Someone at work just texted me "The Orion is always there." wtf. I guess I've been accidentally included in the seekrit plans. Soon someone will show up to kill me for knowing too much.

Today's mental debate: I'm taking the train to Maine tomorrow. The fastest way to get to that train is the commuter rail, but it only gives me 10 minutes to transfer. The commuter rail is notoriously unreliable. Do I take the longer route and give myself plenty of time?

Take the longer route, Jesse. Unless there's another Maine train later.

I had kind of a shitshow of an evening--was going out with three friends. Two are a couple. Well, one had just hooked up with someone new so she disappeared with that girl early on. And the other two friends got totally drunk and had a fight. And I looked at the block long line to get into the lesbian bar (I had paid the $25 cover already as part of a weekend pass) and said fuck it, and went home before 11pm. Sad.

Do I take the longer route and give myself plenty of time?

YES!

Eesh, meara. At least Friday night sounded fun?

Unless there's another Maine train later.

Yeah, that's the rub -- the trains are hours apart.

I know the right thing to do, but soooo laaaaazy.

If you're really feeling lazy, you could, you know, take a car.

Interestingly, that would probably take longer than the commuter rail, and (according to Google maps) could take as long as the subway! Traffic, mang.

I have slept most of the last 2 days and I swear I could fall asleep again right now. I am not sick and this has just got to be hormones or depression/anxiety. I am forcing myself to stay up and do some things around the house. It is actively filthy. At least here I can post without shame or anyone rushing in to solve the issue. I just need accountability.

Done:

litter boxes
swept kitchen
1 load laundry done, out drying in sun
filled dishwasher have it running
making pot of coffee to chill for next week
cooking rice to make meals with tonight - next week
washed down 1/3 of the cabinet fronts (they were gross, been months since I washed them)
started cleaning my bathroom, but need to finish

break now with coffee.

Okay people, I had the best time seeing Aims and Em yesterday, and her delightful cousins. First, she looks incredible and she thrilled DH with her running leap into his arms. Now it may have had something to do with the Orlando sun, but that would be a minor factor, but she was just glowing. And Emeline! All growed up and stuff, and even more lovely in person than her pictures.

We went to [link] . This is a restaurant owned by my BIL's BIL. Pouchon was in New Orleans for the weekend so timing was off there, but he had the chef bring us a round of free appetizers and discounted the whole bill 20%. Pouchon is a renowned chef and the food was nothing short of divine. (we were all trying each other's stuff) His restaurant is listed in the top 20 of Orlando/Kissimmee area and was the subject of the Cooking channel's Emeril's Florida. Seriously, the food was over the top scrumptious. There was even a jazz trio playing outside and one of the patron's sang a few songs.

Great people, great food, great entertainment. Seriously, I need more of these days in my life!

meara, that is a seriously crappy evening. If we could have a do-over I would have zapped you to Orlando to dine with Aimee and us.

Rebecca - that is some serious accomplishment! Break well deserved.

Timelies all!

Got groceries(actually got stuff for this week and next since there won't be time for a grocery run after the long weekend.) and am now washing the little guy's clothes and stuff. Typical Sunday.
