I cleaned the house, did laundry, ate an awesome meatball sandwich, had sex, watched "Fitzcarraldo", and am now drinking a beer. I'd say I'm doing pretty well, thank you. And how are you doing today?
I just got back from a knock-your-socks-off poetry reading and am now sipping a vodka tonic. I saw lots of people I kinda know and look up to, and somehow survived the social anxiety -- even after a gulping down an iced latte (not the wisest idea -- but it sure was delicious). Getting over a cold, so no sordid nightlife for me tonight. Drat. The weather's just perfect for it!
I had tapas and sangria with a friend of mine, then watched Little Miss Sunshine for the first time. I bought the DVD used and it skipped a little, but I realize someone spilled something on the disc, so I need to figure out how to clean it. Deciding whether to wake up at the ass-crack of dawn to get in line for a Wii at Target tomorrow.
Slept from 2AM until almost 1PM but still got more done today than I have in a single day in MONTHS! Yesterday, I resolved a 'hanging over my head' issue a lot more easily than I expected to and the relief was palpable - I should've been mad at myself for letting it immobilize me and really mad at a certain person for scaring me for no reason, but I wasn't; I was just relieved. If I keep up this pace, my lifestyle will be 100% improved within the week.
I had a fabulous day on Saturday (it's Sunday morning here now).
I priced up and sorted out the flooring for this room, when it's decorated. Very reasonable, from a local supplier.
I came home and watched my team come from 2-0 down to win 4-2 (away) in probably one of the most crucial games of the season. Meanwhile, our closest rivals could only draw.
In other wonderful football news, Leeds were relegated to League 1 and I did a little dance round the living room when I heard.
And my home country Australia won the Cricket World Cup.
Last night I went to an AA meeting, it's a small-ish meeting where most of us know each other. There was a new woman there at her first meeting, and it took me back to how I used to be. I hope she gets it.
Then home, watched Match of the Day to see the highlights of my team's win (even though I'd watched it live earlier in the day), then a good night's dreamless sleep.
Today started with a big cat cuddlefest. I wish it had been a big hunky man cuddlefest, but I can't have everything.
