Wednesday- Volunteering at the Obama campaign office was . . . odd. They didn't have computers. I guess data enterers were suppose to bring laptops. They didn't tell me that on the phone. I don't have one, so it was awhile before I did any data entry. When I started, I felt very inefficient and possibly incompetent. I was there right about five hours and when I was done my wimpy shoulders ached. I think I do not like doing data entry on a laptop.
I can't overcome my feelings of ambivalence about the whole political process and I felt like the only unenthusiastic person there. I fear I lack the audacity of hope.
Thursday- Don's 37th birthday. I made him a dinner he likes, brewed iced sweet tea, Starfire made the brownies. I got him a DVD and a book from his wish list. He is finished with the book, so I can read it when there is room in my cue.
Friday- Felt like buying myself a little something, so I went to the mall. Didn't see anything I liked, but I did find a gift for my brother's birthday in June. He likes that kind of stuff for his office at church.
I also picked up some groceries and things.
Saturday- I bought the rest of things I needed and got some of the cooking done. I think Saturday is not going to be a good day for that. Without realizing it, Saturday has become a laundry day/cleaning day and cooking didn't allow me to get my other things done. And I didn't even get that much cooking done. It felt off-kilter and I couldn't get into the swing of it.
Sunday- Church. After church Don and I wanted Taco Bell for lunch. The children (except one) made a great protest, so we made a deal. We took them home and went to Taco Bell ourselves for a quiet lunch, then hit the drive thu at McD's on the way home. Everyone was pleased with that arrangement.
Since I didn't find anything I liked Friday (I had in mind to buy a tee shirt for the warmer weather), I ordered one online. It's very silly and way too pricey for a tee shirt, but clothes really are a weakness of mine. I don't like fancy things, but I do like what I like.
It's from the UK, so it may take 28 days to get here. :sad: It will be in time for the meet up, though, so I will wear it when I'm out with Jen (though not to her job) and embarrass her for being seen with such a nerd.
Today- Finished up the cooking. Chicken pies are in the oven now. They'd better be really, really good because if they aren't I'm buying the yummy frozen ones from Sam's again. I'm going to have to do some catch up on the laundry later today.
Tomorrow- My ESXP friend is coming in from out of town. I am going to leave the day pretty open so I can drive her around to see her family, etc. There's a decent chance she will have me drop her off at the first stop and be done with me. On the one hand, it will be good for my energy levels. On the other hand, my feelings will be a little hurt. I feel like a foul-weather friend when someone only tells me about their troubles and doesn't want to hang out with me otherwise.
Wednesday- Cyborg's IEP meeting is Wednesday morning. Not expecting any difficulties. I'm off on a bad foot with his special ed teacher, so I need to do some serious sucking up. She will be his teacher of record for the immediate future and we need to be able to communicate. I come off prickly sometimes and it takes people awhile to warm up to me after that. Given time, I can usually win them over, so hopefully that will be so in this case, as well.
