- This week was terrible, with exceptions at the beginning and end.
- Saturday
I made a comic and got a lot of housework done while chatting on the
phone with my friend Sarah, with whom I have not spoken in months. It
was great to catch up with her.
- Sunday was pretty nice
too. I got up early to hang out with Meghan! She took a nap and when she
got up we ate pizza together, and then we went to the play 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche
(which was directed by our college friend John). We had a great time at
the play and we got to see our old pal Jorge, and then we hung out a
little bit more before she had to go. Then that night I was playing with
a Cartoon Network app on my phone and saw some footage I hadn't seen
before from an upcoming Steven Universe episode, and I couldn't find any references to it online anywhere (!!!) so I put a crappy version of the clip on Tumblr
and it got over five thousand notes because people were flipping out
about it. I don't think I've ever been among the first to find new SU
stuff before. It was cool.
- Monday was awful. I woke up
to multiple texts about various health emergencies for ALL THREE OF MY
BEST FRIENDS. Meghan was in the hospital for pain that turned out to be a
cyst (the first guess was a kidney stone), Victor went to the hospital
for some um groin stuff (and as I write this six days later he's still
there), and Jeaux found out he has to have surgery for a polyp in his
sinuses that's way way bigger than they thought. I got a lot done at
work despite spending a lot of time texting with people to find out what
was going on. And then after grocery shopping I had some burritos with
Jeaux at Moe's and was useless a lot at home.
- Tuesday
was kind of bad too. Work was okay and I ate potatoes with my mom in the
evening, and then I made jam muffins. Then my mom got mad at me when I
said the video she was watching had an excessive number of commercials,
and she packed up her stuff and left instead of sleeping over. I have no
idea why she was mad at me or why she did that, because like . . . we
bicker about stuff sometimes when we disagree, but in this case there
wasn't even an argument? I feel like I'm missing something that she
thinks I know what it is, but I don't.
- Wednesday I got
stuck at work an hour and a half past when I was trying to leave,
finishing up a proposal, and had trouble getting in touch with Jeaux
because his phone wasn't receiving texts for some reason. So I ended up
waiting ANOTHER twenty minutes after THAT before I got to meet up with
him after his phone started working again. We biked to Marlow's to try
to use a coupon, but it was too crowded, so we just ate at Panera. We
hung out and just talked about cartoons and stuff. After he left I
finished my comic drawing and talked to Victor on the phone, and helped
him with an application since he can't do very much from the hospital.
- Thursday
we got our proposal in without any problems, and at home I worked on
comics in preparation for Drink and Draw. And I found out my friend's
mom has breast cancer. I'm just going to drown or something, and kinda
feel like even with all the sympathy and support I give to other people,
I'm receiving silence and unnecessary hostility in other areas of my
life.
- Friday was pretty okay. Work was fine and after work Belle came to get me for Mel's hot dogs with Eric (I had a veggie dog of course) before we headed over to Drink and Draw. The air conditioning was broken so it was VERY hot, but we had a good time anyway. And I got to see Joy! Yay. I drew next month's So You Write comic and had a little time for fan art afterwards.
