living the wallpaper life

today i got a tea kettle, toaster oven, brita, and ordered a land line so that he can hear me say "no" next time he asks me to fly somewhere alone. i forgot to get tea.

there has been a lot on my mind lately, and it usually shows. people i don't know keep asking me if things are ok, and i'm not always sure what to say. most of the time i don't feel like talking about things, because there isn't anything they can do. also, because to get them up to date takes a good 5-10 minutes.

last week at charlie's someone asked if i was ok, and i said i'd kind of had a bad month. they said they'd had a bad week, and i said that my dad just died, and they said, "it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." i said i wasn't so sure and then they fell off the barstool and had to be dragged outside.

a flight attendant (who referred to herself as "grandma") on the second leg of my flight monday told me she was worried about me, and that she was keeping her eye on me. maybe it was my suspected terrorist button.

at lunch tuesday of of the customers said i looked tired. i said it's been a long couple of months. he asked, "lots of travelling?" i said, "yeah, i guess so."

my logitech mx700 came in today. i'm excited because it works on my desk without a mouse pad (unlike my older cordless optical mouse).
