Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 – We flew all the way from the US across the Atlantic, over 5,000 miles but can’t get away from work. The emails phone calls and messages are not stopping, and although I notified everybody and requested that only emergencies and bugs will be handled, everything became urgent. Dormant projects came alive and I I just got swamped. Even getting up at 5:00 and working till 1:00pm full 8 hours, is not enough.
The good thing is that the last couple days were cloudy and a little colder. Nothing to worry about – still in the 60’s but too cold to jump to the sea.
Yesterday we went to eat at a good Brazilian Restaurant – Casa De Brazil. It was my dad, My daughter Patti and I. Excellent food and very relaxing atmosphere – just in case you drive through the city and wonder where to eat.Today it was Cecille birthday. Cecille is a great young lady that helps my mom as she is getting older. She became part of the family and we all love her very much. We took her to a nice dinner in an outdoor restaurant. Guess what? The owner is a friend of mine from high school! So cool to meet so many friends
Cecille didn’t expect it, and when they served the little cake and Ice Cream and sang Happy Birthday – she realized it was for her, and cried from Joy. That was an exciting moment for us all. She did not see her family in the Philippines for over 4 years.I hope the pressure will go down this week. I really don’t want to spend all the time sitting and working here. I could have done that in the US. I plan to go tomorrow to the beach and have some fun! (and beer).
Glad to see you had a good day with family and Cecille had a great Birthday, looks to me like all the Ladies in your life are all extremely attractive, lucky you.61 degrees isn't bad, we started our Blizzard this morning you can check in the progress on our blog, where your trailer is should be getting about the same as it came in through Kansas.Like I said if you can swing it don't be in a big hurry to fly back. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
