Today ended up being a bit better than yesterday. The people that I like were there, and those I’m not fond of were more personable than usual. I was going to play with pills but someone didn’t show up and so I was register jockey once more. Neither of us wanted to cook so we went to BK and sat in there listening to rap and eating greasey stuff.
And then when we got home I found a great surprise, a mystery package from Amazon. We’d gotten a notice about it yesterday and I left a note telling the UPS guy to leave it on the back stairs today. I figured it was someone I’m friends with online getting me something to celebrate finishing school, but lo and behond it was a complete stranger who just simply likes my blog. So thank you, random Metafilter surfer who shall remain nameless, for buying the one item on my list that has been there for years. It’s gorgeous.
It appears as though half of our original class has dropped out, so we’re back down to about 12 people in class. Part of me is sad, I mean these people just wasted about 2 months time in a class that they’ll never get any use out of. Another part of me thinks that it’s for the better, since they’ll no longer be wasting class time trying to figure out things that would take them several one-on-one sessions of class to on, something no one can afford to do in 7 days of learning (9 days of class, but 2 are exam days, so we only get 7 to actually learn anything in), as well as not barely passing class and then going out in the field and potentially fucking a lot of shit up because they moved a decimal in the wrong direction.
Speaking of class, I got a 97% on my final, giving me a final grade of 96% in Dosage I. There’s a good reason people check their homework off of mine.
Eddie’s mother made it in fine last night. I guess she’s down for 2 weeks rather than the 10 days we originally thought she’d be here. We’ll probably be spending lots of time down in that part of the state, which means Pickle will probably be spending lots of time down there as well, since I’d feel so awful leaving her in the cage from 7am until whenever we’d get home (12-14 hours later). Tonight I’m taking the crate from Mom’s and putting it in my car so I can just stop at the house, grab lunch, and then drive down to Mom’s with her. Danielle’s going to be there on Friday so she’ll finally get to meet Pickle.
I’m trying to find a decent tarot card reader for Eddie’s mom. She wants to get it done on this trip because she doesn’t know when she’ll be able to come down alone again, and she knows Neal wouldn’t go for it. Hopefully someone on the local pagan mailing list can recommend someplace for her, since I’m rusty on my cards and don’t like to do readings for people I’m close to anyway.
