friday night i worked late, got to the mans house around 10. he had dinner waiting to be prepared. fajita and
creole steak (for him) and fajita
chicken (for me), grilled of course. big
portabello mushroom caps. a bottle of Don Julio
tequila (yum. i'm glad we can get that despite the
agave shortages) to round out the evening.
saturday was
gorgeous. woke up relatively early, headed to a
gun show in dale city, then on to the man's parents house then we went to get
manicures. the little vietnamese lady obviously didn't understand me when i said i didn't want anything except to strengthen my
natural nails. she sat me down and much to my
horror promptly chopped off my pretty natural nails. i now have french tips and
acrylic. they are longer than my natural nails were and i am still getting used to typing. i will probably file them a bit shorter this evening.
sunday morning i woke up in a pretty crappy mood, and was looking forward to heading home to smoke
pot and sulk. then i realized that was a pretty shitty plan and so i decided to take up george on his invitation to go out on his new 25" power
boat. the man and i got dressed, drove to occoquan, and had some drinks (no good
tequila, so we had
kamikazes) at the waterfront
cantina since george was (as always) late. it was
gloomy, but as soon as we got on the boat and prepared to head out, the skies cleared and it turned into a wonderful
sunny warm day,
perfect for boating. we zoomed around, then settled at a nice swimming spot. i was the only one to get in, and that was only briefly as i am a
chicken about swimming.
sunday was the cream of the crop.
so now, it's
monday morning and i'm back at work. i got here late as i woke up in pain and headed to the doctor's office to be looked at. i will find out this afternoon for sure if i need
surgery again. i am hoping there is another
explanation than residual
gallstones, and if not i am praying there are non-surgical options. regardless, i am in
high spirits
today.
since today i'm working with doctors, i will hold off on my must-do-today list until tomorrow. the plan for today was to work out my
tax situation (fed taxes weren't filed correctly or completely,
state weren't filed at all, but they owe me so it shouldn't be a big issue). i need to find a tax man to help me out. tomorrow.
last
thursday i sat down and took care of my
snail mail and
bills, and that is all set.
now, all that out of the way, i can see there's some new
controversy about
E2 going on regarding
free speech,
editor functions, etc. all i have to say about the issue is that as much as a
noder might
bitch about how others conduct themselves on
E2, not much is really going to change. people will
vote how they want to
vote,
edit and
nuke what they want to, and
cool the stuff they think is cool.
bitch all you want but you'll only get downvoted on those
bitch nodes. do what YOU want to do within
E2. if, at some point, it stops being
fun for you, move on. but
E2 is how it is.
well, the doctors appointments sucked. they decided they wanted abdominal CT scans, with
barium and contrast dye. barium sucks ass. watery white
glue with a bit of
coconut flavouring. man that shit sucks. but for as much as it sucked, everything looks normal. that's deffinitely outstanding news.
