C'mon Spring

I could hear some birds chirping just a few moments ago as I took the dog out for a walk. Not dark at 7:00am anymore.

Still fighting the occasional wave of morning nausea from my hormones. I take my pill in the morning, but sometimes it doesn't kick in fast enough. I would try taking them at night but my bedtime is more erratic than my waking hours. This morning a bad one while getting the dog his breakfast. Looking at the dog food caused a huge wave of stomach upheaval, when normally it doesn't bother me at all. I look at the calendar and it makes sense, right now is when my body would be ovulating, or trying to ovulate.

Reconnected with an old friend this past weekend. We used to be very close, and we worked together at two different companies over the years. She left town 5 years ago in a flurry of quitting her job, cheating on her boyfriend, doing lots of cocaine, and burning bridges with most of her friends.

She never did anything to me to cause me to be angry with her, so I am one of the few people she could get together with here. Sitting down with her at the restaurant after 5 years it felt more like 5 days had gone by. She is full of regrets over some of her actions back then, and I did what I could to console her. She is making amends where she can, but some people hold onto grudges too tightly and won't even let her make an amend.

Comedy stuff happening. An old friend of mine and Jeckyll's owns a bar. He contacted me to say he wanted to start doing a comedy night there, did we know anyone?

Did we know anyone?!

Jeckyll decided he was too busy to want to do it so I threw Scumbags hat in the ring. He really wanted it. Two nights a week where one night he gets a $20 bar tab and the other night actually gets paid cash money. Once a week, money in his pocket.

He and I both know he would probably not have gotten the job if I hadn't put in a good word for him. I've been thanked profusely. He is so excited to be embarking on this adventure, and tonight is the first "real" show. He's asked me no less than 4 times if I'm going to be there. Of course I'm going to be there. Jeckyll will be performing, my friend who owns the bar will be there, and Scumbag will be running the show. How could I miss that?

Thankfully February is going quickly. March, April, and May are all going to be busy. Life just keeps on plowing along.

  1. Life does just plow along, doesn't it? And at an alarming rate, sometimes. Crazy what your hormones do to you, they do crazy things to me, too, but never the nausea. I don't get why hormones must be so difficult to deal with/manage sometimes.

  2. Glad that you were able to get some work for SB. Burning bridges is what so many with addictions do. I remember the amends is for me--to keep my side if the street clean.
