Busyness
Quite a bit has been going on in the past week. I'll break it down, not necessarily all in order:
I have a housemate, finally. He came to see the apartment the day before Thanksgiving, and he moved in this past Thursday. He's a nice man, and is pretty much gone most of the day. My biggest discovery tonight is that I'm gonna have to start turning up the heat more. While I'm fine with the heat being on 63 for the most part, he told me tonight he was freezing. So I turned it up to 66, and I'm roasting. lol At least I can keep the heat down all day when he's not here. I'll just turn it up when I hear him come home. And hopefully I'll be home to do so. lol
A friend of mine who I tutor with online was here last weekend to visit! She came with her husband, and they stayed at the new hotel casino. I got to hang out with her most of day on Saturday. We went to a quite village, had lunch and walked around to see some of the shops. The weather was insanely gorgeous for this time of year, it was the perfect weekend for them to visit! Later that night, we went out for a few drinks. It was so good to finally meet her after tutoring with her for several years! Hopefully some day I can go visit her in Staten Island. That would be cool!
I found out about a vendor sale going on at one of the schools in my city. It was a school I always knew about, but didn't exactly know where it was. And I think that was the biggest reason for a small turnout today, that not too many people know where the school is located! But at least I tried! I brought all my jewelry and my tealight lamps, set everything out, and hoped for the best for the 4 hours the sale was going on. I sold 2 tealight lamps and an illusion necklace set. Not too bad, but I wish there would have been more people. Oh well, at least I have more money than I started out with.
I ran into the mother of an old grade school friend a couple weeks ago. I hadn't seen her since her daughter died a few years ago. I think of Veronica all the time, and how guilty I still feel for not going to visit her the last couple years of her life. It got too hard to see her, not able to talk, not really able to laugh, or smile. I still don't know exactly what she died of, but it was a mix of like Parkinson's and a couple other crippling diseases. It began in 8th grade. I visited her quite often with several other friends over the years, but the last couple were just so hard. It's no excuse, and I ask her to forgive me all the time. She was a beautiful person, and a wonderful soul. Her mother told me she'd love to see me when I asked if I might be able to come visit her some time. I'd love to do that, I think talking about Veronica would help me and her.
I have one more Christmas gift to buy, and that's for my Dad. I'm just getting him a gift certificate to Sears, since he said he'd like one. Fine by me! lol I got about 90% of my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving this year. I don't know why I'm so on the ball. But at least it's done! Now I should be wrapping, hopefully I'll start doing that soon so I can put gifts under my tree, even though they aren't for me. lol
I guess that's it for now. I know other things have been going on, but it's now time for bed. Can't type when you're falling asleep. lol
