| Thursday, September 25, 2003 Whew! What a crazy month it's been. The past weekend was good but the rest of the month's been pretty less than ideal. I was in LA/Beverly Hills/Santa Monica over the weekend. Met with a high school pal on Saturday. We ate lunch and shopped the rest of the day at the Beverly Center which isn't the best mall but it has a pet shop. We played with two pomerian puppies who were too adorable for their own good. Teeny, tiny fur balls with spunk. I'm thinking about getting a dog now... Met another pal on Sunday and we checked out the Taste of Santa Monica which is a much more posh version of the Taste of Chicago. For you Chicagoans, it's like the Taste of Randolph Street. My buddy had invite two other girls and one of them was hilarious and very candid. She ended up pouring out the details of her life to me and a fortune teller told her a few hours later that she shares too much and should watch it. I've decided that I definitely appreciate people who share their thoughts and feelings openly. There's absolutely way too much going on with work. Traveling, developing and testing an application, managing my project... The rewards for being a good worker bee don't seem to go beyond more work and responsibility. Of course, it doesn't help that I also try to go "above and beyond". I enrolled myself in a self-study course and the test is on Tuesday. And then there's this nasty abdominal pain that I've had for a couple weeks now. Taking deep breaths were impossible. Walking more than a couple blocks was too painful. Sleeping was no good either. Cipro has helped tremendously but today was my last pill so I'm afraid of how I'll feel in a couple days. I've got an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday but there's no guarantee that they'll figure out what's wrong with me. It's pretty scary. I feel helpless, frustrated... |
