Weekend
I had a good weekend; which is good because I kind of feel like it was a microcosm of my life (right now), in that it encompassed most of what I have been thinking baout lately. Here is a brief recap:
Friday:
I left work late, which has been happening fairly regularly since my coworker left. To be honest, I don't mind the extra work because I really like my job. The problem is that I have extreme separation anxiety issues and miss my co worker.
After work I walked to the Apple store. I hate the apple store - it is on michigan ave., crowded with tourists and staffed by condescending and unhelpful nerds. I had made an appointment online to have my Ipod replaced, because the headphones had broken into the device, after having gone to the store before and having been told to come back in two hours. The fellow behind the counter gave me a hard time because the headphones were wound around the Ipod. I was crabby, there was a tussle, I got a new Ipod.
While walking home I woke middle sis up in Japan. She is in Kagoshima, living in a jungle up a mountain. I am embarrassed at how jealous I am. I have to change the subject.
Eventually, I went to Kitschn in River North. It was good - I had wanted to go there for a while (since seeing Rachel Ray go there, which was three years ago). I ordered pickily and had a glass of wine. After dinner I saw Bourne Ultimatum. I love the Bourne movies. Yes, they are silly and unbelievable, but I don't care. It totally could happen. When I got home I watched Lost on my Itunes until I fell asleep.
Saturday:
Woke up a 7am and took the red line to Evanston. Visited grandpa in the hospital. Sad. Tension with the mom communicated through babysis via text. Went to see Highschool Musical. Felt very, very old. Thought it was funny. Took mom and babysis to raw vegan gourmet restaurant. Fascinated yet disgusted. Ate too much. Went home by 7pm. Made plans to go out; cancelled plans to go out. Watched lost while I cleaned my bathroom. Fell asleep at 1130.
Sunday:
Fourteen hours later I woke up and realized I had missed my chance to go to the gym. Took red line to evanston. Visited grandpa in hospital. Talked about article in Financial Times. Less sad. No tension with mom - good mood. Left late to go meet friends for cubs game. Took red line to belmont, walked too far in the heat. Stopped at gap to buy better bra & clean shirt. Went to game. Destroyed shirt. Ate a lemon slushy and ogled the guys two rows in front of us (without actually speaking to them, of course). Finished the game - record for Glavine (?). Walked home with ice cream. Fell asleep while watching lost.
It's possible that I am in a rut.
