Two weeks, holy cow

I think that this is the longest I've gone without entering a blog post in .. well, since 2003.

Lots going on, I guess. Work has been consuming, and personal growth work has been consuming a lot of my time. That, and, for the first time since Tex Johnny died, I've had a regular playmate in R. It's been GREAT having someone who wants to spend time with me, just hanging out, having fun, doing things - I NEARLY played Frisbee (tm) golf with him today - but had a prior commitment. Uh, hello? Me? Flying kites on a beach? Playing Frisbee (tm) golf? Answering the phone on a late Friday afternoon and agreeing to go to a movie on 90 minutes' notice?

This is just not the "me" that I've known.

I've just juiced some of Jeremy's left over fruit that needs to be used or will be as sour as he is - Just made a lovely cocktail - one jigger vodka, one juiced ruby grapefruit, one juiced small orange, and one juiced blood orange over ice in a highball glass. YUM!! I'm calling it a Blood Diamond Greyhound.

There's something I haven't posted about - Jeremy. He's still gone - totally out of contact. I packed all of his things up last week, and it's neatly sitting on the garage shelves. He's either finally gone off and killed himself, is being supported by some new person I'm unaware of, or has wandered off to another place and time.

In any of those outcomes, he's chosen to leave his things behind and to refrain from any adult conversation. Once his fruit left in the 'fridge is consumed, and after April 25 (the date I told him I was going to hold his possessions through,) he will be only a faded memory.

I have my guest room back, however. Today, I re-hung pictures in there and cleaned. Again. More, actually.

Brought home a carpet steamer/shampooer from church - we didn't know we had it and didn't know if it worked or not. I cleaned it all up today, and it works - it's just not getting the carpeting wet. Hm. I intend to use it on the stairs, the landings and the bedrooms to get all of the Jackie/Jeremy residue out. More will be attempted later tonight.

Back when I bought my iPod, I also bought a Kuda USA phone pad to hold the iPod in the Red Rocket. It's languished here these last weeks, and yesterday - I finally decided to try to install it myself. And, it WORKED beautifully. I installed the clip holder to the pad (myself, thank you) and got the whole thing working.

I also cleaned up the car, cleaned the garage, bagged up the recycling and took it out, pruned the hibiscus on the courtyard, cleaned the kitchen (a never ending story,) and did the church thing.

Now, I'm watching "break up" or whatever that Jennifer Anniston movie is. What was it that Brian said? "Even when Jennifer Anniston is offstage you can hear her acting suck."

And, the rich art buyer guy in the movie looks JUST like my favorite porn star. i can hardly wait for the credits.
