Things I've done since last Thursday:
1) Called the police to report a creepy man looking in my window. Subsequently jumped at every bump and rattle in the night.
2) Completed a planned break-up with my longtime boyfriend, although we had much less time to say goodbye then we would have wished. Watched as he drove away to start an internship in Colorado.
3) Traveled over 1000 miles through four states (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin) and two time zones (CST, EST) in three days with my father to see my brother graduate from Purdue and wish my grandma a happy mother's day. Ate at IHOP for the first time. Spent most of those three days in a car. Slept very little.
4) Spent over 20 hours at work on one spreadsheet, which I am not half done with yet. I see Excel cells behind my eyes when I go to sleep.
5) Actually made it to the gym. Twice.
6) Held a $650,000 check in my own two hands. Thought about how many times my yearly salary that is. Wanted to cry. Refused to take the deposit to the bank by myself because I didn't want that responsibility. Got Patsy to go with me. Together we dreamed about taking the money and running, but then realized that we'd probably get caught and it really wouldn't be worth it unless it was at least a million.
