Today was finally a break from freezing and working on the newsletter. I went to Century Village today and worked there. Century Village is basically an old folks city. It reminds me of the Jerry Seinfeld thing about old folks homes. “Why do they have security? Are people stealing old people? Are old people escaping?” Century Village had some intense security.
The woman I worked with had basically zero computer skills, so she had me remaking fliers and stuff all morning. Apparently each flier or sign took her hours to make, and I was able to remake them in less than five minutes. So My day was spent re-doing her work. We went to lunch then to Goodwill. I went to Goodwill as part of my workday. Perfection. We got a bunch of tea cups and saucers because they are having a funky tea party next week and wanted to get all mismatched tea cups and saucers.
After work I went to Boca Town Center and returned some stuff, then met up with Jessica and we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner then shopping. She got a bunch of new work clothes and I just got a huge sweater. It is the comfiest thing ever.

Day 47 - Week Four, Tuesday
Another lame day of freezing in my office while working on the newsletter. I went to Publix after work and got some dinner. It was yet again packed with attractive men. I love going to the downtown Publix right after work. My dinner tonight was a turkey sub, raspberry tea, and a tub of raspberries. It was perhaps the most perfect dinner.

Day 46 - Week Four, Monday
Today was work as usual. I kept working on the newsletter and froze to death in my office. The ushe. Tonight Marsha and I went out to dinner to this place right across the street called Samba Room. It was amazing. I had the most delicious skirt steak I have ever had. And that was my day. The End.

Day 45 - Stressful Errand Day
This morning I woke up and went to lunch with Rob. Eh. Yes. Woke up then lunch. I went to his and Clay’s new apartment building in Riverside for the first time. I parked and got out of the car and looked up, and MC was creeping from above. We yelled back and forth for a minute, although I had no idea what he was saying. I can’t understand him even when he is standing right next to me. Too Asian. Rob and Clay’s new place is really nice. I had never been in those building before but I really liked it. I know a few other people that live over there. We went to the Loop for lunch, then his old house where I had a package waiting, because I am dumb and shipped it there instead of my own house. I don’t know how that happened.
This afternoon was ridiculously stressful. Granny had to go to the ER since she has a fever and whatnot and I went to get Liam so he wouldn’t have to stay there. We came home and I put together my new camera and then went to Best Buy to pick up Jenn. Then we went to Jiffy Lube so that I could get my oil changed. That took forever and it was gross there. Jenn was crazy today. Running on only 4 hours of sleep and excitement on top of that. Omg. Hyper. We went to Crispers for lunch then to Target so that I could get film and a case for my new camera then to GameStop. That was an experience. Apparently Jenn has never played a GameBoy in her entire life. So she stood there playing GameBoy and Liam tried to pick out games to exchange. This was at 4:30ish, and I still had to drive back to Fort Lauderdale. I was not pleased. By the time we finally left I had to scurry home and get packed and leave. I did not want t leave. I am exhausted and I don’t want to face another week of work. Thank god I am half way through though.

