Had a great time with L. yesterday. Arranged travel plans to visit my family in Texas but I couldn't get a later flight so I have to take an uber to the airport at 4:30 IN THE MORNING. Ugh.
I made shrimp and avocado pasta salad for lunch, it was yums.

I decided to change my laundry day from Friday to Sunday because the laundry rooms are less crowded.

I'm posting this from my cell phone because the Internet has shorted out due to some fuckup in the wiring in my apartment. The guy is working on it right nowedand I'm hearing some whispers in Spanish that sound like cursing. I have a few friends who speak Spanish well enough that I know some words they don't teach you in Spanish classes in school.

Earlier this afternoon I went to the Peet's in north Berkeley (one of the VERY few Peet's left that has the original Peet's atmosphere instead of being yet another bad clone of Starfucker's) and had a cup of tea and a deli sandwich from Safeway and a couple of cupcakes from good old Love at First Bite. I wanted to go to the bookstore in that neighborhood but they went out of business. Boooooooooo! Picked up a couple of breakfasty things at the Berkeley Cheeseboard collective. The buses were a pain in the butt. One driver refused to pick me up and some asshole threw a big rock at one of the other buses. I'm amazed the window didn't get broken.
I'm meeting a friend in a few hours for a couple of drinks. Looking forward to it.

L. couldn't make it again today and I have to hang around here to see if the idiots who run the apt bldg actually send anybody up to fix my kitchen sink. It's draining very slowly and the garbage disposal isn't working at all.

Just making a quick entry before going out to Indie Bookstore Day! My cold is a lot better now, I'm just going to keep taking the pills and wear a mask and I should be all right.

My cold is somewhat better than it was. Had a nice conversation on the phone w/ my sister and her husband, did NOT mention my cold because I KNOW my sister would immediately say something to my parents about it and my mom would have a fit and be convinced it was covid and demand that I go to the hospital immediately. I love my sister but you know how in every group of kids there's this one kid who's a snitch? That was her and she's no kid anymore but that never changed.
Going to get some rest and have a couple of beers.

I have to go to PT today. I should be resting because of this damn cold.

I had so much fun at the My Little Pony convention! Lots of laughs, lots of partying, lots of food, looked at interesting swag. it was a great opportunity to get to know the two friends who invited me better and they are both super super nice and generous. Saw some amazing costumes. my friends gave me a couple of plushies. I swam 16 laps in the pool (first time I had my leg scar exposed in public which I was nervous about but nobody seemed to care or notice). First time I ever played Rock Band and I sang Freebird. I know that has fuck all to do with ponies but it was cool and I went over well. I'm super tired right now, did not sleep well over the weekend but it was worth it

Cranking up the Beatles because one of my neighbors put Whitney Houston on.
