Well TODAY sure as hell feels like the first day of summer.
It's amazing what getting out of the house for a while can do for your mood. I woke up feeling restless and stressed, and stayed that way until I finally got off my butt with plans to hit the library and the gym, and probably laze around in the sun for a while in between.
I accomplished all of these things. I got Frankenstein at the library, because I've been wanting to read that for AGES and I could use a good fiction classic right about now, and because I watched the Highlander episode The Modern Prometheus yesterday while in my sick-must-watch-movies zone. While I was there, Zac called me on his break at work. I like it when he does that. Once I had my book I went down to the lawn south of the Hawthorne Bridge, people-watched at the Rose Festival and read some Frankenstein, got smiled at by some cute boys - always good for an ego boost - and generally enjoyed soaking in the sunshine.
Hungry before the gym, I went over to the nearest Subway, and realized it was one I hadn't applied at yet. Better yet, the guy who was there knew me - oddly enough, as Ron's daughter from the zoo. Weirdly enough. Apparently we worked together waaaaaaaay back in the day? Like, when I was 15? I don't really remember him, but he seems to remember me. And... thinks I'm hot. Seriously, he KEPT COMING OVER while I was filling out my app, going on about how he needed to get back to the zoo and see the new exhibits n such. And talking himself up about how he's gonna like, work on the space station or whatever. I'm like, yeah, you're working at Subway dude. Not that I'm one to talk. But anyway, I filled out an application and he said he'd put in a good word for me, cos "we go way back". Probably meaning "you got back", because I seriously do not remember him, not his face, not his name, nothing. I am not above letting my pretty face get me a better chance at a job. I probably should be, for a variety of reasons, but times are hard and I need income like BAD.
So now I'ma do laundry and maybe put on a movie I haven't seen in a while. Or maybe read my new book.
BUT FIRST. I decide whether or not I have the energy and desire to walk up to the swan mart and get ice cream. Because hot damn, ice cream would be good right now.
