The holidays are quickly creeping up. We had our first taste of winter a few days ago. It wasn't enough snow thankfully to stick too much but it along with the cold reminded me of what's to come. Dom had a scary moment going to work narrowly avoiding being hit by a spun out semi-truck. People definitely don't know how to drive when the elements first hit.
Dom and I are planning to do a bit of traveling next week for the Thanksgiving Holiday. The plan is for him to drive us to visit his family the Day before Thanksgiving and stay till Thanksgiving. Then come back home and I drive us to Detroit to see my sisters. I really want him to go to Detroit since he hasn't been since my Mom's funeral. He couldn't make my Dad's funeral because he started week one of the new school year at the same time and needed to be there.
Dom's already reneging on doing any traveling next week. It doesn't help that the weather may be crappy as well. But I really think we need to visit. His sister is on the tail end of receiving chemo for cancer and it would great if his parents got to see all three siblings together at the same time. Also like I said he hasn't been to Detroit in a while and he needs to make an appearance. I'm praying the weather cooperates next week though since even I am not keen on driving if the weather is messy.
I capped off a great week at work (even through some annoying customers and account executive managers - but that's every week...*LOL*). I closed a record 19 cases this week. I'm usually lucky to close 10 cases. But the stars seemed to align this week. I have another certification exam that I'm attempting to take tomorrow as well that I hope I can pass on. This time it's for Business Analyst, which used to be my past life. I'm hopeful that I can add yet another Salesforce certification to my coffer which will make 6 certifications. (Yes I also managed to finally get the Sales Cloud Consultant Certification after my 3rd try on October 4th). I'm hoping the questions for the BA cert will be intuitive based on the ones I've studied on.
Eugene called me the other day as well which was nice. We don't talk as much these days like we used to years back. He wanted me to help him verify access to download a recommendation letter he wrote for a former student (a greek hottie) who he kinda messed around with. Greek hottie was a college student (now assistant professor) to clarify and it didn't happen till after he was done taking Eugene's class. So anyway Eugene has been tight lipped on pics of him. But he gave me enough information that I was able to do a Google search on the sly and finally lay eyes on a photo of him. And wooh...boyfriend is fine! Of course I had to tell Eugene what I did and we both shared a nice laugh.
This weekend will be busy at our Church as well. I'm part of the Church board and as clerk I have to take minutes for our yearly congregational meeting and also present accomplishments for the year which includes donations of school supplies and Christmas presents for children of parents impacted by the HIV virus, participating in local Pride fests, as well as hosting game nights and karaoke. It's a bit of work being on the board but thankfully it's been manageable.
That's been my life in a nutshell. I'm keeping it moving forward.
