emchyit is so strange coming back to the office after and honest to goodness nice break from it all
i was actually able to relax and enjoy for most of the weekend
shocking my sweetie when at one point she realized that i was not in my usual hurry
crazy
the sad thing is that money troubles continue to freak me out, and then it is tears and panic and frustration when all i really want to do is book a plane ticket to new orleans and walk along the river, amble down royal and burgundy, dig out those small shops that still have character on the fringes of the quarter... sigh
i am not as cranky about sf as i have been recently - in fact (you devils) many of my shiny new friends, and good art things happening are making me love it here again, for the first time in three or four years i am not as focused on leaving
but being back at work is hard. last night - had people over to make the tree pretty, and it is. but right before guests came over we found more cat pee in the living room corner. many bottles of vinegar and boxes of baking soda, an entire tom waits collection of CDs and some Charles Mingus, the entire CD shelving unit, the comfy green chair - all used up and ruined. this is a reminder to always seal the wood on things, because unsealed wood ABSORBS LIQUID. and for any artsy musicians out there, i love the cardboard funky cool cd cases, but again cardboard ABSORBS LIQUID. so many cds are now orphaned of their cases and linear notes. sigh.
just not a fun way to end a vacation or to start a party.
so now i just want to go home - to some comfy clean couch and cuddle up and watch cheesy movies, worry about nothing - not my weight, not money, not getting published, not health issues, not cat pee, not holiday presents, just watch cheesy movies and smile and laugh, i miss smiling and laughing

Date: 2004-11-29 11:39 am (UTC)Sherilyn and I often share meals anymore because portions are so large. Yes, we could both finish individual large portions, but then we feel sluggish and guilty. We're hoping to use that trick as a money-saving measure in New Orleans as well. (If I recall correctly from my previous visit, portions tend to run large in N.O.)
Our small apartment should keep me from being too tempted to bring home lots of pretty/spooky/sparkly things which will also help reduce my financial worries. *fingers crossed*
Seriously, worrying is like a hobby for me. Or maybe it's more like a bad habit I'm trying to kick.
