60F - 36F : Sunny
I went to bed around 1am last night, and don't really remember what I did between 11 and midnight, although I tried to sleep 11:30 and got back up at 12:30 just to go back down at 1. The dog did not join me in bed, so I assume he didn't figure it out this time. I don't know what the secret is to keeping the dog off the bed, but I'm glad it worked last night. I woke up around 2.
I don't know what I did all day. I remember telling Victor and Alex that I had a date, but that doesn't seem like it should take all day. I did check on Zelensky, and try unsuccessfully to get Rogue to take a pill (she ate it later when I hid it in her dinner). I feel like maybe I read LJ and DW, but I'm not sure about that. Literally I have no memories of the time between waking up at 2 and leaving for my date at 4:45.
Anyway, at 4:45 I left for my date. He sent me a text message at 4:50 saying he was there, and should he get a table. He got a table, but then met me at the door on his way out at 5:01. I was like "am I late?" but he said no, he just wanted to make sure he was at the right place, or something like that. Anyway, we got situated, and started talking, and kept talking until we finished dinner. When we were finished, the manager came over with a plate of garlic fries and said they were to welcome Michael as it was his first time at this restaurant. Personally, I would have brought over the appetizer before dinner, but okay.
I got home in time to feed Rogue and log on for film club. I texted Marilyn so she would have my phone number since she moved down to Hilton Head. Fortunately, we talked about the video I had actually seen first, so I was able to participate in that discussion. Then, when they started talking about euthanasia and assisted suicide (which is why I didn't watch the second film) I left. I was there for about 45 minutes of it. But I pretty much didn't do anything for the next 15 minutes except sit here and think that I should do things.
Valerie started a write in at 8. I joined and wrote for the first sprint, then exercised through the second sprint. I wrote through the third sprint, and then spent 10 minutes cleaning my house through the 4th sprint. That was actually about 2 hours worth of sprints, because Wyatt puts them much more spread out than I usually do. I had about 10 minutes until 10pm, so I spent it talking to Sarah and Kali. Then I started writing here.
I was happy coming off my date, but now I am sad again, I'm not sure why I am sad. I was thinking about Kevin during one of my writing exercises, and maybe that's the cause. Do you think thinking of him will ever make me happy again? His birthday is coming up next weekend, so there is some anxiety about that. Also I'll be in Hilton Head with Tabby, and not home where I can reach my parents or Donna if I get too sad. This may not have been the best plan I ever came up with.
I keep getting dizzy and unable to think straight. I thought I had found the culprit with the med I stopped taking, but it has come back. I am, of course, sure I have brain cancer, especially combined with the mood changes, migraines, and memory loss episodes. The doctor said someone would call me about getting scheduled to see someone about the migraines, so I can mention all of the head symptoms then, but of course that requires someone to actually call me, and it has been about a week now.
Tabby asked me to ask the hotel if we could borrow a crib. They sent me to an outside company that wanted me to rent it for $20 a day! Excuse you? No I will not be spending over $100 to rent a crib. We can buy a portable one for that price, and bring it with us. In fact, Tabby has a friend who can lend her a portable one. So I don't know how we're fitting all of this stuff in my car, but that's a problem for future me. At least I actually have a trunk now, unlike the prius. Maybe I can pack in a smaller bag or a smaller series of bags than I usually do.
I'm very sad again now, and I don't even know why.
