  • When my coworker told me he was sick...I immediately knew I would be sick in a few days.


    So I had to call out Friday from work...which was a good thing cuz I really needed to rest. But I did go to work Saturday morning and what would usually take an hour to finish took like 2.5 hours for me.  It was hard to concentrate when you're not really feeling great, chest is congested....and so much "cleaning up" to do.  It's a good thing I don't need supervision.


    After work, I headed home and started cooking. I decided the comfort food to bring at Ed's "Charlie Brown X-mas Party" was fried rice. Thanks Ed for the John Legend DVD (I love it!) and the CD (I still have to listen to this group).  It was good to see Karolynn too and I wanted to give her gift, but she wouldn't accept (cuz she didn't bring anything then). We agreed to exchange when I see the gang next week. Cheryl spent the past few days taking care of sick Geoff so I gave her my gifts to each of them (since I really didn't want it hanging out in my room any longer) lol.  While the rest of the group headed out to see the x-mas light show in Los Feliz, I headed back to Hollywood to hang out with Judy, Woosa, Deborah and Megan.  We ended up at St. Nick's with the goal of hooking Deborah, but she ended up leaving early and we just hung out at the bar chatting with the many men there....it's definitely a sausage fest in that bar! But not as bad as that bar/restaurant in Long Beach (which escapes my mind at this time).


    I'm still sending out x-mas cards!


    Before I forget, thanks Shacy for the chat. I know I have a lot to think about in terms of what I want to do. Do I keep working these ridiculous hours? Do I really want to go back to school? Where do I want to buy my first house? Where will I be travelling? Yup...a lot going through my mind.  Our chat reminded me of years past...of Jean...and how glad I am that things ended up the way they did.  My biggest problem is learning to let go. Oddly enough when it's a girlfriend that's done wrong, I am disappointed and can say good-bye...but why is it so difficult with guys?


    Sometimes I wish I could see the world through my 19 y.o. eyes.  Of course there are good things that come about experiencing life's disasters and joys.  And there's something to be said about overcoming a traumatic event.  Sometimes I worry I won't be as strong the next time a disaster arise.


    So I didn't get called to come in for jury duty. Was I lucky! I could've sworn I was going to get called cuz I had to report to the LA courthouse...but nope...didn't get called....thank God my prayers were heard. So I went to church right after work. With my new parking situation, I can now make it to mass right after work...I think this will be a regular activity of mine.  Lately I've been feeling very spiritual...all these signs telling me to be more faithful and that God is watching over me.  Lately, I've been feeling like I just gotta take that leap of faith!


    I'm already making plans for next year...of course one of my New Year's resolution is to lose weight (as it is every year...), attend mass, workout more, travel some more.


    Okay...that's it. I'm gonna go and nap now...that or do more planning.
