"I don't feel right", I thought as I walked to work without my iPod. In my usual rush to get out of the apartment, I'd forgotten to pick it up, even though I'd gone through my mental checklist of what I needed to take with me. So, I walked to work with just my thoughts to entertain me, minus the soundtrack. I wasn't thrilled with it, but I lived.

I clocked in for work and went on a business-related errand which was also a good chance to enjoy some of the great warm fall weather. It was the only time of the day I was going to be out when the sun was, so I took advantage of it. On a side note, I really hate it when people who are off on a gorgeous day like yesterday are just about to leave the store, and say something like, "Hey, enjoy the day!!" while on the way out of the door. Right. Do you really think I'm going to get to enjoy the day outside when I'm stuck inside until well after dark?. I know they're just trying to be nice, but it's still annoying at times, lol...

This past Saturday night, my friends and I had an 'end of summer' party. It was a much-needed release for me since I've not been as socially active over the past few months as usual. Anyway, it was a great night of carousing, eating, and drinking . I don't know what time it was when I decided to leave, but three of us were going to catch a cab when my phone rang. It was *E*.

I guess you couldn't call it 'drunk calling', since she called me...

We were still in party-mode when I was speaking to her and the thought hit me to pass the phone off to my other two close friends so she could 'meet' them. I've been anxious for *E* to meet my friends, so every time we're on the phone and someone else is around, I'm always subjecting her to the disembodied voices of my friends she's never met, but have seen photos of. While this was going on, my friend, Bagel, got a call from his new girlfriend who is soon to move to Philly from another state. She also made the phone rounds, lol.


I've been told by a few people and have heard second-hand from others that I'm smiling a lot more these days. They aren't far off the mark. Smiles do come much more easily to me whenever I think of *E* and the possibilities that lay ahead. I've noticed the difference, too. It's a good thing, when on what feels like the worst day ever, you find a reason to smile. For me, that's *E*

The view from my front windows this morning. As per usual for the past few weeks or so, I was awakened by rain beating down outside and on my skylight. Rain is good and needed but it's been soggy for a while. I don't mind that much since it's warm out; there's nothing more dispiriting than waking up to rain and cold.
