What’s This? An Entry?! in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)

Entries. They are so hard to get out lately. I suppose it has a lot to do with the fact that my dumb laptop is still broken—despite the fact that I bought a new reboot disk AND took it into the Geek Squad (they gave me an estimate of $800 to $1100 to fix it! WTF ever!!). So now I’m left with trying to write from the office OR I could try to write from Grrr’s laptop that he’s let me borrow, but I’m not sure how to sneak an entry without leaving traces for him to follow to the diary.

So. Not too many updates of late.

And there is sooooo much to write about. I’m afraid I’m going to forget it all:

  • The Christmas Caribbean Cruise (a billion entries could be written here—perhaps a photo entry?)
  • Settling into the loft with Grrrr
  • Settling into life with Grrrr
  • Preparing for Grrr’s kids and ex to come visit
  • Protecting my independence (and not doing it very well)
  • Leathercrafting update, or Will I Ever Finish This Bag?!
  • Travel excitement—the same, but different!
  • Petty jealousy issues/throwing myself on the floor (hi, CN!)
  • Alcohol enjoyment/abuse…the fine, thin line that I can’t figure out how not to cross
  • Shifting and shuffling at work
  • Staying thin: stress or real weight management?

    Spent the last few days in New York. How I love that city. I say it every time. It got blustery cold yesterday, but the sun was shining and it was such a happy, winter day! Bummer that I had to leave yesterday, but I was ready to get back home. The turbulent flight wasn’t so nice (still have those fear-of-flying issues after ALL these years), but again, nice to be home…and missed. Oh so nice, even if my love was still traveling himself. The phone call was so much better while snuggling up in our own bed (yes, this time I said, “our”).

    Got to see [CN] Monday night, along with my friend MM. The night ended on a weird note…something about grooming issues. Oy. My head was hurting by the end. But the next day, MM wanted to mend fences with [CN] and asked if he could have her contact information. I left it up to her, but he’s going to be back in a week. I’m curious…

    And I head back in two weeks. I’m hoping to get the full report when I’m there.

    Also got to have dinner with my former boss and three of my colleagues from my last job. We had a yummy early dinner at Spice Market and a few glasses of wine. It was a blast catching up with them…especially making dirty jokes with Dan, just like old times. But I was sad to see that Angie was quiet and withdrawn. She was the one who invited me, after all. She’s also the one who used to get me in trouble, so I guess it was for the best that we were all pretty mellow. But I couldn’t tell what was wrong with her, and I didn’t want to ask in front of everyone.

    So yeah. I was home and in bed before 11:30 every night this week. What’s become of me? Maybe I am finally maturing?

    Is that possible?
