Drove downtown with my boyfriend, ditched the car, and took BART to Powell street in SF. Looked around the Sanrio store until the friend I was meeting showed up. Walked to H&M to return some pants I bought in the wrong size. Looked around H&M a bit. Tried to walk around town but got stuck in the rain. Took the bus to Japantown. Ate very good ramen. Went to the Japanese dollar store and nearly bought a lunch box. Went to Japanese bookstore where BF bought a lot of manga. Took the bus to BART. Stopped at a game store to go to the bathroom. Drove home, changed in to jammies, and made a cup of tea.
Now I’m working on my Peace Corps essay thing, and procraaaaaastinating. Well, I wrote it, I just need to proofread it and make sure they don’t think I’m an idiot. It’s supposed to be about my aspirations. “I aspire to do a good job and not horribly embarrass the United States while I am in Bulgaria. xxoo, Kyla”. That’s sort of a summary of what I’ve got.
Is that the one on Van Ness? When I was a little kid, my dentist’s office was across the street and if I was good at the dentist, my mom would take me over there afterwards and I’d get a new Hello Kitty toy.
I mentioned I’m procrastinating, right?
This has been a crapballs day. I woke up and did about 4 hours of work that I won’t be able to do next week because I have to go out of town. Then I had to go out and get ink because my black ink didn’t work and I need it to print maps. While I was out I went to the store and got a thing of cottage cheese and some paprika because I was having a craving. Then I got a frappuccino and that was the highlight of my day. When I got home, the printer wasn’t working anyway so I did my taxes and ate my cottage cheese. Then I started packing and suddenly remembered I had a cookie in my purse that I got at Starbucks and forgot I’d gotten so I decided to sit down and eat my cookie which brings us to now. I’m not really enjoying the cookie but the big glass of watermelon drink I’m having is refreshing!
What’s bugging me is that I have to get up at 6 tomorrow and I still haven’t finished packing and I haven’t drawn any maps either. I was also supposed to get coolant and I forgot. DAMN.
Got up at 5:30, went to work.
Power went out due to massive thunderstorms and tornados touching down all over town.
Felt bad anyway from a migraine earlier this week, so I went home early.
Watched the news for damage reports.
Discover tornado warning sirens are down so police are patrolling streets telling people to get under cover.

In a few minutes I’m going to phone my husband at work, and then read for a bit, do my rosary, and go to bed. It’s all terribly exciting.
Got up with the dog at 6:40. Fed him. Made coffee, read some of the papers, read some of the papers I own for my conference. Got dressed and walked him.
When Mrs. Voyager woke up, made slow cooked scrambled eggs from recipe in paper. Not terribly successful, but edible.

Dragged dog away from corner of yard, behind bushes, where he had cornered some animal, who would do worse damage to him than Ki would do to the animal.
Finished NY Times crossword - an easy one today.
Looked over taxes and discovered why California had an adjustment of $4k against me. :eek: Printed them for final review. Started on my other daughter’s FAFSA. Found that they did know who she was (they didn’t the first time I tried.)
Wasted time here.
I slept in (till 7:30, when the stupid dog started yapping), had a huge cup of coffee, visited with my roommate’s mom–who’s visiting from Mainland China–for an hour or so, watched the snow come down for a bit, and then started watching Rush Hour. I absolutely adore Jackie Chan.
I plan to stay in for the rest of the day, as it’s snowing pretty good outside and I don’t drive in it unless I have to.
I slept in until ten and then I read (and am still reading) the Dope for nearly an hour.

I woke up at noon to drive to Tampa with my uncle to pick up a treadmill I saw on craigslist for a great price. I’d been in contact with the seller for a week now, everything was ready, I had the cashiers check in hand and was all excited with my new soon-to-be toy. While eating breakfast, I checked my email only to find the following:
Mind you, this is 11 hours after I get an email with pics and a confirmation of our meeting today. This is after I’d agreed to drive there and pick it up. This is after we’d worked out payment details.
Put me in a crappy mood, it did. I vented to my uncle for a bit, then went to the beach and zoned out for an hour.
Now I’m home and planning to go to the gym and vent in a more productive manner.
Primarily hung around the house, waiting for my dislocated shoulder (obtained yesterday afternoon on the stairs) to heal.
