A couple more days.
A couple more days is all that separates me from going home to my family for some well-needed rest and recuperation. I have not seen my family since I had left for college a few months back, so it is safe to say I am missing them a little bit. My mom has been working on this new project for her work and is having some struggles on developing an excel spreadsheet to level of complexity she wants it to have. I weirdly love working on excel because it comes easy and natural to me. The least I can do is help her out since I owe her everything. I am sure my dad will be happy to have me home so that he can have an excuse, like he even needs one, to go outside and have a cigar and beer with his son.
It is going to be slightly strange though going home due to recently putting down our Australian Shepard, Stella. If you know me or even have read anything I post on any of my social channels, my love for dogs came from my love for her. It is going to be difficult for me in the first few minutes when I come home because she used to always run up and greet me like she did when she was a puppy. It also will be hard later in the night because whether it is me coming home from the bars late or going to get a glass a water, she was always right there by my door, making sure I was okay. As much as I keep thinking I want a dog, I do not know if taking care of one right now is in my and his or her best interests. I live a busy lifestyle with having two capstones, work for a promotional product retailer, on the executive board for our university's chapter of the American Marketing Association, and lastly be a captain on the university's varsity track and field team. I worry that I might not be able to care for her as best as I should and do not want to treat or train her wrong because of such.
Anyways, it will nice seeing my sister as well. She recently has been making some "big girl decisions" in her life. By this I mean she bought a relatively new camping trailer and fishing boat. We are best friends so everything going on in our lives are extremely important to us. I am sure we are going to talk about my recent job offer of district sales manager with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Regardless, I think this weekend will be a well-needed time for not only myself, but friends and family as well.
Until Next Time,
Matt