Day 44 - Ponte Vedra, Inksmith, TSI, Joose Adventure
Today started off amazing. I slept in until 11:30, and when I finally wok up, it was my mom waking me up telling me that she got me French Toast from the Brick. God it was delicious. If I could eat that every meal for the rest of my life, I would be content. Fat, but content. We spent the afternoon in Ponte Vedra at Granny’s house. Her surgery went well, and she is just recovering. We didn’t do much, and just relaxed. I went to Fresh Market and Publix and did some grocery shopping then we made dinner. Granny seems to be doing really well. She didn’t seem tired or anything at all.
When I got home tonight I took a shower and got ready to go to TSI. Jenn picked me up and we began our Adventure of the Evening. We were going to go to Kickbacks for a while since Mike Woods was going to be up there, but we wanted to find someone to get us Joose. We stopped at the 7-11 in Five Points, and tried to see if anyone we knew was in the parking lot. While sitting in the car I heard the most hilarious conversation.
Jenn looked over at the next car, where a girl was sitting with the window down: “Hey, is your name Felicia?”
Felicia: “Yeah….”
Jenn: “Oh we met once at Emily’s house.”
Felicia: “Oh Jenn, right?”
Jenn: “Yeah. What are you doing tonight?”
Felicia: “Going to a five kegger at Cuppy’s house.”
Jenn: “Oh do you know Jmo? She will be there.”
Felicia: “No. Who is she?”
Jenn: “Oh she dates Boots.”
Felicia: “Oh, friends with Titties right?”
What the hell. Do people not have normal names anymore? Cuppy, Jmo, Boots, Titties. From here on out, my name is Unicorn. That fits in much better than “Kate.” Felicia said they don’t card at the gas station, so I sent Jenn in to try her luck. Fail. We went to Kickbacks and sat there for seriously 2 minutes then got bored and left. Then we drove back and went to Inksmith, where Mike Woods was still working. We hung out for a bit and watched Lee finish tattooing this one girl, then Mike bought us our Joose. Hoorah. From there we went to TSI and hung out in the car for a little while. We parked on the side of the road near the river, and we sat and watched everyone walk by. There were some funny looking people. One guy was walking towards the car, and he was waving the whole time. We waved back thinking, “ooohh he’s drunk.” Then he walked right at the car and opened my door. Jenn and I both screamed bloody murder. He just said, “oh” and closed the door. It was scary. But of course two seconds later a homeless man walks past and I rolled down my window to make him come over to the car. He was wearing this awesome shirt, and I told him I liked it. Then he just took it off and said, “Here, it shouldn’t smell too bad” and just gave it to me. We gave him the rest of our drinks and took pictures for a bit then headed towards TSI. We told him to walk with us and right when we got there he flipped. Started making a scene and freaking out because I “stole his short.” Jenn had to run back to her car and get it because both of us were scared that he would just break in and get it. While she was gone he said, “Oh you enjoy that shirt. I am just gonna go home and get another one.” Um? Home? Another shirt? What about him flipping on us? We stood in silence for a minute and he said, out of nowhere, “You know it is true what they say about black men.” And I just pretended not to hear, but then he practically screamed it. I was just like, “Oh really.” And he said, “Yes. It all has to do with SEX!” I had no reaction to that one at all. Jenn came back and dressed him and sent him on his way. We scurried into TSI to get away.
Once we were there, safe and sound, Jenn got a quesadilla. I don’t feel like you should ever get food at a place where everyone is supposed to be drunk. Apparently it wasn’t too delicious. We hung out with Clayto for a bit then went inside. There was no one there at all. The majority of the night was spent outside talking with people or meandering about. All in all, it was a hilarious night. The whole time we were driving home my wine bottle was rolling about underneath my seat and I couldn’t find it. But every so often you could hear CLUMP. CLANK. And for some reason each time Jenn and I just cracked up.
Manly.

Day 43 - Week Three, Friday
Last night was amazing. Right after I left work I went back to the apartment, hanged, and left to go to the museum. I got in free and there was no one there at all. Amazing combination. They had a contemporary art exhibit, which left me in the most amazing mood possible. They had Sally Mann, Barbara Kruger, Banksy, Judd, Hirst, Rauschenberg, and so much more. I was shocked by the Banksy piece. I would never expect to see something like that in a non-major museum. It was half of a phone booth surrounded by rubble. The first time I passed by there, there were about 5 or 6 security guards just loitering and following me around because there was nothing else for them to do. I went into another wing and shook them off, and when I came back, there was no one around the Banksy piece. I wanted to steal a rock from the rubble so bad. It would definitely not be missed, there were thousands. But there were security cameras all over the place. Ugh I want a Banksy rock. I wasn’t even allowed to take pictures. As I was leaving I asked about the Banksy piece, and the woman kept calling him “Banksky.” People tend to do that a lot for some reason and I don’t understand. There is one “K.” Not that hard to pronounce this two syllable word. I left with a few books, of course.
As I was leaving I called Ashley and told her about it, and I got to talk to her for a while, which was nice. I have been trying to call her for weeks and finally she answered her phone. As I was talking to her I drove down Las Olas and drove around the beach area or a bit, then went to Cheesecake Factory and picked up some dinner.
Today at work was boring. I honestly can’t remember what I did. Nothing important, obviously. I did get the majority of the newsletter cleared, and I am happy about that. This afternoon right after I left Good Sam I drove home. The drive was long and boring, and most importantly uneventful. Right when I got home Jenn came over and just sat around while I cleaned my room. It is a wreck. Why is it that when you are cleaning you must first make a much bigger mess than when you started? I hate that.

Day 42 - Week Three, Thursday
This morning started out awesome. I didn’t have to deal with drying my hair or anything this morning and I had nothing to do, AND I didn’t have to be in West Palm until 9:00 so I didn’t even get out of bed until 7:15. Usually I leave well before Marsha but this morning when I heard her yell and tell me that she was leaving, I was still in bed. I went with Denise and Julia to a meeting with an advertising company. They are called the Boner Group, but pronounce it the Bonner Group. The sign on their door looked like it said “Boner Big Group.” Basically I just stood there and laughed until Denise got there.
I obviously have the maturity of a 13 year old boy.
When we got back to Good Sam I had a conference call with a woman in Dallas who is charge of a branch of social media networking out there. I sat on the call for a half hour, and she never came. Then around 12:15 Denise comes in and asked why I hadn’t called in. I didn’t think about the time change. Fail. We are talking tomorrow instead. All afternoon I worked on the newsletter, and Carrie and I found a way to print it. It looks awesome and I am so stoked.
I am going to try to go to the museum today instead. It doesn’t close until 8. Leaving work now.
