Josh’s film screened today at the UCLA Spotlight Festival in front of many industry folks. I am so proud of him and I hope that he will get some people talking about his film and spread the word. For as much as I hate networking, I know that it is very necessary to get jobs and recognition in his world (and in my soon-to-be world when I start work next week). I saw Jon Cryer (he will always be Duckie to me) there because he was in one of the short live action films. It was awesome. The films this year were great and I am amazed by the quality of the films because I know that there is so much hard work that goes into making any film. Wow. I was impressed. It was also nice to see his mom again. I haven’t seen her since Christmas! Holy cow.

I stopped by my mom’s place to drop off some stuff and she reminded me that my cousin’s wedding is next weekend (I totally forgot). I can’t believe that it’s coming up so fast! This makes having a sleepover next weekend very difficult. Argh! I have to figure it out. My mom just found out that she has high blood pressure and I know that it runs in the family because my grandma has it as well. I’m concerned for her and I told her not to be too stressed or worried about things, but I don’t know if she will listen. My mom is pretty good with her health, so I hope that it’s not that bad. I just got mine checked at my doctor’s office and I seem to be normal, which is a relief. Health problems scare me. After working at a cancer center, I tend to be overly cautious and force my friends to see their doctor for regular check ups and to see their gynecologist. I also force my older relatives get colonoscopies, if they can. My mom gave me eggs and soda this time, no fruit. I never leave there empty handed because she forces me to take something. I know better to not say no this time.

It’s only Wednesday. One more week exactly. One more week and I’ll be done with my job and starting another one. I am just waiting. I am ready. Training my replacement is very trying at times, but she is getting the hang of it. I know that she will be good and up to par by next week, so that is a major relief for me. I like leaving a place knowing that there is someone that is competent taking over. That way I won’t worry too much or feel bad, I guess. I figure that I will watch over her Monday-Wednesday next week and help her only if she needs it. So those days shouldn’t be too bad. The excitement hasn’t worn off yet.

I am happy because I got a pair of rose/mauve colored Puma’s that were on sale. Hooray! And I couldn’t resist the pair of Dr. Scholl’s sandals because they were on sale for $10. I’m still such a girl. I love me my shoes. And yet I always want more.
