Jeff's Journal

That was a nice conversation with Mom, laughing about how long it's been since I've been out of Maryland. At first we thought it was when I went to California in 2002, but then I remembered I went to Aunt Fran's in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. Anyhow it did make me realize that I need to get...

I made it through the day. Wasn't so sure of that when I got here this morning. Been fighting off this bug since Tuesday. Taking a nap in the car at lunchtime helped. I think I'll make it to class tonight, don't want to miss it, it's the last one. I'm building a little streak of not using any... Sign in to see full entry.

Kind of ran out of gas today. I was pretty peppy this morning, maybe I just need to pace myself better. Going to the first place singles meeting tonight. Really want to get out and socialize with more people, I've missed that since I've been with Lisa. Speaking of Lisa, I'm a bit annoyed that she... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling just a wee bit "under the weather" (Like where else would I be? On top of the weather?) I think it's got something to do with the fact that we had summer weather yesterday, back to winter today. Kind of tough on the body. They kicked me out of training because I didn't really need it. Too... Sign in to see full entry.

Well it was nice to have that training and get off early. Tomorrow and Wednesday too. Extra time is especially valuable this week because I'm going to New York for the day on Saturday so I'll only have Sunday to do my usual weekend stuff. Cell phone rang awhile ago. I suppose it was Lisa wanting to... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't know about that shrink. He spent most of the first session telling me what I can't do. He said my idea that I can make a lot of money and still have time for fun was a "fantasy" This kind of help I don't need. Toward the end I seemed to be getting through to him a little better so I'm going... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling a bit sleepy today. Stayed up late to do laundry last night since I never know when the machines will be available. Why they thought one washer and one dryer would be enough for six apartments I'll never know. Then I woke up at 7:00 as usual. My body doesn't seem to know when it's a weekend...

I'm feeling a little less fragile now. I've got a tiny bit of money saved, a little bit of credit on my credit cards and a tiny bit of leave time at work. I've moved a half step away from the edge and I feel better for it. Haven't heard from Rev Nancy on my proposal to go back to volunteering for... Sign in to see full entry.

Definitely feeling better about the money situation. Cornell is paying his rent on time and paid part of what he owes on the utilities. (To answer Sassyass's question, the cable bill is high because it includes the installation fees, normally it's about $50 per month). Progress is slow, but it will... Sign in to see full entry.

Well the roads don't look too bad from the window anyhow. I should be able to get home without too much trouble. Not allowed to snow or be cold tomorrow. Tomorrow is March 1, and March is a spring month. Suzanne tells me I should be a stand up comedian. A few people have told me that. Maybe I'll... Sign in to see full entry.
