ride my rollercoaster

zestfiveThis weekend was pretty good. I left work around 12:30 to go to my chiro appt. After that, I went to P's house, had dinner. She wanted to sleep so I ran some errands in preperation for tie dying with R. I picked up the dye and some what cotton clothing. I ended up finding some sleep shorts and pantaloon type things. When I went back to wake her up, we had burgers and other various things at a restaurant than unfortunately had changed owners. The burgers were not what she expected and dreadfully, I found an eyelash/eye brow hair in mine. Home to the country house to crash.
Saturday, we got up and went to her mom's for a home party for natural skin care products. I didn't buy anything but I think she did. After that we picked up R and on the way home did a number of things. I picked up a minifrige for $30 from craigslist for my office (maybe now I won't eat out as much). Due to the road construction, we ended up near my mom's house and as it's unusual (earth sheltered and passive solar heat) we stopped off to show R. Getting closer to home, I wanted to find a cache (even though we didn't have the GPS or anything) I was hoping I could show him what it was like. Unfortunately, couldn't find it. Now we're all starving and P thinks we should eat leftovers(which were good but I want to eat out). Yummy mexican and a stop at the "store that must not be named" to pick up a few more things before home to tie dye. We saw a couple of good movies and went to bed about 1am.
Sunday was church, a transgender woman spoke. I had met her before and really enjoyed her. My friend R came, T was there and a recent addition to our congregation J briefly spoke. J is a m2f transgendered woman who's right in the middle of all the intensity. She's a little hard to take sometimes but I'm sure I've been in a similar spot before (all consumed about something). I thought it would be fun to go to an apple orchard or geocaching (but didn't bring the GPS) but in the end...most folks were too tired to do anything but take a nap. Dropped off R at home and P at home. She was suppose to take a nap and then come back but she ended up over sleeping. I was disappointed. I ended up doing laundry, rinsing the tie dye and washing that. I did finally change the sheets. I should have gone to bed sooner but didn't....oh well, leads to a tired girl on Monday.
This morning I had to get up to take the boy to an ortho appt he wanted to go as early as possible because he didn't want to miss school (?!) but due to traffic (road construction) we ended up being late. Not surprising... Anyways, he's fine and is due back in 8 months. It's so nice that it's so far off. He started braces at age 8 and now he's grown so much and looking so handsome in his straight teeth. After I got him dropped off at school, I had to head to work. I had my new frig in my car and had to try to figure out how to get it to my office without drawing too much attention to myself. It wasn't too bad but I'm glad that's done. Hopefully, when I remove it, classes will be over and there won't be too many people around. I hope to bring enough food so I don't have to eat out as much.
Driving to work, I was bummed out. I'm not sure why, is it the weather? Is it because I need things in my life to look forward to so I can get through the mundane things? Anyone got any suggestions on that? I think I was also worrying about the job situation. I want to be stable for just a few more years for my boy but I also want to be wild and carefree. Things got better once I was at work and a little more distracted. It's also nice to realize that I've got 3 weeks off between fall semester and spring semester. My productive and optimistic side of me says I should clean my house during that time. I'm not sure if I will....but it's a good plan. The one good thing about today is that I got to eat my leftover chipotle at lunch, yum.
I'm going to head home, do some more laundry and probably go to bed early. I also want to make a point of packing some food so I can put it in my frig. I was suppose to work the desk tomorrow night until 5pm but that just changed so hopefully I can be here by 8am so I can leave by 4pm.
I'm going to head home pretty soon. I've got to remember to go to the library and pick up the book I just ordered. A Family Tragicomic By Allison Bechdel.
