Continuation of the Fall…..

Another month blurs by….

another trip home, wrought with joy and sadness (always…)

Another of my longtime friends tied the knot. Three weddings in 4 weeks. Madness. But…now it seems the marriage season has come to an end, and its back-back-back to normal.

Otherwise, things have been going well. The newfound raise has been helpful….especially since I have begun house-shopping. I’m still a little tentative to put down my roots here in Northeast Missouri instead of PA…but I’m definitely looking.

I found my eyeglasses, after a year of looking. Turns out they were in the living room the whole time, just hidden behind my computer monitor. So silly that I couldn’t find it for a year……

In other news: I went to the doctor and took advantage of my free yearly physicals. They all drew my blood. I hate that, and wanted to punch the nurse. She had practically zero people skills…it went something like this:

Me: Ok. I have an irrational fear of needles. How long is this gonna take?
Nurse: 2-3 Minutes.
Me: Not gonna happen. Seriously. Not gonna happen. Try again.
Nurse: 30 seconds if I go fast.
Me: 30 I can handle.

She sticks it in. I scream like a little bitch. My legs kick. Time goes so slowly…but it really only lasted about 30 seconds. (I’ll give her credit for that)
Then she pulls it out. She hands me something (i never looked) and said "put pressure here….moving my hand to my other arm"
Me: NO!!!!! I CAN’T DO THAT! (In a panic-stricken voice)
Nurse: Ok..sorry…I’ll do it.

Finally, it passes. I get up I get rdy to leave. She starts draining my blood from the needle into some medical device.
I scream out: "I CAN’T SEE THAT!!" And I kneel down on the floor…already light-headed.

That too, finally passes…and I make it home, unscathed.

I get a letter in the mail from the doc: "your results are great; keep doing what you are doing." Awesome.

I also went to the dentist; had my teeth cleaned. Tried out laser dentistry for the first time. Its weird. Also uses vibration. Who knew that a vibrating object that touches your teeth reverberates in your skull. It was soooo weird.

New dentist set up for me to get a new mouthguard. I’m so excited since I haven’t had one for a few years (Marley ate it back in 2007….I likely wrote an entry about it…)

-In other words, I’ve accomplished alot these past two weeks. A and I are still together. Though it comes and goes at times. We’ll see. I’m worried that I’m in the mode where I want to settle down and she happens to be in the right place/right time. I, of course, always want more than that….

Though her big drama is that she was fired from being "house mother" of her sorority. She was all upset and I tried to comfort her. But honestly, I had prevent myself from rolling my eyes.

-I had the pleasure of spending thursday night/friday in Saint Louis. I attended a CLE at Harrah’s casino. In other words…the state paid for my hotel at Harrahs. It was pretty nice. I managed to gamble a little, but didn’t really win. A likes to play slots. I find them mindnumbingly boring.

After my CLE we had dinner at Dave and Buster’s with her friends. It was a good time. Won lots of games, and Dave and Busters food is seriously underrated. I had a Big-Wave-Dave….which made me think of N (C’s co-worker/friend), and the first time I met her. She is the only other person I’ve met is loves the "Big Wave Dave" drink. It takes like the blue nerds candy. So good.

Saturday we just hung out at my apartment; watched Iron man 2 on blu-ray, and had dinner. After dinner she went home, and we haven’t talked since.

I wasted away the sunday watching TV, checking my email, and shopping. Nothing to stellar, but I figure after all I accomplished over the past week or so…more than deserved.

Tommorrow is another day at court. I hope it goes well.

Hope everyone is having a great fall season. It seems most of my favorites over the years have cut-back on their writings..not that I can blame anyone…since I haven’t been the most regular-writer myself these past few months. It was alot easier to write when all I had to worry about was a few classes and a few grades. Everything is so much more serious now….but I suppose thats what I asked for.

Take care everyone.

Oodles o’ love,
