(no subject)
Couldnt go to work today. The only reason I stayed the full day yesterday was because of all the commotion in the office and because they needed me. I came home and crashed, was in and out of tears the whole night until finally falling asleep early with a headache that was either a migrane or extreme dehydration.
Got up around 10.30, talked to my mom on the phone (who is taking it much worse than I am if you can imagine) and knit and watched fruits basket for a while. I had to get out of the house because it felt stifling and I needed a change of scenery and something to do so I wasnt holed up halfway between tears and apathy, so I woke Kris and we went to Ruby Tuesdays for food and Pomegranite Lemonade (which was actually really good). Then we went to Best Buy, which could either be considered a really good idea or really bad idea because we both dropped a lot of money on video games... Well, one big game each. I got Dance Dance Revolution and he got Guitar Hero. It was $80, but i figure its one of the only ways that I will actually work out on a regular basis and its cheaper than a gym membership. Then we went to talk to the comic book guy, and I broke and bought the first fruits basket. They are $10 a pop so i need to budget myself, but I can read one in an afternoon and there are more than 20 out I think. Then got one of the fruit tarts I'm addicted to from Whole Foods and a frozen coffee. I spent a lot of money today, but the biggest thing is something I've been eyeing for a while and that I will use. And hey, I shouldnt feel too guilty about a little retail therapy now and then. Especially after something like this.
And I needed something to get me outside and take my mind off it.
I knew getting the wonderful house had to bo followed by something terrible. But at least we have the house and my mom has a spare bedroom set, so I can take the money I was going to spend on a craigslist bedroom set and put it into a nice mattress.
I miss her. Its amazing how I didnt mind not seeing her for months while in DC or Moscow, but whenever I talked to my mom I always asked how she was and told her to give the girl a kiss for me. And I didnt even get to say goodbye. Hopefully I won't make an ass of myself in work tomorrow.
