Carp Seized

When I woke up this morning the sky was grey, which means I will be grumpy. It didn't really matter that I was grumpy because today I was going to hang out with someone made up of rainbows and sunshine. I was up extra early which made me groggy/grumpy. I have been getting steadily more anxious about starting at sunglass hut. Something about selling expensive things makes me feel guilty, on top of that their dress code is mostly shades of grey. I've gotten rid of all my non bright clothes over the last few years (I think I have been wanting my clothes to match my personality). So with the dread of drab clothes that I don't really own, grey skies, and a job I'm not sure I'll like in front of me I set off to hang with Alverina. Well we decided to go do some shopping for me. It was strange showing up to the mall so early, there aren't many people around at 10am on a weekday.
I am now the semi-proud owner of a grey wardrobe, with some black.
After dropping her off back at Gordon I had to go right back to the mall. three hours of training sounded like a breeze. There was some reading and question answering, I even sold a pair of Ray-Ban's. "Hey I want to try some wayfarers, yah those, yah these I'll get these" Easy Peasy they knew what they wanted. The three hours dragged by. I learned some here and there but at a kiosk there are always customers. Aside from learning a few things and trying on some different frames it was fairly slow with lots of people watching.
Once I got out it was freedom!
Across the street to cash a check and then down the street to spend it on gas.
I had a roadtrip in front of me and an empty tank. I was invited down to Wrentham to have dinner with the Moore's and whoever of my snowboard family showed up. It was a full house with the Grand Pubah and Chris making their faces known and all of James' family in attendance plus Kali's bf. Did we eat at a reasonable hour? Well I hadn't eaten since breakfast, so no. Let me say that it is always worth the wait when Chris and James decide to cook. Aside from good conversation and company we had a delicious meal. Steak & salmon with grilled eggplant, asparagus and baked potatoes.
Heavenly.
I lingered there for a while but not nearly as long as I would like. Even helping with dishes, as good 'family' is prone to doing. I hit the road for the much quicker homeward journey. The classic rock d.j. was a extra good tonight.
What started off gloomy has ended on a full day, which is my favorite kind. There are too many days that slip through my fingers I long for more days to be fully seized and not wasted.
