Jenna looked at me this morning and said, "You look worried." I guess
that's an accurate description of my mood. "Discontent, agitated,
fidgety, frustrated and restless" are all good words to describe me today,
too. I haven't quite had enough sleep, due to spending too much time
working through stuff with David last night. What? Oh, yes, there's
still "stuff" with David, though when I think about it, it's really not
Fifi Danger! type stuff, but other stuff. I suppose I should take heart
in that - that we're not really at each other's throats as much as we used
to be. That's somewhat encouraging. Anyhow, I can only blame so much on David; a lot of my mood has to do with tight shoulder blades, another dreary, rainy day and the general discontent with my life right now. I feel like I should be doing more, but laziness gets in my way. Or apathy, which is worse than laziness. So, for lunch today I braved the insane river/roads around here to run some errands. First stop was Walgreens, where I bought sentimental Valentine cards for Mom, Uncle Jimmy and both Grandmas. It made me feel good to write out little notes in each one, as I know my Uncle and my Grandmothers don't get much mail, and it will be a nice change for them. I also bought a set of school Valentines to give out with Jenna at work (her idea, though I'd love to take credit). These cards have aliens on them dressed like hippies, and have all sorts of hippy-dippy sayings - they're a riot! It was the last box, so don't go trying to copy me ;-). After Walgreens, I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics to buy feathers to make a headdress to wear with my tango dress tomorrow night. What's tomorrow night? Oh, it's the annual St. Valentine's Day Massacre party at the House. I always have a good time at this party, especially when we play Ian's game, "Family". Basically, it's a regular party, but some people have secret cards identifying them as a Don, Federal Agent or hit man (or family member). You have to try and figure out who's who, so you can kill the right people (if you're a hit man) or arrest the right villans (if you're a fed). I'm excited about the game, but I'm really looking forward to socializing with Ian and Elle, and I hope Carjoi (Carol and Jodi) and the Lizard Welders (Scott, Dan and Judy) are there, as I miss them and see them way too seldom. After Jo-Ann's I went to the beauty shop where I bought a new, much brighter, red hair-dye. I chickened out at the last minute, and bought a temporary color, so if I hate it, it'll be gone in 4 - 6 weeks. I decided there's no better way to lift your mood than to lift your haircolor. (Yes, I know that's just buying into the whole cosmetic industry's brainwashing but if you saw how grey it was outside and what a pretty, bright poppy orange color the dye is, you'd understand. I think.) I think I'm going to do this either later tonight or tomorrow morning. If I get my homework done. Tonight, I'm hanging out with Todd, whom I haven't seen since Leigh was in town before Xmas! Argh! Why do we let it get so long between visits? It's so weird to me that I never see Todd - he lives literally 5 minutes away from me! We keep saying we're not going to let that happen again, but that just seems to increase the time between hang-outs. Sigh. Well, it'll be good to see him tonight. I hope my mood holds back and doesn't bite him accidentally. Have a good weekend y'all! | ||
