I never write this blog with the idea that anyone actually is listening but my computer. But I suppose that's how cyberspace works. You put it out there and it's there. This blog is that silent listener for me. It's my horrendously underpaid psychiatrist.

My Clogged Toilet

Well, my plumbing happened to go out the weekend that my parents were here visiting. Yeah, it went out on Friday and of course no one could fix it over the weekend so I patiently waited until Monday (today) for someone to fix it only to come home to a post-it note on my door informing me that the plumbing blockage is now a city issue and it is unknown when exactly it will be fixed. I hope the city of Eugene pulls through on this one. It's starting to not be as fun to take random adventures to businesses just to use their toilet.
Tonight I made bug-juice chicken wings to share with Jackie and Jef. That was always a dish that I loved whenever my mom made it. I think I succeeded alright too as they were pretty tasty.
As much as I try to keeo myself occupied and do things for myself so that I forget to think about my old boyfriend he still sneaks into my mind fairly often. I find that the times I most often notice myself thinking of him are the first thing in the morning when I wake up and also (unfortunately) sometimes when I am onstage (from which I have to pull myself out and try to bring myself back into the play as quickly as possible. I will miss the play quite a bit after it is over. Mostly for the social aspects of it. I like being able to see and check up with everyone in it as often as I get to now. Will have to make more of an effort to do that later on.
Being single has felt strange so far. Not really much different than before on that day to day basis because really, I was pretty much on my own in Eugene anyways, but it is strange in that way that I don't have a friend to confide in all of the time and someone who seems genuinely interested in my life and wants to see me.
I am finding my joy in some of the simple things in life right now. Growing seeds, listening to music, watching a good movie, playing a game, eating good food, feeding my fish. Too bad my fish seems to be on the lurch right now too. Alas, cruel world. I will conquer you yet... it will just take me some time.
