Sleep is getting better every night, and I haven't had to raise my thermostat during the night, so the down comforter was a good purchase. I was still a bit sore/tingly around my neck/face this morning, but I declined taking any ibuprofen so I could try to figure out what the issue might be. It's seeming like the next issue to address is the chair I have in the living room. As I didn't bring any real furniture with me, I'm using a foldable camping chair (*with* armrests! ;-) ) to sit in daily. Worst. Posture. Evar. This thing really sucks for back support & makes me slouch like whoa. (Where the hell did I pick that phrase up!?I don't remember ever using it before!?) Anyway, I was going to look for furniture for the LR, but in talking with my ma last night about her car situation, she mentioned that she might need a bit more of the money I still owe her to get a different car (did I write about this yet?), so it looks like I'll be $1k lighter in the bank account by next week. I have it, but it's going to take the balance low enough that I won't feel comfortable buying new furniture yet. Still I need to fond something to sit in every night that doesn't fuck up my back... Hrmm.
Got another workout scheduled for tonight, and I'm really looking forward to it. It was really hard to get myself downstairs on Saturday to make up for the one I missed Friday, but after the first couple sets, I started to feel really good & realized just how much I missed lifting. I know there's no way it's made any real changes in me yet, but already I feel better/stronger. This Friday night is going to be a struggle, though, as a couplefew dj's from Detroit are heading to this side of the state for guest spots, and I really want to go support them. It's up near GRJ's area, so it's less than half as far as I'd normally drive to hit the club. This is also the place CC & I checked out, and we had a good time, which is another reason I'd like to go - haven't been there since. So now I'm debating, do I stick to my (self-imposed) guns & avoid clubs/bars until I've hit my goal, or do I go to just this one, not drink, and then get back to my plan?

[Angel on right: "Don't go! You made a commitment to yourself, don't let temptation derail your plans!"]
[Rational intellect in middle: "Shut up, both'a yas! Leave me alone! I need to be logical about this!"]
Btw, I did get to jam with that guy on Sunday - was an ok time, and the guy's original stuff was pretty good, but I'm not sure I'm going to get on alright with him. My current drummer has a drinking issue, and this guy seems like he might as well. His idea of relaxing after a hard day's work is buying a bunch of beer, chugging a couple to get a buzz on, then jammin' the day away. That's fine if he wants to go that route, but I'm not sure I want to be around that. It went well though, and I told him we should get together a couple more times & see how it goes. I'm open to seeing if this was a one-time thing, but I get the feeling it's not. Also, him music is a lot heavier than what I'm looking to do, and I'm not sure how open he'll be to making my kind of music. Overall, though, I'm leaning towards this not working out. Just got an overall uncomfortable vibe from the situation...
Oh, and Viv's b/f got some good news - apparently, his cancer wasn't as widespread as they first thought, so he won't have to make the trip up here! Not only is that great for him, I'm happy that she doesn't have to go through the stress of watching him go through treatment (Not to mention the fact that now I don't have to sweat the 'can I stay with you a bit?' situation!).
And finally, I had the weirdest desire last night to go on a first date - and strangely enough, not for the physical aspects of it, like getting a chance to make out with someone (or more), but the whole 'nervous, butterflies-in-stomach' process of getting to know someone you think might have serious potential, you know? The flirting, the furtive glances, the shy smiles, etc... man, I miss that...
