Boiling Point
It's a holiday. Actually, it's going to be the first time I haven't had to work the weekend or the day itself in many many years. Well, I do have to work today, but not Sunday or Monday or Tuesday. And of course, everyone is telling me I should come to their little shindig and obviously I can't do everything and I don't want to do everything, but I will definitely do something.
Recap of the last few days:
Worked early on Thursday, meaning that I got up when the drunks were just settling down. I was tired all day, but put in the full eight, came home, took an hour nap, then went to my girlfriend's house so we could go to some charity thing with wine and cheese. For some reason, I am a charity case for so many of my friends, because they always want to dress me and do my makeup or hair and she is no exception. I dressed myself. But she spent some time on my face and I looked more glamorous than usual, but eyeliner will do that to you. And we got to the thing and we were overdressed (I sometimes forget that even though this is a big city, it is still not New York), as everyone was deep in the SoCal casual mode. I wore THE dress, the one that is meant to attract attention and does, but was resisted the last time I wore it. And the dress is still 0-2. Yes, I keep score with my clothes. So I had some wine and lots of cheese and bread and talked to lesbians all night, and then I drunk dialed the boy and told him that I looked really freakin' hot and he was missing out. Yes, I'm all class, even after a few glasses of wine. I'm also thinking (very preliminary thinking, at this point) of going to Venice in September (the one in Italy, not California).
Friday I was jerked awake by the phone at 8am, but I had to let it ring a couple of times before answering so I could figure out what day it was and if it was work or something telling me I was an hour late. But yesterday was my day off so I eventually answered it. And it was someone wanting to give me a job, which is fantastic, and I start on Wednesday. yeah. It will be the first full time job I've had in three years. I'm a little scared. After that, I made some calls for my movie that will hopefully be returned very soon and watched the movie Independence Day. Yes, I've seen it before, but I was still trying to wake up and it was noise while I ate my cereal. Then I went shopping, because a new job always requires new shoes. So now I'm all set. I also bought a pair of slacks and an adorable black blazer. And I got my oil changed (see how responsible I am?). Somewhere in there I called the boy and left a sorry to have pestered you message, and we talked later in the day. He said he had to call me back, and he never did. Oh well. Probably for the best anyway. Then the girlfriend came over and I took her out to dinner and then we came back here and had some wine and she told me some secrets, thinking I wouldn't want to be friends with her anymore, but I'm more forgiving than I look, I guess.
Today I mail the rent check and ponder when it will get to its destination, and when it will be cashed. I work this afternoon at a wedding, which I'm hoping will be casual since it is so early. I have high hopes that this weekend will be fun and enjoyable, with lots of fun activities going on. I have a strange inkling that something will be happening this weekend that will have an impact on my life, hopefully for the better. It's like impending action, watching the pot of water boil. And I think at some point this weekend, there will be some boiling.
