Paper done and submitted a few hours ago.
I had a grapefruit for dinner again - though I had it at 9:45 as opposed to any normal dinner time.
I have to see if my laundy is ready to go in the dryer since I have no clothes to wear tomorrow otherwise.
Tomorrow night I am having dinner with my co-worker and her husband since I am pet-sitting and apartment-sitting for them next week and weekend. That will be a nice respite from the daily grind.
I just ordered a few books from Amazon.com:
Speaking of Sadness : Depression, Disconnection, and the Meanings of Illness by David Karp
To Kill a Mockingbird : The 40th Anniversary Edition by Harper Lee
The Circle of Reason by Amitav Ghosh
The Art of Worldly Wisdom by Baltasar Gracian
Those are my birthday presents to myself.
I talked to my friend LJ tonight - online and on the phone. He had read the rants and wanted to check up on me. And give me the chance to vent. I maintained that it’s the same old shit, and that if he’s heard it once, he’s heard it a million times. He insisted that he wanted to listen and be a sounding board.
Sometimes having just one person express the sentiment - and quote Dionne Warwick’s “That’s What Friends Are For” at you - can brighten things up a little. He did quote Dionne at me. But I quoted the Backstreet Boys back at him, so we’re even.
Now I’m going to check the laundry and get to bed since I need to stop at the bank in the morning and withdraw some cash money for charging up a MetroCard and lunch and stuff.
