work today was high stress. ch and i weren't communicating well, and it was the sort of busy day when we needed to. but we eventually got into the groove- and the customers stopped pouring in. part of ch moving to his new place means loosing his storage space, where there were about 20 boxes of flower shop stuff. so he and ricky brought all that back to the shop today, and we had to find space for it. some of the boxes were smaller than others, so it wasn't as bad as i'd feared- also, i thought it would be all paperwork, but some of it was useful things, like all the christmas stuff, or wedding supplies. and some of it we just trashed. the broken cash register. the 3rd roommate. my old computer. it was hard. i don't purge very well. i kept my usb hub and some cords. i don't know if the hub will even work with my new computer, and i can't imagine needing more ports, and i'm sure usb will be obsolete soon. but still. i kept it. it's small. and it's green. goddess i loved that fad in design- the colored clear plastic fad? i still have my green microwave, blue waterheater, blue stapler, red (bubulor) silverware. but i'm sad it didn't stick longer.
anyway, i left work early cause i had my doctor's appointment. i do of course want to tell you all about my first pap experience, but even i have some limits to what i will blog about. if you really wanna know, send me an email or a comment. i'll just say that i had a very good experience. horray howard brown.
after that back home to get my patterns organized, rolled up and placed on top of the last 2 jackets and pair of pants. and had my last meeting with the fashion designer! who promptly made me realize= fuck- i still have all sorts of her supplies. i still have a big bag of her fabric. so i'm going to have to go back and see her AGAIN to give it all back. it totally sucks. i will never be free. she also was doing alot of begging and pleading with me to stay. she doesn't understand. she would think i would need a little extra money. it doesn't need to be much, just like one piece a week. i told her i'd see how it goes. NOT! i can't believe how bad she makes me feel. but it did feel good to have her miss me- she says it's hard to find good seamstresses. i do hate working for her, right? i did make the right choice, right? i do worry.
cooked potatoes and lentils with spinach and mint. it's a huge recipe- i'd forgotten. i liked last week's lentil recipe much better. oh well. after finishing far from xanadu last night (oh, mike szabo. i would do anything to make you real. anything for you.) i was grumpy about starting my new book this morning. i've explained before about how i read library books, right? i hate deciding, and i hate renewing the same books over and over, so i keep them in order on my shelf- i sort first by due date, then by how much i want to read them, from least excited to most excited. so far from xanadu (chicago is so far from xanadu! if you would come here, i'd help you forget about her) was the book i most wanted to read from last time, and now there's a dull-looking non-fiction from this library visit. it's a bit of a tome, as nonfic is wont to be, so i compromised and took the next one, which is a novel i couldn't get excited about, but i've gotten really into it. all that train riding today, work, doctor, fashion designer, home. but i'm NOT going to read now. i'm going to get on those emails. cause i'ts too late to do laundry. how come EVERY day it's too late to do laundry? i am cutting it so close on underwear. the granny panties are soon gonna come out.
