ups and downs
Got on the scale today and I gained 2 pounds.
Hmmmm.
What can I say about this?
Since I’m the only one who deposits edibles in that particular orifice - there seems to be no one else to blame.
Shucks.
Well, onto less pressing matters.
Work was alright yesterday, Harriet didn’t show so I called her and she had a friend coming in so she switched her shift. I was bummed. Of course that rotten nurse that I haven’t seen in at least 6 months (because she’s such a bitch) asked me if I had gotten married yet. ‘No, not yet,’ I replied and then quickly asked, ‘So how is your son? Did he find a good community college to go to yet?’ I figure one zinger deserves another and then I didn’t hear a goddamn thing about anything else the rest of the day. Yep, you serve it up - you might as well be willing to take it honey. She hugged me goodbye and asked me to work more hours at the end of the day. She’s a real weirdo that one. Now with Harriet gone, I guess I’ll have no choice but to be paired up with her on the weekends again. I’ve been so good to avoid it for so long.
Oh well - all good things sometimes come to an end.
Yesterday I met with the 52 year old Architect. I was working over in that area and he coincidentally called me right before I got off work. I set up a meeting and he attended. It was nice. I felt at ease, talked quite a bit and he told me that I was the first person he’s sung to (he’s been practicing his singing) - ‘I’m being quite bold’, he said. It was nice, I actually was attracted to him and it sounds like he’s a good guy. He grew up in NYC then moved to Maine and two years ago moved to California. His Mother and Brother are over on the east coast. He’s looking to partner up (he was married from 20-28 years old) and feels life would be better if he were with someone special. We chatted for a good 2 hours walking along the water. It was swell and he walked me to my car. We hugged goodbye and I told him to call me.
For once it wasn’t a goddamn nightmare. On the way home, I hit bad traffic and actually wondered if he would call me. So that’s a good sign. If he doesn’t - well no worries. At this point, I can’t play the ‘why didn’t he’ game. I accept it and move on. That e-ugly subscription ends on October 12 and then it’s a wrap.
I sent over a few houses to my agent and we’ll go see them this upcoming Friday.
Yawn.
I woke up this morning at 9am and then ate breakfast. I promptly fell back to sleep and woke up at 1:45pm. That’s fine with me, it rarely happens and I’ve got to rest up for another round trip to Denver tomorrow.
Oh well….
Let’s guess whether I’ll pick up around here or not - it’s becoming a bigger and bigger mess
A cup of tea perhaps to motivate me?

Just catching up and Annie, you do make me laugh. The description a few blogs ago of the lady with the allergic husband and incontinent dog. It sounded like you were trapped in a Monty Python sketch. And I could just see the scene of the crime: strangulation by yellow tights, detectives wading through dog peeā¦
Fingers crossed for Architect. It would be nice to find a real one.
I can’t believe it but I am talking every night to a man who lives WAY far away and having a great time. Give me the fantasy every time, babe. At the very least I don’t have to shave my legs before the phone rings!
Oh, Annie…….getting caught up on your blog is the highlight of my day; even when it’s ALL sh*t you can be so funny. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sorry it’s been so awful. That Truman C. guy just sounded creepy! Loved how you peed in 4 states; that’s an impressive feat. I also saw Burn After Reading–thought it was a hoot. Hope the new guy has called. What happened to the service with the guys from your college—or something like that? Any more speed dating plans?
