Today's Quickie Update in These Foolish Things

Sleep: I’m so freaking tired. I never caught up from my loss of sleep over the weekend because I was meeting and cocktailing with Ace on Sunday and then again on Monday night…like, nearly ALL night. I’ve decided that in addition to beating myself up over being honest, I was beating myself up over drinking too much…and I’ve since gotten over that, because here’s something I didn’t tell you in my previous entry: Ace drank the following: (1) Bud Light - which, okay. If I have to drink beer I’d prefer a super refreshing very light beer, and (2) Red Bull and Vodka - which should have been a GIGANTIC RED FLAG! Hahah. I mean, who the hell drinks Red Bull and Vodka, amirite? I’m recalling all the weird stuff that he did and now thinking WHY did I ever apologize to HIM?! And what a jerk he was for asking me if I’d “make it up” to HIM!!! Wait. This was supposed to be about sleep. I’ve been awake since 2am. I’ve probably had about 10 hours of sleep in the past 96 hours. Can’t even think straight.

Ace: Okay, I’ll keep going. After his text about me “making it up” to him, we texted a few times and I sent him some potentially evocative ideas and he texted me back telling him that I was just teasing him. Okay, fine. Maybe I was. But I haven’t heard anything back from him since then and I don’t even care at this point. In hindsight, I shoulda never, ever texted him after he got upset at my player comment. Dude is a douche. Why have I spent so much mental energy???

Teeth: Dentist again this morning. The good news is that my tooth wasn’t as bad as I’d had a feeling it was. The bad news is that the dentist had previously done such a great job with my crown that he couldn’t get it off to do the work that he needed to do under it! There are a couple of different ways that you can get a crown off and keep it in tact, but none of them worked (he tried), so he had to cut the crown apart to get it off and I have to get a new one. Waaaaahhhh! There goes $1500. Well, I mean, my insurance will pay a whopping $500 of that…so there goes a grand. But I guess it’s better than getting bone loss, which is what my dentist was afraid of and what my gut was telling me was about to happen. So now I have a temporary crown that I hope will last until I leave for Paris (in a month) because I’m going to go back to the dentist on the day that I leave to get the permanent crown popped on…so I can pop on over to Europe!

The Trip: I’m ready! I can’t wait to go! Less than a month to go! The only thing I don’t have all together in my head is my packing list (which I have started typing out, but I need to pull the items out and look at them together to see if I can make outfits). I need to pack for warm and cold. I get super cold on airplanes and it looks like Scotland is nippy in September. I can’t waaaaaiiiittttt for some major changes of scenery. It’s funny - I used to travel all over Europe and Asia for work and now that I haven’t been going the last few years I just want to keep going back. I’ve missed you, my foreign lands!

Home: My good next door neighbor sent me a text about my bad next door neighbor today. He said Bad NDN is being evicted. I’m glad. He was super scary. But I’ll also believe it when I see it. I’m sure he won’t go quietly, so that makes me nervous.

Bod: Working out 5 days a week now. Not losing weight - likely because of drinking and bad eating when I’m hungover - but everything is tightening up nicely. I’ve said it a few times now - I’m ready to get naked in front of someone…but not just anyone…someone who deserves it and someone whom I deserve. WHY is it just not working out? I can’t figure it out. I cried a little last night. It did not make me feel any better. I suppose it wasn’t a big enough and ugly enough cry?

Gotta roll.
