Saturday.
Saturday.It is almost 3 pm in the afternoon and I can honestly say that the most strenuous thing I have done today has been to make Mac & cheese. I spent the morning on the couch, watching TV and Blow. Finally I can say I have seen Blow. It was good, kind of sad, the ending was as expected, even though I found myself secretly wishing that it wouldn't. Oh well. I guess it is a good reflection on real life.
So - this morning as we were flipping through the channels, there was this horrible breaking news about this kid who stole a car. He had driven onto an overpass when the cops stopped him. What is really freaky though, he got out of his car, ran to the edge of the overpass and fuckin JUMPED OFF THE BRIDGE! Who the hell does that? Did he think he was in a movie or something? And the people on the highway below... What do you do when a body FALLS out of the sky and hits your car? According to the early reports 4 people ran over the guy after he hit the ground. Freaky. I just wonder, what was the guy thinking? What drugs was he cooked up on to make him think of doing that??? And what are the guys who were in on the job thinking now? I don't suppose any of them will wake up and change their lives or anything... But Shit. He jumped off a bridge!
We're going to Portland tonight. I am looking forward to it. It should be a lot of fun. Evan is fun to hang out with and always entertaining. Plus Portland is just a fun city to hang out in.

Ah Friday.
Ah Friday.The week was long. The weekend will be longer. I have so much to do that I can't even start to think about it because I will suddenly start feeling my head expanding and I fear that it will explode.
I was hoping not to have to work on Monday. It is a holiday after all. But that really doesn't seem to be the case. The fates have stacked the cards against me and it looks like I will be coming in for at least 1/2 day. A full day if I don't find some time before that to get other work done.
And on top of all of this, I have to find time to start packing and moving my stuff. I am thinking at least one trip to my mom's will be good enough. At least for this weekend. But there is the prep to be done. And I don't think that she has started cleaning out the back room where I will be staying. Again. I really hate the thought of moving back in with mom. I hate the thought of losing my freedom even for as little as two months. And I really don't like to talk to my mom first thing in the morning. There is just something about it that drives me crazy. Oh well. I guess I will get over it.
Currently I am waiting for one person to come back to her desk so I can get feedback on something I am creating. Really I just need the information so I can pack it away with the laptop that has become mine and take it home to work on sometime. If I get it done on Saturday or Sunday, I only have to come in for 1/2 a day. If I don't, I will be here much longer. I think I can get it done though. The more I work on it, the quicker these little edits go. So, if she would just get back to her desk...
On Saturday I was driving to Seattle to get my hair done
On the way there I saw a police car with someone pulled over. The funny thing was - the car was a little wanna be race car, with "Speed Racer" printed on the side in big bold white letters. The car itself was black. It also had a cool spoiler and racing stripes over the top. I thought, why in the world would you speed in a car that clearly states "Speed Racer"? Is it just me? You think the driver would have known better. At least get a radar detector. I mean really... So - on comes the weekend. If only this person would come back to their desk with the info I need....

Long time no Blog….
Long time no Blog....Here comes the saga... Consider this a warning!
Dentist Woes
So - last week kind of sucked. On Jan 2nd I go to the dentist to have a cavity filled. I am thinking, no big deal. Yeah. Three days later I was still in pain from it. Then the snowstorm hit. We only got 6 inches where I live
But regardless, that hindered my ability to see the dentist in a timely fashion. Long story short I ended up going to the dentist Thursday morning. He informed me that I need a root canal. Oh yeah! The tooth that was fine on Friday now is dying and needs to be drilled out. So - I told him to get on with it. I was hurting and didn't want to ANYMORE. Meanwhile I missed over 1/2 at work. Thursday night rolls around. I was doing ok - was in a little bit of pain - but I figured I'd take some advil and it would all be ok.
Then it hit. Pain like I have never had in my life. At least I don't think so. I probably have will all the other mouth trauma I have had in my life, but I forget which is a good thing or I would never step into a dentist's office again. Ever. I was sitting in the middle of my living room floor, rocking back and forth, tears streaming down my face, just praying that it would stop. The only good thing was that the pain came in waves. If it was constant I would have found some pliers and yanked the tooth myself.
Friday morning I was back in the dentist's chair. It still hurts, but not like it did. I go back in on the 23rd. I really don't want to. The pain seems to be at a tolerable level, though I can't chew anything on that side and every time I put a little bit of pressure on it... well... I guess that is enough of that.
Moving Woes...
sometimes life really sucks. My lease is up the end of this month. I have been frantically trying to figure out what I am going to do for the last three weeks. Turns out, I am moving in with my mother. Which isn't terrible, but it really isn't where I want to be right now. It will be temporary. And I will be able to save some money (which I need desperately for the other mouth surgery that I need to get) and saving money is always a good thing. But I hate to move back in after moving out. And not having my stuff, not having my space, not being able to just be me... It has been awhile since I lived with someone. I wasn't expecting to have to do it again so soon.
Pet Woes
Frankley has been really sick. She has lost over half her body weight in the last 3 months. We (Mom and I) finally took her to the vet to see what was wrong. Diabetes. Which really sucks. Now I have to decide. What am I going to do?
other Stuff...
In other news, I am incredibly busy at work. Which is really fun and exciting. But that means I will be really busy, and working over time, and having less time for everything else that I want to be doing...
Life I guess. And the retrograde is over! Why am I still feeling it?

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's Monday!
Someone at work decided to get me "Mr. Wonderful" It is pretty funny! Though in reality I don't think I would want a guy to be so subservient. But it is fun just to have the thing on my desk for when people come by. The looks on the guys faces is the best!
