whew!

Got to spend this evening with good company and good food. Me, brightillusions, and our friends (and in my case former co-workers) Lallen, Beka, and Josie took Rachael out to dinner tonight at The Cheesecake Factory. Rach leaves for Oregon on Wednesday morning. It makes me sad, but I am so happy for her. I am going to miss one of my best friends terribly--but I know I will see her soon.

It was really nice to hang out with the girls tonight, and to see friends. I needed it more than I thought.

Tomorrow the parents and I are driving up to San Francisco for the day. Should be nice and cold. Heh. I do love the cold. We're going to go to Pier 39 and downtown and do a bit of shopping. Oooh...new Giants stiuff. Hahah. Timmeh!

My knee is still in pathetic shape, but it is slowly getting better. I am keeping it in a brace or wrapped with an Ace bandage. I am fairly sure I messed it up stumbling on the stairs at my apartment complex last week. Ugh. It is driving me nuts! I can't kneel or squat down at all, but again, it is better than it was a few days ago, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. Will probably ice it as we leave tomorrow, so it should be okay, and Advil usually helps. Heh.

As I finish this, Dawson (our Australian shepherd) just crammed himself into the very small dog bed we have for our Jack Russell terrier Holly. Hahaha. The big dog thinks he can fit himself in it, and he sure does--tucking his nose in and everything. It makes me smile.

Am hoping to have some sort of job news this week--we shall see. It's increasingly frustrating, and I am getting a tiny bit worried about money, but I will be okay for a couple of more months if necessary. The parents and I have already discussed me moving back home for awhile, but that is definitely a last resort. I m hoping it won't come to that, but I know I have that support system should I need it, and to be honest, it would cut down on expenses. Sigh. I just don't want to be a burden on my fantastic parents--and I know they would never and don't see it that way, but I do--as a pretty independent person who has lived on her own for 4 years now!

I digress, though. And I am off to bed. Hope you all are well.

Good night!

whew!
