busyTuesday night after I got off work I drove to
mishiell’s and picked her up for a late-night dinner at Denny’s. She’d promised me a massage, so when we arrived back at her apartment she lay out a blanket and worked out the kinks in my back, neck, and shoulders. She took a half-day Wednesday, so we got to sleep in and have breakfast as well. It was a first-rate morning.Wednesday I had plans with
lildomino. I went over to her house after work and let myself in. We hung out while she determined whether or not she wanted to go get food, but eventually she just curled up behind me on the couch while I played on my laptop. I asked if she’d be more comfortable if we moved to the bedroom, and she agreed the bed would be more comfy than the couch. We wound up going to sleep early since lildomino had unexpected morning plans.Thursday night A1@ came over to hang out before work. She arrived half past midnight, and unfortunately could only stay until one-thirty since she had to work at two AM. Still, it was good to see her. With luck we’ll get together sometime when we have more than two hours. We gave up on L Word, so she took it back for now unless I decide to borrow it again when I can actually have a chance to watch it.
Friday evening I had a phone date with
hotarugirl. I’d hoped to speak with her earlier in the week, but Friday was the only night I could guarantee I’d be free to talk. I caught up and talked with her for a while, and then went over to lildomino’s to keep lildomino company while she studied for her test Saturday. Unfortunately, by the time I got to lildomino’s she was much too drowsy for any more studying, so we just went to bed to cuddle and sleep.Saturday I’d thought about getting up with
lildomino went she went to class, but fell back asleep for a few more hours. When I did get up, I drove over to icespark’s. We napped before going out to take care of some of icespark’s errands. We picked up flowers for her yard and something for my mom. We had plans to go to a club Saturday night, but decided we didn’t want to be around other people and just saw a movie instead (88 Minutes).Sunday we’d planned to role-play with
elbanditorojo, so after a late lunch/early dinner we went over to his house to hang out. A@ and Jobe were there, and we hung out with them and elbanditorojo’s cute kid Asmy until Asmy had to go to bed. elbanditorojo built an extensive 3D board for us to play on, which we thought was pretty cool until icespark pointed out was essentially a dollhouse for boys. That did suck some of the coolness out of it. *chuckle* We role-played late into the night and then headed home.Today
icespark wound up calling into work since we’d stayed out too late, so I fought for a while with a new printer lildomino gave me (which isn’t immediately compatible with Windows Vista, alas), and then icespark and I went out for breakfast at IHOP. After work tonight I’m going back to icespark’s to use her computer to belatedly print my tax signature form, and to get onto the MUX to wrap up post-Mindswap TP stuff.
"I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, `I know how to hire someone.' "
