Tuesday 8/26, Eric started cuddling me early in the morning and we eventually started doing it then he took off because he was late for work. I called and managed to get an appt a day earlier than my scheduled Thursday appt. Thank god. At work Eric texted that he was going to be in Seattle and would come by later in the evening. I worked just a tad later than usual to make up for the time I knew I would be missing the next day at the derm. I did my 2-miler and ran for a good part of it then on my way home I called Eric who said he was almost to my house and I told him the same and he ended up barely beating me. Anal fun finder, texted it to everyone, received enthusiastic responses back. We hung out in my room and he showered while I called Kassie to see how her and Skylar are doing then started burning more music to my hard drive. It was about 6 and Eric asked if we could get dinner yet so I quickly showered and he wrapped me in a towel, got dressed and out the door. We went to the good Thai place and laughed at the boxer in the next car over who wanted to play poker and pool. We ordered then went to Office Depot so I could get an arm band then back over to pick up the food. Back at my house we waited for Hillary to come on to watch her speech but she didn't for a long time so we turned on SatC and switched back and forth to see if she was on yet. We ate and stuffed ourselves then watched her speech, which was very good I thought, then finished up our episode and watched another and now Eric's not so in love with Big. We went upstairs to get ready for bed and I was still burning and he asked me to come up by him so I put on some mood music and laid with his arms around me and we talked. I finished up the cds then got ready for bed and we talked more before turning the lights off and going to sleep. At 4:05 I received "You can pick me up?" from Eric. I just sighed and put my phone back in my purse. I was tossing and turning, as was Eric, and I didn't really fall back asleep for a while but crashed after he left.
Monday 8/25, Talked to Jess before the day's end and decided to meet at Grandma Marie's for dinner etc. I called and left a message for Eric telling him to call me if he needed anything and that I’m there for him if he needs help. Eric wasn't at home when I arrived so I called and he was at REI and on his way home. I was playing on my computer while he shaved and got ready and we were out the door headed north. Traffic sucked but cleared up once we hit 5. We sat in the living room talking and GM bustled in the kitchen prepping for guests. She asked me if I was laughing at her hair. Then we talked shit about GW and Jess tried to say her Grandma liked him and her Grandma would make horrified faces. Day arrived with food so we took off shortly after for Azteca where our server was quick and very to the point, just the way we like it. No we don't want an appetizer, no we don't want to hear the specials, just give it to us, and quickly please. The bill was paid and we headed out and Eric got Jess with the fake cigarette and she asked why it was funny and Eric responded that he has a seventh grader's sense of humor. We decided to go to downtown Everett to see our school and ended up taking some detours to the red house, MC's house, Jess' Dad's old house and my old house before heading downtown to show him the school. He was impressed then Jess got off the phone with "Willie" and we found a DQ via googl and headed toward it on Evergreen Way but had to detour. We arrived and were laughing about Jess' Mexican pizza. We ordered then took a seat toward the back and talked about terrorists and the shirts we want to wear, especially to "Willie's" Lebanese restaurant. My favorite is the eagle carrying a turban wearing terrorist in it's talons. We were laughing so hard talking about bringing an eagle aboard the plane in a mini body bag. We were seriously in hysterics. Then there was the terrorist dump truck scenario with the turban flapping out the window in mockery. Our conversation came full circle back to the Mexican pizza again on the way out and blizzards and how any tourist would love such American fare. We continued to laugh all the way back to her Grandma's then she begged us not to leave her there but we had to because it was 9 and we both had to work the next morning. I gave her a hug and told her I'd see her in two weeks then we drove home and Eric told me how much he appreciates me and why so that was nice. When we got home we got ready for bed and crawled in and went to sleep.
