No Regrets!

My last days in Seattle are coming to a close, and although I didn't see it coming, it's ending pretty...badly? sadly? quietly? I don't know what the right word is to tell you the truth. Work is more than I bargained for, with the new buyer out sick, leaving me annoyed but not overburdened. Actually, it could be busier and I would feel better. It was strangely quiet today, so I fear for tomorrow and the next day...my last day!!! Praise God!
Last Saturday was my official going away party, with about forty of my best friends. It was a great party, full of delicious food and wine. One guy that I don't know very well brought my 'Wine of the Night". a bottle of Ojai 'Hudson' Syrah. Geez, I wish I'd know him better! That's a guy I would have liked to have hung out with! Another guy, one I know a little bit better, came all dressed up. He was at an auction, though, turned out it had nothing to do with my party, but, anyway, I'd never seen him so dressed up before and I thought, geez, I wish I had hung out with him a little more!
Isn't that the way it goes? And, are we really taking people for granted? Maybe I did enjoy each of these people to the fullest while I was here. Maybe what I'll do is stop wasting time watching TV when I could be hanging out with friends, drinking wine and getting to know people.
Turns out I have a 'bodyguard' coming to NYC with me for the first few days. Selfishly, I'm glad. I won't have the privacy needed for a good, long cry. I'll have to buck up and keep a steady gaze. I think that's for the best. Besides, this guy has friends already in New York, so maybe I'll get to know some dressed-up, great wine-loving Manhattanites on my very first night! Who knows? Anything can happen: it's New York!!
