Happenings
The Peedger and I celebrated one year together on Saturday. I think both of us are none too suprised that we’ve managed to stay together for a whole year, especially living in the same house for most of that time. It’s astonishing to me. And although there’s been a lot of unhappy times, we are planning to try for another year. He’s a quality product, the Phineas. I have no idea why any of the women in Chicago never recognized that.
There’s a magnet in me that’s constantly attracted to the entity Depression. I always feel a pull towards unhappiness and it takes so much effort to resist. I had a moment this weekend when I just gave in to being unhappy, but only let myself wallow for a half-hour or so. Then I went outside. Everything was much better.
Today’s the last day of my contract with a division of United Airlines. The search for jobbity resumes. I would really like to have a job by the end of March. That will make a year in Chicago, and I’d really like to start my second year here not hating this city. I need money in order to make friends. That’s how it works. You get a job, you get money. The money allows you to go out, do neat stuff. That’s when you make friends. So, job, money, friends.
Reading: I went to the library this weekend and got three more Barbara Pyms. Currently reading an early book with a really goofy title I can’t remember.
Eating: This morning, I’ve had a nanner and a couple xmas cookies. Last night, I took a hot bath with a bunch of ginger in it. You should try it. You sweat a lot. I look wonderful!
Drinking: Woodchuck hard apple cider. Yum! There’s nothing better to drink in the bathtub. Also, we bought a good bottle of champ and a cheap bottle of champ for our anniversary. The cheapie turned out to be wonderfully pearry and sweet. Go, Ballatore.
