Sometimes I feel like I am two different people. One is very stable, intelligent, happy, proactive, productive, optimistic, energetic, a solid leader, a great influence, a wonderful friend, and a strong woman. The other is somewhat flustered, confused, lonely, depressed, a lousy friend, exhausted, worn out mentally, falling apart at the seams, and unmotivated. How can these two people both exist in me? They take turns, sometimes by week, sometimes by hour. It’s not like I am out of control, but I am just recognizing that these two different people are indeed part of me… and as real as one another. This doesn’t upset me. It’s just odd.
Anyhow, onto the recap…
Monday, Sept 21st – Worked, met up with Kyle at Jamba Juice, picked up Laury, went bowling.
Tuesday, Sept 22nd – Worked, baked home-made (from scratch) chocolate chip marshmallow brownies, went to trivia, celebrated Sarah’s birthday! Great food, great treats, great fun! My team placed and we each got about $3.
Wednesday, Sept 23rd – Worked, edited photos, had Thai food with Gigi, hung out with Kyle.
Thursday, Sept 24th – John came by to play with the cats and bring over some litter, then I worked, took an evening nap, then headed to Koji’s to hang out with Violet, Jason, Kyle, and Bobby. Bobby was quite drunk, so I took him home… he can tell you the story of his drunken adventures. Just note that he will never drink 3 different whiskeys and eat only soup for dinner ever again. He was quite entertaining to Josef & I as we put him to bed.
Friday, Sept 25th – Took Bobby to Hollywood & Highland to get his car, then headed into Tarzana to work from the office. Little did I know it was a crazy day there, full of wires, conference table move-ins, and Internet down-time. Went to lunch with the Hexcorp team, then worked a little before heading home via Ventura Blvd to visit sign shops for research (for work). We need a great trade-show sign!
Once home, I passed out! I just couldn’t function after an hour and a half drive in 100+ degree heat. I had A/C on, but the sun was still beating down into the car. I woke up at 8pm, texted Violet that I wasn’t going to make it out to Jason’s party, then passed back out til almost 11pm, when Kyle came over. We watched reruns of That 70s Show for a few hours.
Saturday, Sept 26th – Slept in, then headed to the Towers to hang out with Susan, Emmett & Greg. Susan & I went to lunch at the Good Earth on Ventura, then back to the apt to watch Animal Planet with Emmett & Greg. I spent a few hours there relaxing and hanging out.
At night, I met up with Josef for dinner, then went back to his and Bobby’s place for a kick-ass party! So many people were there that seats were in high demand! I had a great time!
Once home, I spent some time in bed crying about random things that I won’t go into online. Just stuff / activities / connections from my past that I miss, mostly… very unexpected and out of the blue. Thanks, Evaun, for helping me through!
Sunday, Sept 27th – Slept til noon. Lyse called and woke me up wondering when I was coming to Cat Genie to meet her for lunch. I got ready, picked up Laury, and off we went. We played with kitties for a bit, then went to the Italian Faire on Selma for an hour for lunch. I had ravioli and an empanada. Yum!
Once back at Cat Genie, I played with kitties for some more and fell in love with this little orange kitty named Kimberly. She was so tiny, soft, and sweet! I really would love to adopt her, but I know it’s not a good time for me to be adding to the family.
Laury & I then went up to Koji’s for a cool, calm place for me to teach him photography. Jay was there. I gave him Lyse’s bracelet for the Italian Faire and requested he pick up a Cannoli for Lyse!
Laury got the basics of SLR photography down, then we went for a walk on Hollywood Blvd to photograph the weird wanna-be superheros that lurked about the area.
After that, Laury, & I met back up at Cat Genie and Jay showed up with a Cannoli shortly after. I played with kitties some more! Then, Laury, Jay, & I went up to Koji’s for a bit before heading to Improv Olympic for Lyse’s show. We walked, and it was really nice out by then. Great show overall… 🙂
For dinner, Laury & I went to Koji’s (my 2nd home at this point) and I had garden rolls while he had shabu shabu. I got to have his veggies though! After dinner, I took him home and fed the cats.
After the cats ate, I headed up to the Palace to watch Final Destination and have ice cream with Dorwart and Scharff. We had all seen it, but needed a good laugh! Before heading home, I showed them some pix of Sedona in hopes it would entice them to join me on my journey next weekend. I hope it works! They seem really intrigued!
Now I am home with Sandy on my lap. I am going to head to bed now. Night world!
