@ 6:40 p.m. Heaven help me. I'm downloading Christina Aguilera's Stripped album to burn. I don't care what she looks like, I love the messages in her music, trite as they may be. I haven't had time to update at all lately. Every time I'm on the computer Mom yells at me about something. Mom, her friend Jodie and I went to Art Walk on Friday. It's hard going out with Mom, especially to artistic events, because she is a celebrity in Olympia. She gets stopped constantly by people wanting to talk to her because she's the drama director at OHS. It was double the annoyance Friday night because Jodi got recognized a lot too. One funny thing happened though. We were looking on the Arts Walk map to find something known as "found art" which is art made from found things, aka garbage. The location we were looking for was a few blocks away from the rest of the Arts Walk. When we finally found it, it was just some hippy's house with people sitting around making art. We just hung out with them for like two minutes. Why would you put your house on the map when you don't have any art to show? Last night Mom, Mike and I went to the Lemon Grass. It was totally yummy. I also went to see my new therapist, who I like a lot. I have not smoked pot in awhile and am doing ok with it. I have only had two cigarettes in October. I know the month is only five days long, but oh well. As for family drama, my Uncle Bill is flying to Oakland, which is like 10 minutes away from where my Grandma lives but he doesn't want to go see her. She's always bragging about how close they are, but he can't stand to be around her. He lived with her during her worst struggles with alcoholism and he doesn't like to reopen those wounds. I totally understand because Grandma drives me nuts too. But she's not going to be around too too much longer. I just hope they can put their problems behind them someday. I must admit I hate my job. Some of the credit union members are total assholes to me on the phone. It takes it's toll on me mentally after awhile. I should try to do what Dr. Dave says and turn those negative feelings into energy to do actions. Ok dinner calls. Older Entries |
