Random weekend update because it helps me to know my life is not all work and no "play":
Finally grew some balls and took a 'sabbatical' from my painting class thereby lengthening my weekend by a magical 3 hours which is somehow making all the difference. The termites and all just broke me. I needed a break.
My body has been deciding, however, that it only wants to sleep 7 hours no matter what so, since we passed out early on Friday, I woke up at 5:30am on Saturday and made B watch Where the Wild Things Are with me in bed since it has long been my fantasy to lie in bed before dawn watching tv since that is what I see everywhere when I am driving to work at 6am and I envy those people so much.
He was a very good sport about it. Then we got up together and made coffee and did yard work and projects together. It was CRAZY hot and awesome. We now have a giant hinged top compost box and 2 huge raised garden beds.
Went to a sort of barbeque and I ended up talking to this old rich white lawyer guy and his 2nd life partner lady and it was actually really fun. B was like, 'wow, you were a real trooper!' and I was like, 'NO! I actually really LOVE them." We sat around a fire and drank beer and ate pizza and set our prejudices aside and they told me about sailing in a storm off Greece and many other more touching things and I talked to them about what is wrong with public education. It was like college only I didn't have to sleep with either of them.
Sunday more of the amazing same. Plus we went to the Sunset district early early to go to a beer making supply store but they were closed so we walked around in the hot hot sun and got coffee and then bagels and canoodled. But then I had to go into work and came home to B and his buddy Andrew bottling beer and they were gracious and indulged my craving to make a beer-cavity chicken on the grill. It turned out less than perfect (charred!) but it satisfied well enough.
One FUUULLLLLL week of school then some 2 days next week then a 5 day break thank god for thank godsgiving. I need a break like whoa. I'm starting to feel the weight of all that is to come and all that they do not know and I feel myself becoming a hateful bitch and I need to remember how to put on a happy face and ask them what they ate for dinner and compliment their shoes so that they love me and want to learn more math.
