In the process of rearranging my room, even though I should be doing more reading. The rearranging is not going well. The goal that I want is to still have a blank white wall that I can use for photo shots (if I ever get my lazy ass around to it), to get the bed far enough from the computer where I have to get up to use it (currently it is less than a foot from the bed.), yet close enough that I can still watch DVD’s. Right now the room is not looking good. All I’ve done is move the bed to the opposite corner of the computer. This is blocking the entrance to the walk in closet though; to get in you have to crawl over the bed. Tomorrow after classes I will see if I can fix the room somehow.
Has bad of a mess the room is, I love the fact that I can change the room if I like. With a roommate sharing the room it is hard to do something like this. I have been making the rounds with changes. Got the hair cut, which isn’t really a change; just a bad hair cut. But I do have the bleaching kit, which I should be using the next time I see Serraph.It might not seem like a big deal, but the fact that I’ve consented to letting Serraph bleach my hair is a big deal. In the third grade, my mom though she could save some money by cutting my hair. The thing is that she left a big bald spot on my head. I have never forgotten that and I won’t let anyone touch my hair except for a professional hair dresser with a license. O.K. I do let people play with my napps, but that’s more of a relaxation tool for them and for me. It sounds weird, but you have to try it to believe it.
Anyway, I can’t stay up too late tonight. Tomorrow I have aikido at 8am to make up for the days I missed last week. 2hrs of aikido; oh man am I going to be feeling it.

I am having a pretty good monday so far. There hasn’t been any major crisis and I am getting work done too. The only thing that I have to bitch about are the prices at the Deli. A 20oz bottle of Pepsi costed me $1.45 Ouch! I need to stop by Safeway and get come cases of the Select stuff. Actually, I should buy juice, or heaven forbid, that I actually drink water. Gasp!!!
Hmmm, I wonder is Suzanne is at work or catching up on lost sleep. Maybe I’ll call call her later today. I also need to call Mom too.

Listening to Dave Chappelle. Saw him at the Punchline once; funny as Hell…
Work is going O.K. so far. Only one order that has come in. The thing that I need to work on is tires for my car. One is almost gone (You can see the metal fibers poping out), the reg. size spare has a leak somewhere. Some of the other tires aren’t looking too good either. I need to call around to see if anybody has tires in stock for my little Metro. Usually, they don’t. **hic**
I’ve had the hicups for about 10-15 min. now. It’s not helping that I’m laughing my ass off too. **hic**
I need to stop somewhere and get a new light. I think that I read somewhere that plenty of light can help with depression. and my room is pretty light. I also need to move the bed away from the computer; I think it will help me stop procrastinating since I will have to get out of the bed to use the computer. We’ll see.

Just kinda waking up now. I’ve been back home for a couple of hours, but the walk from the BART station to my place carrying all of my luggage took a lot out of me. I got home and was dozing on the bed, when I thought I felt an earthquake. So I went to turn the TV on, but there wasn’t anything, so maybe it was teh downstairs neighbors. I stayed out on the couch and watched Kathy Griffith Temptation Island special. Talk about funny stuff. I am all caught up on the show and I think that I just might turn in on Wednesday for the finale.
Well, dinner with Barry and Gabi turned out to be a great success. I was really worried about it, like they wouldn’t get along or disapprove of her or she would disapprove of them. But everybody got along and took turns teasing and taunting Joe. **sigh** Anyway, dinner at Cattleman’s was excellent. The steak was a little undercooked, but it just tastes SOOOO GOOD. MMMMM. Well, my steak desire is now quenched for a couple of months.
The only thing that sucked was sleeping last night. I had a couple glasses of wine and some Hefeweizen, and so I was a little buzzed going back to Suzanne’s. Anyway, All I did was just toss and turn on her bed and I almost pushed her off a couple of times. The thing is that I woke up in the middle of the night and realized what I was doing, and then I went back to sleep and did it again. Neither one of us got much sleep. So this morning, I woke up and went out to the living room to watch my Escaflowne DVD’s so she could get some sleep. The thing (I think) is that her house is too cold for me; I get very cold easily and her house was freezing.
Anyway, overall I had a really good weekend. It’s a good thing because I just got a message from Randy today that he thinks that my original financial aid check came. SO I have to go over and see if it is the real deal. If it is, then tomorrow I have to see if I can stop the stop payment on the original check. Oy Vey.

