Aug. 17th, 2014 08:16 amJeebus, it's been five days since I posted. That won't do. I haven't been in a funk, really. I've just been occupied with nothing much to say. And what have I been occupied with?
I've started packing for Burning Man in earnest, even though I'm not leaving for another six days. Everything but my bike is out of my basement storage and in my living room. Food is bought. Two bins are packed. Mentally, I'm already gone.
Schedule SNAFUs galore: My Aspiring Ex thought I was taking my son this weekend, even though I've had him for the previous two weekends. I had to tell her, with one night's notice, that yesterday was entirely booked up with beautification appointments. So she begged & whined me into agreeing to keeping him for last night. Then my waxing appointment got moved from 1100 to 1800 because the waxing place apparently had put me down for the wrong month. (That's what happens when you're anal like me and you call too far in advance, folks.) My time with my son devolved into dinner - I didn't get there until after his local pho joint closed - and dog walking. Poor boy.
Communicating with AX even about mundane stuff hasn't been happening much lately because she's seldom awake during daylight hours these days. If she starts wearing lots of black that'll be wonderful, but an email or a text now & then to sync up would be even better.
Work? Frustrating. Hurry up & wait, repeatedly. See "mentally gone" above.
But speaking of beautification, my nails are now sporting a gel manicure, my first, in a shade that I call I Fingered Barbie. Of course they're still short; I'm a lesbian who's about to go on a camping trip. Once again I have long blue dreads & braids courtesy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
imflying. And yes, my legs did eventually get waxed.
Oh, and apropos of nothing, now that I've got a girlfriend and haven't been active on OKCupid for months, I've gotten two nibbles in as many weeks from people I messaged earlier. It's true: they can smell it, like sharks or something. Yeah, I'll ping them back, but lack of desperation & loneliness is a wonderful feeling. Not quite as good as being in love, but pretty damn good.
