sloggin' along

ffloWhy is it, d'ya s'pose, that I have little to no interest in baseball this year? I suppose it may kick in later, with rooting against the Yankees in the Series or something, but so far, eh. I couldn't even name who's in the playoffs. You'd think this year I'd be getting into it. I'm starting to feel like I'm in a fog again.
Can't seem to get after the basic domestic tasks this week---laundry, dishes. I've been having spurts at doing well at that, too. I did cook for myself a little, but in general it's not been the best week. Feeling kinda isolated in the world, somehow.
And where are all you lj people? Not as many posts from the "friends" who are friends---a high percentage feeds of cartoons and news-y/political stuff. Is there some kinda bloggy sloggy downturn going on? (Exceptions noted---and appreciated.)
Not dealing with the stove yet. Maybe tomorrow. Oh, but now driving workmate's wife's sister to the airport tomorrow night. Workmate still in ICU, after some complications.
Watched some "Freaks And Geeks" on DVD tonight. Good show, but depressing to look at somehow, just now. H. loved the show, yeah, but I don't think that's it. Maybe it doesn't hold up to repeat viewing? Even that delightfully geeky, lippy smile/grin of morose-faced Bill, the kid with glasses---it's barely moving my heart. I've got a Marx Bros movie in the wings, but tonight I'm nowhere near manic (or even present) enough for it to have the effect the Bros had on Woody's character in Hannah. Dammit.
Wonder how much of this is the down side of caffeine abuse cycling.
Did have a postcard from dear ones. Maybe a trip soon.

Hi
Date: Oct. 7th, 2004 10:06 pm (UTC)I've been sort of out of touch this week. Didn't talk to you today because when I got home from my AA meeting (which I'll tell you about at some later time), my spousal unit was playing poker yet again. He swears he'd not going to put any more real money into it, but I think I may have heard that one before.
Had a bit of a fender-bender in the Subaru today--actually a door-smoosher. No one was hurt, and my car was the only one damaged. Unfortunately, I think we'll probably end up having to replace the front passenger-side door, which I bet will be expensive. The whole thing was my fault, and the other car wasn't damaged, and there was a bit of a language barrier with the woman I hit, so no insurance companies are involved. I don't want our rates to go up, but I'm wondering if I did the right thing. I know who the woman is, so it's not like I can't locate her if I need to (her child is in day care across the street), but I'm used to going through official channels for such things. Oh well.
I didn't have that good of a day today--did see Donna at the gym, but then there was the little wreck. J's morning play date was okay except that Sangeetha was exhausted from being up with the baby all night. Then I had to help out in the kindergarten class, which was okay except that J got in trouble as soon as he walked in the door. (This time, he'd kissed one of his classmates on the bus--she didn't like it.) He was fine in class, though. Then there was the sitting out in the hallway for the hour of his music class--at least this time I was forewarned, so I brought a book.
We went out for dinner--I had a free entree coupon from Famous Dave's BBQ. I had iced tea--no martini--didn't like it--then off to the AA meeting.
What a day. I s'pose I should look at the bright side. At least I managed to stay sober. And I met some women who seem pretty cool.
Sorry that you're having a rough week. And I'm sorry about your oven. I know I can't fix that, but let me know if there's anything else I might be able to do to help. Hang in there. We'll talk soon.