I did go and get a haircut today. The thing about cutting my hair is that if you don’t know how to do it, it is going to look really bad. Well, I’m not sure that the lady knew what she was doing, but the cut isn’t bad. I don’t like it, but I can live with it. I still have the hair coloring kit, so I think that I will try to color it and see if that helps it. If it makes it worse, then I’ll just shave it all off.
Now it is time for me to find a talbe and study/take a nap.

I am currently at the Fairfield library waiting for Suzanne to get off of work. THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE AT THE MALL RIGHT NOW. It includes Barnes & Nobles where Suzanne is at. So if the power doesn’t come back up in an hour, maybe she will be able to leave.
Yesterday was a pretty good day at work. I was able to get all of the shit that needed to be done like recieving orders and fixing problems. I still think that I am lagging behind and that I need to kick it up a notch. I think next week, I will work an hour later every day. Amber has really turned things around at the store; it is so impressive. But there is pressure comming on me to get things done at the warehouse. Like she wants to start pricing things. Previously, the only thing we priced were items that didn’t have bar codes. Now she wants prices on everything. I am used to it and can understand it, but it is going to take awhile to implement it, esp. at the warehouse. I’m not being pressured, but I feel pressured. Maybe I’m just freaking out over nothing, who knows. Actually the thing that I am starting to get worried about is inventory. It isn’t until end of June, but I am worried that Peter is going to bail before then. That would leave me and Tim to do it. Nott that we couldn’t do it by ourselves; Amber and I have done it, but it would mean more stress. **sigh** I should worry about it until later.
So I got home and finally got my room cleaned. You can tell the stress level that I have by the cleanliness of my room. The messier it is the more depressed and stressed I am. I think that I am over the stuff that has been going on this week. No, not completely, but enough to move on anyway. So Suzanne came over around 9pm and it took me an hour to shower ant to get ready to leave. We took the long way to Vallejo (via 101 to 37) cause she wanted to know which way to go in case she didn’t have money or wanted to avoid traffic. It is a longer trip, but you don’t have to pay for toll if you are going to Vallejo and the traffic is not as bad as the traffic on the Bay Bridge. So we left, but we were so tired, that we decided not to watch the new Escaflowne DVD’s that I got (I think we will watch them tonight after dinner or maybe later today if she gets off early.
So today I have been hanging out in Fairfield at the mall and now the library. I did some shopping at the mall and bought some pants and a shirt at Hot Topic. At Sears, I got my watches fixed. When I left Sears, that’s when I found out that the power was out. The only stores that have power are Sears and some of the stores next to it. Wierd.
Anyway, I went over to B&N to see what Suzanne wanted for lunch. I got her some Wendy’s and I got alot of carnations to hand out to her co-workers and for her. I think that I def. won some points.
O.K. I think I’m caught up on my boring recent life. The deep shit will just have to wait until I get back home. Tonight is dinner with Barry and Gabi. I am a little nervous about it, since this is the first time that someone in The Group (Mew, Lesa, Amber, Gabi etc.) have met her. I’ve just been nervous about introducing people I’m interested in to other people in my life. PArt of it has to do with April and I when we were going out, which I have never gotten over. **sigh** Well, we are going to Cattleman’s for dinner and it should be fun to see the happy married, pregnant couple in action.

I hope everything’s O.K. I swear I’ve been picking the phone up and checking to see if it is working. I hope that she didn’t call while I was doing laundry. 🙁
And then the David Gray CD is refusing to copy. Easy CD Creator is freezing up on me. I think it is because it is a Enhance CD. Argh,,,,,
And then I cooked dinner, but I think that cooking the Rice-a-Roni in my rice cooker was a bad idea. I am starting to get dizzy and woozy. Or is that because Suzanne isn’t here,,,,,,
