No Rest for the Wicked

I have had a four day weekend, excluding the Open House party I was a guest but ended up working at.

Did I rest at all? Relax? Paint? Decompress? Oh no, I’m far too busy for that. Silly me. God forbid I just give myself me time. What an idea.

This morning I decided today would be a fantastic Me day.

But then when I went to start my car it wouldn’t. Not immediately.

Long story short, my ignition switch needs to be changed. Ok. I can do this? Sure. I have a parts car for this very reason.

Well then you have my Brother, my Father, and M also in the mix. Sounds like way too many chiefs and not enough indians. And it was. And it was a nightmare. I got into a screaming match with my Father which nobody won and I still don’t have a new ignition.

I played a little Fall Out 3 which was fun but I’m just completely emotionally wrecked.

Now I have a long week ahead of me. I work M-W at the Bar, per usual, then Friday is my BFF’s birthday and we’re doing a big day trip to the City for a Giants game and I want her birthday to be awesome, but I really don’t have the spare cash to be spending at a Giant’s game when I have to get an ignition switch put in ASAP. Actually, it should have been changed MONTHS ago, but I’m a fucking procrastinator and I’m reaping my rewards.

So that was my Sunday. I hope yours was better.

Out of My Mind

So much in so few days. I haven’t had a chance to paint anymore due to my work schedule. Which is sad sad times, but now that I have the next few days off I should be able to make time!

My brother arrived today from Oregon. I can’t begin to express how happy I am that he’s here. He’s one of my favorite people in the whole world and just having him around for the next few weeks will help me clear my head and get back to some kind of normalcy. I hope.

M and I went and got dinner at Shadowbrook last night because I felt like throwing money away and eating something delicious. We both got food poisoning. I called them today and the person I spoke to basically told me that it sucks for me but hey thanks for calling! Fuck you Shadowbrook. I tell Mike what happened and then he called them.. and they called me.. blahblah. Apparently the Chef was supposed to call me but they didn’t (go figure) and again on the phone the manager expressed that they’re only sending me a gift card because the service was shitty but I wasn’t food poisoned by them. And I told him he sucks at customer service.

Okay, no I didn’t. At this point though I was already over it. Yes, here’s my address, send me a gift card, I’ll just spend it in the bar.

Stupid. Ugh.

My back went crazy a few nights ago and it’s slowly been getting better as I’ve been taking it very easy. It’s still rough though. Every time I think I’m finally getting over that final hump in recovery something happens and I go back five steps. This time the pain was of a new flavor. It sent shooting pains down the front of my legs as well. Weird and unpleasant.

I got new tires today! So that’s awesome. I needed them.

Time to go drink a beer and visit with the fam.

Later Gators.

Nope!

Today has not turned out as excellent as I had hoped it would.

Actually today has absolutely sucked.

I fought with M the drunk driving friend. I got stuck in traffic. My car was acting all crazy and actually died as I pulled into a parking spot at the gas station.

I have a ridiculous headache.

My painting is just.. not right. I can’t focus on it and it’s frustrating.

I think I need to be more of a hermit and quit spreading myself so thin emotionally. I guess that’s what happens when you like people who don’t like you and people who like you, you don’t like. Something like that, anyway.

Blog, Paint, Music, Movies, Food, Lazy Sunday.

I might just stay in bed all day.

My Saturday was interesting.

WP just ate my post again. This is getting old fast. I will give you a quick recap since I can’t really be bothered to rewrite everything.

I worked yesterday. It was slow. There were two events going on outside of work that kept my regulars from seeing me.

H came in about 30 minutes before my shift was over and I learned how to make a surfer on acid. Fun.

I watched movies and ate pizza with Q afterwards.

After that I went over to a friends house to see him and some other friends. They were drunk so I left.

M was there and decided he was going to follow me home? I don’t fucking know. He stopped at the convenience store the same time I did. I drove his drunk ass home and am now going to be disconnecting from that situation.

I’m painting today! One painting will hopefully be completed and the other will be mostly finished if I do this right.

I have nothing to do today and it’s fantastic.
