So, it was a weirdly serendipitous week, and last night was just... weird, kinda in a bad way.
Like, I was SO cold Friday night I couldn't sleep, so I didn't get to see Matt's family Saturday during the day cause I HAD to get some sleep. Matt went, and it was a disaster. I would have been pissed, which would have been exasperated by PMS, so it was VERY good that I didn't go. I like his family, and I don't want them to hate me.
I was trying to get in touch with a friend Lori, whom I'd bought massage stuffs from, so I could pay her and get my goods. We kept just missing each other, but managed to connect at JUST the last minute and we saw her right before we left.
Monday at work Dr. Barb brought in some crap that she didn't want anymore. There was a tea kettle in the box, and Matt and I have been wanting one for a while. There were also free belts (I think from a dog's owner), and one just fit me well. I need one for my now loose pants, so it's mine now. AND I got a huge cardboard tube for my ratties, from the drape material.
*Edit: Oh, yeah, the other weird serendipitous thing was running into one of Matt's old co-workers from Caribou at work. He brought in a cat he'd found in the road, sadle hit by a car and no longer alive. He was chatting with his friend about a game, and after his friend asked for an app we were talkign about working weird hours. He said something about opening a Caribou at like 5:30am, and I was like, oh, my husband worked at the one in the mall. He looked at me ofr a moment, then was like, "You're Matt's wife. I'm Ray!" I laughed and said that I was indeed. We talked a little more, then he said they were planning D&D that night. I ended up telling them that Matt and I are up for the occasional game, and gave Ray our numbers. We'll see if he calls. But that was totally random and weird.
Last night.... my GOD. I dunno if it was a full moon or what, but it was a ROUGH night. All kinds of people with emergencies and no money, culminating in a hit-by-car that ended up ditching the bill and leaving the dog for euth. *sigh* Badness.
And now, here I am at home. I was already feeling a little depressed, really for no reason. I just skimmed my friends list, and it seems the sentiment was catching. I'm just a little sad, I feel a little lonely and a bit left out. :P But I'm sure it's just a combo of the overall feelings that everyone's tapped into, and the crack-night I just survived. I'll live.
I'm still at 162 pounds, so even with all my bad eating over graduation weekend, I didn't screw anything up too badly. I got new clothes at Kohl's for Albie's grad, and it looks like I'm a size 10 now - I started at a size 16. :P I'm a 32 in men's. Good times.
My time off is already spoken for, but that's ok. Wed I'm spending the day with Albie, and buying Chinese dinner as his grad gift ;) I also need to do things like cleaning and finances, and iron out my Serenity "episode" even MORE. Thurs is Serenity, with ME running! *is scared* Friday we're having a whole-family dinner, with Mom and Moe, Dad and Eva, Matt and me and Albie. Mom's making lamb. Yum! Then I work Sat-Tues, though not with Dr. Barb. She's on vacation. So Sat and Sun it's Dr. Vikki and Mon and Tues is Dr. Lou. I'm excited. :D Then Wed, the 24th... BELLY DANCE!!!
Wow... this got longer than I was expecting. o_O I'll quit babbling now. I miss you guys, tons and tons. Keep calling me and e-mailing me, and I'll do my damnedest to get back to you. I know I owe a bunch of you calls and e-mails now. I'm going to get on that. :P Keep in touch. *hugs* Later.
