Happy Bastille Day. I actually got decent sleep, but because of sleep dep I need more. So at work I was a walking zombie mumbling about bumping into walls. After work, lotusblossom and I went to Souplantation and pigged out on salads and stuff. I crawled into bed afterwards and went to sleep at a normal hour.
The lack of sleep is totally bogging me down. I just didn’t have the energy to go out, but I couldn’t fall asleep. After a trip to the store to get some water and fruit, I made some ravioli for dinner, chit-chatted with Roomie for a while and clicked on shiny things on the interweb. I totally forgot to wash my comforter that has some kitty puke on it. Oops. 11pm comes around, I get ready for bed then BOOM! I fall asleep! YAY!!!!!!!!!
Another day of not being able to sleep. It’s nowhere near as bad as when snogmonkey was working for me last year. But I’m starting to get a little loopy from all of this. Oh and the first episode of Project Runway Season 3 was fabulous!
At work I closed June’s books with relative ease. I guess that’s one of the good things in being slow. Yes it’s still slow here, and I’m going out of my mind.
I finally finished off the first season of Ab Fab, and downloaded all three parts of the Grammar School Mix on Music for Robots. I call it thinking man’s disco. Or something. That site is where I got most of the music for my ubergay mix I made before heading up to SF.
I made some wild caught orange roughy last night. It’s my first time cooking fish ever. One of the down sides is that it smells pretty bad. I stunk up the kitchen. Anyhow that and watching Kathy Griffin sealed off my night. Still having trouble sleeping.
After work and a long nap while watching Ab Fab, I went to Michael’s to buy a 12×16 frame for this painting I did on canvas board a couple of years back. Looking at it makes me want to paint again, even though it was quite shitty. Talked to Madd and Norman on the phone. Norman’s now up in San Francisco being a drummer in a band. They’re on the way to Vegas to play at some sex club over there. Color me jealous.
I had to stop off at the mom’s to fix her cell phone woes. Afterwards I took Irma to lunch at Hermosa Beach to make up for missing her bday Saturday night. When I got home, I just cleaned and did laundry.
I woke up early to take my car to the dealer. It needed some major servicing: tune up, radiator flush, tranmission flush, etc. Roomie followed me, and we went up to the Verdugo hills for a little hike. lotusblossom talked me into going shopping whereupon depression set. I realize I need extra income just so I can buy things I like. Sad. She dropped me back off at the dealership where they had me waiting 45 minutes to look for my car key. Yes. They fucking lost my car key. Once that was done met her @ In-N-Out, went to Whole Foods and came home to watch the fireworks show at the Lotus Festival.
The golden words: pay day!!! After work, I finally made my way to the Korean market which I haven’t gone to in months. I got my stock of kimchi, cucumber kimchi, pickled seaweed, red chili paste, dried anchovies and other assorted goodies. After dinner, Roomie and I had an argument over the merits of Abba. She contends that she hates them. So being the spiteful person I am, I decided to play them really loud. How is it that this bitch knows every word to every song? And how is it that she was jumping with glee when each song came on?
It was my first day back at work since my vacation. Boy was it hard to wake up. Actually it was very hard to do any work at all. But I made it through and survived. I made a yummy peanut thai noodle thingee with chicken and veggies last night. Delish!
Back from San Francisco. Much to write about, much to talk about. But it’s great coming back to weather that is tolerable. I mean, Saturday it barely reached 60 degrees up there. Quelle horrible!
