Today was close to the worst day ever without anything specific going wrong.
Work sucked. I was busy all day and didn’t get anything done.
My dive was cancelled. coulda guessed.
Went to the dentist today and need to have a filling replaced. So I have to go back for some drillin’ and fillin’
I took a nap at lunch and didn’t go to the beach all day.
Had an agrument this evening.
if it wasn’t for bad days there wouldn’t be good ones.
I rekkon.

I guess a lot of people are just making it back from a long weekend. Hope you had a good one! Welcome back!

I woke up this morning from a dream in which I was arguing with a guy from work. It was a very heated argument that was showing no signs of cooling off when the alarm went off. Why do I let a little thing like work consume so much of my life that I let it intrude on my sleep? I feel like I should have been on the clock at work for that dream. Also, I think the fights and arguments we have as adults are the same as the fights and arguments we had as children. Only with bigger toys involved.
I’d much rather have nice sex dreams like everyone else. I seldom have sex dreams. That I remember.
Monday. I feel apprehensive.
I notice a lot less blog traffic this weekend, I guess because it’s a holiday in the US.
I don’t feel “right” this morning. I have a specific idea about what may be bothering me, but it’s purely speculation. Maybe it has to do with losing a friend. Like someone you used to confide in and something happens and then you still see each other and talk but don’t confide in each other anymore. I feel hated. Did you ever really really like someone who you think hates you? I have, several times. Maybe the whole thing is my imagination. I never know how to handle social situations.
Friends come and go but enemies accumulate. I hate it when friends go. It hurts.
I cant think of anything to say.
I’m half way throught my first cup of coffee.
three quarters.
I’ve got my swim trunks on under my pants, like always. I will go to the beach at lunch today, I hope. After work is the scuba dive with the Biologist Girl. Maybe that’s why I feel apprehensive.
If my brain was an engine it would be running a little rough today. Quite rough actually.
I feel weird.

Here is the new sea swim schedule, we missed a couple of swims due to bad weather, Next is September 17, I expect to see you all here. C’mon! 800 meters! half mile! It’s easy! You don’t even need to train!! Please don’t kick my ass too bad!
Look what’s next though! 1 October. . .

Yesterday I gave advice to Anduin about her cat. Last night my dog woke me up with his frantic grunting and I told him to go lay down. This morning I woke up to a puddle of pee on the kitchen. I’m suposed to learn a lesson here I think. Anduin, if you’re reading this, forget what I said before, do whatever your cat wants you to do whenever he wants you to do it.

I am totally loaded up and ready to go diving. Tomorrow I’m diving with the Biologist Girl. Today is with my regular on-island dive buddy. I feel like I haven’t been diving in a long time. This morning I was putting my bailout bottles in the car and found my 75% O2 was empty. Leaked out apparently. Weird, because it’s happened before and I blamed the regulator, which I replaced. It doesn’t make bubbles underwater, so I don’t know how it could be leaking.
I grabbed my backup bailout bottle, 80% instead of 75%, but OK for bailout!
Redundancy baby! redundancy!
Yeeeee
Haaaaa!

I thought for sure I did my “Double Digits” post today. Not yesterday. So all day I thought I posted but I didn’t. I don’t really know where the day went today. I went to the beach, but left my book at home, so I just swam and played games and Yahoo Instant Messaged on my cell phone. then I cleaned up the house a little bit. A Very little bit. I did laundry and pushed the room around a little.
My dog defies the laws of physics. He’s a 40 pound dog who looses 60 pounds of hair every day. I kid you not! I have white tile floors and they suck! Every hair and piece of anything is plainly visible. He ran away this evening too. I let him out without the leash and he took off. All week I’ve been letting him off the leash and he’s been good and come back immediately when I called him. Not today. So I left him outside and went off for a while and when I got back, he was chained to the porch. I have good neighbors.
I ordered Chineese food for supper. Beef Lo Mein.
Monday after work I’m diving with the Biologist girl I mentioned who glues transmitters on turtles backs (she does more than that too, ya know). I am super excited. I mean SUPER EXCITED!! She also likes coffee. I think I’ll also see her Tuesday when I do the turtle beach walk again. This is the same girl whose number I got during a freedive class we both took a long time ago. She wrote her number on a teeny tiny piece of paper and I couldn’t find it. I finally did find it months later but I felt like I had waited too long to call. (I still have that teeny tiny piece of paper!) Then I signed up for the turtle thing and there she was. She doesn’t really act interested in me though, not that I can tell such things. But I plan on taking it slow.

Part of me is afraid to even hope.

My previous post is the first time I ever got double digit replies! I am sooo happy! I’ve been waiting and hoping, but I couldn’t say a word!

Today wasn’t a bad day, this morning at 6 I was at the beach, for my second “walk beach and look for turtle nests” training. I think next week I’ll be on my own. this morning we didn’t find any, but we followed this weird trail a long way. It looked like a turtle, you could see the belly marks and the tail marks, but no fin marks. Hmm? We followed it all the way to this garbage can with a split in the bottom! The split made the “tail mark” when someone obviously dragged it from down on the beach up to one of the condos! Oh well! I walked with a girl named Lori this morning. It was nice! Then a Dept of Environment vehicle picked us up and took us back to the beginning where our cars were.

Then I went to work and it was a long dull day. I don’t have too much to say about that. For lunch, I went to the beach again and walked a little, laid around a little and swam a little. Then back to work for a nearly intolerable Friday afternoon, I just wanted to go! After work, I came home and took a nap. coming home is a fatal flaw. Every day I tell myself I’m just going to run in, get the dog, and head back out to the beach. But I never do. I sit down at the computer. Check email, check blog, cruise other blogs. Then it’s later and I figure it’s too late and I’ll take a nap. I like it a lot better when I do something in the afternoon and not go straight home after work. Once I go home, that’s it, the day’s over. I need more self-discipline.

These evenings, Venus and Jupiter are very close together after the sun goes down. Even if you live in a big city with lots of streetlights, I am sure you can see two bright “stars” about a thumbs length apart soon after sunset. Look west, about halfway between the horizon and straight up. The brighter one is the planet Venus, and the other is Jupiter. Check it out! it’s pretty cool! And easy to see!

This morning I woke up at 2:30 AM. Yesterday I woke up at 3:30 AM. Day before that it was 4:30. At this rate, day after tomorrow, I might as well not even go to bed!
I feel like the only one awake on the planet. Is anybody out there?
