The State of Kate

Jan 24, 2007 16:16

All of my anxiety last week resulted in my losing one pound. But then as I began to feel better, I started hitting the Frosted Mini-Wheats hard and promptly gained it back. Go team Kate ( Read more... )

I emailed him yesterday to see if he'd have lunch with me, but he was too busy.
Is that what that email was about? I thought you were just asking how busy my day would be.

I guess I could have had lunch with you (though don't forget, you should email me before noon, since I tend to lunch early), but I didn't know that's what you were asking. My best day for lunching with you is Monday, and Tuesday usually works, too. W-F are pretty bad.
Later that night, as I was trying to fall asleep, I heard him open and eat a jar of cherries, and my heart sank.
What? I ate like 1/4 of a jar (i.e. 1/4 of 1/12 of 1 cup of brandy = 1/3 of a tablespoon of brandy), and that was a jar that was already open. Why did your heart sink? I mostly ate them because they sounded tasty ( ... )

I think you took this the wrong way. At least, the brandied cherries part. You just seemed so sad and it made me sad. And then you went and ate your cherries by yourself. It was sad. Did you think I thought you were getting drunk? Lordy no!

I guess I did think you were sad because I was driven to alcohol. I mean, if I had eaten a whole jar, that'd be 4/3 tablespoons of brandy!

Nobody likes my damn cherries. What's up with that?

squeakywheel January 25 2007, 06:13:02 UTC

That's not true. I like them, and I think Sam likes them and Ruth was very excited about them.

Sheesh, I don't think you're an alcoholic! I never should've told you what my therapist said. She thinks anyone who gets drunk is an alcoholic.

About all I know to say is *Hug*.

squeakywheel January 25 2007, 05:53:01 UTC

Thanks. I think that's the best thing to say since I'm being so publicly private, if THAT makes any sense.

i am almost tempted to come up to berkeley myself, take you out for coffee, and make you tell me what's going on. seriously, i am worried about what's going with you, and i do hope things are well. *hug*

squeakywheel January 25 2007, 05:53:57 UTC

You're the best. Really. I don't think there'll be any need for a road trip, though, but if you are up here, I'd love to grab that coffee with you.

my sister lives in San Francisco and honestly, my husband and I looks for any excuse possible to visit our alma mater. i like the library...he likes Soda Hall(why?!), so it's not a problem. and besides, you are totally worth it!

squeakywheel January 25 2007, 20:06:55 UTC

The UC Berkeley library? I have never been in there; actually I haven't spent much time on that campus period. I haven't been in Soda Hall and that's where Leon spends a lot of his time.

I didn't know your sis was in SF, but the next time you're up, let's meet on Telegraph or something. That would be super fun. :)

I hope you can write about whatever is hurting you soon. I think it will help you out just a little. *hugs* I hope everything is okay and will continue to get better.

squeakywheel January 25 2007, 05:54:42 UTC

Thanks. I feel better now than I did earlier. My mood keeps fluctuating quite a lot--I should make another chart...ha ha. ;)

Girl, you are so guilt-ridden!! Don't feel bad - this journal is for YOU, not the people who read it, so stop it!

:)

I hear you on the resolution - I cannot stand angst, and I just want everything to resolve and be ok. So I understand. I hope resolution is just around the corner...

squeakywheel January 25 2007, 21:23:31 UTC

Well, I sort of believe that this journal is for the people who read it and not so much for me. I mean, I like the support that I get from you guys and I like being able to say these things (and know that other people are reading them), but I do believe that if a website's not going to be entertaining/educational/interesting, there's no point in putting it on the internet.

Yeah, I'm one of THOSE. Who'd have thought, what with the crap I put on here? :P

princerudy January 25 2007, 21:39:15 UTC

Well, I DO enjoy reading your posts, and I appreciate the thought you put into them, but I still disagree that you should feel guilty. I mean, are we paying you for the things you type? Nope - they're your thoughts, and you have the right to let them be what they are! Takem em or leave em, people! :)

squeakywheel January 26 2007, 00:33:48 UTC

Well, if you want to pay me... ;)
