A little rest might do me good.
Got to sinking in the place where I once stood.
Now I ain't living like I should."
It's better for me." "Do I see myself here in three years ? If the answer is no, why wait ?
Or, I am just fucking done. See ya.

Tuesday
More weirdness sending release letters out. Bunches of them. What have I started ?
CT kickass workout in PM. Better.
Wednesday
Weirdness continues. No hairy eyeball yet, they are still in shock.
Thursday
Up to CT to throw it down hard. 15/15 x 80. 7 rep pace, her tripped out, me killing it.
Friday
Does not get any stranger than this. Weirder and weirder as afternoon wears on. Old guys pretty pissed. I've walked out with more than a dozen clients, and they are now realizing what they should have seen two years ago. See ya ostrich. To Pradeep and the mat. Cause it'll make me better.
Saturday
Glitches all around. Brigid sums it up nicely: "They're really rolling out the welcome wagon for you huh Dad ?" As I sit with my boxes in an unfamiliar hallway trying to get into the office I've arranged.
Could be bad but get in and BG helps me and Brigid move stuff. The van is unloaded in six trips. Office is a fucking mess.
Night, new firm Christmas party at Left Bank. Everyone amused. Goes well but drank too much.
Sunday.
Back in to set up computer, unload. See what's what. Need help. Do not freak out.
Monday
By 10:30 functioning again. Email intact, not missing a beat. Work streaming in. It is as I had hoped/sold. They don't care about the number or address, as long as you are on the other end. Phew. Hit it Monday night hard.
Tuesday
At the mothership in SR. Seamless work flow, busy all day. No exercise.
Wednesday
Same as above. Except old firm freaking out about subs and tomorrow's court appearance, trashing me. Fuck you, grow up. No, you are not.
Thursday
Effective five minutes and motion is resolved. Rest of day is first full, killing it. New client meeting, other impending shit storms, setting up 2013. Happier and happier. Hit gym hard, 24kg press ladders x 5 and stuff in between. Barbacco after, then go pick up Ian. Better. New normal.
Friday
Shut out of pot conference with LDC. Pretty good day. MH at noon. Productive afternoon. Drinks with former judge and pot lawyers at the Clift. LDC lovely and uber-competent.
Saturday
Shop, vacuum, snatches, 15/15 7 rep pace x 80. Boom.
Sunday
Back to office. They like me and so have made space. Move boxes out, get chairs in, work for two hours. Get the feel. In gym for effective barbell and dumbell session, then 10k meters on rowing machine watching 49er's beat Dolphins. Nervous system fried, this has been a month not to be forgotten. Would not have it any other way.
Change is good. As for all those freaking out: that you did not see it coming is very instructive.
