oh, another nice normal day. went to work and exercised. cooked some fish at marco’s house. paired it with some of the thai leftovers. it was good. then we watched rosemary’s baby, but i fell asleep towards the end. i mostly like the beginning parts anyway, who cares about the devil parts.
now i’m ready for bed. pretty boring but that’s okay. for now anyway.
today was cool. my family celebrated wednesday night by cooking a thai dinner. it was spectacular. the curry was very rich and flavorful, and certainly fattening. my mom said we weren’t supposed to be feasting like that on ash wednesday. i suppose we ought to have considered being more observant. woe to us. and whoa.
the knee that got hit by a car ten years ago was sore today. maybe rain clouds are moving in.
there was a work party today. it felt nice not having to avoid the guy who calls me jill anymore. now it’s all just a good funny thing. weird how some things turn out after so many years.
i want to catch some z’s now and i’m going to get them. so spoiled.
i’m tired and not feeling that well. i went to the gastroenterologist today but she didn’t seem to know what was up. they drew some more blood for a thyroid panel. i guess i’ll get the results in six weeks. ugh.
i took a long nap after work and exercised. now i’m ready to go back to sleep.
i need to get the wrx smogged. it is not going to pass.
i better walk charlotte and go to sleep now. i feel weird.
spent some time in santa barbara to celebrate marco’s mom’s birthday and cheers to another year of jameson shots. i had a wonderful time. the birthday party took place in a really neat house where we all frolicked and chatted about golfing and yachting over glasses of wine. i like parties like that. lots of nice people and i’m glad marco has a nice family. his mom looks really amazing for her age.
we stayed the night in a “really nice” suite right across the street from the beach. weeell, it wasn’t really “really nice” like the kid at the front desk said, but it had tons of charm and the view was lovely. and you know i mostly care about charms and views. we hung out briefly at a silly college bar (with ping-pong tables!) where drinks were cheap and the crowd was lame. then we went to one of my favorite bars where superbartender works. for days before the trip i had been planning on ordering some kind of blue martini, and i did. blue curacao, grey goose, pineapple juice, cointreau. it was good. let the blue martini trend begin.
we finished the night by grabbing a snack from my favorite hotdog place. i love that place.
the next morning marco treated me to breakfast and to some more libations. i ate some poached eggs on the wrong toast with some great coffee. then we walked around downtown and drank some excellent margaritas made by potential superbartender2. i had never been to that particular mexican restaurant before, but it sure is neat in there. people around were mostly drinking mimosas or bloody marys, which is fun. afterwards, we checked out stearns wharf like tourists, ate some snacks, and drank snakebites. someone copied us and got a snakebite too. then that person got a blue martini.
i was tired and fell asleep on the drive back. i’m still pretty tired so i think i’ll hit the hay now. charlotte and i are happy to be in our normal bed.
being cool and looking weird:
nothing new to report. i’m tired after a nice normal day.
one of the fluorescent light bars that the electrician “repaired” and replaced only works if i jiggle it around into the fixture.
jiggle
hi, i came back home tonight. i must have been gone for a long time because being here feels kind of new. maybe it is because of the lighting the electrician repaired. kitchen is bright and weird. the electrician feels like a long time ago too. even looking in my own refrigerator was fun. i didn’t know i had lemons. charlotte and i will be happy to sleep in our normal bed.
i pretty much passed the entire staycation at my mom’s house. it was relaxing because i pajammed all day. one day i stayed in my pajamas all day and then went back to sleep in them at night. most nights i stayed up until 5am, watching something really stupid on television, like hannibal rising. okay movie, but stupid because i forgot i already watched it before. the weather was ideal for couch surfing. i ate fruity pebbles. i did some pull-ups. i loved being around my family.
what i did not love was valentine’s day. i usually do, but oh well. i’m not perfect either. don’t expect anything.
i also found an old pair of my navy blue keds champions from 15 years ago in a box in my mom’s garage. i wear them without laces. i’m so cool.
i guess i’m getting tired now. no drunk dialing…
the electrician came over today. been having some ongoing electrical problems, but soon they will be completely repaired. he fixed some stuff, but he is returning on friday to replace breakers and ballasts. it will be nice to have full-on lighting in the kitchen again.
sometimes i pretend to prejudge people by their professions. for instance, i hate anesthesiologists, they’re all jerks. i like ups delivery drivers, they are friendly even after hours of driving and heavy lifting. composers are weird. dogwalkers are drama queens. ice cream truck drivers are grumps. school nurses are spinsters. furniture builders are good skaters. i have not really dealt with an electrician before, so i did not know what to expect. electricians look like actors.
guess what, after tomorrow i’ll be on staycation supremo.
now i’m going to watch some more godfather and doze off. i don’t like the part when they kill sonny. poor sonny.
I’ve been a hobo since wednesday night. charlotte and i have been crashing out here and there again, but tonight we are finally back home. we didn’t travel anywhere. we took it easy and relaxed at my mom’s house. my mom got some new super television sets so i’ve been enjoying cable programming “in hd.” ugh. viewed mostly food network, some degrassi: the next generation (don’t laugh), and movies. it was weird that so many of my favorite movies eg, breaking away, rosemary’s baby, age of innocence, and dear frankie aired. i only watched dear frankie and smart people. it was fun, but i still don’t like tv. it made me lazy, snack a lot, and stay up too late.
i slept in until 2:30 in the afternoon and then loafed in my pajamas all day, watching tv and eating snacks! i even ate string cheese.
i feel good, but i have a feeling i won’t be able to fall asleep so i’m going to treat myself to a glass of wine and watch some noncable television now.
i’m looking forward to super breakfast.
