Heather & Rob visit me!

What a rollercoaster of a weekend, emotion-wise.

Saturday was just boring. Jon got up and then he promptly
fell asleep on the couch for most of the day (because he'd
stayed up til 5am, duh). I cleaned up most of the house and
shoveled the driveway. When he got up he's all "rub my
hands?"... and I told him "um, no. I just cleaned the whole
house and shoveled the driveway"... he thinks I'm silly for
shoveling the driveway, but it had to get done and he
obviously wasn't doing it. I've shoveled the driveway the
last four times it's snowed. Ugh.

Heather called around, I dunno, 4-ish to tell me that she
didn't think she could make dinner. She felt sick from
something ("I've been on the toilet all day" um, TMI?) and
she had some hockey dinner to go to, so I asked if she
wanted to try lunch on Sunday. She said she thought that
could work. So, we chatted for a bit, then hung up. I was
just feeling frustrated and irritable yesterday. Moody,
bigtime moody. Jon decided to make an angelfood cake, so I
went to A&P to get some stuff. I got cool whip for the cake,
and some stuff to make mini pizzas (yum, gonna have one
tonight), and a bunch of junk food. I haven't bought junk
food in a long time, it must've been because I was so
emotional. Seriously, I got two bags of Hershey's chocolate
and a box of Oreos. Ate like, 6 on the drive home. And had
like, 3 pieces of frosted angelfood cake. Bleh.

We watched a bit of TV, and I dunno. I was just feeling like
I wanted to cry. I've been feeling so lonely and isolated. I
hate it. It was probably around 10, Jon was trying to figure
out how to change the privacy settings on my AIM account
using Trillian and I was bugging him. He told me to go watch
TV for a while, so I went upstairs. He yelled for me, I told
him it was fine and just got in bed. Cried for a while,
convinced myself that I should know by now, Jon never chases
after me when I run away like this. He never comes to find
me and comfort me. But he did... he came up, I cried to him,
tried to talk to him a little, told him I felt sad and
alone. I think he feels a little guilty for having me move
down here away from my family and what few friends I did
have in Albany. He also said that he has a hard time finding
people to connect to in this area. He was so sweet, he
rubbed my head and neck for a while until I was about to
pass out. It was near midnight when I finally went to bed.
It was good to talk with him and just get it out.

I woke up early, like 7:30. Showered, cleaned up some more.
Heather called around 10-ish to let me know that her team
had won their game and they were headed back to the hotel to
pack all their stuff up and checkout and then they'd be on
their way to our house. Jon cleaned himself up (I made him
shower and shave, ha!) and then Heather and her fiance Rob
arrived. YAY! It was good to see her, and she gave me a
really good hug, and we both mentioned that it had been
about a year since we last saw each other. I gave them the
tour, Heather played with Sophie for a bit. We all came
downstairs and decided to order food since Heather didn't
have much time. We got food from Portofino's, Jon paid (but
I'll be paying him back cause it was almost $70 for four of
us!! YIKES!!). We sat and ate, and talked. It was nice. Rob
is into a lot of the same music we are, so he and Jon talked
music for a bit. Hopefully we can convince them to come down
for a weekend to stay with us sometime. I told Heather she
could bring her dogs. She has 2 pugs and hates to leave
them... I figure the cat would hide out upstairs or
something. Whatever.

So, they left around 1, it was really good to see Heather
again. Jon and I decided to go out for a drive. We went into
Bedford (where Martha Stewart lives.. and Donald Trump), got
some stuff at CVS, looked at Staples at their blank
invitations. Jon said he's ok with not sending invites or
save the dates so early. He'd like to send them in May,
though... so, it's a compromise. We'll see. Then we just
drove... ended up in Greenwich, all the huge houses are
surrounded by stone walls there! WTF! Damn rich assholes, we
just wanted to ogle your house, lameasses. So, we finally
got home around 4-ish. I came up to the computer room to
hang with the birds. Ate like, 6 more oreos. I'm such a pig.
The cockatiels are sitting on each knee preening themselves,
Isabel is over on her stand doing the same. Jon's asleep on
the couch downstairs. I feel like I should call my mom. Or
my sister. Maybe I'll call my sister first. Hm.

I ordered the Plasma CD by Trey, a Particle CD and a Slip CD
on Amazon just now. Only like, $36 used. Sweet -- I'll have
some new music to listen to at work soon.

Uh. Anyway. Guess that's it from here. Ramble on.
