Lots of Stuff
So the weekend was great. Saturday I decided to go to the Lonestar beer bust which I havent done in a long time. It must have been the day to do something different. I ran into two people that I absolutely think the world of. The 3 of us had talked about spending some time together in the past and today when they asked me to go back with them to the place they were house sitting, I said yes.
Normally my fears of straying from the norm, being away from my stuff, and being confined to a place where it wouldnt be so easy to get home, would have cause me to say no but for some reason, my inner voice said "take a chance" and so I did.
We stopped at Blockbuster, rented a couplpe of PS2 games, and went and had fun. We played Mortal Kombat which I havent played in ages, and I really enjoyed hanging out with them. Im really glad they invited me and Im really glad I said yes.
It seems however that any time I stray from the norm, there is a shift in balance in my life. Something always counter acts my shift and this time it was an email from Ste3ve who announced he found an apartment and was moving out. It wasnt exactly the best news, nor the way I would have liked to have been told (by email) but considering the relationship we've always had (non confrontational, non communicative) its the only way I would have expected it.
So now the search for a new roommate or to change our living situation. Josh and I have talked a little about what we would like to do but havent really come to any conclusions. To me, its pretty simple since we have several people interested in moving in and one that I presented would be a win for everyone or at least no different than what it is now. We will see what happens and Ill keep thinking of other options.
As for my feelings, I know its transition that Im afraid of, and that everything will work out fine in the end. I just have to muddle through the change. In my own experience change has always ended up better once its over.
So things have disappeared around the house and Im realizing things I need to start replacing. Its a good thing I have a little extra this month and that tax time is coming up soon. Things that I need to get are sofa, dishes, pots, pans, glasses, cutting knives, silverwear, a storage rack, and a garbage can. Seems like most other stuff are just things Id like to have. These will all come in time.
As for work, Elizabeth has been out on vacation still and Im realizing now why she doesnt take lunch. The scheduling to meet with patients doesnt seem to allow it because some days (like today), there are patients scheduled to be met with all day, practically every hour on the hour. Unlike me, she will just suck it up and not take her lunch. She is a work-a-holic and with that, also works overtime because she wants to get everything done. Because she does it all, they keep feeding her more and more and dont see that they are overworking her. I know all this now because Ive taken on a lot of her stuff and my work load has taken a hit. Ill be playing catch up on my stuff when she gets back.
A few quick mentions. Last week, I spent a little more time with throbbin and we watched The Devil Wears Prada. I enjoyed seeing it again especially after reading the book. I was right when I thought they had changed some things but were also surprised to find there was a scene that had about 20 pages wrapped up in one 10 second scene.
This Thursday, Big Gay Movie Night at Castro Theater. Im going with my friend Jason. $6 for Moulin Rouge and To Wong Foo. Friday is Patrol. Meeting on Saturday morning. Fun stuff Ahead!
