Friday plans (changed)

Actually, I didn’t have any plans for Friday (and that is today since it’s nearly 1 now). The interview Thursday, the practise for it Wednesday and the acquisition of the purchase order for my meds were planed. The outing Monday night/Tuesday morning wasn’t planned,, but I did go and look after J and drive her around, which killed the days, and Monday I gave my biker friend a lift to pay bills.

J works at a donation and distribution place; they get food and clothing and household stuff to spread around – got myself 2 sets of motel towels, big, small and wash clothes, from her, and food for the fridge recently, an excuse to drive down there and see her.

She called Thursday evening and is working by herself Friday, and asked if I’d like to come see her, so I’ll do that Friday – and yes, it is an excuse to go hang out with her – I do like her, and she won’t be drinking while she works, so that’s another, better looking side of her. I’ve known her since 1996; I met her and my biker friend shortly after I came back from Japan.

(that period of my life is a story I’ve been meaning to write, lest anyone get the idea that I’m like, perfect or smart or anything)

My building is having a potluck dinner tomorrow, but if you remember the Thanksgiving dinner we had, when I took the cook to the store to get the food, and no seat was saved for me and another woman told me "you can’t sit there!" when I took an empty seat, you’ll understand why I’m not enthusiastic about meals here anymore (although, I am becoming one of the longest term residents here – I should have some status, meow).

Friday will be kind of a play day for me, I guess, since I don’t have anything that I HAVE to do. I took care of getting the meds on Sunday – Adderall is a Class 2 drug, Amphetamine, and Federal rules say I can’t get more until I’ve nearly run out, to keep people from selling them (it works for me, so I’m not going to sell it, but…). I went to the pharmacy and took the purchase order and the scripts with me, and I will be able to get them on Sunday with no problem.

There is some value in smiling and being "nice"; assholes finish last in the real world, and being nice is my nature, when I’m "level", and even most of the time when I’m not. I think mom would be proud of me.

A good thing; she died 36 years ago today. Thirty-six years, Wow. That long, eh? It doesn’t seem like "yesterday" and hasn’t for a long time, but I’ve never forgotten, and Mays have been, or used to be, less than good months for me. This one is looking good though, and that’s nice.

Play day tomorrow, heh heh.

Bedtime now though, or very shortly; "Friends" is on.

yeah yeah, I know, how 90s, but I was in Japan then and…. well I feel like watching TV, since I spent a very long time reading all serious stuff – more research fro my Atomic Tourism piece.

Stay tuned.

Well. A phone call woke me up; apparently there’s some kind of publicity thing going on down there, and J will be Busy, and I shouldn’t come down. Ok, I just woke up anyway, but now I have to think of something else to do. Besides drink my coffee. Took the meds – forget once and it’s a great incentive not to again! It’s grey. dry, and cold outside – well, not COLD, but cold. I’ll think of something to do after I wake up more

Something I’ve been meaning to write? Got take some pictures? Read for awhile, anyway.

Handy dandy phrase: onwards.
