Update of little consequence

Apr 05, 2005 10:12

I’m not real sure what I’m doing at work today. I mean I know what I’m supposed to be doing, but I’m not feeling well enough to accomplish any of it.

I realize I haven’t updated in forever - so let’s recap:

• Turned 30
• Went to Georgia Mountains
• Dogs had lovely time
• Husband got bit by spider - got infected, had to go to doctor, has been sick ever since
• Assumed his flu symptoms were spider related
• Currently have the flu (obviously not spider related)
• Caught husband in red and blue jammies scaling the exterior of the house

Somewhere in that time period I also got dragged to a honky tonk by my improv students. Can’t say I’d ever been to one before. Can’t say I ever want to go back. Turns out you can line dance to The Cure. I mean you can line dance to it. I did not, would not, cannot line dance to anything. My students are all barely 21 - they of course failed to see the travesty that was being committed on the dance floor. It just doesn’t seem fair; those people have their own music and their own radio stations and tv stations and monster truck rallies - why can’t they stay away from the songs of my youth?!?!?!

My friends know me quite well and gifted my 30th accordingly. I really didn’t expect anything (and if you knew my family you would know that’s not some form of false modesty), and every gift I received qualified within my two favorite things: readable and edible. So now I have a great stack of books to read and an extra pound or two from some really great cookies. Parents stood me up for a visit this weekend - expect gifts sometime before we set the clocks back.

Looking back of my weekend, I can probably figure out why I’m not feeling so well. Didn’t get much sleep. Had a really great time on Sunday - went to see the handsome, talented and funny Abridged Boys take Largo by force and realized that those shows never cease to make me laugh like a complete idiot. I embrace and accept my groupie-ness.

If I have learned one thing in the course of the last few weeks, it’s that I take nothing for granted. Things that used to hurt - just don’t anymore. And sometimes the things you always thought would be stable aren’t. And if you wander around in the dark needing something bad enough - it will appear.
