A Little Break from Work

The hot water heater in this condo turns 10 years old today and is feeling it. On Monday, my cute plumber, R, helped me drain the thing but that didn't help, it still seems to hold only half of what it should be holding.

I tried to sleep at his house again last night but couldn't sleep so came home at one in the morning. This time I told him I was leaving even though I had to wake him up. Last time, I snuck out without waking him and he had a bad dream about me in which he was angry at me and chasing me around.

It feels like D has been gone forever. He's been working 10 days on, 4 days off and it's brutal for both of us. We both have next week off completely.

Last Tuesday night I went down to the city for his work holiday party. It was pretty fun, but weird since he's been involved in a little work drama. He has a crush on a co-worker who had an almost fling with another co-worker but she has a crush on the girlfriend of a third co-worker.... She seemed to avoid D until I stepped out of the room.

The drinks were double strength and there wasn't enough food, even standing by the kitchen door where the hors orderves were carried out from, so I got a good buzz on.

Saturday, R and I drove up to Ukiah to my littlest sister's holiday party. The food was decent but not very satisfying. The wine was good and so was the band. We all ended up dancing like the retards we usually pretend not to be. We crashed at John's house and went to John's friends' house in the morning for a feast of a brunch he made: sangria, fresh squeezed orange juice, crepes suzette, potatoes, and eggs florentine.

It was weird getting buzzed before noon and meeting so many new people.

It makes me feel better about wanting to move up there, knowing there are people who I could probably relate to.

But right now I really need to get back to work.
