A ton of crap happened today. Namely:
– I did an inspired job on my data analysis midterm. I mean, I TOTALLY kicked that test’s ass. I was the first one in my class of 16 or so done, prompting my professor (who had adjourned to his office while we took the open-book, open-note exam) to remark, “You have the distinction of being the first one done,” to which I replied, “Let’s hope that proves fruitful for me, eh?” (He’s Canadian, btw.)
– My blood pressure was at a level acceptable to Amy, my PA, for the first time today since I started seeing her. Namely, it was at a comfy 116/83. There was much happiness over that discovery, and I left her office today without scheduling a follow-up appointment for the first time in probably two years.
– I told Carolyn about my spring schedule, and we had a very lengthy, but reasonably upbeat, discussion about my job. More on this later.
– Our landlord went over to the old house on Seabrook today. She called me when she was on her way over, and left me a voicemail apologizing for running a bit late, hoping that didn’t prove to be an inconvenience. RIIIIIIGHT. Daniel actually ended up meeting her at the house (mostly by happy accident/coincidence), and promised her we’d have things more cleaned up than they are now by the end of the weekend. SO. Guess what I’ll be doing Sunday? 
I’ve got more, but I’m hungry and am going to figure out something for dinner. Will regale you with more chatty stories soon, though, promise!
