This evening Jay and I are going to a visitation for one of my coworkers who passed on Monday. He was actually our office manager; very dedicated and strong willed. He was in ICU for the past two weeks for an unknown lung disease. He was a grumpy old poot but he kept us on our toes! I will miss him. Today I will say goodbye to a friend. Rest in peace Glynn West (1933-2008).

Sweet justice my eight day vacation started today! I really dont have any plans other than a little house work but i am so excited to be away from the clinic. I have never had more than three consecutive days off before now. This feels great! Just chillin', mid afternoon, still in my pjs :) Wish I had some money to go shopping.

I went to meet an advisor for UAB this morning. I was really excited to see what my options were for furthering my education. I drop off Jay, find the building, and spend the next 25 minutes trying to find a parking spot. *Crap* A little frustrated but I was still doing ok on time. I walked into the building a began looking for the suite. Circle once... circle twice... ask someone who doesnt know anything... circle a third time, NO #471!! *Crap* I wandered around for a good 20 minutes looking for this imaginary room with this imaginary woman before a kind person had pitty on me and did her best to track down the office. So I trek over to another building and briskly climb four flights of stairs to find myself out of breath and 12 minutes late. *Crap* I sit and we begin talking about my major. This deranged woman had the nerve to chuckle as she revealed that my desired major is no longer offered at UAB!! I have never felt more homicidal. My hopes were crumpled and stomped on. *Crap* So I go about running some simple errands which became pretty complicated. *Crap* I grab some lunch on my way home and find out its not what I had ordered. :( Then I have the sudden urge to use the restroom but I remembered that our toilet is on the fritz so my immediate options were to pee in the tub or in the yard. *Crap- not literally* Hmm... tub. This day is quickly becoming a nightmare!! Ever have days like this?

AARRRGGGHH! I am still very upset about a concert I went to with Jay on Monday. I know he will probably be angered that I am bringing it up again, but I need to vent! So I got two tickets to see this person that I know Jay loves (little pricey but worth it for Jay's happiness). Once we arrive at the concert site I suddenly remember that this will be the first "Hetero- Majority" event I have been to in almost 2 years. Already I feel awkward, but Im sure Jay has more to be concerned about so I act like everything is great. We find our seats and have a drink. People crowd in and the band begins. I am not very familiar with this artist but I had high hopes for the show. The first song, cant hear the lyrics; second, cant hear them; third, still cant make them out! There were loooong guitar solos that made them sound like a Jam Band (i dont really enjoy Jam Bands). The lighting was a bit much; random strobe lights through the audience caused my headache and there was an over sized disco ball above the stage that was distracting. Speaking of distracting... the lead singer had this silly way of standing and dancing, looked like they might have been constipated :) Throughout the show people moved around, talked loudly, heckled with song titles, fluffed their already large hair, kissed and groped their partners... over all were rude and disgusting! The lead band member apparently got upset by this behavior and preceded to curse at the audience and belittle them; then to top it off, they cut the show short and no encore. What a DICK! sorry:) The whole evening was a disappointment to me but Jay said he had a decent time and thats all that matters i guess. Needless to say... I dont think I will see that band again. Sorry Jay

Today I left the clinic and was walking towards my car when I saw an elderly woman standing in the middle of the parking lot just staring into space. I kinda gave her a double take but did not approach her. I sat and watched for a minute when a fellow coworker began talking to her then assisted her to the next door restaraunt. Later I returned to the clinic and promptly asked what was wrong with the woman. My coworker replied that she was mostly blind, couldn't walk well, and was confused. Apparently her husband parked the car and went into the restaraunt forgeting her there. The poor woman must have been so scared and confused out there in the blazing heat! I felt like a total chump for not seeing if she needed anything. I wish we could elect euthanasia after a certain point in our lives. I dont want to get old and forget friends and family or be in pain.

... that is the question?! Lately I have felt a need to seek out my religious side. I dont know why, but it gives my something to do i guess. So I have been reading some books about homosexuality and spirituality; although they are intriguing I still feel torn about the whole idea. I went to this really great GLBT friendly church a few times and I love the atmosphere but I am not sure I want to be a part of that yet. I scheduled a meeting with the pastor and he was very open to my thoughts and seemed to resolve them... for the day. I was raised in a Mormon family and I just dont have the most positive outlook on religion. I feel conflicted about being a "Gay Christian".

My partner complains that I am not a good blogger because I dont obcess about it as much as she does. So now I am blogging about completely random and uninteresting things; you can thank Jay :) It is quite rare to have an off- day for me. Today I enjoyed sleeping in a little, started some laundry, did some regular house chores, got kinda crafty and made a new dog bed, watched the news and read a little of a book. Jay will be home soon and we plan to go to the gym to play raquet ball; or at least attempt to play :) We are going to a football thing for her brother tonight after dinner. I may call up some pals to hang out with later tonight but the piggy bank is empty... so we'll see. You happy now Jay?! A completely random chat about my worthless day that I am sure no one wants to read about :)

Current Mood: bored

My partner got me interested in this blogging thing. So I am here to blog about random things whether you want to read it or not! :)
