OMG I am so tired. I slept horribly the last two nights. I was up about every 30 minutes from 2:30 on this morning. When I was still wide awake at 5 I got my ass out of bed and went for a 30 minute kinda run. It was 73 degrees with 90+% humidity. I did intervals and probably walked more than I ran towards the middle hilly part. I had the brilliant idea of wearing my hair straight today, lol. It took forever for my hair to dry and it was unruly by the time I got out of my car at work. I tried anyway.
I had the strangest experience last night. I went to walk on the TM and decided to stop at the Neighborhood Skank-Mart that was across the road. I don't normally shop in that part of town because it is a little sketchy but it wasn't even close to dark. Of course I was wearing running clothes (lets make these shorts long enough to cover everyone's ass cheeks and roomy enough to move in said no running short designer EVER), shorts and a tank top. As I was walking down one of the aisles these two guys who where eating chips out of the package right there in the store "cat called" me. I ignored them and kept walking. There were kids screaming at the top of their lungs and pushing each other in carts, I could have recorded it and used it as a PSA for birth control. I checked out with my debit card and got cash back. As I was getting in my car starting to close the door a lady kind of comes out of nowhere and gets to where I can't close car door and asks me if I had a cigarette. I have bad asthma and I am a (half-ass) runner so I instinctively blurted out "oh hell no" and she kind of was caught off guard and took a step back. I shut my door and locked it. There was a freaking stupid family behind my car loading their groceries and their kid was running loose so I had to sit there until I was sure they were loaded up. The lady got into another car and drove off. I told Dennis about it and he asked my what I did about the guys in the store. I told him I would have been offended if I were younger but now that I am old and fat I told him thank you and offered him my number (just joking). He told me that he highly suspected that the lady saw me get cash from the cashier and followed me to my car with the intentions of taking my purse. She wasn't expecting me to respond the way I did (do I look like a smoker?) so it kind of caught her off guard. Dennis told me I am not allowed to go to that store by myself again. Fine by me.
I am not working tomorrow, it is the memorial service for my friend and I just took all day off. It will be a hard day. I hope it is an upbeat service. Marsha was so much fun. I hope they just have people get up and tell stories and don't have a preachy service. They planned the service for Friday at 12:30 because they knew she would want everyone to have an early weekend.
Tonight I am going to a party at the Hard Rock Casino for the people that are volunteering at the Center of the Universe concert this weekend. Marsha loved to go play slots, I am not a gambler; I'm a shopper, but while I am there I am going to put $10 or $20 in a machine for her. If I win I will donate the money to the charity she supported. I don't think she would have wanted it any other way.
The concert is going to be fun, I am looking forward to it. I am not taking my sister btw. I hope they have me in the a/c because I plan on being out there all day Saturday. They will have a tent set up with free food, beer, energy drinks, and of course water. The good thing is I don't get really hungry when it is hot outside so maybe I won't overdo on the grub. There is going to be food trucks there too, that is dangerous for me.
Still no luck getting an appointment for a fill. A friend at work said Dr. Joe Bob does her husbands bypass aftercare. I called and they want $400 for a fill!!! I am really damn close to getting a needle and some saline and just filling it my own dang self. Since Dr. A has been gone for 2 weeks I am sure that put him behind a month. Who would have thought that such a simple little procedure would be such a pain in the ass? It would be cheaper to just buy bigger clothes at this point.
Not sure what else the weekend has in store. Maybe I will go hang out at the pool after the funeral. Monday I have a counseling session and I have to take Hunter for his monthly arthritis shot. I asked the therapist if I could bring Hunt if I am running behind and she said it was no big deal, she is a pet friendly office. I kind of think it would be fun to take him since it will be a pretty heavy session after the loss of my friend. I will have to see how he is doing though, at 13 he just doesn't get around like he used to.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Holy cow I thought it was expensive for me to get a fill. Thank goodness I don't pay $400. Sounds like the concert will be fun! ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteGotta agree with Dennis - stay out of the sketchy areas of town by yourself Lady. We need ya!! /hugs
