On way back from Yankees game in subway, listened to a woman say, "I don't want to be 27 and not even engaged." Her dude said she should worry about it later, like when she's 25. I butt in to this conversation, tell her I am twenty-five, single, and will be happy if I'm married by the time I'm fifty. Dude (who is apparently in med school) is terribly impressed by this and says "go you." I don't really believe in first impressions, but it sounds like they might not be well suited for each other.
Seriously, listening to women talk about the cut of the diamond rings the want is always a little weird for me because I start thinking about the horrors of De Beers and BLOOD and all that other stuff. I will go on record here and say I will not accept a diamond made in South Africa. (I would, however, wear marcasite, or any diamond grown in a lab, or diamonds made by space aliens).
Also got sick this week. Pretty minor cold, but it gives lots of fatigue. Now my sweet tooth's been acting up a lot recently and luckily I've had enough inertia to not go to the Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts that's two blocks away from me, right next to the subway stop. Motivating self to get on bike is funny: you can't play your video games unless you get on bike, silly Eileen. So I biked for 45 min (stopped 15 minutes early due to dehydration), and it turns out my grandma is stationary biking too which is great because it's very low-risk in terms of falls. Someday I'll be the crazy old lady on the bike, then!
Going home this weekend. Home is for video games, reading, and sleeping. Zzz.