Sunday 8/24, We got up a little after 9 and got ready and headed out for brunch at Kay-See’s. We had to stop at the store for juice and chicken sausage and when I went to call K to clarify which kind she wanted I saw I had two texts. From Eric. That I hadn’t heard in the middle of the night. The first at 2:32am said: “Will you pick me up and bring me to your house and lock me up for a day?” and the second one at 4:05am stating: “I would like you to take me” so I just stood there, mouth agape then told Eric and he just kind of shook his head. I couldn’t deal with that at that moment and pushed it to the back of my mind and tried to concentrate on sausage. We got the stuff then headed into Seattle and found parking easily and up to her’s where we found her and Ky chatting. Breakfast was almost ready so we hunkered down, chatted, then dished up and started the juicy gossip. The food was so good and I ate a ton and we watched Friends in the background. We hung out there for quite a while checking out shoes online and laughed about Friends and Eric getting hooked on it. We left around noon and headed down to Chrystol and Schuyler’s but hadn’t heard from them so we took a detour by the place with the chair I like but it was closed or something so we went by their house and planned to drop the baby but they were home and spotted Eric, but not before he could plant it. We sat in the living room and talked for a long time and I showed Chrystol the furminator then she went outside and spotted the baby and the sign I’d left “Be my Mama and Dada. Please love me” which Chrystol thought was hilarious. We finally got out the door to the market and it started raining, lightly at first, then much harder and I was under an umbrella but the rest were staying dry under rain coats. I was wearing slippers so my feet were slippery wet. Down at the market it was pouring and there weren’t any pastries out so we ducked into the shops and looked at cute stuff then over to look at my chair and it’s gone up but I still love it. Eric thinks it’s over the top. We eventually headed back and stopped at the store on the way and got donuts and other snacks because somehow Eric and I were hungry again. We walked back to their house and in the process Chrystol and I received some cat calls then chowed down. We watched Lulu go crazy under the rug and I started falling asleep. We decided to hit B&N in U-Village and Chrystol and I took off to check out the art books then the boys joined us and found some penis book that freaked me out because there was a guy with a two foot flaccid one and it totally grossed me out and all I could say was, “That can’t be real. It can’t. You don’t think it’s real do you? It can’t be” but I was overruled. We parted ways because it was about 6 and I needed to go to Grandma’s to drop off her juice so we did that and took the dog out and talked with her for a little bit then went to the store and picked up a few things then home. I showered and Eric got dinner going and I went down and he had it all done so we watched some SatC. We went upstairs and lit some candles and put on some music then got down to it and an hour later and four orgasms under my belt we hopped in the shower then crashed out.
Saturday 8/23, When I woke up Jess was out in the living room with her Mom and was about to go for a run so I settled onto the couch with a stack of mags while Day got breakfast going. I got ready when Jess returned and we kept joking and saying "divert him" and "beguile him" and laughing. We went outside to gauge the temp then back in to wait for breakfast. We finally had some and didn't wait for the rest of the guests to arrive and I talked to Kay-See and gave her info. Jess and I went out to the dock to catch some sun and K called while we were up in the house and needed directions. She finally arrived and the three of us laid out and talked and this boat came up looking for Charlie and Jess filled them in then they left and we were determined to get on a boat by the end of the day. We didn't care who we had to blow. Sike. We went in to have some nachos and I put on Fujiya and Miyagi so Jess could hear who we were going to see while in Dublin. Back outside for more sun and finally onto the jet skis in search of boys. We had a blast and K rode the purple one and eventually got the hang of it and was cruising around. Jess was doing all these tricks and was like "Sure, these guys out here with their new jet skis can do all sorts of tricks, but this piece of shit was made in 1987 and I can still make it MOVE!" and did we ever. K said we got some pretty wicked air. We followed a boat around with a bunch of hot guys for a while and looked for Kyle and came up with a plan to get on their boat and told them we always give Kyle a bj for taking us around. We went to the other side of the lake and I spotted a red head and K and I both liked, then Jess said something very offensive about ds babies in relation to red headed babies. We were all laughing so hard, it was terrible. We decided to head back and lay out some more, without making it onto anyone's boat, but we weren't that heart broken. I could feel I was starting to burn so I tried to lay on my back and soon realized I was very burnt so I sat up on the deck under the umbrella. Some people came by and long story short, this woman getting out of the boat was drunk and tripped onto the dock and broke her arm. I was worried she'd knocked my phone and camera into the water - she didn't. Day called an ambulance and told us to wait out in front of the house. K was like "Ooh, paramedics!" so she took her clothes off so she was in her bathing suit, and so was Jess and I was wearing a see through white tank top with no bra, except I folded it up so that you couldn't see anything, but at first I pretended I was going to leave it, nipples blazing, and we were all laughing hysterically. We flagged them down then hung on the deck and her mom got mad at her which abruptly ended the party. K left and we were pretty much on her heels after packing our things up. We went down to Red Robin to have a drink and I talked to Eric who told me him, Chrystol and Schuyler were going to see Tropic Thunder at 10:15 in Ballard if I wanted to go. So Jess and I snacked and talked and made plans for London then at 8:15 we packed up and left on our respective ways. I made a mad dash for home and talked to both Eric and Chrystol on my way and told them about my face and Chrystol could sympathize and said she'd set aside some stuff for me and had some other tips. At home I hurriedly showered and got ready and back out the door to Ballard and made pretty good time. We hung at their place for a few minutes and I got a nice hug and kiss from Eric and I told them all about my weekend and about the boys on boats and how K was going to have to perform bjs and Eric did an impression of her giving two guys hjs and saying “Nice boat you’ve got here” with the head rocking perfectly and we all laughed so hard and made him do it repeatedly over the weekend. Pretty soon we were on our way over to the theatre on foot and the movie was really hilarious and we were all in hysterics for most of it and Eric and Schuyler pretended to high five each other throughout it and do pull ups on the bars. I think Eric liked the Tony Taglioni preview the best though. We walked back to their house talking about the movie all the way and headed home shortly after. Chrystol had given me a little card thing so I opened that when we got home and it was a really nice note with a picture of me and Kassie from our photo shoot. We got ready for bed and hit the sack.
