Headed to Chakraa's for some Indian food with Shells last night. The food was good but overall the experience was...a bit strange. I'm still giggling over the "calculator incident."
After the grub we headed over to Bliss to see Joel and we ended up in some sort of crazy poker.
Joel: Ok, I'll admit it, sometimes I...(info withheld to protect the guilty)
Shells: Oh, I do that all the time! And, last Friday when I got home all drunk I...(
best story ever!!! "I think he started to catch on."
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!)Me: Whatever!! I see your craziness, and I'll raise you by at least 5 crazy points because I...(you can't even imagine).
Obviously, I've had some shit going on lately. Last night was good for my soul, and I'm still feeling warm and fuzzy from it this morning. Tonight will be a little slumber soiree at Joel's, and tomorrow we're waking up bright and early to cook a Thanksgiving feast for our little family-away-from-family. I'm really looking forward to a relaxed weekend filled with good food and good people!!
Reason #691258799 I'll Be Burning In Hell...
As a disclaimer before I admit how awful I really am sometimes: I've mentioned before that I'm really quite an asshole at times. So keep your hatemail to yourself. Feel free to keep emailing nice things, but honestly I just delete the mean stuff without a second glance so don't waste your time.
OK, now that we got that settled...I was watching the news this morning because that is what I do every morning. And they had a brief story about a double amputee who was about to complete his first triathlon. Which is really, really awesome, right? Seriously, I think it rocks! But my first thought??? "
It's not like he's gotta worry about shinsplints and shit, right?!?" WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME??? *
feel free to alphabetize that list...* It's not often I'm ashamed of myself, but I was pretty mortified this morning. I got over it, though.I tried to find a picture of the athlete, but you don't wanna know what comes up when you google double amputee pictures. Or double amputees on a bike. Or double amputee athletes. It kind of reminded me of the time Joel and I googled pictures of chickens having sex after somehow discovering that neither of us had ever seen chickens going at it, and then we got a little worried that we might accidentally end up on some kind of illegal beastiality site so we never did get to satisfy our curiosity.Maybe one day I'll do a post on all the ridiculous crap Joel and I do together. Or I could post those pictures from our dance off...
Anyway, as my kids put it, "One more sleep and BIIIIG holiday for America???" Yup. Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Americans. Everyone else, have a great day!
I gots to say I'm feeling pretty good. Still have pain from the surgery, but it's nice to know why the pain is there and that it'll eventually go away. Which has not been the case for me these past couple of months. I'm eating again, I'm sleeping again, I'm dancing in elevators again, and if I do say so myself I look pretty darn good...a bit too skinny, but still good!
I'm pretty psyched for the weekend. Can't drink any alcohol, but it'll be good to be out and surround myself with my beautiful friends, some of whom I haven't seen in ages. Good Lord, I can't even remember the last time I was awake past midnight...it's time to change that for sure!!
I've set a new goal for myself...I guess if I tell you guys about it I'll have no choice but to at least try to keep it, right? I'm cleared for physical activity as of December 1st, so I've decided that I'm gonna run everyday in December. I had started a new running blog to keep track of this, but I deleted it cause it was just a bit too gloomy for me. So, where were we?? Oh yeah...everyday in December. 31 days. 31 runs. Which will be hard. Cause I'm out of shape. And I hate the cold. And I'm going to Chiang Mai where I will no doubt drink more than I should and sleep later than I had planned. But I feel that my health issues have caused me to hover perilously close to the edge of depression lately, and I always feel better about myself when I'm being athletic. Wish me luck! And give me shit if I even think about skipping a day!!!
I'm off for a follow up Dr. appt. Cross your fingers for me!!
And, I had the strangest dream about those cult members in Russia who are hiding underground with all that gas. It was
Strange!! Note the capital 'S.'
Ugh
It's Monday. Enough said.
Went to the see a Dr. on Thursday for routine stuff. Saturday morning I went under the knife. Laproscopy, so I won't even have a cool scar to show off. That's all the details you'll get, but let me tell you it's been a long and painful weekend. Mic came over Saturday evening. He made me some food, tucked me in, did my dishes, and asked if I wanted him to do any laundry, or clean my floor or anything at all. Then he dumped me. Had I known, I would've had him do some laundry first. Not feeling particularly generous due to his ridiculously bad timing, I was in no mood to make getting rid of me an easy task. We talked in circles for quite some time. In the end, he agreed to think about his decsion some more and maybe try things again. But I don't have much hope. Ahhh, life. What doesn't kill you just hurts really, really bad.
Otherwise, though, I'm doing OK. Making lots of decisions about the future...or at least pondering lots of options. To stay or not to stay? To take a break and come back or to just keep working? If I go, where? And do what? School? The world is wide open and I can do anything I want. Which, unfortunately, only makes my decision harder. I had been planning to stay, but all of my health issues are making me wonder if I shouldn't be somewhere closer to family. Sorry mom, there's not a chance in hell I'll be back in Sunbury, and Allentown is also a slim shot. Actually, Pennsylvania isn't really even on the list, which kind of blows my "closer to family" theory. Guess I'll just stay on the lookout for signs, and things will work themselves out.
Hope everyone else is well. I'm looking forward to getting out of my apartment and back to my old self again, so be on the lookout for some pics soon. So far I've got dinner with Shells on Thursday and a Thanksgiving feast at Joel's on Saturday, so should be some good times!!
There are people I should've talked to about this stuff in person, or at least on the phone. Apologies to you, and very sincere ones at that. I was in no shape physically or mentally, and everything happened so quickly I had little time to process it myself. BUT I'M BACK!! Hope you can forgive me!! :)
