June the 3rd.
List of interesting things that happened yesterday:
1. 10:00am. Working at home, and two elderly Japanese men ring the doorbell. They are convinced that their friend lives here, and more convincing is needed to assure them that there is no elderly Japanese man hiding in my apartment. I refer them to the front office. They thank me, and I surprise the sushi out of them by saying "you're welcome" in Japanese. ( Doitashimashite)
2. Around noon. I am driving back from store, and I change lanes to avoid an accident scene. Motorcycle vs. car, and although the car is now in two pieces, the motorcycle has lost. The rider is sprawled in the median. First Responder pulled up just as I pulled away. Am keeping fingers crossed he's in better shape that the twisted metal that was his bike.
3. 2:00ish. While trying to figure out how to pay June's bills, a flier is slipped under the door. I discover that my apartment complex is having a Craft Sale on Sunday the 14th. Have decided to craft up a small inventory and see if they sell. Please keep fingers crossed.
4. 4:00pm. Dressed in my best suit, I arrive in a clinic in Mount Prospect for a receptionist interview. I find the place locked up & deserted. After a couple of phone calls, I finally get ahold of the doctor who realizes he'd completely forgotten about our appointment, and didn't want to reschedule at this time. Thanks for caring, doc. Really professional of you.
5. 5:30pm. Matt arrives home. Crappy day at work. The only funny that happened is that his co-worker asked Matt if he was gay, and was surprised to hear that he wasn't. When Matt relayed this to another co-worker, he was surprised to learn that she was gay. Does anyone really know anyone?
6. 9:00pm. We finish watching a DVD, and Matt puts on his coat, saying he was going to return it & get the next in the series. I throw a horrified fit because he's putting his coat over his pajamas and houseslippers. "No boyfriend of MINE is going to be running around in public wearing PAJAMAS like those idiotic teenage girls who think its STYLISH and its really just TACKY!" or somethign to that mortified effect. He lets me go on for about ten minutes before finally telling me that it was a joke. And, a very good one. I can't remember the last time we both laughed that hard. Tears were shed. I'm surprised neighbors didn't complain.
An interesting day.
