Aug. 6th, 2005 09:48 am Well, It's again been awhile since I've made a post. A bunch of
things have been going on with us. On the personal side, I've filed for
bankruptcy and with the help of friends I was able to pay the lawyers
fee. I want to thank publicly both Karl & John as well as Mark
& Tony. Good friends from unexpected places. I think back over the
last six months and wonder if we'd be as well off without them in our
lives.
Last weekend Josh and I went to visit Mark and Tony down in Connecticut. It was a nice break from the routine at the house. They've such a nice, frindly house. We got there just past noon and were treated to a nice burger lunch. We wiled away the afternoon chatting about many different things before heading down to play with their ferrets; Val and Nibbles. ^_^ Such cute little ferrets! And having a ferret nuzzle your ear TICKLES. For some reason they both wanted up my pants leg.
Later that evening we had a nice chicken dinner after humoring me by watching 'Bedknobs & Broomsticks'. I really like that movie a lot. It's very whimsical and I like the musical numbers peppered throughout it. Our last activity that night was to go for a soak in their hot tub. I hadn't been in one since I was in my teens and we were at the Playboy club in N.J. Mostly we sat there just enjoying the experience. While we sat there we saw three shooting stars. That was very cool!
We finally climbed out and headed to bed. I tried watching a bit of TV but it bored me very very quickly. We slept pretty well and got up at a decent hour Sunday morning to the aroma of fresh baked scones. (blueberry and vanilla) They made a really awesome breakfast when combined with fireball tea. Finally though, it was time to head back home and we arrived late in the afternoon.
Monday was work followed by another road trip for me. I was heading out to meet an on-line friend that I had planned to meet at AnthroCon this year. I think this worked out better though. We actually had time to sit and talk and get to know each other a bit. His name is Chris and he's nineteen. We went for a late supper at Denny's before returning to his house and spending hours just getting to know each other better. He has a cool room with furry stuff everywhere. ^_^
I think we finally went to bed around 1 a.m. and slept til nearly 10 a.m. the next morning. We got cleaned up and headed out to a Chinese buffett for lunch before going over to the mall. We were looking for a new shower head since his old one broke while I was trying to adjust it for my height. Finally around 2:30 p.m. I headed back home.
Once home I picked up Josh and Chris to take Chris to the doctor. He's been suffering a rash for the last couple months and I finally had the money to take him. After the doctor looked him over she announced that he had scabies and that the rest of us were infested too. >.< So I now faced getting creme and sprays to rid us of the bugs. Still, it could have been worse. We've spent the rest of this week getting the house and us cleared up.
Wednesday was another day filled with running about trying to get things done. I took Chris and Josh over to the Department of Health for STD / HIV tests. I'd expected to get tested as well but all their testing slots were filled. Another friend of mine asked me to take him and I'll get tested when he does. We were there until almost 4:30 and I had to run the guys home quickly since my appointment with the lawyer was for 5:00 p.m.
The appointment went well and all the papers got signed. I handed over the checks and I was told that I could expect to be in court sometime in mid September. I also will have control of my bank accounts again in about a week. That'll be a relief.
Thursday was an uneventful work day and yesterday was pretty good as well. I got my three month review at Home Depot and it went VERY well. I was pleased with the progress that I've made and they are taking me seriously when I tell them that I want to move up to a department head position. Last night when I got home the place was a bit of a shambles as they'd been cleaning and treating the apartment. I was truly worn out and surprised myself by going to bed around 9 p.m. I slept for most of twelve hours and feel somewhat refreshed today.
And that brings us to the end of the week. I've a few days yet until my next day off and I imagine that work will fill my days. Sam is off with Lar for the weekend. So there isn't much to distract me at the moment. I've been chatting to Ian a bit this last week but he's seemed a bit distant. *sighs* I think he's unsure of himself and doesn't want to bore me / upset me. *hugs for the Ian*
Well, I need to get running. Breakfast is needed and work is at 1 p.m.
*hugs everyone*
