"Sloppy Jose"

I had a pretty normal day today. Besides having some stomach problem and feeling kind of dizzy at times, things went on according to plan. Dave made "sloppy jose" tonight and it was yummy. There was also lemony asparagus and spicy macaroni. Then we had grapefruit sorbet and leftover cherry pie with vanilla ice cream. I know, a lot of food, but I just kept on eating.

Jane's birthday party is on Saturday, so that's something I am looking forward to. Other than that, it's going to be another uneventful, relaxing weekend.

Mostly Good... Can Be a Downer

Wow. May is just around the corner. Where did the time go? I of course have had a nice break for months. It's still going too. There has been sporadic panic, some depression, definitely relaxation, and of course thorough appreciation of life. So far, so good. A chunky mixed bag of lessons, inspirations, doubts, and emotions... I am thankful that I am healthy and aware. And I am generally hopeful that things will turn around. These are my pluses. The minuses? I am not with anyone. And I am still without a job. Luckily because I worked a few days this and last week, I am feeling pretty solid now.

I really don't want to base my mood on a job, but I have to admit life's more settled and secure when there's a sense of purpose, and I can count on being paid regularly :)

I don't know how I feel about Lost tonight. I hope they didn't kill Daniel. It's a downer for me. Speaking of "downer" I LOVE LOVE this Debbie Downer clip.

I love my neighbor

I ended up working some hours today too. I know, what's happening?!

Afterwards I went to the gym, came back and chatted with my neighbor a bit. She was so nice to me. She gave me fruits and cooked me dinner too. I couldn't thank her enough. I watched AI, Fringe, and Bravo's housewives. Riveting!

Hmm. Why is the news so drawn to the flu piece? It's the front running news on every channel. It is like some kind of propaganda, creating some kind of monstrous panic no one really needs right now. Then again, people should know about this. I just think it's too, too much coverage.

I love Vh1

I worked a little more than half a day today. I might have another day of work, or another half a day sometime this week, I will find out later. After work I went to the gym, came home, took my neighbor to CVS for her medicine, and came back home again to rest for good.

I'm addicted to Vh1. I love their shows "I Love Money" and "Tough Love"... but I am not that big of a fan of their bachelor/bachelorette shows. Everything else in their "reality competition" genre, including the returning "Charm School" (with Ricki Lake!!!) pulls me in every time. It's trashy, it's campy, it's at times clever, it's usually dumb, it's everything brainless entertainment should be. I mean, I do watch Lost... but for every complicated, smart show, I need a few more silly shows like the ones on Vh1 to keep my everyday TV consumption in balance.

I love Frenchy aka Angelique... Her interviews are always hilarious, and whoever "translated" her confessions, my hero.

Legs and thighs

I spent another day at home, only went out to have dinner with Dave and Jose. Actually, that's not true. I went out and splurged on lunch. I got 6 PCs chicken legs and thighs from El Pollo Loco for $4.99. It's one of their advertised specials. I was going to get a sub, but I changed my mind mid-way. I figured this special wouldn't last long, so I should go for it. Hmm... it might be just me, but the pieces included were kind of small. Oh well, they tasted good... and sometimes that's all that matters.

I have work tomorrow. Yay. I briefly looked at the job postings tonight and didn't see a lot of possibilities. April is coming to an end, and I thought this month was going to be my turning point. Maybe May?

Home all day

I went out only once today, then spent the rest of the day in my apartment. After my nap I had some canned soup. It tied me over mostly. Then around 10 o'clock I began to feel like having a sandwich. Or fried chicken. Or a steak. Basically I wanted to have whatever was advertised on TV. Only I was too lazy to put on some decent clothes to leave the apartment, and it was kind of cold outside too. I ended up just having some snacks and fantasizing about the junk food I could have.

Refreshing

I worked an entire day today. I know, how refreshing. It went by so fast. I didn't even realize I missed lunch. I did have some snack throughout the day. It was a nice change of pace, focusing on finishing something and accomplishing something. I will be back next Monday too. Who knows how long this will last? Sigh. I need a new job.
