Friday:
Lab meeting went pretty well...no encouraging comments from the boss, but two others went out of their way to say "good job" and I felt very gratified. Did some experiments, felt productive. Met up with coworkers for happy hour (the first in a while) and had a good time. Wasn't supposed to see the bf, as we are trying to spend more time apart, but ended up seeing each other anyway.
Saturday:
Met a cool girl for brunch. Mediocre benedict at The Cottage. Had great conversation; extended over coffee. Caught up on TV and met up with the bf for dinner, dessert, and hanging out.
Sunday:
Met up with relatives I only recently found out I had. Prestigious scientists in the family! Who knew? Got delicious benedict on cheese biscuit. Yummmmm...saw their awesome house which is as close to the ocean as you can get and apparently famous. Good times. Saw Lucia and her friend at coffee briefly, which was an unexpected delight. Errands...saw bf for a bit...but then he had to leave =( BBQ'ed a ton of stuff for the whole week and am baking a German chocolate cake for my boss's bday. It's turned out to be quite an ordeal...hoping it will be worth the effort. Looks good so far...but watch me drop it or something.
I am really happy with the way things are going with the bf. We actually resolve things and feel better. He says I was difficult to get along with/handle at first, but he thinks he's getting the hang of it and it's much easier now. And worth it. I have never had anyone handle me so well and so sweetly. He's the most thoughtful person I've dated, I think. And it's so obviously mutual, the affection, that I feel much more secure than ever. He says he's noticed. He cares and pays attention and remembers all these things I say...and acts on them. And I just can't do enough for him. I need ideas of things to do for him...*sigh*
Gotta work on advancement one of these days...bleh.
