grocery shopping
Busy for a Saturday morning. The people at the auto care place were much nicer to me than the guy in the auto parts store. Silliness. But I got my oil changed, things replaced and all is hopefully well.
To make up for having to spend my time and cash on the car, I went to the HEB and bought groceries. (Professor P. tells me the Czechs love to visit the "cheb.") There is something unbelievable about a store with 5 kinds of oranges and 5 kinds of apples and all kinds of food. I shouldn't ever take that for granted. But anyways, I bought tons of fruit. The store has a special this week where if you buy a 5lb sack of red apples, you get a 4lb sack of oranges for free. Mmm. I bought lemons and strawberries too, milk, couscous, bread and peanut butter. Broke down and bought a candy bar at the checkout line. All those impulse buys really get to me. I suppose I'm very much an American consumer at heart.
I talked to Patrick last night, and he will be in town next week. It will be nice to see him, since he has been gone since November. I want to talk to him, and I'm afraid of talking. The communication is so frustrating sometimes, and I'm at a loss nowadays as to how to fix it. I'm hoping that next week will be good.
Since the sun is out and it's 77 degrees, I think I will go to the pool. I haven't gotten to swim in months. Mmm grilled pepper jack cheese sandwich, and an orange for lunch. What a lovely day.

running out to work...
I hope next week will be good, too. Hope I manage to catch my plane. ;)
Very much looking forward to seeing you again. And I'm glad you're finally getting to swim again.
Now, if I can only figure out what a "foon" is...
you don't know me, but i think warhol makes the lovliest friends
i Love HEB. i miss it emmensely. i love grocery stores. and usually people who like them also are good sorts of people. therefore, from that and other things, i think you are pretty neat.
that just sounded a tad stalkerish or something. it's probably worse that i follow you and your fiance's story in your journal too. but ho-hum, i guess that is why people put there life's out on here right? well, i think that you should have lot's of happy thoughts about next week. visualize everything being great. remember the fundamental things you really love and it will all be fine. i haven't seen my dearest friend since november either; sigh, it does get hard. and communication does break down sometimes.. but i have optimistic thoughts for you, whatever that is worth.

Thanks, I am trying my best to be optimistic about the situation as well. i'm not sure what will happen. Hopefully things will work out for the best without much pain.
Re: running out to work...
It's fun to swim, but it would be better if the water weren't so damn cold. I swear the pool was colder than Barton Springs today. A Chinese man in slacks, a dress shirt and a tie came by and stuck his hand in the water, and yelped at the temperature. He looked at me like I was crazy. Which isn't too wrong I suppose.
