I need to start writing daily again, as the name implies rather than skipping out on it. Having days and days to go back over is annoying. >.<;

 

Monday was a pretty good day. I eventually did all of my running around. Way later than what I had originally wanted, but it did get done, which was fantastic. I biked to the post office and got the phone shipped off. I even got a confirmation email from Verizon, so it’s officially official that it’s on its way.

 

I rode the short distance to my bank to deposit the money Zane had given me for the car insurance. I had forgotten to do that when I deposited Marcus’ money for the commission. But all of my cash is now safely tucked away in a bank and simply floating numbers attached to my name so if there is ever an attack on our banking system which causes it to crash I can rest easy knowing that I will have nothing left to my name. It’s sort of creepy when you stop and really think about it…

 

From the bank I went to the UPS store. I’ve never biked down that particular street before, but it wasn’t bad. Pretty much a straight shot. The gentleman helping me was extremely nice and we got the last cross-stitch gift I made packaged up and shipped out. That was a huge, massive task off of my list. One that has been sitting there for about a week if not longer.

 

Once that was done I went across the plaza to the Publix store. I wanted to get something to drink before heading home, and possibly something to eat. Something light that wouldn’t bog me down too much. I ended up getting a Summer Roll from the sushi display along with 3 bottles of Gatorade. They were buy 3 for $4. Pretty good deal and I now have a stash at home since I only drink about a quarter of a bottle at a time.

 

When I was done eating and drink and resting I biked back to the apartment where I vacuumed the living room. I made a small donation box since I want to donate my cross stitch books and Zane has a few items he wants to get rid of as well. I messaged Shane about meeting up for a biking adventure, but haven’t heard back from him. I’m not sure if it would be appropriate to invite Frank. I’m still not sure where I stand with him any longer.

 

When Zane got home I went out and did the laundry. Actually, I first went to Moe’s and had dinner using the gift card my mom had gotten me. It was nice being able to sit alone. I wish I had taken my headphones though. Creating my own little bubble of sound would have been icing on the cake. It was a good dinner regardless and I’m happy that I got some time alone like that.

 

I had been fighting off a gradually growing migraine, and it didn’t let up at all as the night progressed. I went to the laundry mat and took care of the clothes, cross stitching while I was there, but by the time I got back to the apartment the only thing I wanted was darkness and silence. I went to the room after drinking more water and tried to sleep. After about an hour I got up, got an ice pack and went back to bed, with more water.

 

Zane came to sleep at some point. And that was Monday.

 

Tuesday was a good day, too. Without headaches! : D

 

Zane and I woke up and made plans to do all of our running around before the afternoon since he had plans with Trevor. We went to breakfast at a bagel shop, then continued with our tasks by going to a new oriental market. I don’t like it as much as the other one we have gone to. There wasn’t a very large selection of fresh produce which is what I was interested in.

 

Since we were in the area we went to Avalon. I wrote about it a bit when Zane and I first started dating. It’s a metaphysical store that he wanted to take me to. When he became unemployed he didn’t want to go because he didn’t have money and I guess we’ve both forgotten that there are actually places we want to go and things we want to do together.

 

So we went there yesterday. It was interesting. I’m not really sure what else to say about it. I was hoping to find a torc. But they didn’t have any. I guess that’s a good thing. It would have been close to $100 if not over, I’m sure. And really torcs are supposed to be given as gifts. I’m not sure if it would hold the right significance if I bought it for myself. But then, I’m not really sure who would buy it for me. It’s not like anyone in my life is into the Celtic way of life. And then what happens if this person gets it for me and we have a falling out? What do I do then? Would it still be right to wear it?

 

Bah, human relations and their complicatedness. >.<;

 

Anyway, there wasn’t a torc so it’s really academic at this point.

 

We stopped at the mall so I could pick up my tops. I tried them on while I was there. I didn’t like two of them. Not a big surprise that I wanted to return part of my order. I’m really picky with stuff like that. I loved one of the tops though, and the store happened to have the red one I wanted, but hadn’t been able to get because the online store was sold out. Score! I even liked it after trying it on, double score!

 

By the time that was done I was exhausted. Seriously, driving home was hard.

 

I ended up taking a four hour nap, and I regret nothing.

 

I talked to my mom after I woke up while drinking coffee since I hadn’t had any yet. While I was on the phone with her I got a call from Clavan. Once my mom and I said goodbye I called him back to see what was up. He wanted to clarify that I was taking next week off, so everything is squared away with that. I’m going to be going in on Wednesday since that’s the only day during the first week that CRI1 has lab, instead of coming in on Friday. That’s fine in my book.

 

I had a message from Terri asking if we were still on for training on Thursday. I’m pretty sure I’m not prepared, but I said that would be fantastic. No time like the present to get back into the swing of things… >.<;

 

I replied to a handful of posts that I really enjoyed after that. By the time I was done Zane was back home. Since this week is his week for groceries I took his card to go out and finish the shopping. I ran over to the produce store to pick up the things we hadn’t been able to get at the oriental market. I went to Wal-Mart too since there were a few things that I needed that Publix most likely wouldn’t have had.

 

Things like masking tape for my cross stitchings and in/out paper trays. Zane and I want to try something to see if it helps with organization on my computer desk. Having two people use it is going to drive me crazy and not in a good way since I view it as my space.

 

I was able to get the last bit of grocery done while at Wal-Mart, which was nice, but it was pretty late by the time I was done, and I knew Zane hadn’t started any sort of cooking since I had part of the groceries he needed, and because he was in the middle of working on a project with Trevor.

 

I decided to stop at Publix to pick up a rotisserie chicken with some sides for dinner. I got a mandolin slicer while I was there. It’s been something I’ve wanted for a while. We were going to wait until the lease renewed and we were in the middle of buying stuff for the kitchen anyway, but I want to make home made apple crisps this week and I wanted to be able to have pretty apple slices rather than jagged misshapen apple blobs.

 

Ok, I can cut better than blob shapes, but it made me happy to buy it, so I did. And I’m still sitting right where I want to be as far as finances go, which makes me feel good.

 

After all of that I came back home and put all the food stuffs away. I made a plate to eat and watched an episode of Beautiful Bones with Zane. I tried going to sleep after that but to no avail. I ended up sitting on the couch with him for a bit, just chatting, no tv or anything in the way. It was nice. I think we had a good conversation.

 

I tried going back to sleep after that, but again, couldn’t.

 

I ended up sleeping on the couch so my tossing and turning wouldn’t bother Zane when he came to bed.

 

His morning has been frustrating and I’m trying to not let it bother me. I’m still a little eh from not sleeping well myself. I’m not really sure what to do with my day, but that’s mostly because I haven’t written a to-do list yet. I haven’t even finished my coffee. It’s been sitting next to me growing cold as I type.

 

So I guess I should go for now, figure out my day and what to do. It’s day two of my actual vacation. I want to do something other than sleep during it.
