...the ones I love best...


nothing ramble... ~ May 18, 2003 - 8:57 p.m.

a this-n-that kinda day.

I drank too much coffee, and got tired and wired.

but that didn't happen first. first, I got up early and went down to the funky little gyno clinic by my house for an HIV test. it's been feeling overdue, and it's been long enough since my last nervous-making incident that it'll actually mean something.

I'm hoping that I can talk vietnamese boy into getting tested too, for HIV and this-n-that also, so that we can play without worry. we'll see.

I go back to the clinic tomorrow for a pelvic exam and the rest of the tests. that's been way overdue, haven't done that in two years. so it's time. doing my best to take good care.

and I did yoga this weekend, for the first time in ages. OH it felt so good. I'm hoping I can keep up with it.

and I wrote a long e-mail to russell, and a couple of shorter ones to my sister, and did laundry and ran errands and did all kinds of other stuff that was NOT finishing my resume like I was gonna, or making review sheets for my math class tomorrow, or looking up some kind of theatre game to play during that block of time that is now unscheduled thanks to the music-and-dance teacher going back to the phillippines.

I can never figure out if I'm spelling phillipinnes right.

anyway, I'm just rambling. last night I had bad dreams. woke up at 4 a.m. in a cold sweat.

I went out for dinner with johanna, who is typing at the computer next to mine. we went to a farang restaurant and I had pizza for the first time in ages, and it was good.

I also got a tippy water bottle stand for my kitchen, which I've been wanting for a long time. since the water in lao is not drinkable, drinking water is delivered to people's houses in big jugs like you find on a water cooler. except that most people don't have water coolers, so they're a bit unweildy. so there are stands you can get, usually made out of welded rebar, that hold the bottle and have a hinge so that you can tip it without having to lift up the bottle yourself.

and yesterday, I got some nice floormats in good colors, one for my living room and one for my bedroom. I'm all into my house lately. feeling nesty.

anyway, I just want to ramble because it keeps me from doing any of the things I'm not doing right now.

so I'm gonna go and do them.

wish me luck...
