Never Going Home?

Somehow, I missed my flight home to Richmond by 20 minutes today.  No other flights until tomorrow morning.  So, good thing Dana picked up her phone and she and Rob swung around to pick me back up.  I have one last night in Denver, which we will spend eating homemade pasta sauce and meatballs, baked eggplant, wine, and some mindless television, which does NOT include tonight's all new Saturday Night Live...which airs at 10:30 pm, which is very very strange to me.  I'm excited to see little Billy Buddy, Neil Patrick Harris, rock out what I predict will be a fantastic episode. 

We had a fantastic week, even though they both had to work a lot.  That allowed me to sleep in and have plenty of down time to relax at the house, take me time try to kick the tuberculosis I somehow contracted from Kelly and to spend quality time with their awesome cats.  I want to steal Helmut from Dana -- her hot and sexy and super talkative Minx with his bobbed tail and chubby belly.  

I had some powerful and interesting interactions with the men in my life this week.  All of them, on some level.  I also drank copious amounts of alcohol, which I believe facilitated some of my more interesting encounters.  I found Lucky Pennies all over the place, and I have to admit, I want to keep a lucky penny in each of my pockets from this day forward.  I DID NOT have a lucky penny on my persons today -- which may have contributed to missing my flight!  See?  That shit is true.  

And while Monday begins the last semester of courses I will likely have to take as a PhD student at VCU, I am really totally over being a student.   A huge part of me wants to drop out and just get a job at a fucking coffee shop.  Or just move to L.A. and get a job as a PA on any indie set or feature film.  I am not too proud to do that just because I'm educated and talented.

But...I'm sure once it all starts back up, I'll feel my way back into this path that I've chosen.  

And my attitude will certainly improve once I head back to the gym at a regular basis and continue sculpting this rockin' body I've got!  And hopefully, this semester will be full of fun visitors to Richmond and some surprises along the way.

For now, I've got two videos on deadline, a syllabis to write, a day full of meetings on Monday, my first day of classes, an appointment with the Apple store to fix my broken $2000 Mac Book Pro and another InSight to edit for PBS.  That's this week.  

Do I really want to even go home?  Or can I just stay at Dana's, eat good food and pet her cats for the rest of my life?