Friday 8/22, I left straight from work to go up to Jessica's Mom's and talked to Grandma who wasn't feeling good then Eric and sat in traffic for a long time. It took an hour and 40 minutes to make it up there so by the time I arrived I felt a bit frazzled. It was warm out so we got our suits on and helped gas up the jet ski and took off. We went all over trying to find cute guys and went by Kyle's and saw his boat but no sign of him. Jess took us over some waves and we went higher than we've ever gone and it was like slow motion and I was screaming "Ahhh, I'm going to fall off!" and when we finally landed after being repeatedly airborne over like four waves we laughed and laughed with water dripping off. Then another time we were going in circles and the back end slipped out from behind us and we almost went in and Jess couldn't believe I didn't fall off. We went back and Day wanted to know what I wanted for dinner and decided on steak. I showered off and put some clothes on and we hung out talking and enjoying the nice weather. We ate dinner and afterward were craving ice cream so we went down to the little store while Day got the fire on the beach going and checked out the late night locals. We got chocolate peanut butter and Jess called the guy with the long hair, even though they both had long hair. Back to the house with lots of stories being traded then we constructed our banana splits and Jess had about three times the amount I did with way more toppings. We went down to the beach and she filled me in on Tim and all her other goings-on and we were laughing hysterically and I was enthralled with all that's been happening. We stayed down there until it got pretty cold then headed back up and her Mom was asleep on the couch so we crawled into her bed which was incredibly comfortable and one of those elevating beds. We started the Other Boleyn Girl and she fell asleep about 5 minutes into it and I watched for a while then turned it off and went to bed. Maybe 11:30.
Thursday 8/21, I woke up a little early anticipating a call from Sos about breakfast. She called and I woke Ian up and asked him if he wanted to get breakfast but when he looked at the time he said he didn't want to so I finished getting ready and said bye and gave him a hug before I left and was out the door. I got a donut at the store for breakfast and instantly felt guilty for it afterward and vowed to run after work, which I did, and ran most of the two miles only stopping a few times, briefly, to walk and keep a side ache at bay. I came home to a house that looked as if no one had been there despite leaving two sleeping boys there that morning. Ian made it home but never found Silver Platters even though we texted and I told him where it was. I lounged and didn't want to go dancing at all and after a phone call with Susan we decided against it. I got through some mags and relaxed and talked to Eric at some point I'm sure. I showered, ate some leftovers, packed for Jessica's and probably tried to get to bed early.
