bewize

I've not updated with anything but Woe!Angst lately and while life is insanely stressful, there are (as always) several very fun things still happening.

* I met a guy who is a lot younger than I am (though legal!). He's adorable, though, and persistent as hell. I told him to go away before I did something I'd regret (so, so cute!). He said that sounded promising and has been e-stalking me since, but in a cute way. I told him he was too little and he said, "Not where it counts." LOL. Seriously... this could be problematic. But in a fun way!

* I had the chance to interview Mike Kinnebrew again. He's a local-ish musician and I adore him. He is so nice! And his music is fun, singer/songwriter stuff. Seriously, LOVE. We've become Facebook friends so I can better stalk him. It was his idea. ♥ (He's got a lot of music on Youtube and his new album just came out. Go and listen!)

* The office move is underway. It's 95% stress, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I don't think it's a train. Please, God, don't let it be a train.

* M continues to be a shining light. He's SO MUCH FUN at this age. He's obsessed with Elmo and with books and he constantly brings me Scott Pilgrim and the Marvel Mix and Match that Margot bought him last year. He calls me, "RACH!" and sometimes "MOMMYRACH!" and I don't think it's possible to love anyone more. /sap

* My family is thinking about coming here for Christmas. I don't know what to think of that. So, in true bewize-fashion, I won't think about it at all. It won't happen anyway, but the possibility is freaking me out.

I'm hungry now and going to eat lunch shortly. Bye folks!

I arrived at work at 1 today, because I worked from home this morning on articles and then went and did my next interview for the magazine article due this week. When I arrived at work, I noticed that all of my files had been moved to S's sofa. A bit annoyed, I started digging through them, and then realized that they were covering a box.

Inside the box is a brand new HP laptop. With a warranty and MS Word package on the outside of the box.

S knows that I've been saving for the past few months to get a new laptop and I was sharing my glee at the fact that the title work that I just did (and half killed myself over) was going to pay the difference.

I know that this is his way of apologizing, too, about last week. I'd already forgiven him and decided that his friendship meant enough to me that I wasn't going to obsess over his inability to honor my wishes that he keep silent.

He didn't have to do this.

I kind of wish he hadn't.

But, I'm also unbelievably touched by it and more than a bit weepy now.

He's not even in the office, so I don't know for sure what the hell is going on, but everyone else seemed fairly gleeful about it, and said he'd left it there for me to find. I just...

I don't even know.

I really don't even know.

I'm going to go cry into a tissue now.

*headdesk*

So remember when I talked abut paying off the Damn Discover Card a few days ago? Well, I made a balance transfer and then sent my entire "bonus" straight to Discover Card, which was great right up until I just realized that I forgot to cancel the payment coming out of my bank account.

Today.

So, I've now sent them even MORE money (which I don't really have at the moment).

Good news? This card should now be paid off for sure in the next month/two months.

Bad news? I have NO MONEY until someone pays me. $#!@.

I should, however, have enough to pay car insurance next week. After that? Touch and go.

I really need someone to pay me. LOL.

Worst case scenario, I'll pay myself for the work I do with S on a weekly basis this month.

*************

In other news, I'm feeling a tiny bit vulnerable today. Several things happened yesterday to make me feel a bit... unimportant. Which, you know, I am in the grand scheme of things, but it's never nice to feel like others see you that way.

I'll recover; my ego is in no way permanently damaged. But, still... I'm stinging a bit.

Which, if the past is any evidence to the future, will undoubtedly result in withdrawing for a while. So if I get scarce, don't worry. :)

*************

My throat hurts today. This is very upsetting considering the tremendous amount of crap I need to do/get done today. I shall have to suck it up. Maybe another cup of coffee will help?

*************

Cuz' whose to worry if our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you notice life goes on

*************

Is anyone interested in going to the Greek Festival on Sunday with me and Mattie? It'll be fun! They have Greek food! *tempts*

*************

So, this afternoon, we have a police officer coming in to investigate an alleged death threat made by an attorney in the office. My life - never dull.

BE JEALOUS!

I took my first belly dancing class tonight and it was awesome. But, JEEBUS, my arms are killing me. Apparently, I am not good at "floating" and holding the "relaxed W pose" and I think my arms might fall off. *fails*

I really did like the approach the class took, though. It was a woman only space, no men even allowed in the building. No children, either. Just... women (or young women in some cases) learning "to appreciate our fabulousness."

Yeah, it was a bit cheesy, but I liked it.

We got a lecture on the origins of belly dance and the nature of its portrayal in the US as factually incorrect. It was a dance done by women for women only. And it has a history of addressing health concerns, particularly in child birth.

I don't know. It just felt like a good hour for me.

Of course, it would have been better had it not followed a 911 emergency phone call from V where she told me that her purse had been stolen. Including her keys. And ID. So the theif knows where we live and can get inside.

*headdesk*

We've got a locksmith coming first thing in the morning. Who knew that having a locksmith in my group of people to keep would ever be so handy? He'll be here tomorrow morning and cut us a 25% break. Good thing, because that shit is expensive!

... and in other news, I met a someone. That's all for now.

So, it's 1 am. I'm asleep. Barely.

D brings B and some girl into the house and they proceed to turn on the fucking tv. Loudly.

Does no one have any respect at all anymore?

I don't even know what to do or say about this. D tried to be charming, but I am not charmed.

I'm pissed off. Furious.

And I've had a really bad day that is tempting me to write off a fair number of people that I know as crass assholes.

And before anyone says, "talk to him about it" - he fucking knows I"m annoyed. But it doesn't seem to bother him at all.

It's his house. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.
