That seems to be my running social schedule lately! Tonight is free and I insist on keeping it free... b/c I need to REST UP for Tuesday night, Weds. night, Thursday night, and then the damn weekend is here already. I have been contemplating the psychology of this lately and I will totally concede that I am trying to run myself ragged so that when rare down time FINALLY comes, I can collapse, exhausted and spent and will not have the energy to think about deep, serious stuff. All this activity also distracts me from eating. I have lost even another couple pounds lately and am excited about the prospect of actually being able to fit nicely into my leather pants this fall!
Friday was interesting; Marvin called me up and invited me to lunch and I can't believe I agreed to meet him, but I did. I met him at the La Mad. near Job #1 and I have to admit it was cool to catch up with him. I made sure to tell him I was hungover b/c my drinking always did offend him and horrify him. Heh heh.
Friday evening I could only manage to work 1 hr. at Job #2 or else I was going to faint from exhaustion. J. was still at my house when I got home and she had painted the downstairs bath and it looks KICK ASS! She even gave it an accent wall and it is soooo pimp now. She got matching fixtures and everything. She's genius, I tell you, genius! We sat around for a bit and when she left I lay on the couch and passed out cold. SC was playing with A. but as I keep telling everyone, I refuse to travel outside the beltway for entertainment now so that was not really an option for me--plus I needed to Get Some Rest. SC woke me up anyway later that night w/a text asking me how I was. Then he sent me a picture of him with A.
Saturday I managed to sleep in a little (SC woke me with another text though) and then it was time to hustle to go on patrol. I rode with a cute young deputy I have worked with before and as usual, the turds knew I was out so they stayed in. The deputy bought me a salad and I managed to eat some of it, but I was kinda bummed b/c my Taser was unsatisfied and bloodthirsty. I got off early so I could rush home and get ready to go to the Big Easy with my little ex-drummer cop buddy, M., who I haven't seen in years. The place was packed and the drinks were flowing. I saw a couple other friends of ours and met M.'s girlfriend. We had fun! We took turns dancing with M. who was getting drunker and drunker. After we shut the place down we met one of his cop buddies at the taqueria and I was actually hungry. M. was so drunk he threw up a little at the table, hardy har har!
Sunday I tried to sleep in but 1. I'm not sleeping very well these days generally speaking and 2. I had hurt my big toe last week and it was absolutely throbbing in pain and would not let me sleep. Then SC sent another text around 9:30am which normally would've been a big no-no, but I was up anyway. He had left on Sat. afternoon to drop off his traveling buddy in Ohio and Sat. night they got as far as Little Rock. Now Sunday they planned to be in Ohio that night, and SC would make it home to Baltimore Monday (today). Cool road trip! Later SC called me so we could talk while he was road-trippin' it. I was doing my own version here, having forgotten to drop off the handheld radio after my patrol shift on Sat. and I had to drive ALLLLLLL the way back to the damn station to drop it off. Fortunately it was a beautiful, sunny, cool day for a long drive and a chat with a cute keyboard player!
When I got back to civilization J. was at my house hard at work painting the rest of the downstairs (save the kitchen and dining room) and I brought her lunch. Also I spoke briefly with Little Drummer Boy b/c I was trying to verify a rumor I'd heard at the Big Easy about a mutual friend of ours, a female bass player who they said is strung out on drugs these days. I couldn't believe LDB called me back b/c I thought he hated me, but he seemed civil enough. I still felt bad/guilty talking to him, and damn him, his voice is so sexy and he's so cute and there's nothing I can do about it. But perhaps the good karma I've been trying to send into the world lately was getting me some sent back since he was nice enough to call me back. And I really want to go see his band play tomorrow night too, so that's the plan. After that I tried to take a nap and unbelievably, succeeded in taking a short one.
I made evening plans to go see Where The Wild Things Are with Li'l bro and his friend but before I met them I ran by the Blockbuster to pick up a movie SC had told me about, Elizabethtown (since he'd been in Kentucky when we spoke earlier). WTWTA left us all a little stunned; we are still ruminating over it today and that's all I have to say on the subject. I watched Elizabethtown before bedtime and enjoyed it, especially thanks to Orlando Bloom! This morning SC sent me a text saying he was driving through the Pennsylvania mountains and wished I was there. Aww.
Now today I am fighting with S. who has managed to grow enough balls and nerve to try and come out of the woodwork today with a pissy email that he copied his Mommy on! Aaaaarrghhh, I feel actual HATRED for him! Is it bad karma to let someone piss you off and think horrible thoughts about them? Since I drank on Saturday I didn't drink at all yesterday, but tonight I'll be back on the box wine. And maybe even a cupcake.
