conversation, I felt like l was channeling my Mom. I was doling out advice to Brandon​ and almost lecturing him in a similar fashion to what my Mom used to do. Thank goodness he didn't seem to mind! 
 
I visited her today at the cemetery and thought how special she was. It's just too bad I'm realizing it now. And how much I still miss her. ​ But I feel her...near me...close by...watching over me.

Have fun in China, Dad!

I took Dad to airport late last night and oddly enough I got teary-eyed when I said goodbye. Even gave him an awkward hug. Never felt like that before when dropping him off at the airport.

Also, gave him a lecture about taking it easy and not overdoing it - over eating and excessive drinking. Lastly I gave him the breakdown of how much he can spend each week given the amount of $ Norm and I gave him. I even converted it to HK dollars.  Just so he doesn't run out. But chances are he won't follow the budget. But you can't fault a girl for trying!

Crazy that it's like sending a kid off for vacation....but that's Dad for you. One in a million!

Dad is heading off to HK/China/Taiwan on Tuesday. So he'll miss Mom's birthday this year. Which is fine. He usually visits Nancy and Brandon in MD around this time. And oddly enough, I had this urge to be with them this year. I haven't felt this way for the last couple of years when Dad went. So I booked the flights for next Thursday! I think it's a good sign that I'm doing this. Mom-approved....

I had a friend stay with me this past week. Man, I'm quickly realizing I'm becoming a stodgy old lady! I was getting annoyed with some stupid shit. Plus I didn't get alot of sleep during the 6 nights she was there! And maybe it was because Choco was restless and didn't like closed doors. Anyways as much as I love my friend,  I was glad to have the place to myself and the babies again. Am catching up on my sleep now.

On another note, my Dad and I visited my grandmom a couple of weeks ago. And she kept grilling my Dad about getting remarried. She said a woman wouldn't love him unless he had money. So he shouldn't risk losing his kid's love to remarry. Brutal, right? But so true. I'm not opposed to him hooking up with someone but doesn't need to remarry.

    I'm fortunate enough to have an awesome job at a biotech company. I'm also blessed to have the bestest of friends in the world - from Castle Square, ATASK, and Jamie Club - you know who you are! Last but not least, I have a family that are always there for me. 

    Because of all the people in my life, awesome opportunities have come my way - working and volunteering in the community. I hope to continue that work with a little help from my friends.
