I'm finally feeling better - just about 100%. I'd say 98% right now. I still have to clear my throat throughout my day.

Yesterday, I told my mom that I'd take her out for her birthday today since I work on her birthday, Tues. She wanted to go for lunch instead of dinner - so we went to PF Chang's. We had the Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps, Almond and Cashew Chicken, Shrimp w/candied walnuts and the Combo pan fried noodles. Then I dropped her off at GVR so she could pick up the football cards while I went home to drop off our leftovers, and then I drove back and we stayed about an hour to gamble. I donated $20.

I was so tired after that - so I ended up sleeping a few hours. When I got up, I went to the grocery store.

Oh, in the morning I watched the last episode of "Long Vacation". In one part, Senna's teacher told him that he's the kind of person who wouldn't use the word "lonely". And that when he plays the piano, he needs to break through his wall and find someone to play for. It made me think that I may be that type too. It made me wonder why it seems hard for me to fall in love. Some people seem to do it easily, but I either run away or give up too quickly...maybe? When I meet someone that I'm a little attracted to, I don't think about pursuing him or trying to get his attention. What would happen if I did? I guess my thinking is a little old fashioned - I think the man should move first. When we went out last Thurs., one of my co-workers told me that when she first met her boyfriend, she told him, "Just to let you know, you're my new boyfriend"! I thought it was cute...and bold =).

Love and relationships...they take up so much of our energy and time.
