Friday: dinner at Hoover's w/ Elena & Dark Goddess. That girl does
not eat enough to keep a sick kid alive. The waiter brought me a
catfish sandwich...I wanted the cajun ham. But I guess I can see how
it might be confusing. The catfish was not all the way cooked.
Catfish is not good sushi. Anyway...it wasn't bad, I guess. I didn't
eat too much at least. So...we went to the Vortex, Sonya was already
there. We chatted, it was nice. Kathleen & Kimberly finally showed
up, we talked about K&J's upcoming wedding, bla bla.
The show was faboo. Very much better than last year's. Kali was
neato. (wrote about it in Diaryland diary already)
Everyone pretty much left right after the show, no hanging around and
chatting, which was a little disappointing. Ah well. Hopefully
this 'gals nite out' thing can continue in the future
Saturday, slept in. Elena called to tell me how much she enjoyed the
evening. Then went running around. No real $ to spend. Checked the
PO box. Got Tom some hot oil & deodorant, looked at finches at Petco,
looked at various stuff at Pier I, wandered thru Walgreens & TJ Maxx
& Sephora. It was all okay. Had a rather trite epiphany ish thing,
about how stuff is stuff and will always be somewhere, waiting to be
bought, so no biggie if I got no $ now to buy it. But having no
friends to go running around with rather sucks. Nobody's fault but my
own. Got $10 worth of gas and a lotto ticket. yah.
Tom & I and Max got together to try & see Spike & Mike, but they were
sold out. We went to the Gingerman and drank beer. I was mean, but
quick witted. I don't like being mean, so why am I? *sigh*
Sunday, Big James called us to see if we wanted Dim Sum. So, we went
to brunch with him. It was all very yummy, I ate way too much. Came
home and slept afterwards.
Woke up and read Dorothy Parker, then went back to bed after the
evening news. I was going to stay up and watch SG1 and Outer Limits,
but SG1 was a 'plotline' show instead of an 'action' show, so I
didn't know what was going on. Seems like most series seem to do
that, some shows are about an ongoing mystery or event, then there is
one that is all wrapped up in 1 episode. With X files, I used to call
them "Alien Conspiracy" shows vs. "Creepy-Crawly" episodes. But seems
like SG1 has a similar kind of thing going. Anyway, since I dont'
watch regularly, I didn't know what was going on and wasn't that
interested. So I went to bed. Very worthless weekend.
Weird dreams. Wierd dreams all weekend, actually. Friday nite: about
Elizabeth Holm writing stories and a print shop online where you
could order them. Saturday nite: about Carrie Appleby killing all her
ex-friends, and I was next, about being a superhero ..the blue chick
from Xmen movie, I think. Woke up monday a.m. with that stupid rap
anti-drug commercial running thru my head "I'm going to jail, going
to jail today"
Lynn says if I let Eric's being stirred up by uB craziness upset me,
then UB wins. I can't walk away from her until she walks away from
him. I can't just dump him because he's in a bad place with a bad
person. It's not a matter of winning/losing. It's a matter of loving
someone enough to hang in there, even when they are pissing you off
or making you insane *sigh*. But she's right about one thing: I
should not let it get me upset. I'm a rock. I hope he quits fucking
around with Dell and puts his energy into the future, looking for a
job, taking positive steps. But it's not up to me where and how he
spends his time/energy.
*sigh*
I am going to the library at lunchtime. I'm excited about that. It's
supposed to get up to 74 degrees today.
Tonight is full moon at NM, but I don't have any $ so I can't make
anything for the potluck. I don't want to go empty-handed. That would
be embarassing.
I *did* manage to make January cash-only, even though I've dipped
into my 'invisible reserve' in my checkbook. It looks like Im
writing hot checks, but I have $200 that I haven't ever recorded,
because of that one time they supposedly got me for writing a hot
check, and it wasn't but I could never prove it. Anyway, when I get
paid on Friday, I will add my salary to the 'negative' balance and
maintain the invisible reserve.
