i suppose i could justfully call this my worst, well, month in a long time --
my car was hit by some jerk who didn't even stop. thank goodness i probably won't be pulled over for a sheared-off side light...
there was a slight snafu with one of the people who i was hosting when i was trying to pick her up from balboa park. let's just say i was having a panic attack since i couldn't find her, her cell phone was off, and i was officially late for a manditory choir practice...
hosting had some interesting issues this time around - one of the major ones being a toilet that seriously overflowed and wouldn't stop, even after i turned the water off. i had to call maintenance (and they replaced it today. it was having issues when i moved in, and i think that it was just time...) thank goodness for the cool mop i got at the del mar fair last year. hehe...i had a tom sawyer moment and had my hostee mopping after i pointed out that it did such a good job absorbing water that there was a line left in the puddle of water after you picked the mop up. ;)
and then there's all the work stress and i've just been exhausted and fighting a rotten mood the last week...
however, i think last night made up for it all. funny how a short 5 1/2 hours can make up for a lot of p.i.t.a. days. i don't think i've danced that well in a very long time...and the look on some of the faces of the people i danced with...let's just say i should hopefully have an easier time of it next time i go to lindy groove to dance. ;)
dad's in town too. we spent the afternoon goofing around. i was feeling guilty, though, since i knew how much work i had that i left behind at the office. at least tomorrow's dance lesson starts later than usual, so i might work a little late. maybe. i hate being at the office by myself, and mom and sis will be in sacremento talking to our representitives to keep them from making stupid choices on some of the bills they're considering.
other than that, i discovered on sunday that one of the bene's of ca living is being able to sit outside in the evenings and not get eaten by mosquitoes. time to get my patio into shape...i think i'm going to try and use it more! mostly it's going to be about getting some plants that will give me a bit of privacy since it's open on one side to the rest of the complex. maybe some society garlic...and a fast-growing vine for my metal screen....
anyway...i think my bed is calling me...
