Sickly
eyes burning
under weather
mahtin yearning
to feel better
my petitioning boss keeps harassing me to get out there and work. i've had this cough since tuesday and i think that with one more day of rest, i'd start to feel better.
yes, i know, it's bad that i'm gathering signatures for money. i like to think of it as making extra money from the state during my free time (since i am underemployed). i was really counting on making a lot of money this spring so i could move out of my apartment, but i have been SO sick in the last month. and i do so much good work for indybay when i'm at home...
I liked this picture
The Coalition for Immokalee Workers didn't want Indybay to use
this photo, but I quite liked it. This has nothing to do with the fact that I worked at McDonald's for 2 and a half years.
So....
Today I figured out why people here bike all year round-- because it doesn't usually rain as bad as it did today. I got so wet in the first mile after work that I decided to go get lunch and do food shopping at Berkeley Bowl on the way home. When I got into the store I realized that my usually sufficient cheapo boots had puddles in them. You wouldn't believe how flooded the garden was yesterday, and that was before all the rain today!!
Speaking of work, today I cleaned my weekly client's house for the 2nd to last time. Sad Mahtin. Weekly clients rock, and they were my only one.
My cat is missing yet again. Even in the wind and a bit of rain. It's actually been pretty warm out tonight, I guess. She is supposed to have 4 medications tonight, and she missed them all.
Today my copy of the book Shelter came in the mail. Too bad I'm reading 3 other books right now.
I hope I can make it to Mardi Gras tomorrow, and maybe visit Crystal, Oliver, and of course Wick. And get to the gym. And get lots of work done on the site. :/
Congratulations to Crystal and Wick!!
Crystal and Wick are the proud parents of Oliver, who weighed in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces this weekend. In the last month he had moved into breech position, so Crystal had to have the surgery. Moriah said that Crystal is relieved to not be carrying him around inside anymore, and that Wick has hardly put the baby down.
Good for them! :) We always need more kids in the anarchist community. Sadly, Crystal and her belly won't get to participate in the
Berkeley Mardi Gras parade. Moriah joked that we could try to bring the parade to the hospital.. ;) (what the hell am i going to wear to mardi gras?)
I will try to visit in the next day or two.
