where did those days go?

Logged in and realized that it's been almost a week since I last posted. Since my current unemployed status would seem to offer me time to actually come in here more often I need to think back.

Well, we had a weekend. Spent Friday night hanging out with Stuffed Animals and his hilarious wife. (she always has me giggling) This is becoming a Friday night habit I'm not willing to break.

Somewhere in there the weather started to succumb to global warming - or maybe just a shift in the jetstream - and we've been in the 50s ever since.

Spent Monday eve with Dude and Dudette, which was lovely and mellow and involved good food and good wine and great company. In fact, I think I need to start using a new nickname for them as a couple...Dudzes? The Almost Wed? Cute Young Couple? Maybe I'll keep it simple and call them the Sibs. That's what they are after all.

Headed down Cape on Tuesday so Mom could look at a new chair. Ended up spending some quality time afterwards on the Sandwich Beach boardwalk. (and enjoyed the oddly warm, albeit windy, weather)

Yesterday I had a nasty misunderstanding with a good friend, but that's all over now though it made me realize that I'm skating on rather thin ice mentally with the whole money issue and need to keep tabs on that to prevent cracks.

In an attempt to thicken the surface a bit, I did turn to the best therapy I know of and finally typed in the first chapter of the ghost story that's been bubbling around in my brain for a while now. We'll see if I actually do something with that, but it was quite nice to sit up towards the top of the parentals' garden yesterday and tap away at it.

Today I'm just glued to the computer doing the odd job search and finally updating in here. That and playing Scrabulous on Facebook. Only on my first game and already pleasantly addicted to the whole idea.

Oh, should mention that I've been accompanied on all of the above, except the misunderstanding by G. (though he did offer sane and calming comments when I mentioned it all to him) The best bit about not having a job right now is getting to spend more time with him. Also, he's been a saint over the past few months with all he's doing to help out and keep a big smile on his face when I need to see it and really deserves a special shout out for being such a good monkey.

Glad you're back to blogging. I don't comment much, I know, but I check here every day.

Oh, and it's your turn.
