I’m supposed to be asleep, but that’s getting harder and harder these days. I’m just always hot. I’ve resorted to just laying on the cold tile for a good 20 minutes before I try to get in bed, hopefully to just bottom out my body temperature for long enough for me to fall asleep. It hasn’t been working, but I’m committed to the bit.
I gave myself mild food poisoning today. I went home for lunch and made a sandwich- apparently you can’t do that with two-week old bread and ham. It tasted off, but I was starving given I hadn’t really eaten a full meal in a while. Big mistake, my stomach immediately lashed out and that informed the early half of my afternoon. I feel okay now, there’s some lingering nausea and I’m itchy as hell for some reason, but that might be unrelated.
I also dropped my car off at the shop today. I’m sort of worried about the price tag, I’ve financially ruined myself over the past three months, which is really not great news given the expenses I have coming up. Luckily, I took out some extra student loans to cover the credit card debt, which has to be stupid, but I’ll take a 6% interest rate over 19% or whatever it is. I’m sure my math is wrong, but I want to see the big number on my Discover bill go down. My car is supposed to be done by Monday, which is good because I move on Wednesday, but also bad because the weekend is coming and if I’m trapped in my apartment or have to walk everywhere in this heat, you might not hear from me again.
What else. Back day at the rec was Monday and I think I fucked it up, my shoulders are absolutely throbbing. Though, I did get a small bit of affirmation that my arms are indeed looking bigger. So, I mean, we made it folks. We’re officially hunks.
Hmm, I’ve been listening to lots of music lately. Well, for the past while, I have been. Last.fm says I have roughly 14 days of music streamed since May, which is pretty interesting to me. Recently, it’s mostly been Graceland by Paul Simon and The Pilgrim, Their God and The King Of My Decrepit Mountain by Tapir! Two really good albums. They both have some moments that are just infectious. I want to post a bunch of lyrics I like, but that’s kind of cringe, specifically because you need the instrumental to go along with it for it to have the same effect.
Um. A friend I hadn’t heard from in a couple years reached out. We talked on the phone for a bit. I was worried I’d never talk to him again, given his romantic situation (I think his girlfriend hates me) but it was good. I like catching up.
I’m out of juice. I’m expecting some mail this week that could be important, might update y’all on that. Umm, anything else? My cat scratched my hand pretty good, I’m out of groceries, it’s really hot, and I’ve got a bunch of work to do in the office this week. Also, I ran into Henry downtown tonight, he remembered me which made me feel pretty good. I think that’s really all I have, sorry for diary-posting.
Love you, good night!
jeez, louise
