thursday; friday; trip today
Sep. 24th, 2005 09:25 pmSeems like I haven't made a proper post in a couple days, so here we go.
Thursday
Fracking work. I was scheduled 9-4pm, but spent four hours in the morning doing bugger all because I was never told what to do. Finally, I was given my list of tasks and tried to finish as much as I could before I had to leave so I could meet with
queenmaab after work. And as is my luck, 20 minutes before I leave I am just slammed with more stuff to do. Of course, I tried to finish it, but it didn't really happen to so ended up leaving 15 minutes last and thus was about 10 minutes late meeting with QM.
We didn't see Corpse Bride... because we are both retarded and didn't realize it opened on Friday, not Thursday. Ooops. Ended up just having dinner at Uno's (our waiter looked really familiar and I still can't figure out why...) and then went to her place to watch Nightmare Before Christmas. Then we watched a fair bit of a baseball game before I decided to leave before I fell asleep on her couch XD
Friday
I don't remember much except work was pissing me off and instead of leaving at 1pm like I was supposed to and planning on, I didn't leave until almost 3pm. Then I went to the post office and mailed packages to
voleuse and
punkydee.
There was of course, Sci Fi Friday squee, which I already covered yesterday. Oh, but I didn't mention BSG, which was really engaging and disturbing and whoa. Blew my mind.
Saturday
Which would be today. Got up at 6am, left the house at 7am. Got to the Chinese Herbalist in Flushing around 10am. She looked at my palms and took my pulse before proclaiming that I had bad circulation and an energy blockage in my liver. She asked if I was dizzy a lot, slept strangely, and was generally in a foul mood for no reason. Which I am. She also asked how strong my eyeglass perscription was and when my mother mentioned I had lost a lot of weight asked about that. She told my mother that my mood swings are a real problem and not something I can control so she shouldn't take it personally when I get upset for no reason. Ha! Basically, she prescribed a bunch of things for me to steep and drink. I'm... not sure what most of it was, but there were grains and powders of some kind as well as goji (wolfberries), a type of dried plum, some sticks, dried ginger, more sticks, tree bark.. and something I'm pretty sure I don't want to know the origin of. Yummy. *gags* Actually, I'm drinking it right now. UGH. It tastes like dirt. And... bitter. And... rank. *gag* But my mother tried it and she says to me, "it tastes all right," so I'm sort of scared of the one she has to drink. Oh, the doctor also said I should stop dying my hair as hair dye is a known poison. Heh.
Had lunch with mom's friend and her daughter, went to the Chinese supermarket, bought a milk-less pearl milk tea. Came home. Exciting.
At the rest stop, my mother called my cousin back about her sister. Cousin suddenly blurted out that he blames my mother's father for how my aunt is all crazy now.. because my grandfather used to hit her when she was young. Uh. WTF?! First of all, he never, and for my cousin to have the balls to say, "he's compulsive and anyone who looks at him knows if he gets angry, he'll hit you," makes me all sortof livid. My mother's father wouldn't even hit a dog much less his children. If my cousin was physically there, I would have slapped him one.
p.s. I have a weird rash on my right arm (did I talk about this?) and I have no idea if it's from new soap, BPAL, or something else.
