wake up & smell the coffee

Sunny and a beautiful 45 degrees today. feels like Spring!

I got my ass to the new rec center to workout this morning. This place is better than any I have seen so far. Well worth the $14 million. I want to try out a spinning class this week, but I will need to get my ass out of bed at 6am. Thinking I may need a wake-up call!?

Bunny no longer wakes me up before 8:30am. I just have this personal relationship with my snooze button, since it goes off right in the middle of a great dream. How DOES my grandma do it, getting up at the crack of dawn. Oh, yeah! She goes to bed at like 8pm.

Liza stopped in to work yesterday while I was trying to sell a rug. She said she'd call me later, yeah right! I drove by her dark house at 8pm. Can you guess where she was? I just don't get how you can go out to the bar almost every night!? Well, I used to go out maybe 3-4 times a week, a year or two ago, so I have an idea. But still, she says she wants to learn the guitar with me, yet can't even commit to a day and time to practice with me. Wouldn't want to miss someone at the bar, ya know.

And Mariel stopped into work yesterday too. I think I was a little cold to her, not intentionally. But I guess she is moving to this little town (funny, the latest guy she is hot for lives there) But I still have yet to hear the details. No love lost on either of them, I guess. I am so tired of 'working' for a friendship when it is obviously one-sided. I have taken to NOT trying. I will see how great friends they both are then. I know I am an only child and have handled the 'alone' thing for 33 years now. But it is sure nice to be somewhere that you can call someone up and go do something that doesn't involve the bar scene. Someday, I suppose. I need to put my energies into finding a new job. That is my number one priority. Well, that and keeping myself sober (which means staying away from downtown).

It is hard to practice 'love thy neighbor' when they are a pain in the ass! I surely don' need it.

I am grateful for: willpower, the sun- so my bunny can lay outside in the courtyard all day, finding the best coffee in town, and not having a phone line anymore.
