2. I'm helping Skip with his project at work.
They're putting out signs for their sign program. I'm going to get paid for just riding along. It'll be interesting.

4. Kind of like those signs
at the side of the road at the red lights???

I love the ones they put on the roads where the speed limit is 50! How can you read them??

12. No.
They're signs for the company he works for, a window and siding place. They have a sign program where if the person whose house they are working on agrees to allow them to put it there twice a year for a certain number of years, they can get 10% off the work they did. So we're going around to all the houses whose owners agreed to it, and we're putting out signs. What's great is in the next week, Skip's boss will get a million calls from people bitching about it. And then he asks for the 10% they saved by agreeing to do it. God, I wish they'd let me do that for a week. That'd be awesome! LOL

22. It's a little quiet, no?
My soon to be ex-husband and my two sons have gone up to Quebec City. It's nice with just me and my fifteen-year-old, but quiet. You'll adjust. Isn't it strange, isn't it wonderful, how life goes on? Just when you get used to living one way, something happens and you're starting afresh again. :hug:

20. That too.

Luckily, I only have a little homework. I need to read through the gender identity section of my human sexuality text and answer some questions, and start researching my paper for composition class. Nothing too bad.

14. Watching Roseanne and Mork & Mindy, graphic arts studying...
maybe going out to the bookstore.

As with tonight, no bar. The events going on this weekend don't appeal to me...


Plus I'd been stood up by a person who said "will respond to all, even if it's to say no" - how very human...

18. Dosing on painkiller to get through the bad weather
The changes in air-pressure and the damp weather mess me up pretty badly.

And if I'm up for it I'm doing some housework. It should be a very exciting weekend. :P

30. My parents are staying at my house due to my father's eye surgery
so I will need something to keep busy.


I don't know if I will make it this weekend.

I think I will spend a lot of time on DU.

41. He is fine, thank you.
My parents are not easy to be around, but my Aunt and Uncle have to go out of town for a few days so they are staying with me until Monday.

This will be a long weekend.

I will need DU to make it.

35. Trying to forget that people can be incredibly cruel, that things aren't
always how they seem, that I've been made a fool of (again) and that sometimes having a friend hurts... really bad.
