Tomorrow is going to be the hardest day I've faced at work in a long time (the enemies' arrows are close to blocking out the sun), but I've prepared myself as best I can . . . getting in touch with my inner warrior (really, 300 is the best thing EVER for that), preparing to fight and if not conquer, at least go down swinging. I'm also focusing on the amazing weekend I spent with my real-life Warrior. And today I rewarded myself with my first Tiffany gift:
Hooray for me!
Goals for tomorrow:
- Stand/sit up straight.
- Avoid vomiting (in front of anyone).
- Look good (if not fabulous).
- Get some work done.
- Smile.
- Smile some more.
- Engage someone for drinks after work toasting my success in the previous goals.
I miss my best friend, as I could SO use one of his pep talks tonight.
One look in my enemy's eye, and I will know everything I need to know. It's been over a year and he thinks the battle is on his turf . . . but I've already taken the beach. A LONG time ago. I don't have to work with him. HE has to work with ME.
There's an old country song I've been reminded of since this whole mess began:
"Oh, that's a mighty long way to go . . . "
The whole FYH4M mindset is not about what short-term gratification you can rub in another person's face. It's about underlying power, about the long term. The battle may produce one outcome, but the war is long.
I can do this. I will do this. And I will never, ever, look back.

Thinking of you today ...
1. Fab necklace, baby. Wear it well.
2. You are the last person I'd want to go toe to toe with. And I mean that in the best way. Go get 'em. :)
