Man, it's gorgeous outside. Yesterday was officialy my first skirt and sandals day! I spent it langouring on the grass, wishing I didn't have to be at work at 530am so I could spend some time with the stars. I think tonight there shall be star time.

i think there also needs to be substantial writing time later...i feel like ive posted shit and shyte lately...sorry!

so my second strike...in the same fucking week as the first....dammit!
somehow my alarm got set to silent...im doing considerably well for seeing my future currently hanging on a hinge.

the last few days have been a rollercoaster...
we found a place to move as long as the credit check goes through.
it's a great little 3bdrm house in Roxborough.
everyone send us happy "lease signing" thought and good vibes!

there was more...but im running on 6hours of sleep total since thursday morning...words escape me.

i'm off for another 2 days of living somewhere that's not home...i wonder if this is how flight attendants feel only theyre in different cities than home, and theyre provided a place to stay. this weeks couch of choice provided by isaac and dorsey as to let mary have a stress free of a time off/unpacking as she can. :)

heading out now to look at some apartments. see you on saturday!

I officially was pitched strike one today. Apparently my mind decided not to notice the 530 on my schedule for Tuesdays. Technically they could've fired me since I strolled in at quarter to 9 like there wasn't a care in the world. So...I've only got one left in the chamber.

The underwater bag search the other day left me with a pretty nasty set of melon sized glands, a constricted airway, and the inability to eat solid foods for fear of puncturing my esophagus like an expired condom (sorry...it's a bad metaphor day) I've been pretty miserable from it for a couple days now. Last night I got through my soup as Chris and I watched Babel (which was excellent!) before crashing in a painful heap of congestion. Today it started draining, so at least it's improving...and I have the next 2 off, so I'll have time to reboot.

Despite the aches, pains, and general disgusting feeling I've had all day, I decided not to cancel on Trevor. It's taken us long enough to get this project off the ground as it is, and since the purpose of the meeting was to try to mesh some songs, I figured tonal perfection wasn't required. We parted with a pretty good jump on the 2 songs he sent me last week, and he really digs my sound (minus mucus), so I'm pretty excited about getting this really started. All we need is a bass player and we'll be good to go.

So thats been my day...I intend to sit on my butt all damned night...wanna fight about it?

i got just what i asked for, but i never expected to be so aware of it. its an odd feeling to know ones prayers have been answered in such an introspective way. not a bad feeling. not a consciously good feeling. maybe a relieved feeling. know i know. clarity is key. i generally dont ask for things that abstract, but there it is. im still not sure how to feel...my calm during the storm.

today was a storm in the storm...but it wasnt all bad at all. half an hour before my shift end i rebooked a guy on a flight ans decided i was going to make sure his bag got on the new one. so....i ran myself into the rain to find it, was sent to several different places, found a couple guys to help me, and eventually set things in motion to make sure it got there. by the time i was done i looked like a drowned rat. i was sore all the way home from the several puddles i found myself swimming in. ugh, i hate wet socks more than i hate socks in general.

last nights game was really good. it wasnt exactly the same, but i guess ive got to get used to that. the problem is i dont know where my boundaries are. hug? head on his shoulder? playful friendly contact? i dont know...i feel like im not allowed anymore. bah!

so there it is..the good, the wet, and the awkward.
maybe ill have energy for more later...i doubt it though

Work kicked my ass yesterday. I got signed off Tuesday, and this was weather's way of welcoming me back to the pool. "Bend over, Jenn, it's time to prove yourself!" And I think I did rather well considering all the factors (which I won't get into) I almost got gyped out of my shift because I actually followed directions and the Miscommunication fairy decided to sprinkle some "let's not turn in Jenn's bid" dust into my life. A certain co-worker isn't too happy with me because I was actually pro-active in fixing the problem, which would have been a rather expensive mistake to let go.

So, starting my shift today gave me today off, which was great. I was pretty productive this morning. I tried to go see a couple apartments, but neither of the agents was available. It's getting harder and harder to find affordable 3bdrm apartments. There are plenty on 1 and 2's in our price range, but as soon as you add that 3rd bdrm the apartment becomes a house or a condo, and that makes it expensive, so it's been a challenge. I scrounged for a while trying to find somewhere to sleep tonight (huzzah for a 7am start tomorrow), and it looks like I'll be occupying a coworkers empty place for a couple nights before she moves in this weekend. Thank gods for small, money saving favours. I think I'm gonna wander around South Street tonight. I haven't been in the city at night for a while. I can't wait to live closer to it again, and Manayunk has it's own nightlife to enjoy.

I think I've also come to the conclusion that I want my "focus" tattoo soon. I've decided I need someone to go with me though, so I think I'll either talk Kiyoko or Scot into either coming to Philly or I'll visit one of them. Maybe next time I'm in Chicago I can convince Scot to take me...and Cat can go too...hah, I'm a wuss, but only the first time. I decided on that one first because 1. it's the simplest, and 2. it's the one I've had in my head the longest, and therefore will not change.

Saturday Chris and I are going to the Phillies game. I got tickets from work (well from a co-worker), and as long as I don't end up staying all day I should be fine to make it. This will be our first game this season, and they're pretty good seats. Too bad the Phillies don't have a better record right now, hah.

Tuesday I'm going over to Trevor's again. I have some lyrics for him, so hopefully we'll get somewhere with this music thing.

I'm headed out to the city soon...I just got speechlessly introspective...maybe not being on a computer for 2 days will be a good thing....
