t-shirt sticking to back: baby, it's hot outside.
i got another itch to write, so here i am.
home for another afternoon from work. seriously i thought i would make it through the whole day today, but alas, no such luck. i came home and fell asleep for about two hours, which is a marathon if you know me and my inability to sleep during the day and miss everything that goes on outside.
so, i guess i have a bug, the crud, scraps of the flu that my coworkers have tossed around the office for the past month. i never get sick in the summer, which is why this is so strange. it's warm, it's bright out, so why would i want to spend days on end laying in bed and /or in front of the television? it isn't fun, actually, and though i need to sleep this off, i also get bored when i'm not in the office and surrounded by my quirky, lovable coworkers.
jessi, who is 22 and regularly my saving grace at the office, acted like a puppy who tries to cheer up its owner this morning. she was wound up, maybe partly because i was dragging and not responding too well to our usual round of jokes and napoleon dynamite quote games. she was so cute, writing me post its and messages saying "get better soon!" and "it sucks when you are sad." it's nice to matter to people.
also, another small delight of the day: in my afternoon groggy mind, post-nap, i logged onto facebook to find my friend mary had just updated. her interests, along with art, music, and coffee, now include me. now, that's quite good company to keep. and also makes me feel attached, and meaningful to someone with whom i struck an immediate bond and maintain a friendship even without constant interaction. i probably have facebook to thank for part of that, as sad as it is.
i have a craving for:
a good book
a handful of pine nuts
a sidesplittingly hilarious movie
some good writing (done by me)...maybe on my american studies blog
getting out of this house, this bedroom.
i just bought the new andrew bird and the new stars on itunes. they are both so wonderful i wish i could listen to them on repeat all day. actually maybe i could.
my dad is outside my window watering the lawn. he's whistling to some birds that he thinks can hear him. what a family.
jake: i've come to realize, now more than ever, and as much as i try to escape...that casper has always been the solid ground i need. come back for a fix.
