Showing in THREE DAYS!

Another good day. Last night I'd forgotten that I wasn't due in to work until noon today, so I still went to bed early and still woke up at 6:30 like always... but then I remembered, so I went to sleep and got to get up at 8:30 today! Man... it was nice.

Anyways, so I went downtown to check in with Café Centrale to see if they needed anything from me before Friday... but I never caught anyone cause it looked like they were real busy... July's photographs were still up, so I figured they wouldn't be needing my gallery yet. So I went down to the courthouse and got my registration renewed, and while I was down there I stared for a long time at that old Catholic church next to Sacred Heart school... I'll be back over there to take pictures for sure. It's a neat old building... one of these days this summer I'm gonna go around getting pictures of old houses and building... for sure. Old busted cars and trucks are cool too.

Went by Sonic cause I've been wanting to talk to Rick about stuff since I'm leaving and all... I kinda have a relationship that goes further than Boss-Employee with him. I've always heard that if you wanna make it in life hang out with people who ARE making it, so there you go. But he wasn't there this morning, so it was off to Laughlin for me.

On my lunch break I went by the Burger King out there and ran into the Lunsford family having lunch and I was telling Mr. Lunsford about my plans and everything and he made a peculiar comment about "approving of my plan, even though I don't care what he thought", and it kinda bothered me, cause I don't know what he meant by it. I disagreed, though, asking who led him to believe that, and he didn't answer, but I'm thinking he mighta just been playing with me. It does kinda bother me, though. I've always looked up to him...

After work I stopped back by Sonic and finally caught Rick and visited with him for an hour-and-a-half or so, and it was a good talk, he's coming to my Photo Viewing and everything, and he was telling me all this stuff about his high school years and his time in the Army... pretty cool. I feel like if I make an effort to maintain a casual relationship with him that he'll be able to better understand my plans and goals and he'll be able to take care of me as an employee... it's working.

And before I got home, I went back by Centrale to see if Rose was there, but she'd just left and all the July photos were gone, so I'm thinking I need to get the rest of my stuff framed and ready cause it's gonna go up pretty soon. I'm really excited... it's all "butterflies in the stomach" kinda.

No work at Sonic tonight, so I'm stoked.
