Still sick, but getting better. Oh, and I’ve a new journal. I’m pretty excited about it, the same kind of excitement that I feel when I purchase any new material thing, really. I’ve been conditioned to feel this way by my consumerist culture, but the feeling is mine and the feeling is real. This journal has more narrowly spaced lines than what I’ve been writing in, and the whole this is about three-quarters the size.
It’s going to rain tomorrow. I’m rather bummed out y this. I’ve not been able to ride my bike much because of this temporary illness, and now that I’m starting to recover the environment turns against me. That’s fine, though. The valley could really use the rain. One of the cable channels I receive is dedicated to public notices and announcements. Most of the time it relays messages about our need to conserve water. The valley has been in a drought for the last few years. Hopefully the rain will help.
Still, though, I’ve spent most of my last three days stuck inside with very few exceptions. My apartment is lovely, but I need to get out.
Shayna may go see Avatar with her family tomorrow or the next day, and I may be able to join them, if I’m feeling healthy enough to make the trek up. Taking the car is also an option, but I feel guilty whenever I resort to driving, especially when I don’t have passengers. Maybe tomorrow the fever & mucus will be gone and I’ll be able to bike the nine or so miles to the lightrail station. Or I could just shell out the cash and take the bus. Hrm.
My mother seemed off tonight. She says it’s because she’s pissed off at my dad at the moment, but I feel that there is something else. She tries to keep her feelings to herself, but they always make it to her face.
My body is getting tired. It becomes more and more difficult to stay up like this, so I shouldn’t make it a habit.
Shayna’s gone. While it is nice to have time to oneself, I miss her. I guess I’ll just have to sit here and listen to Radiohead by myself. Damn, that is depressing. I’d better go and start emotionally eating.
