Wednesday 1/16, I pulled something in the wee hours of the morning while sleeping and instantly felt it in my neck and upper back. Ugggg. At work I felt shitty because Ian uploaded a new picture of him and Sasha and she commented on it right away and I still suspect they're more than friends and it hurts and sucks because I'm not even close to being over him...even if I see him sometime in the future it's not like I get to hold his hand or kiss him or have that kind of relationship and it kills me. It makes me so sad. And makes me feel like shit. Bleh. Kay-See asked me what was going on and suggested an ice cream meet up later that night to lift my down-in-the-dumps spirit. I took it easy when I got home but felt like I hadn't done anything around the house in so long that I forced myself to hang up the laundry on my drying rack, set up the bed frame in the 2nd bedroom (refrained, because of my neck, from putting the box spring and mattress on though), rearranged the rug in the 2nd room and did a general sweep in the kitchen. I made dinner and relaxed after that, enjoying WoF and Jeopardy while talking to Susan on the phone about boys and ailments and boys some more. Kay-See beeped in and we made plans to meet up on MI at Baskin Robbins for some wallowing (strictly on my part). At 8 I took off and stopped at Walgreens for some vitamins then onto BR where K was already waiting. We perused ice cream for a long time and avoided children’s stares and loud slurping of ice cream. We finally both decided and got waffle cones then sat down to chat. I inhaled my ice cream as I presented all my evidence to K about how I think Ian is seeing Sasha or was or is going to. She gave me some things to think about then we moved onto lighter subjects…like where we think we’ll be in a year and how N will probably be available sometime around November. We talked about her trip to Mexico and how she’ll be doing a lot of looking over the top of her sunglasses and glancing side to side at the pool boy. We made lots of caliente jokes and she promised to bring home a spicy little treat for me as we were leaving at 9:30. I went home, showered, watched tv and read until it was time to go to bed.
Tuesday 1/15, I talked to Ky on my way home and we made plans for 7. At home I did my video, ate dinner and hopped in the shower. I rolled out right at 7 and called Kay-See to tell her Ky and I were coming and picked Ky up. He told me about his crazy neighbors then we discussed dramatic texts and conversations he'd had this week. When we got to bowling we found the crew in the corner and got big hugs then ordered the special. Only minutes later was Nicholas doubling over demonstrating what Kyle was going to be doing over the next couple days and he was like "Fuck you, you said they always get it! You said it was good!" to Kay-See and I was laughing so hysterically I couldn't breathe. "I'm trying to detox!" oh my, it was so funny. Like this meal was going to ruin his detox aspirations. We sat on the bench for a good part of the night talking and trying to warm up and being "bratty" (me: "I want ice cream!") but also spending some time on the stools watching K try to push Ky off his stool, "No fair, you have leverage!" So that was fun but then Ky and I started feeling not so good, I had little jabby pains in my stomach and he was having the same and a headache then concluded that the Chinese must have MSG in it. Oh well, mine came and went and it wasn't the end of the world. We had agreed to attend karaoke for a couple songs but then when we were all ready to go, including a bundled up Nicholas, we just stood around waiting and those boys were dawdling or something. After waiting a good 10 minutes with Matt and Jesse (while watching Ky push Kay-See into the "Toy Town" machine during a play fight) we said we would wait 5 more minutes. I was talking to Matt and mentioned not seeing Raj and he was like "He's right behind you" but I didn't recognize him because he cut all his hair off and now looks like Ian's roommate Ryan. That killed it for me, not that Ryan isn't an attractive guy, but the frame of reference is all off now. As over the top as the hair was I liked it better. Finally our 5 minutes was up so we started toward the door with Kyle urging, "Hurry up, he's coming!" as we were faced with Nicholas and I think Raj outside. We decided to go and bid K farewell and drove back to Issaquah talking about growing up and jobs and being happy and Cannes and Nice and being a homeowner and the glories (ha!) that come with. I dropped him and drove home, watched the news read a little then turned in.
Monday 1/14, I called Meghan to tell her I didn't want to chance it by driving in for my facial because of the heavily falling snow. We talked Acutane for a little bit which was helpful then I left work. I got a few things at the store and did my workout when I got home to get the blood moving. I ate dinner and laid on my bed trying to warm up because I was freezing. I watched a bunch of tv and did not much else. I watched OR to see Jonathan but I've missed so many I was trying to figure out what was going on. I went to bed after reading a little of my new Martha Stewart Weddings.
Sunday 1/13, I texted Eric early in the morning to wish him a happy birthday but never heard back. I slept in until almost 10 and was still extremely tired when I got up. I talked to Susan and told her I would be at her house as soon as possible. I dressed, got gas and talked to Dad as I drove in. I told him about Ian and he was very sweet and supportive...still amazes me how human he can be. I hung up when I got to Susan's and went up. We took off almost immediately since we were both hungry. Parking was a cinch except Susan freaked me out when she backed around a car to get to a parking spot. There was no wait at 14 Carrot and we both decided on our breakfasts fairly quickly. I got the Farmer and pretty much inhaled it then polished off Susan's piece of toast. Mmmm. As if all that food weren't enough we went down the street to Louisa's and each picked up a sugary treat to keep our spirits high for our walk around Greenlake. We drove down and started the lookout for cute boys. We were disappointed to not see, like, any. We also attempted to run people with babies off the path. Repeatedly. Heh. The sun felt so good and I even took my coat off toward the end because I was so warm. We saw two cute boys on a bench then I spotted a super hot guy on a bike but Susan wanted the boys on the bench because there were two. I told her she could have both of them if I could lock down the bicyclist. THEN another cute biker goes by and I looked him straight in the eye and said "Oh my, there's ANOTHER cute one!" and he smiled as he rode off. Susan can't take me anywhere! We drove back to her house and looked up a few open houses in Ballard and set back out with the windows cracked slightly and Ratatat turned up. The first one didn't look like it was actually open so we attempted to find the second one but didn't see it so instead we just kept driving and ended up in a neighborhood overlooking the water and found an open house down there that looked promising. It was a huge Dutch Colonial but was such a mish mash of remodels on the inside it just felt disjointed and a bit awkward. We drove around a little more, by the skate park and back to Susan's. I dropped her off and was tired so I drove home and called Mom on the way who confirmed there was no dinner. At home I put on Sex and the City and fell asleep for two hours. I snacked a little when I woke up and mostly vegetated watching tv until it was bed time. I think I crashed out at 10:30 or so.
