Yesterday! etc.
Oh, fine. I guess I won't hide! ;)
So yesterday Rich and I met up with Nick, who's back from Japan for a few days (and Nick, if you're reading this, obviously I had no idea before you said so yesterday evening! haha Not that I've ever written anything bad :p but it *is* kinda weird to think that lots of people I know *could* be reading this but just never comment. Gah). I must admit it was strange pulling up to his house again, since I don't think I've actually driven there since. . .the summer of 2001? In any case, it's been a long time. Yikes. We were met by Nick and his Mom, who I also hadn't seen in years, and who promptly remarked how skinny I am. The way people sometimes comment on this, you'd think I was 90 lbs or something. ;p
We headed to the Mews for dinner and some drinks. I had chili with all the fixins and Sea Dog Blueberry Ale (or whatev). Still don't know if it's that or the Long Trail Blackberry Wheat Ale that I've had before. . .oh well, this one was very good. We were there for a little while, talking about this and that. I've still gotta say that, after the story of what happened to that guy in MA, I'm really surprised I haven't been taken away yet. If I ever stop writing in this thing suddenly, at least you'll know what happened, haha.
After we ate, we drove to Rich's apartment where we hung out for a little while and the guys talked about some computer science and math classes they had both taken. I kinda zoned out during all that, but it's okay. ;)
Starbucks was our next destination, mostly thanks to the Free Drink coupons Nick gave us. He used to work at the Sbucks in EG and managed to swipe a bunch of these before he left-- good for any type, any size drink! The guys used theirs, but I decided to keep mine for another time (actually, I don't think I'm going to Starbucks this week O_O, mostly cuz I NEED to go to Whole Foods and I probably won't have time to do both). Besides, how fishy would it look if all three of us used them? haha
After talking about more cheery topics such as impending natural disasters that are bound to destroy a good part of the country, we actually went to Hell*Mart cuz there was some computer thing there that they both wanted. I'm a little surprised at how non-averse Nick is to shopping there since he also did time there during high school (and after we talked about its awfulness during dinner) but alas.
It was around 9:30 when we left, so we brought Nick back to his house. I have to admit I was a little sad about saying goodbye this time because, even if he *does* come back next year or so, I have no idea where I'll be, who I'll be with, or what I'll be doing. Well, hopefully we'll stay in touch and who knows, maybe someday I *will* have enough spare $$ (for plane tickets and all the drugs I'd need to survive such long flights, hehe) to go visit.
After Rich and I got back to the apartment, he played the rolling ball of stuff game and I read more Harry Potter. I finished the book this morning and wow. One of the majors things that happened was predictable, but some of what happened really surprised me. How long until the 7th book? haha That's okay, I need to go back and read the 5th sometime and there's still the movie of the Goblet of Fire coming out this winter.
Today I worked 1-9, as usual. "Kevin" was actually NICE today. It was a bit unsettling and for the first time I actually felt bad for being cold towards him. It would be nice if he was this way tomorrow, and hey, it could happen-- his usual minion isn't going to be there.
Unfortunately, I also ate more than God today. :/ As soon as I got there, even though I had eaten lunch right before leaving my house, I had Twix bars and peanut butter crackers. Then I had my usual blueberry bagel and coffee during my break. As soon as I got back from *that* I devoured two Hostess cupcakes. Trust me, that's a LOT for me to have during my 8 hour shift. I was so close to breaking my 2-month streak it's not even funny. And as soon as I got home from work I had a can of lentil soup with added in veggies, 3 stuffies my Dad made, and 2 fudge stripe cookies. Ugh. Talk about reflux. . .it's still haunting me.
Guess that's about it. I probably won't write tomorrow unless something amazing happens, so don't hold your breath.
ETA: so it's just past midnight and I am *not* feeling healthy. Dizzy, nauseous, very blah. I downed some Emetrol, but I think I had drank water too soon beforehand for it to work. So I decided to eat some of the rice crackers I have, but I'm not sure that did anything to help. Grrr, I hate feeling this way. Hopefully it's not something I ate earlier, especially since the one time I got food poisoning it was from seafood my parents made. I think they may be trying to kill me, heh.
