Today was a good day. Ran errands, got stuff done. Went out and socialized at night, dinner, movie. Got home undressed and relaxed. A good day.
I'm really not seeing what the big hubub about driving was. I mean I can appreciate and enjoy the increased travel time efficiency of having one's own vehicular transport. Hell, I couldn't have attended the appointment in Gilroy without it. At the same time, it's the same things, at around the same times, with just a little bit of more conveniance. It is appreciable, but not grand.
I'm installing a car alarm today, and tomorrow. Car wiring is weird and complex, but not without rhyme or reason. Really it's all a matter of understanding electronics and having the appropriate diagrams. I had the most rediculous joy today when hooking up the brain and 1/3rd of the wires and playing with the remotes.
I made a good portion of my coworkers double take when I dropped in for my paycheck. I'm never there weekends. It was nice just dropping by and not having the omg+obligation running through my head. Not that it lacks in fun.
Dinner tonight was a birthday for a friend of a friend of a friend, who is now a friend. It's nice to know that there are people I('d) socialize with who are the same age if not older. It's frightening sometimes, the fact that the majority of my friends and people with whom I socialize are 2-7 years younger. It's not so much of an issue 10 years from now, but when the person you're looking at as a dating prospect can't even legally purchase alcohol... It's a unsettling thought.
Tonight's movie was FF4: Rise of the Silversurfer. It made up for the lackluster sequels I'd watched lately. Pirates was good, but didn't leave the same yummy taste as the first, and we won't even discuss Spiderman 3.
Since my normal movie organizing friend has dropped off the face of the planet once more, I've ended up rallying the last few moviegoing groups. Since I no longer work in the same department as those I typically bring along, it's not the same social event as it once was. It is nice to see the friendly faces that I enoyed spending time with, but there's not the same comraderie there once was. That split of the white and blue collars maybe, but probably no more than increased social distance.
I'm worrying about a friend of mine who recently injured herself. I need to visit. I'm sad that I'm not going to see my father this Father's Day. Perhaps I should drop by. I miss the one who's smile makes me glow a little brighter and who's hugs make me warm inside. I can't wait till Sunday.
I hate not having enough time, enough money, or enough energy to see everyone and do everything that I want to. C'est la vie.
I'm actually finding myself missing MsO. But that's a hell of a long drive... in many senses.
