Interesting Week

It's been a very interesting week, both good and bad. Mostly fun. This past week I got to see three friends who live far away - John from California last weekend and then Gillian and Brandon from Atlanta during the week. I was incredibly happy to see everyone. After the sad no-show at both gatherings I tried to get neighbors to attend in October, I was in need of love and I got it.

Tonight, the pipes under the kitchen sink decided to let me know they've had enough. The sink and the base of the cabinet aren't doing too well, either. MonsterMustDie thinks he can fix it himself. MonsterMustDie just got home from Phillipe's party where he drank too much. We shall see what his more sober thoughts on this are tomorrow - after I work my retail gig and he marches in the High Point Christmas Parade as a banner-bearer for BuzziSpace USA.

 

John and moi got to meet up for dinner at The Pit and a good hang out and conversation,

followed by watching him play bass with Lukas Nelson in Durham, North Carolina.

 

Then it was back to reality the next day, going back to my little part time retail gig.

I did something I rarely do - I actually bought something for myself. I could not resist buying the  Red Fox pajamas. MonsterMustDie has not seen them yet. I think it might be a good idea to spring it on him one cold night when I get home from work after he has already gone to bed.  I did confer with Gilli, Sandy, and Karen via text messages before deciding that I must have this. 

A couple of days later, I was delighted that Brandon and Gillian made a trip to High Point just to see me. Gillian, never missing a shopportunity, brought me multiple belated birthday presents. We gave Brandon and Gillian the short tour of Casa WereMonster. Then we had dinner at 98 Asian Bistro before they headed back on the road home to Atlanta.  

 

 Love you, Gilli.
