saturday morning, J called me... "whatcha doin' today? did you want to come down?" i told him i would love to, but was worried about the snow. a little later, i poutingly checked weather.com and found that they were calling for 5-8" on LI. i said well hell, the weather channel website has to be at least close to accurate, and that's not so bad. so i called J back and said yes, i would still like to come down.
met him and the little guy in the city. the latter seems to be taking well to me; held my hand at different points of the day not only willingly, but insistantly on occasion. he kept checking to make sure i was close by when we were walking through Central Park (i had to pee like mad, i sure as hell wasn't doing to try to run to keep up lol), and i put together his happy meal toy for him. we left the city just as the first flakes were falling.
and, needless to say, weather.com LIES. but that's ok... i liked where i was snowed in.
didn't do much but bum around and interact with the little guy, including geeking out way too much for a three-year-old's liking or comprehension with his wildlife sticker book, which was also much to his father's chagrin when i would say things like "oh cool, look, a giraffe weevil!" J hates bugs. it's almost cute.
i watched TV while J brought the little guy back home and that's when i found out about both Cheney (lol the moron) and the plane crash in Cali (Twinnie, i tried to call you then). also got to watch an ep of PPG (yay!)
and J, the silly man, wanted to drive me all the way home on sunday, but i told him absolutely not. he did drive me to GCT, though, and stayed with me until shortly before my train left.
i've been so tired all week. i didn't get to bed until late on sunday. i went to my parents' house both monday and tuesday nights to watch the dog show (until 11). i fell asleep not to long into it on tuesday and decided to go home early because i couldn't stay awake... and once i got home i couldn't fall asleep. Valentine's Day *SUCKED* btw... stuff with my parents was ok, but... well, you know... LI is far away. got a phonecall out of him, but that was only because i made sure he was well aware that i'd like to talk on the phone since we couldn't be together.
i'll be honest, i was mopey/bitter all day, and in a large part it was because my co-workers wouldn't leave me alone (i knew i wasn't gonna get flowers at work, he's not that type, but they kept saying "oh, you never know"... no, really, i know, shut up about it. plus i'm never gonna live down getting flowers from two different guys last year lol). i feel bad about the moping now, because i coulda enjoyed the time at my parents' better. we made dinner together and my mom gave me an assortment of Hershey's Kisses and a Pocket Dragon. i was also a bit disappointed because i thought mom and i were gonna watch the dog show together, but at 7:45 i found out that she planned to tape the dog show and watch a bunch of other shows that were on at the same time. i ended up watching the dog show in the living room by myself and, like i said, fell asleep. meh.
i got to have a good scrap with my chickendog before i left, even though i wasn't in the mood lol. we had fun, though. he's been scrapping a lot more lately. i'm glad to see him feeling better.
i'm 3/4 of the way through GoF. i really have to say, i like the movie version better. i coulda done without all the house elf crap. also halfway through "The Last Unicorn" thanks to two train rides lol. J asked me to come down again this weekend, so i'll have a chance to finish it. as for GoF, i'll be working on that tonight.
i hope my tax money gets deposited soon. i was hoping i'd have it in time for this weekend, but it doesn't look like it. i'm gonna have to borrow from my checking in the meantime. if i can, i'd like to hit The Container Store while i'm in the city.
work has been interesting. they've announced all the changes they're going to make (luckily, our department wasn't hit with anything except that bosslady has been given more to do in other departments, which is not a bad thing at all), and since then the tension has gone down a lot, and so the animosity. i was nicely caught up for a while but got backed up again all at once between 14-chart days and charts getting completed in fell swoops, but i'm making headway there. people can deal.
