do you ever stop to think.... and forget to start again?
oh, just another one of those days. you know, those days. it was kind of nice this morning but i wasn't able to enjoy it thanx to the enormous pollen-related sinus headache and stuffy nose i've had in awhile. we've been praying for rain for days. it's horrible when you can sit in your living room, look out the sliding glass door and see a room with hundreds and thousands of yellow bunches all over it just laden with powdery, nasty, yellowy pollen. and then a gust of wind comes through and it looks like a dust storm. except its pollen. and it gets in everything. i got into the car today and my ipod was covered in a fine layer of pollen. gross....
so we prayed for rain and it came. but now there are yellow streams of pollen running everywhere and its become this yellow, congealed good that has a paste like quality. it hardens to your car and gives it this sickly green sheen. its like my car is naseous. and rain always means a boring day at work. it keeps people off the road and out of the store. and if it rains really hard then it knocks out our radio antennae. then we have to sit in here in absolute silence and it is just eerie. you start hearing phone beeps and whistles from who knows where and get a little twitchy. silence is pretty scary sometimes.
i found another good candidate for a house. in smyrna, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage, screened deck, not screened deck, unfinished basement, pool table (woo hoo!!)... pretty awesome really. and only $1250 a month. totally affordable. i think i'm starting to get this househunting thing down. i get a lot less disappointing false matches when i'm searching around. we've also been discussing how long we are planning at staying at this house of our dreams when we find it. 2 year lease? 3 year lease? i don't know. jay says he may just buy a house and then allow us to rent from him. but he also said he's going to put a "no marriage" clause in it to keep huey and i as his sorta single friends.
if things go well with smack dab studios and savannah seems like the place to be, we might even end up there two or three years. huey played his cards right here and i have to applaud him for being so clever. he brought up a move like that and immediately i was like, no way, no how, i want to stay in atlanta. and he said sure, but this would be neat about moving, and being there would maybe help us out, and its so far away its just fun to think about. plus it gives us a reason to visit there a lot now too. since i've never been there and this gives me at least two years to get used to the idea of moving.... well, i'd say he has pretty good chances of getting me into a u-haul.
anyway, i was off the last two days and did a whole bunch of nothing!! it was great! if i coulda grilled out a few times it would have been better. or been near a beach and coulda lounged around all day with a margarita or rum runner or something. that woulda been awesome. but i sat inside, hiding from the pollen, and playing about 16 hours of a new video game. lame, i know, but sooo relaxing. my phone died sometime tuesday morning so i had zero contact with the outside world for two days as well. very cool. but then i was just a little bit disappointed i didn't have any messages on my phone this morning about people worried or thinking i died or was kidnapped. just messages about things people need me to do. what ever happened to people being worried when they didn't hear from someone? i guess i used to be like that and am now more like this. if they wanted to talk to you i guess they'd call... or write... right? who knows. its so hard to tell with some people.
woo hoo. if i close the till i get to go home. and play more video games. there are few excitements in my life... but getting to leave early from work is one of them.
