the hardest decisions have had to make today were:
1) what color to have my toenails painted (aquamarine beat pale pink and violet)
2) which pair of shoes to buy (whiskey brown leather sandals beat turquoise patent peep toe flats and metallic gold cut-out wedges)
3) what speed to set the treadmill at (super lazy slow beat every other speed just like it always does)

Today it is only 99 degrees here. Only. Ha.
Just back from walking across the road to the bakery for a loaf of bread. The woman working there cut me off a slice to munch on as I sweat and slid back home sockless in my ballet flats and toting the brown paper bag concealing my purchase.
There is beef marinating and garlic roasting and bedding washing all evidence of my inspired domesticity.
In three more days we are leaving for a little getaway back to the place where my love and I first met and then to my every-other-yearly extended family reunion.
The smell of the garlic roasting is making me hungry.
Going to try and scrounge up something to eat other than the last cup of Mexican vanilla pudding which technically is for the other person who lives here.
Bye.

airplanes are buzzing overhead taking people in and out of the texas heat and someone downstairs keeps beep beep beeping their car alarm set beeper.
earlier today my stomach was knotted and felt like rejecting its contents but instead of puking i took a couple of swigs out of a bottle of mylanta and sat up in bed willing it to be better.
it seems to be now. better.
right now the man i love is asleep in the next room. can hear his breathing in and out and also the smaller, shorter in and outs of the cat next to my hip.
want to wake one or both of them up because i feel lonely but maybe i can try to not be so selfish all of the time.
i feel small and sad for no good reason and wonder what there is to take a couple of swigs of while willing it to be better.

cancelled from work today. which means can use my last bit of paid time off an no one can bitch.
having a cup of coffee and listening to the quiet.
feels like my soul has been snatched back from the abyss.
melodramatic, i know, but true.
gonna stay awake and make some things happen. or just take it easy. or a little of both.
have a nice day.
i plan to.

Today at work some of my co-workers had for me a "going away" brunch.
Only my day was sucking so big that I couldn't get away to go and instead was eating a slightly stale muffin and room temp cheese cubes in the break room by myself well past a reasonable lunch time.
Pretty much a fitting end to the story.

the feline residents in our house think everything we bring home is a new cat toy. right now the two bigger ones are chasing each other around some cardboard boxes filled with wine.
tomorrow i have to go to work and it is making me want to gag. ew.
not making me want to gag is the slightly greasy man who is cooking out my dinner. i actually like him quite a lot and he hardly ever makes me want to gag.
hardly ever.
ha.
i should go and do something useful besides sit here and stare into the internets. like maybe drink some wine or turn on some music.
bye bye.

Hi summertime.
Lately have been exceedingly difficult to live with. As of this morning am officially in bad attitude rehabilitation.
For real.
There is a fresh peach cake in the oven, folk music on the radio, and the beginnings of a two week written notice to my job that I hate on the desk.
(My official end date will be the 26th. Then a little vacation. New dialysis nurse job starts on July the 7th.)
As soon as the cake is finished baking heading to the pool to test out my new tropical scent sunscreen and drink a quart or so of iced tea.
If you decide to come along please bring a couple of trashy magazines and a bowl of salty snack mix.
