RUN: 2 miles @15:04, Home <--> WM

Tonight, I finally made it back out for a run, a nice and easy two mile run across the roundabout to the side of WM. I ran mostly on the grass and felt more of a workout for my upper-body (which really needs it). My knees didn't ache afterwards, but I think it was the running on grass, the easy warm-up of mowing the lawn, and the fact that I mowed the lawn, bought a couple of wedding gifts (used coupons!), and got my ticket for tomorrow's 8:00pm showing of POTC3!

The movie is getting mah reviews (50% at RT.com, yet 8.6 at imdb) *shrug*. It's going to be my 3-hour planned distraction tomorrow night. Then who knows what the rest of the 4-day weekend will bring... Disney? Universal? Tea House!

I'm digressing.

Anyways, work's been better since yesterday. My officemate and I... we didn't have a "heart-to-heart"... but we cleared the air -- attempting to understand each other. My heart and body was so full of conflicting/confusing emotions -- knowing that I couldn't have a heart-to-heart, but also knowing that I had to be sure that I stood up for myself this time. I hadn't expected for things to come to a head that day and just didn't know what to do with all the emotion (he actually apologized! (totally unexpected!)).

So that was what happened towards the end of yesterday. Today, the air was much clearer, and it was nice not carrying around such hard feelings. And I realized that although we may not ever be the best professional team, it doesn't mean that we can't still work together effectively. It'll one day at a time. And that's something that we both can agree on.

Now, for those who've been missing them, here are some kitchen pics from tonight:
