semi-yay

so i know i've gotten better--but "better" doesn't mean that i feel anything close to good. i just feel like shit.

but the best news is--I GOT MY PATAGONIA PURCHASES on friday afternoon! yay! it was expected to be delivered monday--so it coming on friday was great. the jacket is awesome. lovvvvvvvve it. the color is awesome. it will be my summer jacket. the pants and skirt are a pretty unique and interesting take on capris/skirts. i like it.

on my way home from jersey last friday...i stopped by the carwash place a block from home and got my car officially washed. i had so much crap inside my actual car that i just told them to bypass the vacuuming. i know my car was filthy--after such a messy winter--but i wasn't too impressed with the wash/hand wipe job. i mean, my baby LOOKS great even from close up--all bright and shiny and clean looking--but when you go over it with a fine tooth comb--there was some black grease spots here and there that they didn't wipe off which i later did, and they just didn't do such a thorough job--but as i only payed $5.25 i guess i shouldn't complain overly much. but i swear they did a rather thorough job on all the cars before me! i was watching. they were probably told i only wanted a wash/wax and to not bother expending a ton of energy on a car that isn't making them much money. such foresight. i ended up cleaning up the entire inside afterwards (wiping the dash, vacuuming, etc.) so my baby has been happily pampered.

"exhaustion"

so i was diagnosed with walking pneumonia brought on by "exhaustion" and am on meds and was told to "take it easy" for a few days.

which is impossible of course since this is my jersey week. then i have plans this weekend (BBQ at mae's on saturday) and the hamptons the beginning of next week. i'll rest after i get back from there--and hope that i get better by then!

i'm tired. i think i will sleep early-ish tonight. i can certainly use it. i can most definitely use it!

i just hate the phlegm. i swear to god i am THE GROSSEST sick person anyone could ever meet. no joke. i really mean it. my family will attest to it, i'm sure. i'm not the kind of sick person that engenders "awww, poor thing." i'm the kind that gets the outright looks of disgust or, if the person is remotely polite, the crinkling of the nose.

but everyone shudders and walks a wide berth around me.

and i can't blame them. i just can't blame them. i'd give myself the disgusted look--and often do when i'm sick.

i can't wait for my clothes to come from patagonia!

there's been a lull in the movie industry for me since i saw slumdog millionairre. but there are a couple of movies i want to see (monsters vs aliens and i love you man) and then--the summer movie blockbuster season--TONS of movies i'm dying to see then. so yay!

gahhhh

i need rest. badddd. waking up is horrrrribly hard these days. i just want to be able to sleep an entire night through without waking up for various reasons and noises.

and i should stop traveling and drinking.

starting...2 more months. when i feel like things will start to calm down a little. or not...

i am out for dinner and drinks tomorrow and that's ALL i plan on doing this weekend. then travel for a 1 1/2 weeks.

one of my best friends is coming to visit me again! yay! so at the end of may, angelika will be here for 1 1/2 weeks for a short visit. i am mass excited for this. every single time she visits it's like picking up where we left off. it never feels awkward and i love it. the picture is from the last time she was here visiting.

i also bought a few items from patagonia today...so the following are pictures of nearly everything i wrote about today!