Wednesday 8/20, The weather was shitty so I was anticipating a call from Ian saying they weren't making the drive but that call never came. Jess called and I'm going up on Friday after work for lake-fun. On my way home I called Ian and told him the weather sucked and he said it was blowing him. He said he'd call when they were on their way to my house around midnight. I called Grandma to tell her the meds were being taken care of and that I would be there later in the evening. I went home and found my new fireplace screen waiting for me on my front stoop and was so excited. I put it together and set it up and took the ac downstairs and my living room looks very nice. I polished off a few mags in between doing last-minute tidying up. I mostly relaxed then ate dinner and checked traffic. At 7 I took off for Grandma's and called Eric and told him why I was really in a bad mood on Sunday and asked him what was wrong with my face as I walked around Walgreens. I hung up so I could pick up the Rx then over to Grandma's where I found her watching some Obama special and got her meds for her and also found the cheesecake. I took Toto out for a little walk and figured out that she's got a couple outlets out then headed on my way over to the house to check up on the dogs. I called Zach but he didn't answer but his car was there so I went in through the garage. We talked about relationships, credit, Vegas, long distance relationships, relationship preferences, staying friends with your exes, Jake and the family dynamic and the letter he found and the dogs. We had a good time just chatting but around 9 I called it good and took off calling Eric back on the way home. We talked for a long time and I told him I didn't know how I was going to make it until midnight when they would probably show up. I was thinking about going to sleep. After hanging up at 10:30 I took care of some things I needed to mail out then showered and got ready for bed and climbed in. Ian called and said they were on their way and it was a little before midnight. I was compiling messages from LPC and going through my myspace inbox. They pulled in around 12:45 and I got hugs from both boys and Ian's hair is so short, his summer cut. I pretty much put them to bed and was reading a little when Ian was like "Karrah? I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" so we went downstairs and they had some cereal with blueberries and we sat in the dining room chatting about health insurance, the show (Radiohead), people who pee in the bed and a very brilliant plan of flipping the mattress over with the sheet still on then getting the hell out before your hosts wake up. We all turned in and I told Ian I would wake him up in the morning to see if he still wanted to do breakfast with Sos. I read for 5 minutes and went to bed, but had an extremely hard time falling asleep.
Tuesday 8/19, I went straight home and started cleaning. I had a lot of shit to get done to make my place look halfway presentable so I started right in by getting the kitchen totally spotless then dumped most of the dead plants, dumped the flowers Sos gave me for my birthday, vacuumed the main floor and coffee table grooves, vacuumed the stairs and upstairs, cleaned the guest sink and toilet, did a couple loads of laundry and stored some comforters and organized the second bedroom closet more effectively and cleaned up quite a bit of the clutter on the chest by my bed. I got rid of a few more magazines as well and hung up my Bowie piece and the cd display thing Brandon made me. I got so much done and it felt good but there's still a lot of other things I need to work on, like just fucking finishing the painting that needs to be done. I ate dinner while talking to Eric, curry, and kind of made plans for the weekend then Ian called so we talked for a little while and his plans for the next day and the day after so we'll see how that works out. Talked to Sos next to set up a possible breakfast / coffee with Ian on Thursday. I talked to Alishia for over an hour about her potential new house and her bid and all that and relationships and growing up and it was a really productive call I think. I talked to Susan briefly then worked on this and Kay-See called to make dinner plans so we'll see how that pans out and also for updates but didn't hear any of hers. I showered and got ready for bed and cursed my face. Slept incredibly well, especially since I went to bed before 11.
Monday 8/18, I had to get up early to take the fam to the airport. Dropped them off without incident except Dad's gas gauge came on during the ride back so that freaked me out. Went to the bank and my bf’s accomplice wasn't there to interrogate this time. At home I read some mags and fell asleep for over an hour and just as I was waking up Eric called and I felt bad because I was so incredibly out of it while he was talking and it was just not a very productive conversation. I did some laundry, ate dinner, cheesecake, mags and pretty much lounged and went to bed.
Monday 8/25, Talked to Jess before the day's end and decided to meet at Grandma Marie's for dinner etc. I called and left a message for Eric telling him to call me if he needed anything and that I’m there for him if he needs help. Eric wasn't at home when I arrived so I called and he was at REI and on his way home. I was playing on my computer while he shaved and got ready and we were out the door headed north. Traffic sucked but cleared up once we hit 5. We sat in the living room talking and GM bustled in the kitchen prepping for guests. She asked me if I was laughing at her hair. Then we talked shit about GW and Jess tried to say her Grandma liked him and her Grandma would make horrified faces. Day arrived with food so we took off shortly after for Azteca where our server was quick and very to the point, just the way we like it. No we don't want an appetizer, no we don't want to hear the specials, just give it to us, and quickly please. The bill was paid and we headed out and Eric got Jess with the fake cigarette and she asked why it was funny and Eric responded that he has a seventh grader's sense of humor. We decided to go to downtown Everett to see our school and ended up taking some detours to the red house, MC's house, Jess' Dad's old house and my old house before heading downtown to show him the school. He was impressed then Jess got off the phone with "Willie" and we found a DQ via googl and headed toward it on Evergreen Way but had to detour. We arrived and were laughing about Jess' Mexican pizza. We ordered then took a seat toward the back and talked about terrorists and the shirts we want to wear, especially to "Willie's" Lebanese restaurant. My favorite is the eagle carrying a turban wearing terrorist in it's talons. We were laughing so hard talking about bringing an eagle aboard the plane in a mini body bag. We were seriously in hysterics. Then there was the terrorist dump truck scenario with the turban flapping out the window in mockery. Our conversation came full circle back to the Mexican pizza again on the way out and blizzards and how any tourist would love such American fare. We continued to laugh all the way back to her Grandma's then she begged us not to leave her there but we had to because it was 9 and we both had to work the next morning. I gave her a hug and told her I'd see her in two weeks then we drove home and Eric told me how much he appreciates me and why so that was nice.

