I have upgraded my work wardrobe, first time in two years. Usually, when I go to the store, I'll only get what I need, but this time, i was a bit more selfish. 
I went and bought two pairs of shoes, three shirts and some new pants. Now, the shirts, for example, were all fitted, to give me a more professional look. This is something i've just now noticed REALLY makes a difference on me. I've got longer than average arms and it's hard to find the right collar/sleeve combo, but i found exactly what i needed and jumped on it.
Next, I get pulled over and cited for speeding while on my way to church, of all things. I play things real cool. But I'm late, got passengers with me, and ultimately VERY low on money. Yet, I get no break; ticket for $110!!! Says he's given me a break by citing me for less mph than it really was. Yea, right.
However, I take it in stride and keep moving. stiff upper lip and all that.
Anyway, get to the church, I drop my people at the door, circle, hoping to find a spot, and guess what...the ENTIRE parking lot is filled, no spaces, nothing. So I drive around a few times, hoping to get something. Get tired drive off. But was bound to use my time productively.
I get a few blocks from the church, see a guy walking who flags me down for a while. I pass him up, but think again, and double back. He tells me where he's headed and, not 100% sure where it is, I'm like "Sure, hop in!!" I have a good sense of where the area is but i tell him let me know when i'm close. We're listen to the radio and chatting and i pass his turn off. we get to his neighborhood about 45 minutes later! and i'm talking and joking with this guy, as if he were a friend or something. So that had me questioning things for a while..picking up this guy and stuff, unfazed by the ticket but just kept on.
I have one week to go for Stage 1 and have had a mixture of good vibe days with negative energy ones, but on the whole i'll say good. Before i started the sub, i wasn't too much on the girlfriend thing anyway, and i still feel that way. Looking forward to stage 2.
