Aren't You Lucky?

****

Technically, it's after midnight, so it's not the 10th
anymore. I prefer to think of days in terms of when I go
to bed and when I get up. It won't be the 11th until I get
up in 6 hours. I'm still wide awake and I felt like
writing so I am. Aren't you lucky?

I slept really good last night. I had the most disturbing
dream, but it wasn't scary disturbing, just kinda
like "why the hell am I doing this" disturbing. It didn't
make sense and it had a lot of people I knew in it, but
not as the people I know. One of them was Sam (Gen's
husband). He was this guy named Richard I was having an
affair with. But, in the dream I recognized him as Sam and
didn't want to have the affair with him, but dream me did
it anyway and I just felt like crap for it. I think the
dream was trying to tell me something. I still haven't
figured it out yet. I'm thickheaded.

Most of the day I spent with Gen, which shouldn't come as
a surprise. We went to Starbucks and did our usual thing,
only this time we had the girls with us (there's no
daycare on the weekend). After coffee, we went to dinner
at Applebee's. There's only one thing on the menu I can
eat. The steamed vegetables and salad combo. Usually it's
pretty disappointing for me. I have plain, bland, too
crunchy veggies and a pile of lettuce with Italian
Dressing. Not much fun. But tonight was different. I had
the usual combo, but Lucas H. our waiter made it so much
better than usual. He made sure my veggies were steamed a
little longer and instead of a pathetic bowl of iceberg, I
got a lovely plate of arugula and other baby greens with
big slices of cucumber and wedges of tomato, not to
mention the best honey balsamic vinaigrette I've ever had.
I wanted to kiss him, but I didn't. Instead I gave him a
$6 tip (on a $15 check. I thought that was pretty
generous). Next time I go there, I'm definitely asking for
Lucas H.

I just had to add that Kiki was in such a good mood today!
I think she's finally starting to feel better. The past
week she's been very tempermental and irritable, but today
was like night and day. She was laughing, playing games
and just being such a good girl. I like it when she's like
that. Annie was her usual self, which isn't either good or
bad. She's just Annie. I accept her for how she is,
although I don't always like it and would love to change
some of her behaviors. Whatever. She is who she is. I'll
never be able to change her.

The rest of the day was okay. We went to Dollar Tree to
get Annie's valentines for her class, then Safeway to get
some groceries. Gen invited me to a get together, so I
made a pasta dish to take with. I hope it goes over well.
If not, I know I like it.

I think I'll be headed off to bed now. It's 1am. I need to
work on not staying up so late. Ciao.
