Life is Good

D just left. We had an awesome time together but I will spare you guys the details. Hehehe. But then of course, we always have an awesome time together. Always...

I had a mandatory meeting today in downtown SF and I figured if I left around 8:40, that will give me at least 50 minutes to get there. But guess what, I got to the Bay Bridge toll plaza and all those computerized signs were flashing: "CAUTION. ACCIDENT ON BRIDGE." I was so mad! No wonder why I haven't moved an inch in five minutes! So I got through the metering lights, past the accident then got stuck behind a slow moving car! How in the world can this happen to me! Just when I had a meeting and gotta be there on time, accidents happen and everybody seem to be taking their own sweet time driving on the bridge. Well, the truth is, the car before me was going on the speed limit which is 50 miles (80 kph) per hour but God, when I am late I don't care about the speed limit anymore. I'd rather go 15 miles above the speed limit, (75 mph which is around 120kph), as long as there are no CHP's (California Highway Patrol) around so I could make it on time.

It was 9:25 when I got off the freeway into the city streets. I thought, yeah, I can make it on time. But guess what, I had no money at all to pay for parking which is around $6 for couple hours and no coins so I can park by a parking meter. So I had to drive around 2 city blocks to look for free parking which is as rare as a diamond in the city. Luckily, I found one within a block away but it was limited for an hour only. I thought, what the heck, let me just park here and either get a parking ticket if I exceed the time limit or just take a break in the middle of my meeting and move it. So halfway through the meeting, I went and moved my car.

Went to Safeway after my meeting to get me some lunch and get cash back so I have at least a dollar worth of coins for the parking meter at the bank. I had to go to the bank earlier to get a money order for my deposit at the new apartment. As I was driving to the bank, D called just to say "Hi" and "I love you" as he was passing by my neck of the woods and he was wondering if I was home so he could stop by and give me a wuick hug. Aaaaaw! I thought that was so sweet! You have no idea how much those little phone calls mean to me. It was just a five-minute call but damn, it instantly brightened up my day.

On my way home, I stopped by my new apartment to give my deposit and sign my lease. Good lord, the lease agreement was probably 15 pages! Of course I made sure I read every single sentence, crossed out every blank space with a dollar sign on it, made sure I understand everything and signed it. Phew! Finally! I got it all over with. I looked around the aparment one last time and left.

Took a shower. Blowed my hair dry and waited for D.

D came and we spent an awesome, absolutely wonderful time together.
