Saturday, September 30th

I hope I did not embarrass myself on my last weblog (have not reread it yet). It was written after some alcohol. I spent part of the night awake worrying after that and had a horrible Friday pestering people. It didn't help, I've had to postpone my experiment, and hope to sort things out on Monday. Things got completely out of proportion too. I went running for 1 hour at the end of the day, and then out to celebrate D's birthday. We had a great dinner (at 9.30 pm) with A and A who are not a couple yet, but who will be soon. He is J's grad student, funny guy, and she is really really nice and Venezuelan and feeling a little lonely here in the States I think. We were immediately invited to her housewarming next week (go to one party and they come flowing in). Just hopes she likes reading, then I don;t have to go to some mall looking for a present. I drove to the mall in Manchester today, expecting to walk through it and do some shopping. Naive, we are in the States, we drive to each shop, a mall is a collection of shops with parking lots in front of them. I drove to 3 parking lots and by then had spent sufficient money (best not to think about how much...) to go home - well actually to get completely lost and have to go into a gas station because my atlas does not help me when I don't know which town I'm in. Came rather late to let D's dog out (T and D are in New York for his birhtday celebration). Let the dog out for quite a while and then had to go grocery shopping still. Somehow my day off went by far too quickly, tomorrow back to work again. Ugh, just looked at work e-mail by mistake - e-mail from both Ras, shut it down before i could read them, why do I do that at 10.20 pm on a Saturday. The way I feel about work at the moment I might be better off taking another day off (as I have always done). Depends a bit on my appointment with J + I can't stay home on Monday because I have to sort out________ (we are not thinking about that tonight).
Anyway bought 2 guidebooks to be able to book weekend with Blove for when he comes (and we celebrate our 5th anniversary!). And had to buy some running gear, and those 4 books are very necessary for my relaxation... Hmm, I know where all that money went. So tomorrow is the match. WE all want to win so badly, and according to A (our captain) we really are the best team in the pool (why then does he let his new love A - see above - play for the first time this season, must really be true love). We do have a new addition to the team, a soccer pro girl - I do hope with all these new women running around that I will be allowed on the pitch?
Time to go read my new books..
