| This weekend was a bust. I had planned to go shopping as I am in sore need of new slacks for work. The pairs that fit do not fit well but most are just a little dated and a little worn. As this past weekend was fathers day and the best time to buy new mens clothes I had hoped to go shopping on Sunday. Well my plans were not to be. I worked as normal on Saturday. I now have a part time job working a couple of Saturdays a month to bring in extra spending money. As I was saying I worked Saturday and for a while thought I would go out that evening shopping just to get it over but realized once I got home that I really didn't wan't to leave the house again. Nothing new in that, once I am home after a long day I am seldom in the mood to go back out, especially when I know I will be fighting a crowd in a mall. So instead decided to just veg and try again in the morning. Instead I found myself waking in the middle of the night sick and staying that way all though the day on Sunday. I send the whole day either in bed or the bathroom and didn't improve until about 9:00 that night. Which meant that now that I was feeling better and wide a wake there wasn't much to do. I finally took some melitonin around 2:00 am and went back to bed. Though I was feeling fine by the morning I still had to drag myself out of bed, lacking my normal 8 hours sleep to head into work. On Monday I was suppose to meet up with my friend Martha and a coupe of coworkers for dinner. One of the bar/restaurents here on the Plaza has a great deal for happy hour on Mondays and since Martha, I and a couple of others from the university meet up every couple of weeks for drinks we thought we would go there for both drinks and dinner but the other two had to beg off and I wasn't feeling up to it. I am not particularly good at going out on weeknights and most particullarly on Mondays, I find them especially draining and on this occasion having been sick and lacking sleep I really wasn't up to it, I called Martha to let her know that the others weren't going to join us with full intentions on joining her anyway. I was going to go even with all my formentioned list of reasons not to because I find that at least with her when I join her dispite the given reason I perk up and end up having a good time. This time she let me off the hook as she had some writing she wanted to get done anyway and decided to take a rain check. One of here sons is coming to town this week and I will be out of town for the 4th (of July, American Independece day and a holiday) so it may be a while befor we are able to get together again. ciao |