We got the stuff then headed into Seattle and found parking easily and up to her’s where we found her and Ky chatting. Breakfast was almost ready so we hunkered down, chatted, then dished up and started the juicy gossip. The food was so good and I ate a ton and we watched Friends in the background. We hung out there for quite a while checking out shoes online and laughed about Friends and Eric getting hooked on it. We left around noon and headed down to Chrystol and Schuyler’s but hadn’t heard from them so we took a detour by the place with the chair I like but it was closed or something so we went by their house and planned to drop the baby but they were home and spotted Eric, but not before he could plant it.

We walked back to their house and in the process Chrystol and I received some cat calls then chowed down. We watched Lulu go crazy under the rug and I started falling asleep. We decided to hit B&N in U-Village and Chrystol and I took off to check out the art books then the boys joined us and found some penis book that freaked me out because there was a guy with a two foot flaccid one and it totally grossed me out and all I could say was, “That can’t be real. It can’t. You don’t think it’s real do you? It can’t be” but I was overruled. We parted ways because it was about 6 and I needed to go to Grandma’s to drop off her juice so we did that and took the dog out and talked with her for a little bit then went to the store and picked up a few things then home.

We went down to Red Robin to have a drink and I talked to Eric who told me him, Chrystol and Schuyler were going to see Tropic Thunder at 10:15 in Ballard if I wanted to go. So Jess and I snacked and talked and made plans for London then at 8:15 we packed up and left on our respective ways. I made a mad dash for home and talked to both Eric and Chrystol on my way and told them about my face and Chrystol could sympathize and said she'd set aside some stuff for me and had some other tips. At home I hurriedly showered and got ready and back out the door to Ballard and made pretty good time.

I think Eric liked the Tony Taglioni preview the best though. We walked back to their house talking about the movie all the way and headed home shortly after. Chrystol had given me a little card thing so I opened that when we got home and it was a really nice note with a picture of me and Kassie from our photo shoot. We got ready for bed and hit the sack.
Friday 8/22, I left straight from work to go up to Jessica's Mom's and talked to Grandma who wasn't feeling good then Eric and sat in traffic for a long time.

Then another time we were going in circles and the back end slipped out from behind us and we almost went in and Jess couldn't believe I didn't fall off. We went back and Day wanted to know what I wanted for dinner and decided on steak. I showered off and put some clothes on and we hung out talking and enjoying the nice weather. We ate dinner and afterward were craving ice cream so we went down to the little store while Day got the fire on the beach going and checked out the late night locals. We got chocolate peanut butter and Jess called the guy with the long hair, even though they both had long hair. Back to the house with lots of stories being traded then we constructed our banana splits and Jess had about three times the amount I did with way more toppings. We went down to the beach and she filled me in on Tim and all her other goings-on and we were laughing hysterically and I was enthralled with all that's been happening. We stayed down there until it got pretty cold then headed back up and her Mom was asleep on the couch so we crawled into her bed which was incredibly comfortable and one of those elevating beds. We started the Other Boleyn Girl and she fell asleep about 5 minutes into it and I watched for a while then turned it off and went to bed. Maybe 11:30.

