elvendolli somehow don't feel like being in bed just yet... so i am going to try & write despite being tired...
today was certainly an odd day...
i woke up tired, but got up in time to be on time. to then realize that spud was in the shower, and that it'd be more efficient to have adam shower second. adam is lucky - his bedroom is right next to the bathroom, so he can wait for the shower laying down in bed. i need to be up while waiting for the shower : (
overall it wasn't too bad - just one of those things that seems much worse then it is just because its happening first thing in the morning.
drove in to work, and the day started off more or less mild. then, i had a talk with a boss that made me feel like a huge weight was being lifted on my chest. i could have been more tactful, but it just didn't happen hat way.
with my mood already up, i needed to speak to the secretary/receptionist about a fax. went over there, and let my eyes kinda wander while waiting for her to get off the phone... until something caught my eye, i gasped, and ran over to it in excitement. in the lobby, laying there, from probably the last year and more, was a book by michael mcclure (i think it was called fragmented perseus). now i think i may have written about michael mcclure here before - i saw a poem by him on a website back in late 1995 or 1996, and really liked it. couldn't find anything more by/about him. three years later, i found beat voices in a book store, and saw that it had two poems in it by him - and bought it. since then, doing a search on his name about 6-7 months ago, i found out he was doing spoken work stuff with one of the remaining doors, but honesttly, haven't taken the time to pursue it. but he's definately an author that struck me. and to find that book just laying there really kinda blew me out of my water. (and i forgot to ask earler, ged - could i borrow it?? : ) ).
so this made me even more hyper.
then, i called my grandma to see if it was too late to decide to go to jamaica. i was told that i need to decide today... and (as you all know by now) after talking to my mom and both my grandparents, i decided to go : )
i am really hoping this will be a nice and refreshing trip. oh, did i mention that booze is included in the package????
in between all of that (between straightening out details with the travel agent & geting a hold of a bossperson to approve my time off)i went to lunch with my old lunchbuddy, and it was really good to see him & catch up on stuff : ) (we're just going to skip over that facts that my addiction to johny rocket's tuna sandwiches may not be healthy, and that i really did need to make it to the bank today)
after that i was pretty much bouncing off walls...
this lasted up until i got home, and i have been tired and mopey since. not in an overly bad way.. in a 'its fall and i feel tired and worn out' kind of way. i really need to start going to the gym before the trip though - i am scared of trying on my bikini right now.
also called an old friend today... he had come up in conversation last night, and my mind just kinda fixated on that today, and decided to just go ahead and call him. he sounded glad to hear from me... and i really do hope we keep in touch better then we have been the last 3 years or so *crossing fingers* last time we saw each other, he also took a couple of pictures of my back, and told me he's done pretty things with the pictures - with all luck, i'll be ale to see them (and him) soon...
so thats pretty much my day in a nutshell. next, i go curl up in bed, try to read a little,realize my concentration isn't there, curse my budding wisdom tooth again and go to sleep.
i can only hope the rest of the week resembles today.

> and i forgot to ask earler, ged - could i borrow it?? :
