At 3pm I have to Give up my Seat in the Teen Section

as i'm down to my last few days of total freedom (before the big job starts and i have little time to breathe let alone blog) i'm taking full advantage of my lack of structure. after ABN left this morning - i went back to sleep. i haven't done that, not once, since moving to SF. and it felt so good. i haven't slept well the last couple of nights. i'm doing that mind racing thing and at the same time hording my ativan - i really need to get a doctor so i can refill my prescription - a bad combination. things currently on my mind include, but are clearly not limited to:

• switching blog hosts/title/layout - it feels like a hell of a lot of change. what if my readers don't make the transition?
• making sure ABN does our taxes
• prepping for passover - i'm making the chicken soup this weekend
• CURLY - we need a phone date asap
• taxes
• cancelling my gym membership - have mentioned my new job has a fancy gym? (i know, i know...)
• convincing ABN we are ready for a dog, by doing my part to research how much caring for a dog really costs, talking to my landlord, and sending him throughout the day photos of dogs that are up for adoption that are just too cute to resist. i fell head over heels with a certain mutt named astro yesterday - but i believe that loyal protector of his territory is code word for barker...so i've moved on

my plate is feeling pretty full and i haven't even begun to think about what i'm going to wear for my first day of work on friday (talk about stressful!). i'm also in need of a work bag - or at least, i would like to get a new bag for work. i have a pretty good idea of what i want but can't seem to find the right one anywhere. you know, big enough for a notebook but not SO big (SO BIG is usually my problem). something that falls perfectly in the crook of my arm. black. in case anyone is interested, i love everything on the cole haan website - but they are way out of my price range.

yeah, i think that covers it.

after my extra hour of sleep today i headed to BERNIE'S and then the gym and now i'm in the hot and noisy library (you'd think i'd learn). the library is not helping with my feelings of trying to keep my head above water. i finally finished THE ABSTINENCE TEACHER (blech...i have no idea what the point was. there was no resolution. and it was trashy. but without real sex. i hated it. but of course, i read it cover to cover anyway). i currently have four library books in my possession - one for book club, one that i picked up before my trip that i had reserved months ago that finally came in and then today - two more were ready. i also have PEOPLE OF THE BOOKsitting on my shelf, patiently waiting and waiting, endlessly waiting. and i need to find a book on dog adoption. and my VANITY FAIR still hasn't arrived and i don't know whether i should be grateful because i can't handle one more thing or annoyed because where the hell is it? (i feel equal parts of both).