I got a donut at the store for breakfast and instantly felt guilty for it afterward and vowed to run after work, which I did, and ran most of the two miles only stopping a few times, briefly, to walk and keep a side ache at bay. I came home to a house that looked as if no one had been there despite leaving two sleeping boys there that morning. Ian made it home but never found Silver Platters even though we texted and I told him where it was. I lounged and didn't want to go dancing at all and after a phone call with Susan we decided against it. I got through some mags and relaxed and talked to Eric at some point I'm sure. I showered, ate some leftovers, packed for Jessica's and probably tried to get to bed early.
Wednesday 8/20, The weather was shitty so I was anticipating a call from Ian saying they weren't making the drive but that call never came. Jess called and I'm going up on Friday after work for lake-fun. On my way home I called Ian and told him the weather sucked and he said it was blowing him. He said he'd call when they were on their way to my house around midnight. I called Grandma to tell her the meds were being taken care of and that I would be there later in the evening. I went home and found my new fireplace screen waiting for me on my front stoop and was so excited. I put it together and set it up and took the ac downstairs and my living room looks very nice. I polished off a few mags in between doing last-minute tidying up. I mostly relaxed then ate dinner and checked traffic. At 7 I took off for Grandma's and called Eric and told him why I was really in a bad mood on Sunday and asked him what was wrong with my face as I walked around Walgreens. I hung up so I could pick up the Rx then over to Grandma's where I found her watching some Obama special and got her meds for her and also found the cheesecake. I took Toto out for a little walk and figured out that she's got a couple outlets out then headed on my way over to the house to check up on the dogs. I called Zach but he didn't answer but his car was there so I went in through the garage. We talked about relationships, credit, Vegas, long distance relationships, relationship preferences, staying friends with your exes, Jake and the family dynamic and the letter he found and the dogs. We had a good time just chatting but around 9 I called it good and took off calling Eric back on the way home. We talked for a long time and I told him I didn't know how I was going to make it until midnight when they would probably show up. I was thinking about going to sleep. After hanging up at 10:30 I took care of some things I needed to mail out then showered and got ready for bed and climbed in. Ian called and said they were on their way and it was a little before midnight. I was compiling messages from LPC and going through my myspace inbox. They pulled in around 12:45 and I got hugs from both boys and Ian's hair is so short, his summer cut. I pretty much put them to bed and was reading a little when Ian was like "Karrah? I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" so we went downstairs and they had some cereal with blueberries and we sat in the dining room chatting about health insurance, the show (Radiohead), people who pee in the bed and a very brilliant plan of flipping the mattress over with the sheet still on then getting the hell out before your hosts wake up. We all turned in and I told Ian I would wake him up in the morning to see if he still wanted to do breakfast with Sos. I read for 5 minutes and went to bed, but had an extremely hard time falling asleep.
Tuesday 8/19, I went straight home and started cleaning. I had a lot of shit to get done to make my place look halfway presentable so I started right in by getting the kitchen totally spotless then dumped most of the dead plants, dumped the flowers Sos gave me for my birthday, vacuumed the main floor and coffee table grooves, vacuumed the stairs and upstairs, cleaned the guest sink and toilet, did a couple loads of laundry and stored some comforters and organized the second bedroom closet more effectively and cleaned up quite a bit of the clutter on the chest by my bed. I got rid of a few more magazines as well and hung up my Bowie piece and the cd display thing Brandon made me. I got so much done and it felt good but there's still a lot of other things I need to work on, like just fucking finishing the painting that needs to be done. I ate dinner while talking to Eric, curry, and kind of made plans for the weekend then Ian called so we talked for a little while and his plans for the next day and the day after so we'll see how that works out. Talked to Sos next to set up a possible breakfast / coffee with Ian on Thursday. I talked to Alishia for over an hour about her potential new house and her bid and all that and relationships and growing up and it was a really productive call I think. I talked to Susan briefly then worked on this and Kay-See called to make dinner plans so we'll see how that pans out and also for updates but didn't hear any of hers. I showered and got ready for bed and cursed my face. Slept incredibly well, especially since I went to bed before 11.
Monday 8/18, I had to get up early to take the fam to the airport. Dropped them off without incident except Dad's gas gauge came on during the ride back so that freaked me out. Went to the bank and my bf’s accomplice wasn't there to interrogate this time. At home I read some mags and fell asleep for over an hour and just as I was waking up Eric called and I felt bad because I was so incredibly out of it while he was talking and it was just not a very productive conversation. I did some laundry, ate dinner, cheesecake, mags and pretty much lounged and went to bed.
