Today has been a pretty groovy day

 

May 24, 1999

Today has been a pretty groovy day ... I have had a tummy ache ... but beyond that I fared pretty well ... I am really worried about Harley ... he hasn't been out all day ... he wasn't waiting to eat when I woke up ... and he has been sitting behind the couch all day ... I have gone back there to pet him a bit ... but he hasn't come out ... even when I call him ... which for Harley is very unusual ... I am hoping he is just tired today ... but of course I worry big time with him ... I talked to my mom today about staying in school ... and both she and my dad think I should get a job ... and not go to school for a while ... my mom even suggested looking in Vegas ... Kris and Chevy would let me stay with them till I got on my feet ... So tonight I was telling my friend Jason S. and he gave me the phone number and email address of a friend of his that runs a web designing company out there ... I immediately sent him a message and I hope to hear from him soon ... I would definitely be willing to go out there this weekend if he had any interest in hiring me ... god Kris and Chevy would be so happy if it worked out ... and so would I ... I have spent the evening talking to my friend Dale ... he is so cool ... and just makes me feel good all the time ... only kind words come from his fingers (since we are talking via AOL) ... again I am a lucky person ... I have started working on a new page for my site ... I am calling it tidbits ... little things about me that aren't listed anywhere else that people have asked about ... just not sure what all I am going to include ... I have had to spend huge amounts of times fixing stuff on my computer ... when I import the web pages ... it makes the file names all capital letters and my server is case sensitive ... so I have to change each one back to lower case ... talk about mind numbing ... I have come across this song on my Baz Lerman CD called "Happy Feet" a remixed song from the 40's that I can't get enough of ... I have listened to it like 50 times today ... I came across it last night when I was all stressed out ... and crying ... and it just made me want to dance ... I can't keep from bouncing around when I listen to it ... make me wanna take swing dance lessons ... or at least go hang out where they are playing music from the 40's ... my goodness it is so strange ... I have only been on a couple of dates in the last 8 months ... and 3 of the guys today IMed me to tell me they have girlfriends now ... I am really happy for all of them ... I will admit ... they all seemed just a tad bummed that I was happy for them ... but it is kinda freaky they all IMed me today ... oh there is something I feel just awful about ... when I was talking to Jason S. tonight ... I told him I hadn't received the digital camera tonight ... he said well there has been a problem ... he told his secretary I hadn't gotten it ... and needed the receipt to do a trace on it ... she was supposed to send it registered mail ... well she told him she didn't know where the receipt was ... I guess he got really mad ... and is now leaving the company he is working for ... ohhh I just feel horrible about the whole thing ... and he is thinking she stole it ... ack!! it just sucks ... I wanted to go to bed early tonight ... but it doesn't look like I am doing a very good job of that ... I need to do some serious house cleaning and I wanted to get up early to work on it ... I am still having problems with my site ... and earthlink won't help me ... that just amazes me ... I pay for my service ... but since I use a web cam ... they won't help ... hardly seems right if you ask me ... and I have checked everything on my end and it is all correct and working perfectly ... so it has to be something on their end ... but that truly makes no difference to them ... I wrote the guy or designed the program I use to upload the pictures ... he is totally cool and has written me back quickly in the past when I have had questions ... so maybe he will have some suggestions for me ... ohhh and by the way I am LOVING this new desk of mine ... I can't believe I waited so long to build it ... I have been thinking about it for ages but I just didn't think it would work that well ... I was definitely wrong ... but then hey it wasn't the first time ... well I am out of things to write ... I guess it wasn't a very eventful day ... seems like there is more I wanna write but I think I am actually just too tired ... so that definitely means it is off to bed!!
